Three pin fan headers allow for fan speed control through PWM which is why they are superior, allowing the fan speed to be adjusted by the motherboard in real time. You don't get this control with molex connectors. Although, you do get more power through the molex connector which can be a good...

Microsoft are being real stubborn on this one by not allowing software engineers access the OS's deepest kernel functions, effectively allowing the software to do it's intended function. Not the best way to kick off with their "cough" best OS yet "cough".

I don't know where you find this shit (no pun intended), but it's definitely not what I wanted to read when i woke up this morning.

Thanks for the link B :cool: I've been reading on Mini-ITX and they all seem to point out that VIA's boards are very well supported under linux, so IPCop will work nicely. At the momoent, i have an AMD K6 300 as my firewall and it's a behemoth at best. The real beauty about these things, is they...

Hi all, In the near future, I plan to build myself an IPCop firewall running on a VIA EPIA board. VIA make very cool processors (in both senses) and dead silent to boot. What I'm asking if anybody has actually had any real experience with these l33t Mini-ITX systems? I mean, a 17x17cm...

That small amount of voltage would not really make a difference in the long run. Consider it an overclock :cool:

I can personally say, that isn't true (at least in my case). Like most people, I too dislike DRM, so I burn my iTunes purchased songs and then rip them to mp3 format. Works flawlessly.

Firewall performance can also slow down browsing and network speed. If you have one, try disabling it and see what you get.

Unless your SLI'ing that 8800GTS, I'd be shooting a little lower on the wattage side. Nevertheless, it will do the job fine. I haven't heard anything bad about that particular PSU as of yet. Other good chices would be the Seasonic 650W S12Energy+ or the Corsair HX520W or HX620W if you want to go...

The difference between the two games (on my rig anyway) are only 3-7FPS on 12x10 res, but that loss was easily regained by overclocking a little. If anything, the lighting is improved a little. But I guess that's the price you pay for getting a freakier game.

What is the make and model of your motherboard please?

Everything will work fine. But, please note, the eVGA motherboard your looking at only supports one ATA channel. Meaning, you will have to run your HDD on the same channel as your optical drive.

It will be fine for what you need it for.

It uses the same game engine, yet it may me slightly updated.

Some people just have too much time on their hands!

Sennheiser's kick ass. I have the HD212 Pro's and the sound is just brilliant :good:

I'll also vouch for WindowBlinds. Good scalability and great OS support.

In its first introduction to Microsoft's new operating system, Kaspersky Lab has announced support for Windows Vista in its Anti-Virus 6.0 and Internet Security 6.0 personal software products. Kaspersky today introduced the beta version of Maintenance Pack 2 for the two software titles, which...

I selected the wrong poll option. My vote should have been for "Yes, I Think the news forum to should be opened." I also agree that it will need to be moderated, however. If the Admins and Mods feel the extra work is not necessitated, I'm sure the News Crew, including myself will help out.

Just a few days before the official release of Windows Vista, which many consider an important factor to convince PC users to upgrade to better graphics hardware, a market research firm says that graphics cards sales have slowed significantly in the first three quarters of the year. According...
