  2. well I've just tried Kerio and it has all the same stuff my Norton Internet Security 2003 had and it uses less resources. Glad you said something about it Dragon cause Keio kicks the crap out of Zone Alarm. It doesn't bug the crap out of me when I try to open up internet accessing program's (games). I like to have never have gotten Day of Defeat: Source workin with zone alarm. Norton would just minmize games to tell me but when zone alarm did it it would go all screwy and would half way try to minimzie. The bubble in the corner of the screen would be there but not visable. I found it when the
  3. try removing all things that deal with iTunes. I had to completely remove everything once to for a reinstall of Firefox to work properly again. I mean crap hidden in the system DEEP!
  4. yes Norton and McAffee are both resource hogs. I usually had 550-650 MB of my 1024 free until I completely uninstalled norton. It boosted to 720 or so.
  5. woah hold up. I've used PC133 RAM in PC100 slots just fine. I've even used PC 133 in PC 66 slots and it worked fine. It just didn't recognize all 64MB. I tonly saw 32MB. It was a 233MHz K6.
  6. goths....................................non-conformists just a side note, the "non-conformists" at my school that want to be different make up about a third of the school. So we have a paradox and/or a hipocracy.
  7. I may have to try that Kerio. Zone Alarm is kind of annoying. Like Norton annoying only norton was actually easier to configure for me. But lord knows I ain't spendin money on that crap again. If I can get the same protection for free from other people why friggin pay for it. Thanks AVG Free Edition for saving my computer from 2 extremly malicious viruses attacking at the same time. Norton was the first thing to die. Zone alarm is replacing my software firewall for now, but if Kerio does better I'll use it. Ya know ever since I got a router though I haven't recieved anywhere near as many warni
  8. My CD player (and most modern ones) supports MP3. I put about 80hrs worth on a CD-RW and change the music on it when I get tired of what I have put on it. Aslo, davisbaumung, what kind of CD player or radio are you trying to do this with. Is it possibe to get a link to what you have in a store or manufacturer site. If it is a factory radio, I definately suggest getting a new one unless the car is brand freakin new.
  9. 1988 here. (18th B-day sneakin up in less than a month) man can't imagine bein my bro when He was this age .............6 years ago. a Pentium III and an nVidia TNT2 the best you could get. The original Half-Life and Counter-Strike being pinnacles of gaming excellence. Oh man. Having a Gateway with a Pentium III and 64MB of PC133 with Windows Me with a Riva TNT2 Vanta in a UT Dorm. (Shivers). Glad I'm startin college at a local Community college (my bro had 1 semester at UT Knoxville then came home to go to the community college, then off to MTSU for a few years), and building a brand new syst
  10. DIY Oil Colled PC (Tom's Hardware Guide)
  11. many newer cd players have inputs on them usually on the back of all places. I think my Pioneer Premier does. Trygoing to an electronics store like Circuit City or Best Buy and ask about this.
  12. I enjoy Winamp on my bedroom PC. Organizes by artist album and what not. Pretty cool.
  13. radio..................................radio waves that is
  14. pleasure........................ couldn't help it
  15. they sell testers from super cheap that just tell you if it is operating correctly to mega expensive (Pro) which tells you voltage and ampage or what not. What brnad is your PSU (Aspire right?) and what wattage (500W right?). If so I think tht might be enough. And you are talkin Dual GeForce 7600GT's in SLI right? bout time you came to the light side of nVidia. And also does your Mobo even support SLI? If so ......WHY DID YOU BUY AN ATI CARD? (never have understood why so many people bought SLI boards then got an ATI card)
  16. a cheaper solution in multiple respects would just be to shut it down at night. no sound, no electricity being used. If you absolutely needed to replace i'd get a Forton. Otherwise leave it alone. I haven't heard anything about aspire being bad. I've heard Antecs are good, but Forton for anything would be my pick. In fact when I rebuild my system into an Aspire X-Plorer case I'm gettin a Forton PSU cause the case doesn't come with one. I just about can't stand my current ase any longer. It's fallin apart. The PSU that came with i is alright though. I have another use for it somewheres else.
  17. THG Germany did it, but they suggest using motor oil cause it cools better. They used vegetable oil though cause it's clearer, and maybe cheaper. I'm not if it is cheaper. still it is HARD to do. Caulk and plexiglass, (you don't have to use plexiglass but still), you have to change the oil every so often. Talkin to your friends " Hey I gotta run, Need to change the oil in my computer."
  18. why not use passive liquid cooling like the case being completely filled with vegetable oil or motor oil. Yes you can do that, I have a video of it. I'll never do that due to the time, money, effort, skill, and patience involved.
  19. about Kenmore and whirlpool. This is my dad's philosophy. Whirlpool is good and so are others but if you put the Kenmore name on it, it turns to crap. (with the exception of our oven, friggin ancient, was in the house when we moved here 12 years ago, probably 20 years older than that, still works), our Kenmore fridge is a pain in the butt. We had an OLD westinghouse fridge that lasted forever. finally died late last year. bout 28 years old or more. Grandmother has a 70 year old (maybe older maybe less) GM, yes GM not GE, and all it needs now is freon or something and it'll be fine again. been
