More importantly, if you're not overclocking, don't bother replacing that. Using anything other than the fan/heatsink that comes with the PIB (processor-in-a-box) will void your warranty. If you are overclocking, your warranty is pretty much shot anyway if it cooks. ;)

Ah, Mea culpa I misread you saying "switch the power off at the mains." So yeah, you had the right idea. In my defense, when I learned this stuff (the hard way. <_< ), it was "opening the breaker" :)

Unfortunately, it's not that simple.The old PC has AGP video. I needed a PCIe card Which means new motherboard... Which means new CPU+RAM.... Which means new Power Supply... Might as well switch to SATA hard drives. at which point, you might as well just build a new one. :) I like the HTPC...

Wow, no offense, but that is bad advice for one very big reason: You're assuming the outlet is properly grounded(earthed). If it's not, then not only is leaving it plugged in not accomplishing anything to protect the components, but a power strike could come back UP the cable and fry the PC...

Ok guys, I need some suggestions. As of friday when UPS arrives, I'll have completely built my new PC. Athlon64 3800+ 2GB Ram 300 GB Hard drive (Linux) 80GB Hard Drive (Windows - Oblivion) Geforce4 7900GT Audigy2 Platinum Gigabit Ethernet DVD-RW So the question now is what should I do with...

That's because the GP32 didn't go head to head with the GBA, you troll. The PSP will chew up the XGP and spit it out if they stick with the idea of a "PSP killer." Gamers who want commercial games will go PSP. Gamers who want handheld homebrew will go PSP. Smart gamers who want handheld...

Well, a little fragile. I've dropped mine twice, and always had the same problem afterwards. It won't power on. I freak out, thinking it's dead, then I check the batteries. And both times, the lower battery terminal was jammed in so tight that the cell wasn't making contact. I thought that...

Troll or not, the stick still sucks. Signed.

Good idea. I've got most of the code logic down but, as usual, I'l choking on the GUI. My first gut instinct was a simple ncurses-type menu but this runs me into two problems: 1) AIUI, the GP2X screen generally uses the framebuffer, so I'm not sure yet if it will act as a terminal 2) ncurses...

ditto on the donating. Never got the beta even when I asked for it though. :( And after I went thrugoh all that trouble of ripping all those games to HD now that I can use Samba instead of "copy to card, test,delete from card, repeat" le sigh.

It's a bash script. You need to run *nix or cygwin. If you don't, then welcome to manual sorting :D

I dunno. I seem to remember losing some Dragon Quest time because I saved, kept playing, and my cells died. In hindsight, it may have been on NES. Good call, though. Shoulda given you more credit. :) It also forces a sync when you save state too, I assume?

Wait, so you mean it already syncs immediately when actually saving?

It's already there. Turn on usb networking, plug into your XP box/modprobe usbnet, telnet to it, and bada-bing.

With the summer coming up and the tourists going home, I've got lots of slow time at work in my future and was thinking of doing some 2X developing (assuming of course I can ever get codeblocks to @#$!@! compile... if this run doesn't take, I'm going back to Komodo). Since my biggest strength...

More on the "Metal" end of the Prog spectrum, but I rather like "Savatage"

Final Fantasy X-2 Star Ocean: Til The End of Time - Like Xenosaga, but worse. Exodus (NES) - Crappy bible game. Not to be confused with Ultima Exodus (Ultima III) Return of shinobi - GBA Spyro - season of fire - GBA If you mean "3D Worldrunner" That was actually put out by Acclaim (and there...

I just want to say: If you are one of the creators of this HEINOUS ABORTION that is wxWidgets, I wish you the most painful, lingering, slow death imaginable, you sadistic bastard! If you are one of the shmucks who codes USING this BLIGHT ON HUMANITY, raise your hand so I can kick you square...

Not to mention expensive as hell. :(

Nah, I don't pick on grammar from an obvious non-native speaker. Their english is probably better than my spanish/german/etc. I pick on grammar when I see AOL-speak. ;) To your response to point 2: SWEET. I have to test it out. That, and the original Blood omen. Point 4: Not all RPGs are FF7...
