For extensions to work in minefield do this.
Type about:config into your address bar> click i'll be careful> search for "extensions.checkCompatibility"> set it to false> Restart Firefox.

Chrome, I like it because it leaves a lot of room for the page and seems faster than FireFox, Opera, Safari, or IE8.
I'm moving into Minefield for Runescape, because it runs Javascript faster than FireFox, and Chrome is lacking when it comes to Java.
Why would you need a browser to run Javascript at all to play runescape?
Personally I use the current version of Firefox with several adddons.
A lot of people get Java and Javascript confused.

I'm using Firefox beta nightly tester edition (3.1b2pre), which is called Minefield. It is very stable. I have the version check off so all my extensions work too.
It's way faster than the current version of Firefox. It scores a 92 on Acid3 as of a few minutes ago (tested by me).

I use AVG 7.5 Free Edition. It works very well for me, includes email scanner and more. User interface is very simple and friendly. You can also tell it if you want it to scan fast(more comp usage needed) or slower.
Its been great for me.
I use AVG Free also. It's very good. Although I use 8.0 which is better than the 7.5 your using :P . Upgrade, it's free.
Well, what slymongoose said in another topic is right for AVG, it's not as good as it used to be, in fact, it's almost as bad as Norton and McAfee now.
Well you can take out much of the bloat if you install with the custom option. I take out the link scanner, the email/outlook addon and stuff.

Here's a (server) motherboard for Urbestfriend and his maxing ram lol - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813151162
... :shock: ...... =P~ =P~
16 ram slots...and its $450...Gentlemen, I believe I need new pants.
That's nothing, they've got servers over at some high end graphics places that'll beat the crap out of any of those.
I was looking at screenshots, think 64 core processers and 2 terabytes (Yes, terabytes) of ram. I don't even remember how many petabites the hard drives were. Anyway, vista will run fine on any of them, probably faster then XP would anyway.
That means the processors are 128 bit and the OS is 128bit?
Has to be. If your paying that much for a computer you can afford some good software development to use that power.
Fastest super computer has 103TiB of memory.

Another thing about Windows 7 is that finally the kernel will be built from the ground up using MiniWin technology. Making the kernels codebase much smaller and a lot faster. I personally can't wait as I have been fed up of Windows 2nd hand code lurking around.
The Kernel is not supposed to be built from the ground up with miniwin. That was a rumor well over a year ago. The kernel is supposed to be cleaned up, but not built from the ground up. Windows 7 is being built upon Vista. One goal of Microsoft is to be able to boot Windows in 30secs with a dual core and 2GBs of ram.
Miniwin is going to be used for another Microsoft product, atleast that is what Microsoft said a while ago.
If you guys are hoping for huge improvements from Vista, don't count on them. Vista was the huge improvement version, but all the propaganda hate blinded everybody.
I have been testing out Windows 7 M3 (milestone 3) in a virtual machine, it doesn't seem that different, but it is faster.

Alway double check the mounting posts when fitting a motherboard, a misplaced post can scrape or short a track.
A more basic one, it is better not to use USB powered fans, cleaners, lights, aquariums, cup warmers, chargers etc. as many of them do not comply with USB specifications and may draw more power than is safely available from the port.
You can draw more power than spec safely. The only thing that would happen is that it would not work if there wasn't enough power. If the device runs over the power spec, always plug it into the computer directly or by a powered (getting power from the wall) usb hub.

Try Raid 1 VelociRaptors or a SSD, And SLI GTX 280's. :twisted:
RAID 1 isn't going to get any speed improvement though. I rather have RAID 0+1, all the speed of 0 but with data security of 1.
I'll take 4 SSDs in RAID 0+1 anyday.

Well if it's one beep repeating it would be something with the ram.
What's the ram set up your trying to do? (putting x2 512MB stick in slots 1&3 ect.)

If you're standing on a carpet (why not just sit on a chair?), don't move your feet (especially while wearing socks) or you'll touch your motherboard/RAM and fry it.
If your standing on a carpet and opening a computer, get off the carpet. Even if you stand perfectly still there's still a chance of getting static build up and frying something, all that risk can be avoided by not being on a carpet.
-
Another thing, I know both companies make their own externals (MyBook & FreeAgent), am I better off buying the enclosure/drive separately or just buy the pre-made ones?
Pre-made would be fine.

I would keep away from sound blaster cards. There drivers suck. Horrible linux support too. I personally have a Extreme Gamer Sound Blaster and would never buy another creative for the lack of support and care of there customers. I once heard that the way creative designs there cards it makes it hard to make drivers for. Whether that is true or not is beyond me but would not surprise me.
Nah, Creative doesn't design their cards that drivers are hard to make, they just suck at making them :thumbdown: . If the OP wants a good gaming sound card, get something from ASUS with a pci-e x1 interface. If not, use the onbaord.

Planning to buy a harddrive to use in an external drive, which one is preferred?
I prefer Segate but it doesn't matter. They are both good brands. Get whatever is cheaper/more storage for the price.

Think again, DVD. And read the comic in its entirety.
Any chance you found the bloody menu bar, then? :roll: ... Seeing some of the other posts since yours, I really doubt that Google is going to be getting into things any time soon. -.- ... BTW, pardon me being a pessimist. I just feel like this is going to die like other hypeware. :|

It looks like Google is getting into the web browser market right now. For a beta release, this is fully capable competing with Firefox and IE. Remember, this browser is less than a day old, it can only get better. When developers start making addons, the browser is going to eat away at Firefox's market share fast. Especially that Chrome has a faster rendering engine (webkit).
A lot more average people know what Google is than Firefox, all Google has to do is have a blurb on their homepage and a lot of curious IE folks will give it a try and some may use it as their default.
Why do you need to find the menu bar anyway? The two icons on the right hand side are all you really need.

It's pretty amazing. I really like the layout, and it's quite fast.
I wonder.. will their new Java engine, V8, speed up Runescape much? has anyone tested it? :shock:
V8 engine is for javascript, not Java. Java is completely independent of javascript.
I tried this out and it seems reliable and fast. It should be more standards compliant than FF3 because it's using the Webkit engine. Acid3 test is running really slow so I can't test this out atm.
I didn't like that the interface isn't too customizable. A big turn off is no addons, but this will change when it's more than a day old.
Is there an about:config section in chrome like there is in Firefox?

That message is just a warning Spybot put in because ad-aware could detect the spyware that you moved to quarantine on Spybot. I currently use both with no problems.

Looks like you will need a sort of adapter, something similar to this i think
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817707092
there are also single HD bays but i cant seem to find em.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817193022
Cheaper and I doubt his laptop has ESATA to use that one anyway.

Foxmark- this can synchronize your bookmarks between multiples computers. This is my favorite addon. This can also be used as a backup of your bookmarks because they are saved on the foxmark server.
Bugmenot - right click on a login form and it will log you into a username. This is very useful for site that require you to registry to view the content, such as news websites.
download helper - can download flash videos in webpages, great for youtube.

I think the warranty is out, I've had it for over a year, and my brother had it before me for basically since it came out. I am gonna see how it works for a few days before I think about sending it in.
If it is the 3 red rings you have a 3 year warranty for that problem. It's a 1 year for everything else.

That beep code means bad ram. I say exchange it.
-
If the computer will not boot with just that stick that's causing problems, it sound's like it's bad. Have you tried this stick in a different memory slot by itself?
Do you have the latest motherboard bios?
Do you get any beeps when you start the computer with 8GBs? (or with that bad stick only)
If you do need to return the memory you should be able to just send any of the other 3 back. The only difference would be the week numbers between the two packages but I don't think they wouldn't issue an exchange based on that.

The airport extreme router at $180 is massivly overprised for what your get.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6833127215
This router has everything the apple one does including gigabit lan, wireless N, and a usb port for your printer (it comes in white like the apple one if your into that sort of thing). It's also $80 cheaper.
Now if you don't need gigabit lan and a usb port you can get a D-link wireless N router for about $50 now.

I am going to reinstall vista on my computer and planning to format c drive, but for firefox, i have this list of bookmarks that i can't manually take down. Anyone know where these bookmarks are stored on the disc so i can just move it to my D drive?
Hi there, superaymond. I dunno what the rest of these people are thinking, giving you the bloody runaround. However, I've dropped in with the answer you need (and want) to have so that you can do exactly what you wish. You'll find your bookmarks file located within...
C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
...and it will be named "bookmarks.html", making it extremely easy to find. BTW, those items in italics are reference names, meant to be replaced with the appropriate folder names. I'll leave it to you to fill those in for yourself, seeing as I can't see your folder tree. 8-)

How are we giving him the run around when me and Sloter gave easier (and correct) answers to his problem.
Your the one giving him the run around because appdata is a hidden folder so unless he has the option to show hidden folders (which by default people don't have on) your more complicated solution is no good.
A sub $400 computer that you can game on?

Why Windows XP? You can get Vista Home Premium for $99 on Newegg. There's no reason for an average computer user to put XP on a new computer over Vista. Especially when that computer is DX10 compatible with 4GB of ram.
