    (4890 && SSD) || (5870)

    I'm putting my tax return and good credit to use and taking Newegg up on their 12 months interest free financing. I find myself pondering two different i7 builds. One with an SSD and 4890 and the other with a 5870. I'm looking for thoughts and perspectives I haven't had. I'm really looking...

    Out of touch, need build advice ($1,500)

    Thanks, OEM is the term I'm used to hearing. Triple Channel vs. Dual Channel is understandable. I'm interested in thoughts on RAM amounts. I tend to do a lot of multi-tasking. Think several office applications open, plus photo editing. 6 gigs sufficient? I hate that slow down you tend do...

    Out of touch, need build advice ($1,500)

    You guys rock. I love this advice. A couple of questions. 1) What does "bare drive" mean? I've seen it describing a few different hard drives. 2) I've noticed no one has recommended over 4 gigs of ram with the Phenom. Any reason? 3) Also, are SSDs really that big of a performance boost for...

    Out of touch, need build advice ($1,500)

    I've long since hung up my hobbyist spurs, and don't really know where to get started in peicing out a new PC. I would appreciate any insight and help those more in the know can offer (that would be you reading this). 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing...

    Graphic card lineage

    That would be incredibly useful here. I've long since gotten out of practice of knowing every card that's been released and their relative performance gains. It's a bit daunting after 3 years to try and figure out "okay just what is better than my current graphics card, aside from the $500...

    Graphic card lineage

    The 'ol memory has more important things to worry about these days ;) I actually found most of the information I was looking for on Wikipedia, but figured I'd leave this open in case anyone had neat information.

    Graphic card lineage

    Anyone know of a source outlining the lineage of graphics cards? I'm looking for both Nvidia and ATI, preferably performance based instead of time based since companies often release their high end cards before their middle of the road/budget line. much appreciated!

    ECS KN1 SLI Extreme will not power on for ~30 minutes

    It could be a power supply issue, but all of the board LEDs are lighting up when I plug the system in. Unfortunately I don't have a spare power supply, I only have the one. It's up and working now. I may just avoid turning it off. Luckily the little lady is a gamer herself, so she can...

    ECS KN1 SLI Extreme will not power on for ~30 minutes

    I'm not even sure where to begin with this problem. I've noticed recently that my PC will not power on until it's been plugged in for a while. It sounds crazy, but that's the best I can tell. After setting it up, I do everything in my power to make it turn on. After getting thoroughly...

    annoying excel function

    Thanks, but I abandoned it. I'm not sure I should praise the person that wrote it as a genius or completely retarded. I'm writing a visual basic script to do what I want using excel. Make it more robust and more updatable, but thanks for your help.

    annoying excel function

    it wasn't HIS sheet to begin with. I equate it to writing terribly unmanagable, undocumented, and generally piss poor code. Unacceptable. or better yet, writing a class and then somehow hiding the header file so that no one can find the thing that makes it work. Just genreally bad practice.

    annoying excel function

    unfortunately "calculations" isn't the name of a sheet in this file. So that theory, while a good one, doesn't seem to work out here. edit: EUREKA! the idiot HID the sheet called calculations.

    annoying excel function

    I'm trying to reverse engineer a former employees work to figure out what exactly he was doing to make an outdated tool up to date. I keep running across this type of function reference =IF(calculations!B2,"",calculations!G2) now I know what the IF does, but it's the "calculations!B2"...

    Trying to avoid 240 queries, combinations and math fun

    I'm not trying to make an all powerful system here folks, it's just a fun little toy. As for why the data is not qutie there....well because we've only been keeping track for 2 weeks. Jon leaves work at around 3:30 so we can't play in the afternoons like we used to. We have a keg at work and a...

    Trying to avoid 240 queries, combinations and math fun

    a few posts up I explained in greater detail. The front end is here: http://www.hciunderground.com/pool.php It's going to be expanded greatly as time goes on to allow for "custom" queries to be run by the user (they select the combinations, then we return the results). this is just been...

    excuse me? You asked me to type more, I replied that I had already typed more. You replied AGAIN that I needed to type more at which time it became MORE than clear that you hadn't read the post where I VERY clearly stated all of this. Yet you are calling ME a douchebag? Grow up kid.

    multiline text in tab controls VB .Net 2003

    What I am trying to do is figure out how to make the text on a tab word wrap so it isn't taking up so much horizontal spacing. See the picture below for what I mean, you'll notice that I increased the size of the tabs in hopes that when I set the width of the tab it would automatically wrap...

    Problem with CSS based drop down lists

    For those that are concerned thanks, I'm well aware that some browsers do a shitty shitty job of supporting css so the site will be equpped to handle. For now the menu items will be links to small pages that pretty much give the same options as the drop down menus will, eventually I'll be...

    Best way of learning database design?

    honestly database design is one of those things I think is hard to teach yourself. Coding isn't so bad because you have examples. Unless you are lucky enough to find someoen's project and get infer what they are doing you are kind of lost. I would suggest hitting up amazon and looking for a...
