Same hereSome people have managed to stay away from it.. like me... i'm just too lazy to re-learn all the new extensions etc. lmao
I'm thinking of dual booting though
-
I would go for the 150gb raptors instead of the 74s. They aren't too much more expensive for double the size. I just got one for $200 at best buy.

Just download Hijackthis here, do a scan, post your log in the hijackthis forum and someone will help you.

Clicked and bookmarked

This is almost definitely malware. Hijackthis forums are the best place to go.

Me too. Frees up valuable USB ports.

If you want to stay under $250 you probably want to get a Pentium 4 CPU. I would recommend a Prescott socket 775. However if you want to go cheaper, and faster at that price range I would recommend AMD.

Nice parts. Wanna trade your comp for mine?
-
I think there is no difference

Memtest is best when done for hours and hours. I would recommend doing it overnight

Overclocking is impossible on a Dell. Dell doesn't offer the options in the BIOS that you need to overclock. The last thing they want is people burning out their PCs from overclocking and returning them

:bad:

Could you post your test results?

The average PC buyer doesn't know anything about what they are getting. They get what they see advertised or they get the brand they used before.

I found this at PC World. Firefox 3 should be coming out later this year.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,129437-page,1/article.htmlIf the Firefox browser were a car, it would be in the garage right now being souped up by an anxious group of gear heads.
When Firefox 3.0 is released later this year, the open-source browser is likely to contain a host of new features, including offline support for Web applications and new bookmark and search features. Mozilla released the second alpha version of Firefox 3.0 earlier this month.
While the final feature set hasn't been determined, Firefox 3.0 will also contain elements for its 4.0 release and beyond, said Mike Schroepfer, vice president for engineering for Mozilla Corp., during a stop in London on Tuesday. The browser is due out in the second half of the year.
"What we're trying to do with all of these things is lay the foundation," Schroepfer said.
Perhaps most exciting could be Firefox's ability to support writing an e-mail in, for example, Gmail while offline, with the data sent later when a user is connected to the Internet again. Ultimately, Mozilla engineers are aiming for an integration between the browser and Web-based services that is as smooth running as a desktop application, Schroepfer said.
So far, engineers have made Firefox work with Zimbra, an open-source e-mail, messaging and VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) application. With a bit of code from Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp., it would be possible to integrate with Gmail and Hotmail and other e-mail services.
To do offline support, engineers have overcome the hurdle of how to store data locally on the computer, Schroepfer said. The feature will make it into Firefox 3.0, although the user interface is still under development, he said.
Other changes could come to "bookmarks" and "history," two features that have seen relatively little innovation, he said. Mozilla would like to create a function where bookmarks could be automatically sorted based on popularity and frequency rather than the static presentation now.
Firefox 3.0 will also have a small, embedded database -- SQL Lite -- that will eventually be used for full-text indexing of the browser's "history." Users could search for images and text and see the cached page. The feature, however, may not make it into the 3.0 release, he said.
"The advantage of the database is that we can search your cache," Schroepfer said.
Most importantly, Firefox has to be fast and standards compliant, he said. Some users have complained about Firefox sucking up processing power because of add-ons or extensions, a popular aspect of Firefox where small programs can be downloaded and used into the browser to add new functions.
But extensions sometimes tax system resources, in part because it's often part-time hobbyists doing the coding, Schroepfer said.
Mozilla will soon set up a shared library of tested code that extension writers can download and use, Schroepfer said. Mozilla also relaunched its extension site, cutting back on the number of extensions listed so first-time users don't overload their browsers and dampen their experience.
In a few weeks, discussion forums will also be set up for developers to exchange feedback, since code writers sometimes don't know of the problems, he said.
Firefox 4.0 will support the JavaScript 2 language, now under development in part by Mozilla's Chief Technology Officer Brendan Eich and the ECMA International standards body, Schroepfer said. The idea behind the JavaScript revamp is to make high-performance Web applications easier to write and assemble for people with less coding expertise, he said.
"It's less about making it possible and more about making it easy," Schroepfer said.

On ebay you can get them for 99cents and less than $3 shipping.

I have been using Comodo for a couple of months now and it works great for me. I would recommend it over Zone AlarmWhat about a firewall though. What's good and not a system speed killer. i read a bit about Comodo as being quite good.

I'm sure someone here can help you. There are a lot of helpful people on this site.

Why?Use this short cut
at your peril...

You could burn out the motors in fans if you let air spin them

Nice

WOW
I don't know much about AMD, but you might have fried your CPU at that temp. That would be 230 degrees fahrenheit. You could seriously cook a meal on that. My P4 presscott has only made it up to 80. My first guess is that you have a damaged temperature sensor thast is giving very high readings. If your temp sensor is fine then it is probably your heatsink is on wrong. I couldn't help you much with that on a laptop but I'm sure someone else here can

I had the same problem with a PSU before. Go to http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp and plug in your system to see how powerful of a PSU you need
