hmmm, not impressed either. In fact, most of the innovative tech has been lifted off of OS X. (he says, while ejecting his floppy from his WinXP PC) What would be nice is to have OS X run on X86 machines, now that would push gates to sell his OS for $99.

Reply to Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployed in only 25% of corporate PCs in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

To imporve on security, XP2 had a lot of drastic changes to NTFS. One of the most obvious was setting cluster sizes. With XP & SP1, users and admins could get drives initialized with a wide range of cluster sizes, now they are limited to one size fits all. In effect, if you drive had differetn cluster size, your machine would not boot after the update. This is only one issue. Another is the fact that many corporate environments run other networ

Reply to Windows out of Desktop in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I think you need to work this out with your graphic driver's control panel. you seem to have a larger virtual desktop than your monitor's real-eastate. Also, i also believe that your graphic control panel will have an option to snap windows within the visible area.

Reply to Which LCD Do I Buy? in Monitors WinCustomize Forums

A cost effective 1600x1200 LCD will most likely sacrifice on the response rate (above 12ms) and/or the brightness and contrast ratio (below 250cd/m2 and 500/1 respectively). I woud strongly recommend a dual display solution (2x17" or 2x19") for same/lower budget (i.e $800), if your Graphics card supports it 1. You get 2x 1280x1024 = 2560x1024!! 2. Benq has one of these that does 8ms response! <a href="http://www.newegg.com/app/Vie

While aufisch's caution is appreciated, some of the info is outdated. You can now certainly upgrade notebook graphics and as surprising as this might sound, it is actually pretty simple for the average person. Again, you will need to check with your notebook manufacturer if it voids your warranty. As you can see from this link, this is how it is done here Link <BR

Reply to Need help with a possible Motherboard problem in Hard Drives WinCustomize Forums

JustJane, Your issue can be resolved in two easy steps. You need a 7-port POWERED USB2 Hub. Belkin has a pretty decent one that has 5 in the back and two on top (for those thumb/jump drives). Next: If you can maneuver around your bios, do this: Diable the two serial ports, they are using resources that you dont need and perhaps even the parallel port (if no printer is attached to it). Plug all your devices into the hub and watch ev

Alright, Alright, i've observing this thread for a while now (5 min or so) and I can say this: There are two pizzas: The Italian Original: Thin, simple, usually with capers, Anchovies and hot olive oil. This one is for the connaisseurs. The Greek Sub Pizza: Greesy, made with Chedar and olives. SPrinkle Crushed Chilly pepper on it. It's for the masses. I say both should be rated fairly...especially ...oh what the @#$%. WHo are you, what

I have been observing the last two threads of ratings abuse with interest. JM Phoon summarises well...

Reply to Dell, Gateway, or HP? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

When you buy from the big boys (GW, Dell...), you get the benefit of volume discount on OEM parts and thin margins (again, volume) I build a machine a week and i know that no matter how low the price of the part is (even OEM), it will never be lower than what these guys get it. Having said that, you will also never know what the exact parts they put into those machines are. Yes, it a 80 GB HD, yes, perhaps it's 7200 RPM (some dont specify), bu

Reply to Video Card + Power Supply Question in PC Hardware WinCustomize Forums

Cheaper power supplier crank out much lower wattage (than rated) when the heat within their circuits builds up. A cheap 350w PS becomes a 250w PS 30 minutes after powering up. Hence the recomendation for a 300w Min. Your PS (if from Compaq) should operate as rated. The 5200 is better than the 4600 from a power consumption angle (it consumes less power) and that it supports more DirectX 9 features. The latest nVidia drivers (66.93) requ
