Well I contacted kingston about the situation. Turns out they don't support these modules on just about anything. To quote the rep: "Memory modules with a part number beginning with KHX are generic...

They're butt-ugly IMO :grin:

Today the memory I ordered for my laptop arrived. 4GB pc2-6400 CL4 from kingston. Just pop it in and have a nice day you say? Wrong!
I installed the sticks and whenever I try to boot I get BSODS. To...

I wouldn't quite see that happening over here in Belgium. Nearly everyone drives stick over here so I don't think a nine year old would be able to get very far :grin:

Seeing how you managed in the past, this shouldn't be a problem Scott ;) I'm quite confident you'll be doing more than alright with this new endeavor!

I might try that out, thanks for the suggestion!
Won't be using it as a primary drive on my laptop anymore though, ssd is already ordered (an OCZ agility 3, looked like a good buy if I remember the...

*Nevermind. Some switching around revealed one of the two sticks is as faulty as it gets.*

I've been experiencing problems with my laptop the last few days. Sudden bluescreens, restarts. Ran the...

Sure looks like a lot of fun!

If that's the case then I'd like to try some mining myself then... :grin:

Can you actually make any real money with it? I had a quick read on it a while ago, and from what I understood it's more like hoping you'll get something for it one day?

Same sexually frustrated reporter from that other article? :grin:
Some of the comments are hilarious as well..
Like this one:

Actually there was a belgian tv show called 'Basta' in which they recorded a bunch of these phonecalls etc. Quite funny really.
(They're the same people behind the video in which they block the...

It sure does. And so does this line in the article:
I bet there's a sexually frustrated reporter working there!

I'd never doubt a lawyer with a hotmail acount, that's for sure! :grin:

this one made me laugh :grin:

Sure it won't crap out again during the install of just about anything then? I'd suggest to wait a while before formatting your spare drive..

So a quirky drive after all.. Anyhow I'm glad you've got this one fixed ;-)

And Keith, do try to keep your finger from that caps key if I may say so..

Sure there aren't any windows drivers being changed when doing the SP2 install? (I'm not saying it does, but I imagine it's a possibility.) Did it have SP2 before this started happening?
Let us know...

I think I had something similar happen to my pc (the one I owned at the time that is) almost 10 years ago. Something went wrong during the installation of a game (threw me a blue screen during...

Have to agree with Blacksmith here. There's always something that can go wrong from the moment any machinery is involved. That being said, it's sad to see a father filming this (from multiple angles...

Actually, when plugging in those numbers I get 11.6 dollarcents/kWh which after conversion is 8 eurocent/kWh which is the exact same price as over here. I can't speak for the US, but you're on par...

Parody on Apple/Steve Jobs and politics. A bit old, but I hadn't seen it myself yet.

It sure does! This looks like one of of those things that could actually make it to the market AND sell..

Agreed with James, I'm a fan of the 'genre' as well :D
Thnx for the share Blacksmith!

Great pics Slugbug! The mountain view looks magnificent! I'd like to visit Australia myself one day..
That's some serious flying time you got there btw. I myself am going to the Dominican Republic...

Maybe they think your copy might be pirated when you're re-installing it more than they seem fit? (e.g. more than twice in 3 years or so.. Though I thought they used some sort of hardware key for...

Just guessing here, but seeing how it's sold in a 1kg tube (or atleast that's what that spec sheet said) I'd assume this is meant for OEM and probably performs average?

some specs:

or are you looking for someone who's had experience with this particular TC?

Thnx for the advice everyone! It's most probably going to be the asus board.
Only minus the board has is the PCIe x4 slot that only works in x4 mode by disabling a few other interfaces (eSATA, the...

Happy birthday you two! ;-)

I might be wrong here, but I thought igp and 'cpu' (ALU and FPU would be more accurate I suppose..) are independent overclocking wise? Or is that something I misread/misremember?

Not sure if it's going to be used much (I've read the quality is less than that of software conversion) but if I go the Z68 way I'll always have the option to. Is there any other reason to go P67...

Why would P67 offer an advantage over Z68 in that area? (Please do fill me in if I've overlooked something there!) I am planning to use an SSD as my primary drive for OS and applications. The intel...

Hi all,

I've been looking into putting a new system together and am a bit uncertain as to which motherboard to get. Currently these are looking interesting:

*Asus P8Z68-V PRO
*Asrock Z68...

The testify one made me laugh :grin:

Can this actually reach a height at which you can deploy a parachute?

Have a clue as to what part failed then?

Weird.. Wonder what could break on a torque convertor? Only thing I could imagine would be the freewheel clutch in there..

Nicely made.. I for one think there is indeed a serious chance there is (intelligent) life out there. Chances we will ever see or meet it are very very small though imho. I'd say we'd better focus on...

Mine is an iPhone 2G (not in the list so I put 3G :P)
iPhone's are overrated though..

ah, nice to see a nice idea implemented. Good work miles! (and the rest of the team too of course! ;))

The telescope and pyramid look kind of wrong in there, unless this were to be the city archimedes lived in (not sure he had a really early version or not) and then the pyramid would still be out of...

Thanx sbrehm! :)

This makes me think about a gameboy game I played when I was still very young, not a clue about what it was named though.

Heh, I finally went widescreen and well, it's indeed pretty good. Bought a Samsung SyncMaster 940BW
http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor/LCD_Digital/LS19HAWKBQXAA.asp
Mine's silver though.

god damnit, you beat me to it pym! :lol:

Looks like an RPG, a new Zelda game maybe?

That sure looks a lot like Operation Flashpoint.

no idea, but that actually looks pretty cool :)

driver?

I like yours sbrehm. Could you mail me a copy of it? :wink:

It looks a bit sci-fi as well. And I don't think civilization is sci-fi?

looks like some kind of strategy game along the lines of age of empires. No idea what game it actually is though.

hmmm, that's just plain weird?!

24 (the game)? Or is that an fps?

Good chance it is.

Well, is it an adventure game?

If it's not an adventure game than it's probably some kind of HL2/farcry mod.

Ding ding! Werty is correct!
The stage is yours :grin:


I think it's pretty good. I'm playing port royale 2 atm. Pretty good. You have to like the genre though.

Nope.
a bit more info: it's not that old, dates from 2003

Nope, sorry, it's not patrician. I think you guys are focusing to much on the "build" kind of games. You can build a few things in this game, but it's not the main part of it. Think more in the lines...

Well, it's a game that involves a lot of trading. But you can also take on missions to take out pirates etc.

nope


and nope :-D

nope :)

Here's a new one!
http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/5476/bjorn3dtr2.jpg

It's navy seals!

Judging from the screenshot it doesn't look all that bad. Guess the gameplay must really suck.

this is going to be a tough one I think. It's probably one of those low budget kinda games which they tend to throw away if they don't get sold right?

It somehow makes me think about prince of persia, but it prolly isn't right

Seems familiar, could it be an old nintendo game? Atleast that's where I think I played it on with my cousin. (argh, too bad I missed out on the commandos one, that one was so obvious :mrgreen:)

Oh, i think I know, it's one of the half-life mods or so. It comes with the half-life generation pack. Forgot how it's named though.

Those pixels nearly resemble boobs! :mrgreen: Made me think about tombraider but it sure as hell isn't that.

My thought too, but to be honest, I don't know much about amiga games, I probably wasn't even born yet.

judging by the screenshots you seem to be right :)
http://www.mobygames.com/game/crusader-no-regret

is it a sci-fi rts game?

Yup, that is correct! Saying that it was a vietnam game kind of gave it away eh :mrgreen:
It's the best vietnam game ever made IMHO (well, together with vietcong2 :mrgreen:). I played it for a long...

It is not exactly the same Kougar. And theres a lot of difference in gfx. I see another tip is appropriate. It is a vietnam war game.

Atleast give me a minute to upload them!

LOL, nope! ;-)
It's a few years old werty, probably a year or three ago.
Anyhow, here's a new screeny.
http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/4407/2va9.jpg
full screen:...

Nope, try again. If nobody finds it I'll post another screenshot tomorrow.

see my edited post above ;)
I posted that planning to edit it right away, however I got some ingame screenshots from the game which made me play it for half an hour again :D

HEHE, sorry for the delay guys, I knew I was right but I couldn't post a new riddle before zachig said it was right!
here's a new one! The white box I did so you couldn't read certain info ;)
...

it's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic!

I don't own one and IMHO i don't want one. I don't think computers are made to be used with a widescreen, widescreens are for watching television/movies and that's not exactly what I do with my rig....

I'd say a james bond game. Goldeneye?

LOL, why do all of these games make me think about prince of persia :grin:

Looks like some sort of prince of persia game

stargate SG1 the game?

i'm new too, but i'd be surprised if there hasn't been any thread about it on here before, after all, this was quite the discussion a year or two ago on many boards

hasn't that been done a lot already?

you can view source code with firefox too (i've been using it for over 2 years now and it's really good!) just right click and select view source code :)

i can recall IE crashing quite a few times before, so in my book i wouldn't call it reliable

i wouldn't quite call it reliable though, anyhow, the only place i really visit (hardware related that is) is madshrimps. I do read reviews n all from other sites, but i visit those by clicking the...
