    MSI Z77A-GD55 LGA 1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I've researched the SLI PCIe port speed issue a bit more, and as far I can deduct from PCI Express 2.0 vs 3.0 GPU Gaming Performance Review & Ivy Bridge PCI-Express Scaling with HD 7970 and GTX 680 the bandwidth doesn't saturate even with the newest highend GFX in Tri-SLI. So I'm gonna go...

    MSI Z77A-GD55 LGA 1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Hi, I've read the [H] review and numerous other reviews of the G55 & G65, but I've been unable to determine if the performance is degraded by the port speed decrease from 1x PCIe 3.0/16x to 2x PCIe 3.0/8x in 2x SLI mode? :confused: Because the specifications state source But the msi...

    XML file batch proccessing...

    I tried that and it doesn't work because %%a is a string like "C:\yadayada\thefilename.xml" and maybe there's where my problem lies. Since the string that contains the path + filename is absolut. And I must reuse the filename, since that's hardcoded for use elsewhere in the program that uses...

    Hi guys I'm trying to convert the contents of some folders using windows batch: FOR /R %%a in (XML-test-filer\*.xml) do CALL C:\FLPR\AltovaXML -xslt2 2.2mapping.xsl -in "%%a" -out "%%a_2.2.xml" as you can see my clumsy attempt only gives the new files a slightly different name. But I...

    Destroy your PC and receive $1000 from StarForce

    MS Windows has a built in ability to have a "Filter Driver" installed for a optical drive so a process can monitor (and possible control) IO for the drive. It's used by some CopyControl systems, more specific the ones who can be disabled by disabling autorun. MS Windows IFS Kit I for one...

    New cell phone supports Java -- would like to program

    BillLeeLee is right about the security certificates, that can be tricky. Look into NetBeans and their NetBeans Mobility Pack. That will give you a better start off, than I had with J2ME :) -E

    Using a USB thumb drive in linux, how to "reinitialize"?

    Since the release of Windows XP your allowed to "yank out" the USB memory stick unless its busy with IO since MS changed the way Windows handles USB memory sticks, also I think this way is more intuitive as a user (I know this is harder on the drive, but not having the data on it when you take...

    New nForce 6.70 drivers

    Well spotted Ruffy, it looks like the PCI express MB don't have a GART driver(checked the nvidia nforce4 drivers section). Only MB with AGP need the GART driver, and if you installed a video driver(the install will detect the GART driver) it will then it depend on the GART driver and will fail...

    New nForce 6.70 drivers

    You are correct sir, if you uninstall the MB drivers you will also remove the AGP driver and then the video drivers will fail to load on startup. So uninstalling videodrivers is a good idea when upgrading MB drivers. And a FYI to those who think that the folder created byt the install...

    Blocking programs with windows firewall.

    The Windows SP2 firewall can only block programs that try to listen on a port, any program that just makes a connection out is allowed(an example, your antivirus update etc.). To get the functionality you seek you need to try another firewall like ZoneAlarm -E

    Ping and IPCop

    The shaper in IPcop doesn't work by magic :) You need to specify the available bandwidth, but not exactly 100% since that doesn't gives the shaper any workroom. Most people are happy with 80-90% of the bandwidth specified in the shaper. Example: Syncron 2Mbit/s line. In the shaper...

    Best way to monitor borgs ?

    Hmm, enabling access to windows shares directly to the internet sounds like a very bad idea. Since those services responsible if not patched up, are prone to many attacks. And then no amount of A/V or firewall on the machine are gonna help you. If you really need the stats so bad, why not...
