    LED flashlights

    I have a little Gerber with one LED in it. Light output isn't amazing but it was about the smallest I could find that was extremely durable and took a standard AA. Have a really tiny one that has seven LEDs in it and throws a most respectable amount of light considering it runs off of a couple...

    Why is the site always slow?

    I'm getting it once and a while now too. Seemed to be the main forums like pub and computers but then one thread took like 30 seconds to come up too. Course now it is fast as ever.

    3TB hard drive from Seagate

    My home server is hitting 5.2TB, about 4.3TB is movies bluray and DVD. Rest is music, pictures, programs, desktop backups and other files. I'm using duplication on some select folders for a grand total of 11.4TB in use. For the super important stuff I only have a 400g USB drive I back up to...

    You know, there are some things you might not want to mess around with. Even if you do it right you still have to pass inspection some time later if you want to sell the house and then things get really sticky when they find out unlicensed labor did the work.

    Annoying, car symbols that don't follow general conventions. Trick question, is the wiper delay currently set for maximum delay or minimum delay? Think it was a saturn vue. There are just some surprises I don't need in a rental car while dark and raining.

    Hardware-assisted virtualization

    Nope, I missed the whole pentium using the i3 core now instead of the core 2 whatever. It really is confusing so I only focus on the parts that matter to me.

    Cheap, small, light netbook?

    Some netbooks like the dell minis come with the OS on a flash drive, hologram sticker on it and all.

    On second thought isn't that a rather huge architecture difference and speed increase for that $160?

    Hardware-assisted virtualization

    Found this page too: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9150 I remember vmware asking me to turn this feature on for my D630, as I had the feature I just turned it on rather than looking for a workaround. Dell defaulted that one to off for some reason. Would your daughter even use a VM?

    Intel smoke & mirrors

    Have you gone the extra step and looked at the price differences for these small features? I haven't. For the W3520 and I7 920 we are talking about maybe $20 difference for the same processor and to add ECC memory support. Until yesterday the same was pretty much true of the W3550 and the I7...

    3ware 9750 problems

    I agree, those aren't the drives you want to be using for this. Having to enable TLER and use wdidle3 should be a sign. Can you return or swap the drives? If you can't you might have better luck ditching that 3ware, converting to a soft RAID situation while using a AOC-SASLP-MV8 instead.

    3TB hard drive from Seagate

    Interesting, I forgot about the 2TB barrier. Looks like the whole enclosure is a failure on this though, heat and having the proper USB3 connector are kind of glaring problems.

    Sandy Bridge Preview

    Meh, trying to keep the same socket would stand in the way of progress. How could you move the GPU to the processor, add a bunch of power saving stuff and keep the same chipset/socket?

    Wanted:

    I went back to my slide and I was thinking of 2008 Express, the options to select version and enter a key are there but they are all grayed out as that installer is missing some stuff too I guess.

    Wanted:

    Doesn't the installer for Express give you the option to enter the key and turn it into the real thing? I could have sworn I saw the option in there when I was writing docs for that.

    Single or Dual Channel Memory on Mobile

    If there isn't going to be any upgrading I don't see why you wouldn't go with the dual. Heck I'm not sure why you would need more than 4gb in a laptop.

    quik i7 and memory question.

    Maybe I should have listened to time. I went with the stuff I listed primarily because of the SPD XMP support and the low voltage, the tall heatsinks aren't a problem at all. Worked fine when I had it on the test bench running memtest but now that I built the machine most of the time I have...

    What's the verdict on Windows 7?

    The default view for huge icons and text is annoying but easily fixed. Right click desktop and click personalize. On the left select display and change it from the default 125% to 100%. Text size is on the left but should be 100% after changing the display.

    Hard Freezes (No BSOD) - Not RAM, how to diagnose?

    What were you doing when it froze? Not always the same thing? Very general: reseat everything. While you are in there you could measure the DC volts AND AC ripple on the DC lines, you have to do this with the motherboard powered up so there is a minimum load on the PS so be careful.

    quik i7 and memory question.

    Time: Agree the heatsinks might get in the way of something, those would have been perfect if not for that. I don't get the quote you did for the speed support and their comment doesn't make sense either. Why would you need memory specked at a higher speed to be able to run at a lower speed...

    On a i7 965 EE intel says it supports memory DDR3-800/1066. Would I be wasting my money getting 1333 or 1600 memory? Not really familiar with the i7 platform, my first time building one. I plan to overclock a little but this is an unlocked processor so I plan to do it that way and leave the...
