Problem burning in Vista... settings, hardware, conflict?

I've tried both ways... was trying the "Live File System" more, but have tried both... right now I'm trying to burn a 150mb file as "Mastered" and it really, really just doesn't seem like the info is getting to the cdrom. On this one I chose to try 8x (drive is 40x) and the light on the...

Why the aweful colors on motherboards?

"For myself, here's an ideal board: Black - you know it adds 2% performance just from color alone - with black EVERYTHING. I'm talking PCI slots and PCIe/AGP slot, and RAM slots. That's good for another 1% performance gain." agreed..... that would be my idea.... but black with midnight...

Why the aweful colors on motherboards?

Don't get me wrong. I was really glad when motherboards when from green to other colors. Though I'm not a big fan of red, my MSI looks pretty nice in red. I know Soyo had some black and silver motherboards even. My question is more about the pink, purple, yellow, periwinkle, etc, etc you...

set a default webpage for ALL USERS?

Am I wrong in thinking that there is a default web home page set in the registry that could be changed so that all users start with that. (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Main, Default_page_url = ???) Dell sets it up so that Dell.com is the default setting on anyone that uses the...

Umm.... that will only change the setting for the user I'm logged on to, right? lansalot - unfortunately I do not know what you're talking about by Active Directory domain controller. I'm not much of an IT guy, our IT guys are on the main campus (we're just a branch)..... I'm just...

set a default webpage for ALL USERS?

Dell machines running WinXP. Basically all the computers have Dell as the default webpage on all users, but we'd like to change this to make the school's homepage the default. I have no idea on how to do this where it will apply to all users. Thanks for any possible suggestions and LMK if...

BH5 & UTT on SAME MOBO?

the 1a4t don't overclock like the aa4t...... you're looking at 215-225 on the 1a4t from what I've seen (admittedly not much) while you can expect over 250 with the aa4t chips...... maybe try testing the 1a4t out and if it happens to pull a big OC pair it up with the aa4t and try it..... I...

Why is the BFG 6800GT oc so expensive?

*** edit I think it's a PNY at CompUSA also*** they have penny shipping even..... sadly I'd have to pay tax, which would be around $25 :( Still not a bad deal.... -Hex..

which 6800gt has the best memory.... best overall overclock?

thanks for the replies..... I actually would probably not OC a GT if I get one. I've been considering a 6800nu for the longest and would want to overclock it..... so I have overclocking on the brain. with a gt I wouldn't worry about it. Honestly, with a 6800nu I probably would not have to...

which 6800gt has the best memory.... best overall overclock?

so it is a complete crapshoot? no brand of card has had more success? I have a hard time believing that is completely true. DO they all even have 1.6ns RAM? Like I said... I'm not demanding that I buy one and have it run at ultra speeds, but I'd like to figure out which card might have a...

which 6800gt has the best memory.... best overall overclock?

but is the BFG usually a good overclocker? I could always get a new cooler, that's not THE main concern, but I do want a card that is considered a good overclocker. If I don't reach ultra speeds it's OK, but I would at least like the best shot at it. Thanks, -Hex..

which 6800gt has the best memory.... best overall overclock?

Do any of the GTs have 1.6ns memory on them? I love BFG's warranty, but I've read that their dual fan heat sinks aren't so good. I also wasn't sure about the component quality of BFG vs anyone else. I'd like 1.6ns ram if possible, and just look for cards that have had good luck overclocking...

Who's your favorite female singer

don't worry Chaotic.... I don't seem to like female singers either.... I'll watch a lot of Shania, Jessica Simpson, etc, etc videos... but I just don't tend to like any female artist enough to really consider buying their cds. Of course I like alt rock/modern rock mostly.... so the...

*VIDEO* Amazing CG Movie, check this out...

Watched the movie today at work..... knocked my socks off. I agree that it's kinda odd since the game graphics aren't even similar to the movie graphics.... but then again, Blizzard has always had great CG movies no matter what their graphics for the game look like. I have always looked...
