Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?) A request for Stern, in future games. Please don't count down game timers while the ball is trapped, or otherwise out of the control of the player? I was playing RCT the other day, and got the ball stuck... during Park Tycoon! It was less...

Um, the demo sucks. I hope the game doesn't suck. They basically took everything that was great about UT and replaced it with everything that sucked with Q3A. <font color=red>I'd like to dedicate this post to all my friends, family, and fans. Without them this post would never have been...

Hello,the type of motherboard & their component.

I "upgraded" from Win2k to XP and saw that the small media player that appeared in the folder view when you clicked a media file (audio and video) wasn't there anymore. Is it dead for good? I loved how simple it was and started playing the file instantly, not that I have something againts...

Hello, I just picked up a E3400 cpu for an existing atx board and I'm looking for a good cooling/heatsink fan for it. My current cpu has about had it after 4 years and it was heat that finally got it. Before anyone asks, I'd love to do a complete rebuild for a new computer but the cash just...

I have a P67A mobo and I am going to buy an i7 3770k with a hyper evo fan, how would I Overclock it to something like 4ghz or 4.2ghz or even 4.4ghz on a P67A mobo? What do I need to change?

When I have the default BIOS setting with SpeedStep enabled, I could tell that it's working because the CPU would drop down to 1600 Mhz idle and went back up if I'm working on something. I also saw the core voltage fluctuates in CPU-Z. However, when I overclocked my CPU, the SpeedStep no longer...

I bought a new power supply and graphics card based on Wolfshadw's suggestion. It works very well, except for one thing. After I upgraded the power supply and graphics card, my DVD drive won't read discs. I've tried three different discs and none of them work. Since this was my first time...

The question says it all. I do not want to dish out an extra $80-120 for an i7 and get very little performance improvements. That being said, do you think Haswell chips will also NOT be worth the price? I plan on using my computer for high end gaming and general use.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.protocol.tcpip (More info?) Everyone, I am trying to set the TcpDelAckTicks value on a WinNT4 SP4 machine. Adjusting it has no affect. Is this setting recognized by NT? I have set it on Win2k SP6 and get the desired results. But the place I...
