I will never be able to catch up to you. What are you up to now, half dozen or a dozen computers running Folding@Home ? [ maybe a couple of PS3 too ] Does any of the Beta programs help you fold faster?

Made it to the top 12 and I did it the old fashion way, with 3 computers. I don't need no stinkin PS3 to pad my numbers.

Download speed usually sucks during daytime hours,too much traffic on the same node.

For Vista there is no programs out right now to tweak it to improve your connection. For Smart Bro you can start here.http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?board=135.0 I would start with Coolbuster's 20 Steps to Faster Smartbro.

Same goes here . Hope for a speedy recovery and my prayers are with you.

The E-mail notification seem to be working this morning, I have two E-mail, one at 10:11 & another at 10:12 am. Yesterday I did not get any,but I did get three on Tuesday..

Looks like a way to increase your posts to me. Tommy better watch out , there is a new SPAMMER in town.

Are you doing it this way. Tool / Option / Context / Advanced in the Fonts & Colors section / Minimum font size.

Right now Windows Task Manager says I am using 1.32GB of ram. Firefox alone is using 74,172K . I am just surfing the internet right now using FireFox 3.0 on my laptop. Laptop Spec. AMD Turion 64X2 [ TL-62 ] 4GB of Memory 250GB Harddrive Windows Vista 64 Home Premium Service Pack 1

Try to do a system restore back to before the problem started ,if you can.

To get rid of the Icons all you have to do was right click the toolbar and then left click on customize. That will open up a box and all you have to do was drag the icons you do not want into the box. To get rid of the Toolbar all you have to do was again right click on the toolbar and uncheck the toolbar you did not want. As for the way the icon look right now there is all most 300 different themes you can use in Firefox. They even have one that look like Vista aero.

If you can go into safe mode and do a system restore. If I were you I would get the right drivers from the manufacture of the laptop and use them. Sometime they have their own drivers and the ones on the video card manufacture web site do not always work.

You should always uninstall the old drivers before you install the new drivers. It does not matter who's drivers or who's card [ Nvidia or ATI ] you are using, uninstall the drivers first.

I use AVG 80. / Spybot Search & Destroy and Comodo BOClean on my XP computer and everything runs fine and all of the programs are FREE.

It does not tell you what 9 series Nvidia cards you are getting. according to HP web site they do not even offer the 9 series, they offer you a choice of the 8800GT / 8800GTX or the 8800 Ultra graphic cards [ all are good cards ] . You do not need SLI unless you have a monitor that is 24 inches or larger. Anything less then that you will not get any real benefit out of SLI. The motherboard is a 780i board, IT not as bad as the 680i was, but it has had some problems too. No watercooling system is maintenance free. You still have to change the cooling water at least once a year and if there is a lot of dust in your house you still have to blow out the fans and radiators to keep it from overheating. Build it yourself and it will be cheaper and you have more fun going nuts wondering if your thousands of dollars of computer parts are going to go up in smoke when you push the start button. Edit - Read the whole thing ,at the bottom it says the computer has dual 9800GT graphic cards.

I do not have Smartbro, but here would be a great place to start to look for a answer to your question. See if you can get a hold of Coolbuster or at least try his 20 steps to faster Smartbro. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?board=135.0 or http://www.testmy.net/t-21175

Have you try to restore it to a early time ,before your niece messed with it.

I would like a answer to this question too. I have Vista running on two computer and I have had no problems with either computer. My laptop is a $800.00 HP with a AMD X2 mobile [ TL-62 @ 2.1 GHz ] with 4 GB of ram, Nvidia Geforce 7150M internal graphic and a 250 GB harddrive, running Vista Home Premium 64 bit. My desktop is a Intel Xeon X3350 overclocked to 3.5 GHz and watercooled. It also has 4 GB of ram, a Nvidia 9800 GX2 graphic card on a Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4 motherboard and 2 x 74 GB harddrive. It running Vista Ultimate 64 bit. The only time I had problems was when I overclock it too much. Turn the overclock down and it ran Prime 95 for 19 hours on all four core at the same time before I turn it off with no errors.

Just trying to learn here, not trying to start a flame. #1 What can a Mac do that windows can't. There is alot of software programs out there for windows. # 2 I have a X3350 in my desktop with 12 MB of L2 cache the same as the cpu you link to . What is the different between the two .

You want to lower gas price, a gas strike will not work. The only thing that is going to lower gas price now is to lower the demand. It's that plain and simple. Buy a more fuel efficient car, car pool and plan your daily trip better so you can do everything you have to do in one trip. That about all you can do for now. Hopefully in the future there will be more thing you can do.

I was just up on the Dell web site and I will agree with you. When you compare the IMac with a Dell apple to apple the IMac does pretty good in price against the Dell.

I should of said that I was talking about notebooks when i was talking about price. Sorry about that. As for the Mac Pro I do not even use half of the power my Quad has to offer, why would I want a eight core computer for. Remember I am like most of the people that use computer ,I surf the web and play games ,I do not even need the Quad I have but I let my E-Penis get the best of me when I built this computer. The only time I use all four cores is when I am Folding.
