If it's just a collection of the updates so far, why would there be so many issues with it?

Barely tolerable doing what?

Back to real Thinkpads... T420 specs.

A PCIe x16 slot is rated to deliver 75W. The review I read showed an overclocked one eating 90W.

Because you can never have too much RAM?

That depends on the OS you're installing. Windows 7 and Vista will align itself. XP does not so you'd want to partition it with something like a gparted LiveCD first.

How did you end up with so many of them?

It showed up around the time of Windows 95. You somehow missed it for the last 16 years. :poke:

Unless I missed something all drives will have at least some performance loss if the data isn't aligned. Why would the C300 be different?

Where's your backup? :rofl:

I believe it was overclocked when it drew more power than the PCIe x16 slot is spec'd to provide. That's why you read the spec on the card you buy before you buy it. Where's the difficulty there? :scratch: Mine is a 1GB GDDR5 version. link It would be the fact that the GeForce GT 440 works...

If you clone an image to it you need to make sure the partition is aligned.

Buying an Nvidia graphics card. They're not exactly on his approved hardware list. ;)

So I ordered a 1GB GDDR5 Nvidia GeForce GT 440 for my new Sandy Bridge build. I got it mostly for use with GDdecNV. I was going to my put 8600GT into the box, but with only 256MB of RAM I can only decode 1 HD video source at a time and the VP2 PureVideo processor isn't as fast as the VP3 or...

They are also a lot of uninformed people over there. :erm:

My first suggestion would be don't upgrade. My second suggestion would be to save $30 and get the Hyper 212+ instead. The H50 probably doesn't perform any better.

I would agree after reading the OEM specs.

That must have been a screamin' Windows 3.1 machine. :sunny:

Of course they won't be trouble free. They're both new and SandForce. That's 2 strikes already.

Being stupid enough to brag about it on the internet is priceless. Stealing from your employer is not.

What are you watching these things on? From your comment it sound like you're using a monitor. I suspect the key difference is the HDTVs sharpen the image and your monitor doesn't. Your video card is as good of scaler as what's in your TV. Recent Nvidia and ATI cards let you adjust the...

So, in case anyone was wondering, shipping a spindle of 25 discs in a padded envelope via SmartPost (FedEx + USPS) isn't such a great idea. Here's what came out of the package I received from Meritline. :bstd:

Sleep posting by the mooner?

As someone who found himself unemployed for almost 3 month this past summer by no fault of my own, this story made me cringe.

But, only if you wear a shirt. :errr:

That depends a lot on the technology the projector uses and the screen material. Sit too close and you can see the screen itself rather than the image projected on it. And, the interpixel spacing changes from projector to projector which you can also see.

Assuming you have 20/20 vision 1.54x the diagonal is supposed the proper seating distance to fully resolve 1920x1080.

They seem good. It took a while to find this, but apparently BD Rebuilder correlates to x264 like this: BD Rebuilder - x264 preset High Speed (BD-25) - superfast preset Good (Faster) - preset veryfast Better (Fast) - preset fast High Quality (Default) - preset medium Highest (Very Slow) -...

It turns out BD Rebuilder doesn't even use the slowest / most CPU intensive modes of the x264 encoder. Doing a manual encode with x264 outside of BD Rebuilder takes about 24 hours to complete both passes even on my Core i7-2600K at 4.2gHz when set to the highest quality settings. :eek: And...

Get a real HTPC, then you don't have problems with content providers getting pissy and blocking whatever box you're using because they don't like it (like Google TV, etc). This of course assumes you're trying to stream Hulu and the like from online content providers. If not, said boxes may be...

I agree, but I decided to not argue about the location of the TV.

You're attracting all the crazies. :bstd:

A Rolex?

How about tilting the TV down? :scratch:

That's only true for purchases made through ebay. If you use paypal outside of ebay the buyer basically has no recourse as long as you can prove you shipped them something and they received it. At least that's how it used to be.

Just take care of business before you take your daily shower and it pretty much takes care of itself. ;)

It all depends on the pressure, and I think people still wipe after. Never used one though. :scratch:

and Plotters...

I think you're forgetting about the fanfold using specials that were popular into the mid 90's.

:erm: If it's legit?... Are you serious?!?!? :scratch: The odds of it being legit are between slim and none, and slim left town a while ago. :tdown:

You can still put in remote start, but you'll have to bypass the clutch interlock, which isn't so dangerous if you're the only one who drives the car and always leaves it in neutral, but if someone leaves it in gear and you remote start it... Look out! :rofl:

Did they laugh at you twice?

The buttons on a Harmony will eventually go bad too. :cursin:

So you really meant the bathroom, not the toilet. :-P

You must have a really really cheap TV.

What's rule #2?

Yeah, because they don't make "laser" printer paper... Wait... what? :scratch:

:scratch: Well, as least I know it's not just me. Maybe on the left coast laser printers print on hopes and dreams, but where I am they need paper in the tray.

:erm: Yeah, you know the paper you put in a laser printer. :poke:

IOmeter works best on a unpartitioned drive. If it has a partition it will fill the drive with a file that is the size you specify and use that file as the location for the data it reads and writes to the drive.
