    How to network XP and 7 with a switch?

    I got it partly working. I can see the Wind's files on my desktop, but not the other way around.

    How to network XP and 7 with a switch?

    I'm not sure where to even place the files I want to share. Ideally, I could have a folder on the desktop or documents folder of each machine that I could just place files in and share.

    How to network XP and 7 with a switch?

    I would like to network my main desktop (7 x64/Fedora 11) and my MSI Wind (XP) using a five port switch. Currently, I’m able to ping each of the machines, but I’m lost as to how to actually transfer files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Wireless network without internet?

    I don't really care about internet connectivity on any of them but my main desktop right now. I mainly want to be able to stream media over the netbook. Is it as simple as buying a wireless router and assigning a few IPs?

    Wireless network without internet?

    I'm trying to set up a way to connect my netbook, smartphone, torrent box and main desktop in my home. I can't get broadband, so I'm stuck on dial-up. Is wireless networking possible with only a dial-up connection?

    Can I use my iphone without a sim card

    If I'm not mistaken, it won't work unless there is a SIM in the tray. Even if the SIM is deactivated, it still works.

    Any PC gamers in Tennessee?

    I'm from Newport. As far as I can tell, I'm the only PC gamer in my town if you don't include WoW :(

    How Tigerdirect.com ships terabyte HD's

    I would bet that your drive will be fine. If it dies, I doubt the shipping journey had anything to do with it. Like was said earlier in this topic, most HDDs have a very high G force tolerance when they aren't powered on.

    Q6600 or Acer 22" LCD

    Go for the quad. I love mine, and I had an E2160 before it. I have a 22", and I wish I had just paid the extra for a 24" :(

    How can I change the default folder view in Vista?

    Nevermind I figured it out. How do you delete a topic?

    Doing a clean install of xp, what to install?

    That list looks nice, but personally I wouldn't install Avast and Spybot. I can't stand virus protection programs. How about uTorrent?

    How can I change the default folder view in Vista?

    Every folder, by default, has this view: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh27/johnrhance/grid.jpg I would like to change it so that this view is the default: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh27/johnrhance/gridlarge.jpg Can anyone help me do that? I've looked all over the place to no avail.

    I can't seem to find green LED case fans

    I'm in need of two 120mm green LED fans and one 80mm green LED fan. I would buy from Newegg, but they're charging me $15 for shipping and I refuse to pay that for a box that would weigh less than 1lb. Any of you all know where I could pick them up for a reasonable price?

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    I'm using Coretemp.

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    Right now it's about 59c-62c. I'm going to up it to 3.0 and raise the vcore until its stable for at least a few minutes. I'll leave the test running when I go to bed tonight too.

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    Haha well I guess I'll have to buy one now. What if I do get it to run at, say 3.4ghz stable, and it's only running at 50c idle? Would I still need to buy another cooler?

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    I increased it by 25mV like you said, and I think it worked! CPU-Z now reads it as 1.312 instead of the 1.296 like before. I wonder how far I'll need to up to to run stable at 3.0ghz. Trial and error right?

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    To be honest, I think I'm changing the wrong setting and not actually the vcore. Can you look at the picture in my 1st post and tell me which setting is the vcore?

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    Well I ran Prime95 all night at stock speed and didn't get an error. At least I know my chip is stable at that speed. I'm going to move it up to 2.5ghz and test it some more.

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    I just realized that changing the CPU VTT setting doesn't seem to actually changed my vcore. Perhaps I should try a different setting?

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    Okay I ran Prime95 for a few minutes and ended up with a temp of 60c and a voltage of 1.264. What should I do now?

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    In Windows, CPU-Z reports my voltage as 1.296 and I have it set to be 1.31. I manually set the ram to be a little slower because I figured it wouldn't be stable at over 800mhz. I plan on adding an aftermarket cooler, probably the AC7, but only if I can at least get this chip stable over 3.0ghz...

    How High Will This P4 Go?

    What's the record for a P4? 9ghz?

    How High Will This P4 Go?

    Ha, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a beast. That is a nice speed with such a low voltage, but remember, it's still a P4 :p

    Q6600 won't get past 3.0ghz

    I've been overclocking my Q6600 recently, but I seem to have hit a wall. I can't get it to post past 333x9 (3.0ghz) and it isn't stable at that speed. Here's a picture of my bios settings to be sure I'm right: http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh27/johnrhance/settings.jpg I thought maybe I...

    Buying Q6600 from Newegg will I get a G0?

    I bought a retail version, too.

    Buying Q6600 from Newegg will I get a G0?

    Typically, yes. I think my chip isn't that great, and it's a G0. I can't break 3.0ghz, even at almost 1.4 vcore. Could possibly be my RAM though.

    POLL: Worst place to buy an LCD

    I got my Samsung 22" from Buy.com. They were the only ones who had it in stock at the time. Good price, fast shipping, overall nice purchase.

    E8500 vs. Q6600 vs. Q9550

    With the Q6600 being under $200 now, I would definitely get it over the Q9series. I wouldn't even consider a dual core, especially since you're wanting this build to last a few years.

    Buying Q6600 from Newegg will I get a G0?

    I highly doubt you could get a B3 from Newegg now.
