The best way is to look at the spec sheet and see if shielding is listed as a feature. Also read reviews and see if anybody has complained about bad or no shielding with the particular speaker model you are considering. The two models of speakers I have recommended above are shielded, and...

They aren't insulated, and it would be way too much effort to retrofit. If I was you, I'd be careful to get an insulated set when you choose your replacements. I've really enjoyed both my Bose Companion 3 and Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, and would wholeheartedly recommend either for a 2.1 PC sound...

Looks like you're using Gnome. Nautilus is the default file manager in Gnome -- is nautilus installed?

192.168.x.x are RFC 1918 addresses, meaning they are private only, and are not used on the internet. This is the local connection between your PC and your router. If that's the case, it's definitely not your ISP. The NIC could be a problem, but I've also seen problems like this on Vista clients...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available The brand-spanking-new 2.6.32 is built and syncing to kernel.hardwareforums.com. It's a new stable branch, meaning there are a lot of changes, new features, and lots more supported hardware. There are some significant performance improvements with the new scheduler...

Yes, except that I'm overriding the build flags with my build scripts. I've changed it in the defaults though so if anybody chooses to re-use my kernel configs, it will be the option that makes more sense for performance. Do you mean it doesn't fully boot? In that case you may have compiled...

To be honest it sounds like your technical issue may be with more than just port forwarding. We'll need to know a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish and what you're working with. Please be as specific as possible, and we'll do our best to assist. Thanks. :)

I smoke American Spirits and Lucky Strikes, but both are hard to come by. If neither are available, I'll go for Winstons since they don't have additives and taste OK. After smoking 'good' cigarettes like Spirits for a while, you can really taste the tar and bullshit in typical smokes like Camels...

To be honest with you, generic PSUs are more or less worthless; you can't trust them to reliably output even 1/3 of the power they're rated for in some cases. Also, unless they catch fire, PSUs don't usually give a clear indication of their failure except symptoms like the ones you're...

Have you tried running Memtest86+ overnight? Have you sniffed around the mobo for bad caps?

Hmm, the RAM timings being different may cause problems for you. For timings, you'll have to make sure you're using the lowest common denominator of the two sticks. If this is being automatically set by the BIOS, it is sometimes helpful to have the one with the loosest timing in the 1st slot of...

Which OS exactly?

Yeah, it's more like 65.52.0.0/14 though. I dropped it on the firewall for a few hours last night, but since they're at it again it looks like a permanent block is called for. It'd be different if we had a flat website, but most things hosted here are php doing database queries on the back...

400 watts may not be enough juice... can you list your system specs please?

Apparently MSNBOT no longer pays any attention to robots.txt. Sniper had set the connection limit for msnbot to once every 2 minutes. Instead, it was making hundreds of connections per second, which severely bogged down the server. I've dropped their IP block for the time being, but if you...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available Good morning campers. It's new kernel time! 2.6.31.6 is built and syncing to kernel.hardwareforums.com. This build has a heft dose of bugfixes, including patches for a few security issues. As such, it is recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. Get it...

I would buy another stick of the same part # so that you will avoid problems with voltage and timings. Otherwise, if you can get a good deal, get a dual-channel pair and replace the old stick altogether.

I was basing the ~430 watts on the new video card, not the existing one. I always recommend over-spec'ing the PSU by a hundred watts or so in the interest of long-term system stability. UMAX is extremely cheap and generic and should be replaced. That's the situation with most PSUs that ship with...

Try these: # Add lots more TCP buffer space for high-latency connections net.core.wmem_max = 12582912 net.core.rmem_max = 12582912 net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 10240 87380 12582912 net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 10240 87380 12582912 # An option to enlarge the transfer window net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling =...

Definately replace the VIA 4-in-1 drivers with the latest, reinstall DirectX, and install the latest ATI drivers before you bother with the northbridge. I suspect the problem is software-related. About monitoring the mobo temps in Windows... I've been out of the Windows scene for many years...
