Made the switch from nVidia to ATI recently. I'm very pleased.

Welcome to the club.

I just installed a 4890 to replace a 9600GT and now it blackscreens after a few minutes of gaming and the tray icons won't work. I've tried underclocking it, have all my other stuff at stock speeds and all, no dice. Gonna have to go through the huge pain in the ass that is uninstalling/reinstalling older drivers to find one that will work.

When I was on a P4, I installed a 9800 PRO to replace an MX440 and that started artifacting and died on me after a month or two.

ATI why do you hate me so much? ;_;

I like Foobar. http://www.foobar2000.org/

>>394
Like tracing?

>>396

>>397
Ah, I'm just messing with ya.
You know I love you man.

So much...

>>384

It'll be fine~

>>389
Thank you thank you thank you

If it weren't for /co/mrades like you, I don't know what I'd do!Here, have some Mrs. the monarch as thanks!

>>384
Unless your computer has 6 other SATA devices to power you're good to go. :P

PS. I just got the exact same hard drive, and it's awesome so far. Hard drive bros~

Might need a new battery.

Could be the hard drive. Also, is the back bowed out at all? I had a Zune die very suddenly in the space of day or two because the battery expanded and messed things up inside the case. I don't think they use the same battery, but they probably use a similar pouch style battery.

Did you try moving them back to the desktop? Are you trying to open them from word or by clicking on them?

>>369
have you tried opening them with different programs, like word or notepad?

also, have you tried e-mailing them to someone else and seeing if they could open it?

>>346
Thanks anyway. Does anyone know a DVD player that can advance frame by frame and take screenshots?

>>363
I can run ANY program, x84 and x64. Not sure why you aren't able to...

>>363

Windows Updates has fixed any problems with my stuff that wouldn't work in RC.

>>377
Then I probably fucked up when installing it.
Ah well, I'll get 7 eventually anyway.

Holy fuck. Forget the chlorophyll; if we can figure out how they're incorporating the DNA into their genomes this could jumpstart gene therapy.

Bumping with bitching article on the underdog avergae joes of synthetic biology:

Apparently this happened. Why did I just hear about it this week? We're talking about the possibility of life on Mars right now. Of course, there are non-living explanations for it, but still... I remember when people were skeptical that there was ever water on Mars, now it's not even news that there's methane there.

If this isn't lap-melting like every portable HP product I've tried, then this:

>I WANT THIS. I WANT IT SO BAD.

I WANT THIS TOO

efax.

Probably not unless you're still running on single core. Then the i3s/i5s are pretty good value (not more than AMD quads though I think). Unless you're a professional video editor or something, you don't need an i7.

Don't take my word at face value on i3/i5 vs AMDs yet though because I haven't seen benchmarks,

>>281
I found Tripper decodes per second.

>>331

Found a few tech site reviews, i5 generally perform a little better or about the same as the AMD quads in practical benchmarks, though it dominates in synthetic benchmarks. I think AMD holds on to it's status as best price/performance ratio. Some of their triple cores got pretty good performance in comparison as well, if you factor in the price.

I want that case made out of cardboard so I can watch it go up in flames.

No, I'm just wondering why a firkin case can cost anywhere over $200.

>>343

Metal/alloy used, compactness, ease of installation, airflow/watercooling accommodation, noise dampening, and of course aesthetics are all factors. All components create heat, even moreso if overclocking, and if this heat is left unchecked it reduces the overall lifespan of parts and may make some break immediately if bad enough. And you don't even have to be overclocking and/or using high performance parts to generate enough heat to do this, especially if you're using a poorly designed case. And when you consider the difference a good case makes in temperature and noise against the price of the parts in it, $200 doesn't seem so bad. For example, the the build I posted? The sum value of the internal parts which would be at risk of being rendered useless by overheating? $3975.69. I won't deny a large part of that is prestige and marketing but you get the idea.

tl;dr the same reason anyone with an appreciation of timepieces and clockwork will spend $200 on a pocketwatch instead of a $10 watch

PS it won't cut up your hands ;_; my blood and sweat is literally in my computer.

Get a simple wifi antenna, my computer came with one. Works nice.

The signal strength relies mostly on the router and settings and you can't do much about it unless you're the admin, as far as I know. If you want their signal range to reach farther, ask them to install a repeater in one of the outermost indoor areas.

I'm not very knowledgeable with networking though so you would probably be better off talking to your IT guy here.
