    TigerDirect.com Hot Deals 9/07 - 9/09

    I bought the Galaxy 460 card on 9/1 after it was advertised here as coming with Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2. It came with Just Cause 2 but did not come with Mafia 2. On 9/3 I sent an email to friends@help.tigerdirect.com as had been recommended on this forum previously. I still have not gotten...

    Low framerates in WOW with Nvidia Geforce 285

    You are playing on a machine that is almost identical to mine. My first question would be are you on Vista, and if yes, is Aero on? My machine ran fantastic full screen, but I would often play 2 sessions at the same time and would window them in Vista Ultimate x64 with Aero on and they played...

    Absurd: Anand overclocks conroe to 4+ GHZ easily on air

    Actually if you were to try to go to FX-62 you would have to do the same thing. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Weblets/0,,7832_8366_609,00.html FX-62 is AM2 only so you would still be buying motherboard and RAM (based on your sig.) Brian Taylor

    Keep getting viruses before I can update xp

    And he is going to have to connect it to get the AV, or possibly update the AV. I presume his problem is that he is getting viruses that automatically infect without user interaction, like RPC exploits. The windows firewall will safely protect him from anything that would be able to install...

    HardOCP Eval - BFG GeForce™ 7800 GT OC™ with Water Block

    Doesn't apply directly to this article, but I have been a BFG fan and currently own a BFG 7800GT, a BFG 6800GT PCIe, and a BFG 6800GT AGP. When I bought my 7800GT recently I was annoyed by the noise of the stock fan, as both of my 6800GT's have NV Silencers on them. I thought that I had better...

    EVGA 7800GT $50 cardpool rebate promo! Starts 10/1

    I bought a BFG 7800GT OC last week from Dell for about $440 and am looking to change to an EVGA. Just for everyones info both offer a lifetime warranty but when I contacted BFG via email they said that putting an NV Silencer on it would void the warranty. I called EVGA and their rep said that...

    HOT Inspiron 1200 1.4ghz, 256mb, 40GB, DVD/CDRW $399

    Coupon code wipes out the instant $50 off, so its really $449 before shipping. However, Dell had a new shipping deal where you go pick it up at the post office and shipping is free. I bought one and overall the total was $474 after adding 1 year of warranty. Brian Taylor

    AD End User Issue

    Also take a look at this. The ACL for the location of your redirected folders has to be set up very specifically in order for it to work right. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/274443/ Brian Taylor

    What is MAC addressing and is it a good idea?

    Every ethernet network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. It is 12 bytes long and expressed in hex. The first 6 characters are the manufacturer ID, and the last 6 characters is the host ID. No 2 devices are ever supposed to have the same MAC address. What you are...

    VNC Help

    But if you have moved the cable from the SpeedStream from the WAN side to the LAN side of the Netgear you have eliminated the double-NAT and now all you have do is port forward in the SpeedStream to the machines. When you do this there is no reason to port forward on the Netgear. Brian Taylor

    Simple networking question (I hope)

    All the machines need is a protocol that both have. TCP/IP is always there obviously, so nothing else is needed. Brian Taylor
