    Does anyone know why this message is displayed when I plug in a USB 3.0 thumb drive ( Patriot Supersonic Xpress 3.0 USB 32GB #PSF32GXPUSB) to the USB 3.0 front panel connector on my case (which is connected to the USB 3.0 header on my MPower board)??? To test the USB thumb drive to see if it...

    SSD in a netbook?

    I'm seriously thinking of buying one of the more powerful netbooks, but battery life with the new Intel/AMD dual core mobile processors frankly sucks. Has anyone here swapped out the 160/250 GB hard drive in a netbook? If so, did you notice a performance increase and/or longer battery life?

    Anyone playing Borderlands

    I've been playing through it both solo (character is level 28 currently) and co-operatively with my son (we are both level 13 at the moment). It's pretty darn fun either way - I haven't played a game I got into this much since System Shock 2 and the Half Life series. The visuals are also...

    Real (measurable) benefits of using 2 onboard NIC's ???

    I just purchased a new P55 motherboard and it features (2) Gigabit LAN ports. I see this feature on many mid/upper range motherboards, but I'm not familiar with what situations would warrant using both ports (or even the vaguest idea of how to utilize both at the same time). I do play a lot...

    Inkjet or Laser Printer recommendation?

    I've been on the HP printer train for a LONG time, and I'm ready to make a switch to another brand. I'm simply fed up with HP's bloatware drivers/software suite (kinda reminds me of Creatives) and their seemingly poor Vista 64 driver support. I need a printer/scanner/copier for home use -...

    It's 2010 - why aren't CPU speeds faster?

    I know that cpu speed isn't the end-all-be-all of a processors performance, but why hasn't it gone beyond - or even reached - 4Ghz? Is it due to power requirements? Heat output? Limits of the current manufacturing tech? I'm talking about air cooled cpu's here - not exotically cooled rigs. It...

    Any Deals to be had on GTX 275's ?

    I picked up the 9800gt for next to nothing through the BFG AGP trade in program they had a while back. My plan was to replace it with something faster when the new ATi / nVidia cards were out for a bit, but it seems I'm caught in the non-pricing war that's going on currently. :mad: So has...

    I wanted a bigger LCD to replace my Samsung 225BW 22" & I've been searching/researching/looking at larger monitors for months. My budget was $300 - $400 or so, and there seem to be a dizzying amount of 24" - 26" LCD's available in this price range. I also wanted to buy one at a BM store so...

    Plasma TV for PC Gaming and PC Monitor?

    Performance increase from Athlon 64 X2 5000+ to X2 6000+???

    What kind of performance jump should I see after upgrading from an Athlon 64 X2 5000+ to an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ ??? Increased gaming performance is my main concern, but wouldn't mind if Vista 64 & everday apps (Email/Web Browsing/Etc,..) were speedier too.
