    Which Big 3 auto maker will go bankrupt first?

    yet so much more rugged pickups... guess you can't win them all... However, the new mustangs are far better looking than anything GM has ever produced. I have no knowledge of how well they run, but damn do they look nice.

    Microsoft Extends Support for Windows XP To 13 Years

    This really isn't big news...they aren't extending the life of the product, they are only extending "support". Even considering this, it is only a 3 year extension on thier standard policy (33% longer) which has yet to actually apply to any product that was released after the policy was made...

    Internet Explorer 7?

    Don't forget to add..."in your oppinion". Personally, my opinnion is that IE > FF. My reasoning is that it "just works" plain and simple. You never find a site that doesn't work in IE (which wasn't designed to not work in IE). and Yes, IE7 is fine, I still prefer IE6 at this point...

    QuoteTracker Slowing down my Internal PC Clock?

    ^^ This statement ^^ coupled with this statement is very good evidence that this has nothing to do with QT directly. If you've used previous versions prior and they worked, something else must have changed on your system that is causing the problems (possibly conflicting with QT but not QT...

    QuoteTracker having mini seizures...

    Usually true, but if he is tracking an additional 500 symbols in the background (possibly without knowing it), it would be a lot of data. Or, if he happens to be watching QQQQ, SPY, MSFT, IWM, etc (most active stocks), 10 charts could easily be bogging down his system if they are...

    QuoteTracker having mini seizures...

    After reading through this thread, it seems there might be some confusion as to what the problem actually is. Many people are suggesting network related issues but you say that the feed continues running, it is just your charts that hang. How do you know this? Do you have a watchlist open as...

    SATA Hard Drives.. high pitch tone?

    I can't hear a high pitched noise with my 3 sata drives (2WD and 1Maxtor) in my main computer...however, that is probably because my 10k rpm raptor is the loudest piece of hardware in my computer...

    Mainboard accepting Fewer RAM Sticks

    I'd also second the recommendation to test the outlet on the wall. If you are familiar with using a multimeter, you can do it yourself. It's amazing what kind of wierd issues low or high power can cause. I had an issue a while back where I went through 3 Power supplies and a mainboard...

    Linksys Wireless-N Gigabit Router

    Correct. While the router will technically, introduces another "hop" in the connection, since it is considered "local" (LAN), it should add less than 1ms (1/1000th of a second) to the latency unless it is malfunctioning. However, I would warn against using linksys routers. I've had...

    Vista = Windows ME.

    I've used Vista in both a software development environment and a gamer environment since launch and had zero problems that could be blamed on vista. Even running some games that are 10 years old. Sure software development is different, however, it is just a matter of learning the quirks of...

    Vista = Windows ME.

    I would agree to this with the addition of the following: "or used it long enough to realise they had to learn some new tricks and gave up." I've always said that microsoft went a bit overboard with the "change for the sake of change" mentality when it came to Vista. They changed a...

    Vista = Windows ME.

    Noone loved XP when it came out. Consumers were even slower to adapt to XP than they have been to vista. XP was a POS prior to SP2. It wasn't until then that microsoft finally got XP right and people started switching over quickly. Even now, there is still a large number of IT professionals...

    Vista = Windows ME.

    rofl...and here I was actually fooled into thinking you were posting links as references to what you were posting about. I thought that I already never trusted anyone on the internet. Now I realize that I do occasionally. That has to stop.

    Comuter Techies I need your help - New Computer

    Yeah, You are paying almost a grand for 3 19in (widescreen)monitors. Unless you are already using a 19in widescreen and like it, I would seriously reconsider that as well. 19WS just "seems smaller" to me. I prefer 4:3 aspect ratio on all monitors 19" and smaller. Plus, in this day, 300$ is...

    Vista = Windows ME.

    Vista != ME. ME was a failure because of bad code. Vista is being slowly adapted to the marketplace because of bad consumers. If windows 7 really supports "all XP software", then it will be no better than what vista could be with a decent service pack (SP1 is not "decent", SP1 simply...

    which one would you choose?

    2GB is sufficient but 4GB is always better. As for XP recognizing it...The limit is actually 3GB in some 32bit XP installations (which is what you have listed in those configs) depending upon your mobo and what features it has. I have no idea if either of those have the ability to see more...
