    Windows 8 Boots 55.26% Faster Than Windows 7

    It may be faster to boot, but once you're in it's going to be 2-4x longer to do anything because of the way they reorganized things. If they don't put back the option to enable the Start Menu it's going to turn into Vista 2.0 and make Win7 the son of XP for longevity.

    Active Directory problem

    Doing some testing on some software, I set the "Must use smartcard for interactive logon" attribute on my account to enabled. Did the required testing and then unchecked the box. I'm not unable to authenticate against OWA or any of our web services. Any ideas as to why this seems to be stuck...

    A8N-E won't startup, no display

    A8N-E won't startup, no display

    Yep, think so. Both master on separate channels and it's been fine from the the build. May go back to cable select and see if that makes a difference.

    A8N-E won't startup, no display

    Ok, too strange. Finally got to start seriously troubleshooting. First thing was disconnect the IDE cables and try to start it up....fired right up. So even though they weren't powered the DVD drives were somehow locking the system up... thanks for the help Richard

    A8N-E won't startup, no display

    No, but it's a brand new Thermaltake unit. It was nicely on spec when I first installed it. System has been in the new case for the last two weeks.

    Who has the fastest net connection?

    They keep upping the speed. Quite happy with it for C$37/month. They've got a 10 and 16meg service now available but it's $70/$100, can't quite justify it. Trying hard too though :p

    Last gasp AGP upgrade

    NewEgg is great but they still won't ship up to Canada for some reason. So I guess go with the 850 since it's got 16 pipelines instead of the 12 in the 800XL
