cool! thanks! it freed up almost a gig for me on my desktop, not like it matters, lol.

so im going to get it because you heard good things about it? lol. from pretty much every review the d-link performs better. so i need to figure out now if the linksys has any sort of an advantage

i am looking to buy a wireless N router. i currently have my eye on the D-LINK DIR-655 http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 i am open to suggestions but i do want to keep the price somewhat low i can get the DIR-655 for $116 at BestBuy.. the only other intersting ones to me are the Linksys WRT350N and Trendnet TEW-633GR

eh, that sucks. at least i have an explanation, thanks. i might get a new router tonight: http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=530 have an a/b/g/n wireless card wit a 5 year old b router... that just isnt fun.

i said everything..

i just set everything ot 100MB full and speeds didnt change still transferring at 11-12MB/s for single large files and 500KB/s for many small files i guess i will have to try a different router. i'll go over to my friend's house later and test how his is, i think he has g, he better..

told u, lol

well apparantly the problem is only when copying alot of very small files. i am currently testing copying a large iso and it is going at 11MB/s this is wired, but 11MB/s still is slow.. what speeds do you guys transfer at? wireless, the same large iso transfers at 550KB/sec... i suppose it is the wireless b router, lol. very old stuff. i should probably get that upgraded.

i am trying to send a few gigs of files from my desktop to my laptop. both are using vista ultimate x64 the problem is that the transfer speeds are like 250kb/s or less... now that is just slow! they are both wired to the same router. any ideas? disabling the windows firewall on both did nothing

EVGA does

zxian- i was actually looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817392009

i dont really care about price. i want something that wone let my hdd die in a year.

i have an 80GB SATA 2.5" laptop drive that i am no longer using. it came with my new laptop but i just put in a 320GB drive. so i might as well use the 80GB drive for backup/portability so now i need to find a good external enclosure for it. definatly needs to have USB 2.0 and eSATA would be nice as my motherboard has it already. newegg has so many external enclosures... do any of you recommend any?

anyone?

ya you can find SP1 if you know where to look. i tested it out in a virtual machine and it worked fine.

stupid paypal isnt doing anything about it. they only deal with if it was shipped or not..

it's also a long wait time...

so the thing is now, i have been kinda fighting this guy thru the paypal dispute thing. basically he has a "business partner" who gives him these disks to sell. he said that his copy works perfectly and doesnt contain any of those files i listed on the disk. also he says that since it activates fine, works fine, updates fine, that he refuses a refund i say, it only activates fine b/c it is cracked! then he says, well you prolly have made copies of the disk for youself anyways im like, why!? i can just download this same exact disk if i wanted to. so then the guy keeps saying that i am lying and s*** like that even tho he is 100% wrong should i escelate the paypal? or contact MS? i emailed piracy@microsoft.com and they just replied "Due to the sensitive legal nature of these matters, it is not possible for us to provide feedback or updates about actions taken on your submission." i will just have to call them tomorrow

it is genuine tho, that is what is so great about that oem bios crack

i will take a look at that and MS claims to have stopped the oem bios crack with SP1

#1 passes b/c that is basically the reason of the crack, to be able to pass all of that for #2, the product key and product key hash matches exactly to the cracked version. i have been arguing with this guy over email and he still says that it is legit, haha.

you could try setting the link to the exe file ex: <a href="C:\Program\Files\Office\word.exe">Word</a> however i doubt that it will work, worth a try tho

so my friend decided to finally get vista with SP1 being here and all. but he decided to get it off of craigslist. he got it for $70. the guy said that it was a retial key and he also said that he made it unattended. he didnt even ship the original disk. so after installtion, i first notice the GRUB bootloader for a split second.. and once in vista i notice that it is registered as an oem dell.. with logo and all.. doesnt this sound extremely familiar to that dell oem bios cracked version??? then i find a file which contains: "Vista Ultimate DELL OEM Permanently Actived Edition (hAwIE)" so i had my friend email the guy all of this information but the guy refused to do a refund. he says that it is legit.. he also said that this copy is able to activate up to 10 comps at once!? so what do you guys think about this? i am thinking of having my friend filing a paypal dispute. but the guy is saying that he has all the emails saying that they agreed upon the transaction. a transaction where he promised a retail legit key.. so basically i need to prove that the key is not legit..

ya, now where can we get it, lol. i dont want to wait a month for this to be available to the people who actually want it.

it was registry, thanks HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Video\Tuners\ DWORD: BackingFileDuration = 600 for 1 Hour that is what i found, now to test if it works edit: doesnt seem to have worked
