I'm looking to buy one of these, and i have a question. Will the drive be auto-partitioned to use 4K sectors under Vista SP2?

She's using IE8 with the latest updates, and still got hit. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3, and have not been hit.

Edit: It seems to have destroyed IE8 entirely.

I'm going to buy a PS for my dad's PC, and I stumbled upon this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151055 It's got an 80 Plus certification, but I've never heard of it before. The PC it would be going in won't draw more than 100 watts at max. Is this a decent PS for a web brow...

I get the feeling that newer games should make more use of SLI, so the SLI performace gap between it and a single card should continue to grow. Right? Or not? It's not possible for a game to make more use of SLI, as it's basically a hack. >.> SLI has the ability to use two or three different render...

I have a question about the media center PC. Does the motherboard have the Phantom TLB patch automatically applied? If it does, you should have endPCnoise remove the Phantoms from the list, as the patch lowers performance to lower than Athlon 64 X2 levels!

The new 45 nm quad cores have been delayed by a few months. I think March/April is the current release date, so to speak.

I've got about a 1,000 dollar limit, and I'm already at 900 or so, hence the reusing of an old case and the somewhat old(It actually came out in July, IIRC) CPU. However, given the new CPUs coming out next month, there's probably going to be a hell of a lot of price cuts. The motherboard I have sele...

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

I'm reusing an old eMachines case that doesn't suck. Its' airflow is pretty decent as far as I can tell. It's a fucking beauty to work in too. Here's a link: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-detailsInactive.asp?Sku=E400-W2646%20OO I'm not using anything else from that system o...

I've been reading customer reviews of some of the recommended fans listed on the SPCR site at newegg, and people are talking about putting 6-8 Scythe S-Flex SFF21Es in their PC. This strikes me as overboard, to say the least. This is the PC I'm building: http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/wishlist/...

I suppose that I'm blind. Sorry, people. >.<

I looked those up and they don't seem to be as efficient. Did I find bad information or something?

I looked at the review for it here and it's just amazing. However, it's not at the usual places I go to, and I have little knowledge of reputable dealers on the internet. >.<

Actually, this one's more expensive. The one I had originally selected was an open box special, only 113 bucks. Damn good price for any 8600 GTS! I do plan on trying the rebate, but I doubt it will work. Never had good experience with rebates in the past... In the end, a totally silent PC isn't nece...

Hmm... I was unable to find any info on the video card using google(I really, truely suck at search engines. I do not know why.). The main reason I choose it is the price. I'll most likely replace it. I'm not buying the system for a few months(Just gathering data and and selecting parts beforehand),...

We're broke right now, sadly. We'll probably replace it as soon as we got the cash.

Thanks!

Well, that's why I'm asking. I took a look at its' specs before I ever selected it. I learned a bit more about PSUs then got scared.

I have no problem spending more at all. if the PSU isn't worth a damn, I'll toss it right away, but I have no idea what it's worth.

This is the PSU I plan on getting: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817171028 Its' specifications seem nice, but I'm unable to find a review for it online. So, I'm feeling rather unsure as to whether or not it's worth a crap. I've all three of my previous PSUs fry on me, and I do...

Man, I am jealous. The chair I got right now hurts me and my mother after a period of use(I can use it for 2-3 hours without pain, my mom can only last 30 minutes). No one likes the dammed thing.

We're currently thinking up ways to kill it. It has resisted all of our efforts so far.
