no microphone? that's a non-starter.

past few days I was getting BSOD with an ID of BAD POOL CALLER I am not 100% sure if this is related to this article as I have done a system restore and paused the updates. All these years my system was pretty stable, I only got so many BSODs now with the latest updates. Not sure what to do as...

what do you mean "one big display" this doesn't work by default since the time of, I think, WinXP. AFAIK only some video cards support it as an extra feature. What I mean is this: in XP you could set the monitors as extended (as you can now) but with a nice twist. The extended diplay appeared to...

anything that allows you to quickly test a component would be a good solution. There are "open" cases specifically made for this purpose.

halcyoni disagree. A nice hologram would work fine. ...in 100 years I doubt anyone will be using a keyboard. while I do plan to live for another 100 years I'm sure something will stop me.

Does you system have the 32bit version (x86) or the 64 bit version (x64) of Windows 7? If it has the 32bit version then you will not see more memory than what you already see. The limit for 32bit operating systems is 4GB but some of this memory is reserved by the system's devices that is why you...

or even the Space Battleship Yamato

you can never have too much computer power, too much chocolate, be too rich or have a pc that boots too fast.
