Reply to Broadband Ram Question. in PC Hardware JoeUser Forums

Z71, I'm coming in late in the game, but I've followed this thread for a bit now. I'm going to be honest with you here, you need to clean out the heatsink and fan (HSF) assembly. It's no big deal. Simply crack your case, and remove ONLY the fan from atop the heatsink. Clean all the crap out of both the fan itself as well as the heatsink with a can of compressed air and a soft bristle brush. Put the fan back on, and your heating issues will be over. As far

To this end, I’d like to find out a bit more information. I’m not asking for addresses or for any personal information, just the town or closest major city and the state or territory where you all live. I live in the city of Citrus Heights, which lies within the central valley of northern California. Basically its a newer city branched off of Sac

Reply to Flip3D - Windows Vista's new task changinger in Avalon JoeUser Forums

For those of you running Windows XP, you can still enjoy this feature without springing for Vista. It's a nice little app called TopDesk v1.4.2 by Otaku Software. You can see some of what is said about it here> Windows Flip 3D For Windows XP? And here is what TopDesk looks like: I feel its a bit more than Flip 3D, and for $14.95, a pretty darn

Kind of sad, IMHO, as I'm sure more and more creators will be lured to the profit side with less and less quality material available for free. I dunno, I kinda feel these guys deserve it.

I lost myself several times as well San Cho. There were some really cool parts that I liked. If I swallowed it in pieces it was very interesting, but I failed to connect it in its entirety I have never read anything like that. I think FS hit it on the nose, "that is a great outline of what could be a really great Fantasy" I liked the Turtle most, and I liked what you did

Vista Flip 3D For Windows XP? in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

No not really Flip 3D, but rather the product TopDesk developed by Otaku Software. It seems to me that Microsoft is so bent on enticing people into the next generation of Windows, Windows Vista, that they may have forgot all of us faithful Windows XP users. So much of the newer features and products, such as Flip 3D, are being packaged strictly f

The number seems reasonable to me MM. The elderly and the very young are very suseptable to death from the flu either because their bodies just can keep up with the severity of a virus, or their immune systems are simply not yet equiped to handle such an assult. Virri are very deadly, and they, believe it or not, are very adaptable. The US spends an awful lot of money each year coming up with a new flu shot. Some people go and get

Wrong answer! Only 40% of eligible voters actually voted. 40% is not a majority of the voters. Sorry Dr. M, but i did not say the majority of eligible voters, I said the voters . Thats the people that voted . Thats how it happened. I simply can't see it any other way.

UFO: Unidentified Flying Object. I figure that since I cannot identify everything I see flying, I suppose I have to believe in UFOs.

Well, considering that most strobe lights contain xenon gas, which we did not invent, well who is to say that some other entity could not utilize xenon gas in a similar fashion. If it doest have wings, how does it fly in our atmosphe
