Yeah, right:roll::roll::roll: That was a good laugh:roll::roll::roll::roll:

I don't know how to. besides, it's too late since i uninstalled it. But what about the SiS chipset? Or the GPUs? I searched around and found out that a "regular" (128bit) x1700 is better than a hd3470(64bit), but my x1700 is 64bit also, so that should reduce the gap between them.

Hi. My mom just bought a new Asus x59sl laptop with the following specs: Core2Duo T5450 @ 1.66 ghz 2 GB RAM( single DIMM) Mobility Radeon HD3470(64 bits, 256 MB VRAM) 160 GB HDD My own laptop is an older packard bell model: Core2Duo T5500 @ 1.66 ghz 2 GB RAM (dual channel) MR...

Is it only making that sound when idle? If yes, that's normal. Alot of laptop drives do that. Basically, the drives parks the heads so that they don't damage the platters in case of shock and to preserve power. Mine did that too, but i now have hd tune running in the background(it acceses the...

Look at the jumpers. Some drives have a jumper that limits their capacity to 20-30 GB so you can use them in older OSes like Windows 98 which cannot work with very big drives due to FAT32 limtations. Removing that jumper should fix it.

This is the diagnostics of my external seagate baracuda 3.5" 7200.10 250 gb HDD. I use this for backup. Is it bad? And this is the diagnostic for the 100 GB 5400rpm seagate momentus in my laptop. It's almost 2 yrs old and has similar values, but nothing is highlighted. why?

I have an Optiarc(i think it's a joint-venture between Sony and NEC) in my laptop. It's 2 years old now and is great. It's a little noisy, but not that bad. My old desktop has a TEAC drive that's now 4 years old. Also working like a charm.

Syberia (mostly the track in Valadilene), but all were beautiful. And so was Syberia 2. But IMHO they all pale when compared to Dreafall: TLJ. The hospital room at the beginning and end of the game was very impressive and touching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYnX7k8vzdo Faith's...

ALL chips are affected, since they're basically the same. Laptop GPUs are more affected because they have to go through more temperature variations, and that's what kills nvidia chips.

I just looked at the furmark homepage and the app is just 1.4 MB. sorry if i sound stupid, but ca a tyni program like this really stress a GPU more than, say Crysis or 3dmark06 and fry it? And can't artifacts appear because of bugs in the program? For example, when i play mass effect on my...

Did you know.................. that a virus can copy itself to your DVD burner's buffer:eek: And evade any antivirus and then copy istelf back to the HDD, while overcharging the drive's motor causing CDs to explode and posibly shred any living thing within 10 metres? The solution? GET A...

My laptop's ram (2x1GB DDR2 667) is made by kningston with elpida chips

Finally some good news from AMD. Unfortunately there are alot of intel fanboys around there. for example, there's a guy in my class that thinks his gma950 beats my radeon x1700 in gaming just because its intel, and mine's ati/amd.

Ok,thats good to know, thanks for the replies. Altough i noticed that it vibrates more when its vertical than when its horizontal. Maybe because it has some rubber feet on its side but the stand doesn't. And while we're at it, do you have any idea how i can read the HDDs SMART? I tried...

HI. I have a 3.5'' 250gb seagate 7200.10 hdd in a vantec nextar 3 enclosure. Is it OK if i store and use the drive vertically? will it shortent its lifespan?? I have all my data on it so if it dies it would be a disaster Thanks in advance
