the thing was, nothing was taking up the cpu time.. i could stare at the processes all day and nothing was standing out. i just underclocked it a little... 1.35ghz instead of 1.5 like its been for 2 or 3 years and its running fine now... i read somewhere when you oc these tualatins after a...

i have ad-aware, spysweeper, microsoft anti-spyware beta, and trend-micro's anti-spyware stuff...

a few months ago my computer started randomly doing this crap. after about a month it went away and its back again.. i can have absolutely nothing running, and it will still look like this. cpu usage goes from 2% to 86% and in doing so "freezes" everything for a split second. this wouldnt...

learn to read jackass, i already corrected my mistake, something like 10 posts before yours:

rofl you guys just dont know www.delcity.net ~50 cents for a 4ft stick, depending on the size you want..

god damn it i figured you meant 7,100 gflops instead of 7.1, and had a typo or something but then i read the page and it says 3.2, and wher ethe fuck did you get 7.1 from anyway? that piece of crap is from 1996 back when pentium 133s were king

dude, WHAT THE FUCK are you talking about? DUAL P4 = 7,139 MILLION FLOATING OPERATIONS PER SECOND CRAY = 7,100 BILLION FLOATING OPERATIONS PER SECOND billion > million

the highest intel in sisoft sandra is: intel pentium 4-C (2 SMT) 3.2ghz 512 L2 7139MFLOPS

sorry, but no. your analogy doesnt work. they didnt accidentally enter the coupon into the system, and then it wasnt accidentally verified by 5+ people, and it wasnt accidentally accepted by the computer. and my order wasnt accidentally packed by the person in the warehouse after looking at my...

i'm typing this reply to you on my logitech MX Duo, that I got for $12.41 after rebate. i win!!

how do you mistakenly authorize a coupon like that? its not like the computer just pulls a figure out of its ass and goes 'hey staples, we should make a $50 off $50 coupon' someone entered this coupon into staples system, no one was holding a gun to their heads. if this was too good to...

btw they never called ME. they have called others. 1 of my friends got the call, after the package was already delivered. once again, they dropped the ball. its ours now

obviously you dont understand something, let me explain it for you in 10 year old terms: 1. they offered the coupon 2. they accepted the coupon 3. they CONFIRMED THE CHARGES. 4. they shipped the item 5. then they "realized they made a mistake" 6. they charged me A SECOND TIME...

friend of mine called up visa.. Coppell Police: that bitch was like man they smokin krack Coppell Police: lol Coppell Police: visa customer service RoXoRs Coppell Police: she said that i would first have to call staples and they HAVE to honor the deal Coppell Police: and if they do that...

anyone getting screwed from this deal: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19021&page=32&pp=15 call visa or whatever your bank / cc company is and tell them. this apparently is called a "chargeback" and visa is going to put the screws to staples.

if i dont get the deal, fine. they need to cancel it though, like they did the geforce 4 for $10 that didnt go through a few months ago i'm mad that they would try to pull some bullshit on people saying "oh well if you accept the shipment then we're gonna charge you full price, kthxbye"...

Hey guys.. this information could be useful to anyone else that got in on the april 1st staples $50 off $50 deal.. almost all orders shipped for the discounted price. now staples, which i will never shop at again after this bullshit, is now doing something which i think is ILLEGAL. they...

got it! :D

i guess newegg's $75.00 price (no tax) and free fedex saver shipping wasnt good enough for you. huh? better get that reciept ready!

dont list this stuff: Caller ID, 3-way calling, Voicemail, Call forwarding Free Nationwide Roaming Free Nationwide Long Distance as "Free" because 99.9% of carriers give you that for no charge anyway. it would be like being excited because your brand new corvette came with tires!!!

yeah, 49.99 is a great price for the 80gb, considering i bought that hd like 6 months ago for 59.99 after MIR.... and last week my gf bought a 120gb 8mb drive for 49.99... kinda weak.

can someone tell me how the fuck i can use this in the store? i called up there making sure they werent going to bullshit me and say they wont accept the coupon code(cause its like 15 mins away), because apparently you cant do instore pickup... and no one in the whole store knows if/how they...

thanks again dude... went to local OM (mesquite tx) 15 mins before close on 2/1 and picked up the last 120gb hd and 256mb ddr stick they had.. my gf's new computer is going to be oh so sweet. i am so jealous :(

wow, that was real smart of you. no one forced you to buy fucking mcdonalds food, if you found out there was no 50 nuggets deal then you could have just WALKED OUT. walking in mcdonalds does not commit you to a purchase. so go ahead, be mad and annoyed at yourself.

umm.. lets see. how about DARK MEAT. :rolleyes:

dunno where else to put it up.. so here goes. you guys who order full systems from newegg with the fedex saver shipping.. they dont leave that shit outside if you're not home do they? the fedex hub is like 10 mins away so its not a big deal for me to go pick it up later if i was to miss...

dust is mostly made up of dead skin cells so buy some lotion and change the air filter on your HVAC unit in your house.. get one of those 3m hepa filters. :D maybe try a room sized air purifier.

hook everything up first, turn it on. go into the bios and detect the hd if it doesnt do it automatically.. then make sure its set to boot from CD just to save a couple secs.. put the xp cd in and reboot that hoe. i think you can figure it out from there..

Hahah man you need to teach her the ways. My gf isnt into the technical aspects of computers but shit... she knows her way around windows and the internet as well as I do.

whatever you do, dont cut the blue wire.

oops, i read that wrong. it extends the warranty 1 year past the original warranty, which is still pretty good for.. $15!! "Extend my Standard Warranty on the above qualified items: $15.06" and yeah, about the HSF, i was just going to stop by frys and grab a vantec aeroflow, i think...

yeah.. i mean.. rebates and all.. i have a TON of trouble with rebates.. dont know why. since tomorrow is sunday we'll see about any deals in the morning paper before going through with this.. so i guess we arent going to order it tonight. everything else look good? :) btw the reason for...

Hey guys, I asked you all to help me spec out a budget computer for my girlfriend awhile back... i saved the wish list and we're going to order it tonight.. if everything is still a good deal. Its been maybe 2 months so maybe there's something new I dont know about that you guys do.. i dont...

i made one of these threads awhile back and it got deleted? oh well i havent bought any rebate stuff cause i got FUCKED last time i bought stuff, from pretty much every company.. there was a imation 100pk $20- 20mir got that.. the old WD 80gb 8mb cache fry's deal for like $70 after...

bahahah "**THIS OFFER CANNOT BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER COUPON OFFERS**" they caught on to you guys!

OH MY GOD thank you for saying that. i dont know what site it was.. but they did a comparo on all the cards.. sandisk cards were the slowest almost every time.

really? thats too bad. ok, survey says, dont ship anything fragile! ever!

i really meant the size and complexity of the hubs.. fedex may do more business,and im sure they do internationally.. but hell, if i miss a drop from a fed ex shipment i can drive to the local hub, which is in a tiny building, roughly 1/4th the size of the UPS building i work in.. anyway...

DONT FUCKING DO IT I work there If a little bump here and there will destroy your computer.. simple DONT FUCKING DO IT you can be as careful as possible, but the package still has to ride on the belt system, and it will get bumped and jarred. as the old thread said, he went from...
