    So how have you set it up then? Do you need portable to do this? The cache variables haven't made a noticeable difference.

    Firefox constant hdd writes

    Is there anyway to stop firefox from constantly writing to the hard drive while browsing to different pages? On some sites it's so bad that there is hard drive activity for up to 10 or 15 seconds. A file monitor says its the cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite-journal file that are writing. I...

    Looking for a small atx case that doesn't waste space.

    I'm trying to find a case that will house the following, full sizes atx motherboard with a large heat sink, normal psu, one optical drive and up to four hard drives and it should use 120mm fans. I'd also like to see the psu at the front where there is usually unused external bays. Then there...

    Canadian Smartphone Options

    I'm just going on what the store told me. Just thought of another comparison. What is the game situation on andriod? The iphone will have plenty of games, how does andriod compare? Is there a comparison between the two phones for 3d graphics, or is the graphics power based off the same 1ghz...

    Canadian Smartphone Options

    Bell does have the legend but yea it's older and I'm not interested. It's between the galaxy s and the iphone 4 because I don't think anything else compares in Canada right now. The Bell store I've been dealing with says they will get the 4 in this weekend, but they don't know how many so...

    Canadian Smartphone Options

    I'm with Bell in Canada and trying to decide which new phone to get. Last month I signed a contract and got the 3gs, then two weeks later found out the iphone 4 was coming mid july (I assumed it would be coming to canada late like the 3gs took til the end of 09). So I returned the 3gs inside the...

    Cell phone security through 3G/wifi

    I tried searching for some answers but most of the results ended up explaining how to bypass smart phone security or some other hacks. My question though is how safe is it using passwords or sending other sensitive info over 3G? What little I did find in my search said that 3G data has some...

    win7 install made secondary drive 'system' how to reverse?

    Well setting C to active forced my hand. After I restarted it got a boot manager missing error and couldn't do anything with all or just the C connected. With just C connected I booted with the win7 disc and let it repair the start up problems. Now in disc manager the C is active and system...

    win7 install made secondary drive 'system' how to reverse?

    Yea I've set the C to active through disk management. Now both C and D are active. Is there no way to make C the system drive through windows? I'm sketched out about trying to repair windows from the win7 install disc.

    win7 install made secondary drive 'system' how to reverse?

    with only the c: connected there is no boot drive found on start up, and loading with the win7 install disc it isn't able to detect any installations. but when in the win7 installer from the boot disc i am able to browse through the c: drive.

    win7 install made secondary drive 'system' how to reverse?

    I did a fresh install of win7 a few months ago to my c: with all three of my hard drives in the system. But now when you go through computer management to disk management, the c: shows as boot, page, crash, primary, and the d: shows as system, primary. How do I make the c: include the system...

    Streaming tv killed/is trying to kill my video cards

    And you guys were right about the temperature as supreme commander gets it up to 60c without problems.

    Temps don't change with the hardware acceleration turned off, so just see if it happens again I guess.

    Streaming tv killed/is trying to kill my video cards

    The card is idling at 32c apparently so 45 would be a significant jump. I also doubt that's what the temperature actually is seeing as the computer locks up. If it is even a temp problem... who knows. Seems limited to playing flash video though as it's never happened in a game.

    Streaming tv killed/is trying to kill my video cards

    Just happened again, wtf. Hope this isn't against the rules but if anyone else wants to see what watching a vid from here http://www.watchseries-online.com/ full screen does to their video card temps I'd be interested to know.

    Streaming tv killed/is trying to kill my video cards

    Last week I was watching a southpark episode from their site and my screen artifacted and locked the computer. It continued to do this while posting and the card is now pretty much dead. I got a replacement hd4850 this week and last night while watching streaming flash tv my monitor went into...

    Pretty sure my vid card just died, questoins about replacements and pcie 2.0?

    What is the difference between these two 5670 cards, looks like just the display port so that means one supports eyefinity while the other doesn't? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102870&cm_re=5670-_-14-102-870-_-Product...

    Pretty sure my vid card just died, questoins about replacements and pcie 2.0?

    Won't be playing any new games. As long as it can handle anything I was already playing on the x1950 and will be fine with 1080p movies.

    Pretty sure my vid card just died, questoins about replacements and pcie 2.0?

    Just tried baking the card twice, no difference. Still artifacting on boot. Swapped the broken card in to the family computer after the first pass through the oven and it was doing the same thing so I guess that it confirms just the video card is finished. Good to here pcie 2.0 isnt going to...

    Pretty sure my vid card just died, questoins about replacements and pcie 2.0?

    5770 is also quite a bit more expensive. I'm just looking for a replacement for the card I have around $100. I'm pretty sure the x1950gt was $150 or so a couple years ago so I was hoping cards in the $80 range would be better than it but that doesn't seem to be the case for all of them.

    Pretty sure my vid card just died, questoins about replacements and pcie 2.0?

    So last night my screen covered itself in artifacts and then windows shut my computer down with a bluescreen though I couldn't make out what it said. Restarting the computer showed the same artifacts plus random characters in different colours while booting up. I'm pretty sure that this is just...

    MW2 multiplayer question for those that have it

    Coming from mw1 on the pc to mw2 on the 360, I've gotta say the lag is pretty bad and noticeable even at the best of times. The most annoying thing ever is to have a guy run around a corner at you and the split second you see him you're dead. Then you watch the kill cam and see he had more than...

    So i got the samsung hard drive utility downloaded and ran it from a usb boot drive. The drive passed all the tests. And when I go under partion info there is a 1tb nonactive partition. The lba for the drive is set wrong currently. I don't see any options to make the partition active though...

    Need help recovering hard drive

    The cable connections are fine, and the drive is doing the exact same thing in the family computer as well, reporting as 32mb, so I'm doubting changing the cable locations is going to help. I'll try this other program next.
