All i was saying is you Shouldn't pull the cmos battery out. It's inexpensive and easily replaceable but you should be shorting the battery properly via the jumpers Not via flicking the battery out again. The point is that if you static the battery, but don't completely kill it, you will...

The UK Government is thinking of introducing new laws for DNA testing & storage for new born babies. The idea behind the plans is for every new born baby to have their DNA tested & stored, the intention is that for future generations this would make crime investigation & the justice system...

I completely agree with you JimBowen, my original post was deliberately vague with the intention of provoking a range of thoughts. I believe the justice system in the UK needs to seriously sort it's self out, at the moment someone will get 7-8 years for murder, and yet someone will be given 25...

At the end of the day you want to go for the best all round performer, which essentially is AMD, it maybe slower at video editing or 3D Autocad, but it's only by a few milliseconds or 1 second at most! - nothing you're really going to notice. And if Photoshop or other programs are optimised...

First off i personally wouldn't run Norton Internet Security & Sygate Personal Firewall together.. what a waste of resources! - Sygate will do a better job than Norton Internet Security will do, and with better utilisation of system resources. Windows as far as i know automatically...

The problem you have is that different components are more sensitive to static than others, for instance when ever i am making hardware changes or checks i always touch the case before hand, but other than that both hands are inside on the components.. I've never had any components go faulty...

Just do add, i don't see why this was moved into the "War Zone", this is not a rant or an arguement, it's general conversation & debate. There's a difference. perhaps we should have a debate forum for things like this?

Or perhaps not an answer, but a tederant. I don't think that there is anyway or answer to solving and stopping this crime, but perhaps i think the death penalty should be served in this case as a deterant for those thinking likewise.

Now it's always one of the biggest of debates, at the moment in the UK there is only one act of crime that "can" result in the death penalty and that's high treason. Of course when it comes down to it, it would never actually come to the death penalty, unless perhaps it was a member of the...

Other than the incredibly bad service created by organised crime within the Royal Mail, it is owned and run as part of the government, hence it will always run as even if it is dirt poor the government will always pay the wages / maintenance needed. This you see then allows the Royal Mail to...

All i can say is 2 things: 1. It was probably never sent by the ebayer. 2. Why bother using RoyalMail, i always tell sellers or whoever to use CityLink or TNT. - Just as cheap.

For all those interested in any of the stuff i have listed here, i have put it up for sale as one big bundle on ebay. This is a legitimate link to my auction on ebay so don't worry: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6836396882&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

I have moved this thread into the Overclocking & Cooling forum as that is what this is about. Also, before posting try reading the sticky's :) they usually help, check out the post i made: http://www.hardwareforums.com/how-overlock-ongoing-tutorial-9373/

For god sake what ever you do don't do this, the CMOS battery on your motherboard is extremely sensitive to static, you shouldn't be doing this. As if you static your CMOS battery and try to start your computer with a bad battery you may cause damage to your motherboard or other components...

Standby or Hibernation will not allow downloading. In both states, your system basically just saves your data, and all the programs that are open.. then when u come out of hibernation of standby your computer will reopen the applications via the memory/hdd to that of which they were when u...

What powersupply are you running, that system specification you are running is a very power hungry system, and if you're not running a powersupply good enough you will be experiencing problems. For a system like that i would be looking at 550-600W if not 600W or more from the likes of these...

Yeh but the earlier Pentium 4 Northwoods are fantastic overclockers, my brother has a 1.7Ghz P4 and i've overclocked it stable to 2.5GHz with no voltage increase and not much heat increase. With regards to what BigB was talking about i read an article and watched a video on the net about some...

If you are getting errors you are NOT stable at 2.8Ghz. you should lower your overclock so that you get NO errors, a stable overclock is 24 hours with no errors on prime95. Otherwise you will eventually damage your cpu.

i was running: AMD64 3200+ 90nm OEM + Artic Freezer 64 HSF 2 x 512MB Crucial Ballistix PC4000 (heatsinks) 2 x 80mm Silent Vantec fans @ 2200RPM @ 24CFM at the front 2 x 120MM Silent Vantec fans @ 1800RPM @ 28CFM at the back a ThermalRight 480W Silent PSU with 2 x 120MM silent...

my last 64bit machine was overclocked by 800Mhz (2.0Ghz - 2.8Ghz) and i was running @ 33-38C with 18-21db. ask anyone around here whos the "silent cooling" fanatic, and ull get my name as an answer hehe :)
