    Seperate hdd as pagefile?

    I do take offence, as someone who has spent the last 10 years on multiple hardware forums combining for more posts than could be possibly counted (easily 50,000)...YOU should know better than to judge someone's knowledge based on something as meaningless as post count. You fail to realize that...

    Logitech G9 Leaked

    Wow...it's amazing how many people who don't even have some kind of thought that this WILL NOT BE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! It's just showing off features. Once features are decided upon for the final version, they'll send it either to an in-house design team or a 3rd party company for aesthetics.

    Seperate hdd as pagefile?

    It's really not worth it to give the pagefile a dedicate drive. You'll never notice the difference in speed between what's paged and what's not. Just set your pagefile to a fixed value (initial size = max size) that's slightly bigger than you'll ever use. When I ran Windows, I used a 750mb...

    What can be causing hard drive data corruption?

    IMO it's likely the sata controller and/or it's drivers causing the problem. I had a big problem with this with my old Asus A7N8X Deluxe and it's SATA controller. If you have an onboard SATA controller, make sure your BIOS is up to date, and also make sure you have your drivers up to date - and...

    VGA RAMSINKS: Where do I get some??

    http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/Kustom_PCs_Shop_Memory_Heatsinks_18.html that's all I found in a 30 second google search ... doesn't look like the price is any better though.

    Logitech Introduces New MX Air Mouse

    Might be useful, but not for that price. If I had a setup where I would be using such a device, I would have it in a setup that was advanced enough to warrant an already $75+ Logitech universal remote.

    Incompatibility Between Firefox and Internet Explorer Causes Security Hole

    But if it's installed on Linux, where IE doesn't belong - then it has no problem :D

    EA Chief Says Games Boring People to Death

    Long games have a tendency to be repetitive though. Doom 3 is about as bad as it gets - 1) walk into room 2) lights go out 3) imp shreeks 4) lights come in and imp is directly in front of you

    Linux. Start here!

    If you can get passed the "Gentoo Politics" and the constant reminder that Gentoo is being held back because of it, then it's hard to beat Gentoo ;)

    EA Chief Says Games Boring People to Death

    Don't forget he should be slowing his latency to match mine too :D Calling using widescreen cheating is a little out of line. The game supports it for a reason. It exists for a reason. People use it for a reason. That reason is that it is a much more natural representation of an image. My...

    3GB of RAM: Is it worth it?

    Let's use a logical approach. How about actually monitoring your memory usage? Try to use what you think you'll use at most for a while, like running a few memory intensive apps idling while you're gaming (like you may actually do sometime) and if you get close to your current limit, then...

    Tv Tuners\SD setup Boxes

    No you wouldn't need an ATi video card...it's a seperate component. and you wouldn't be connecting the card to any kind of HD and/or cable box...as mentioned that card comes with an HD antenna, which picks up HD channels over the air. If you have no specific desire to watch HD programming...
