As of now I am using Fluke to import flac files into itunes. Works like a charm, except that you cannot add the files by folder, rather you have to add them by right clicking on each file or files and opening them with Fluke.
Does anyone know a quick way (or have a script) to import flac files...
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit the other day and to my surprise, @ start up the system is using 950mb of ram! I have heard somethings about disabling readyboost ( which I am not sure is actually a good idea) to free up the memory. So is it normal for Windows 7 to use this much...
I am buying a mac in the very very near future and trying to decide between the 1999 and 1699 models. The mac is going to be used for parallels (windows xp/7) for work applications (programming, W2k3 server VMs), every day word internet applications, web based programming, low key strategy and...
Been out of the game for awhile, but i just upgraded to Windows 7 so I am looking to add more RAM. Currently I have 2 1gb ddr667 sticks of ram. My motherboard has 4 slots, each support dual channel configurations, so I am wondering if I were to add 2 2gb ddr800 if I would be taking a...
I bought this system in December so it is just over 6 months old. They are in perfect condition and will include the original box and original wires. I will also include an optical cable (minitoslink/miniplug for x-fi users). I have no need for the volume this system outputs in my current...
First problem is when I go to start the game it says I need opengl 1.3 or up. I am using the latest nvidia drivers, so I used rivatuner to manual select the opengl version to 1.3. Now when I go to play I get about 20fps. That obviously cannot be right! Crysis runs better than this game...
Just put together a new rig w/ fresh install of windows xp sp2. Fired up 3dmark06 to test my new 8800 GT and I get a whopping 4856. All the demos run at about 6-17 fps, sometimes as low as 0! I am using the newest

I recently just bought a the mx revolution which comes with a usb receiver, however my keyboard also has a usb docking station receiver. Do I still need to use that receiver or should the new usb receiver pick up the keyboard as well?
I don't need wi-fi or extra media crap, I just need a PS3. Is the PS3 20gb still worth purchasing even though it is discontinued? Does it have HDMI support? Is it still under warranty? Will sony release add-ons, ect that don't work with the 20gb model?
I just want to know if I should have...

If I overclock my CPU over 200 fsb (usually happens around 204-206) I get a very high pitched buzzing/distortion from my speakers when the computer boots into windows. I will then have to lower FSB back and remove the sound card and reinsert it for it to work correctly...

My setup is in my rig and I am using an Antec 430w true power. I am wondering if that is enough? My computer boots and seems to be running games well, I am just curious if my PSU could be bottle knecking my rig at all?

I have a geforce 6800gt and it idles around 64-68c but when I play a game and put it under full load it can get up to 90-110c depending on the game. Half-Life 2 episode one can drive it up to 110c sometimes. This is extremely high.
The ambient temp of my computer at idle is 38c and under...
All of a sudden my case temp is around 57c and my cpu temp is 37c. It used to be 37c cpu and 30c case. I have no idea what happened. But, everything inside the case is burning hot. All I have done is added another 512mb of ram and put in a amd 64 3700+. Everything was fine when I first...
