How does this sound???

Ok so basically I have to rma my msi board because my second channel of memory is not working...did all the test recommended and narrowed problem down to mobo.  
So I have to rma the board and I can't go six week without a computer.....I was thinking of buying an asus p4p800-e deluxe board to replace the msi board.
But now I’m thinking I should upgrade to an amd platform by buying a MSI athlon 64 socket 939 board and an athlon 64 3000+ (283 dollars total)
If i sell my p4 on eBay I can make 150-160 bucks and If I sell my msi board after the rma comes in I can make 30-40 bucks...so all in all If i upgrade to the a64 system I will spend about 100 dollars.
If I upgrade to the asus motherboard I spend 113?
What do you guys recommend? I’m leaning toward the amd system right now.  

i´m happy with my current p4-system, but if i would by a new system today i would probably go for the 939 socket.
something like the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum.

  • Was told a USB device would create a PDF automatically from the data contained within when plugged into my USB port. Doesn't seem to work. How does this work and how can I fix the device I received?

    Acrobat is not on the USB device - only Adobe Reader needed on the PC. How does this work? How can I fix this device if at all?

    You need to ask the people who sold it to you. Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Reader.
    However, you should be wary of devices that automatically try to open files when plugged in. They can also infect your computers with all kinds of viruses or malware.

  • Does this sound like a dead Time Capsule?

    Came home this aft to no WIFI.  Checked and the light was off on my Time Capsule (first generation) but otherwise intenret connectios seemed OK.
    Powered the TC off/on; green light came on momentarily, changed to orange for about 30 seconds, then went off again.  Repeated the cycle several times with no difference.
    I have noticed recently that the hard-drive in my TC was getting noisy but everything appeared to be working until a few hours ago.
    I recall there were issues with the early Time Capsules and sudden death.  Does this sound like that situation?
    Welcome advice on whether current generation Time Capsules are more reliable or would a better course be to replace it with a generic router and seprate backup disk?
    Thanks ..donald

    Apple treated me well on this.  My TC was 15 months out of warranty when I took it to the Genius Bar.  About the only question asked was "do you have Apple Care on another product?", following which a replacement TC was produced, some paperwork signed and I was on my way.
    Only a couple of reservations: 
    The replacement TC, according to the Genius, is new "service stock" (not a refurnished unit) but the same model as my original TC; i.e. First Generation.  This leaves me guessing it will have about a 2-yaer lifespan as well, so I I should plan on upgrading well in advance.  I'll be listening carefully for strange noises and watching how hot it gets.
    The second reservation is about security of the information on the TC; al the Time Machine backups plus a little bot of other stuff.  The old TC was boxed for return to Apple and I have to trust Apple that it will be securly destroyed.  Trust is a big thing.

  • Anyone Using Apogee Ensemble? How Does It Sound?

    the only weak link in my chain is my audio card. was wondering how does it sound compared to other interfaces?
    thanks

    There's been a very good discussion over at gearslutz. Apogee themselves are taking part...
    http://gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php?t=85743&highlight=apogee+ensemble
    Other good threads too if you do a search.
    Apogee are currently providing the driver as Apple's firewire driver is ermm... unsuitable.
    It is essential that all Ensemble users make sure they are using the latest software from apogee. they've been updating it every month for the past few months. I must say all my problems (well more like annoying niggles really)have gone since the last update - I'm not using every mode/config available of course.
    Latency is pretty insignificant compared to the latency your daw provides due to plugins etc. I've just done a session this morning with a mandolin player. With PDC in Logic switched off for the busses I could still use plenty of plugins/VI's without problems (for his playing). Buffer is set to 128k right now. macpro's are just mind blowing!
    As I type this I'm listening to Anoushk Shankar on CD through my ensemble and mackie 824's. Godd ddamn it sounds good:-)

  • 3.6MB for one song?? Does this sound correct?

    I have just downloaded iTunes and I have downloaded one song. At the bottom of iTunes it is telling me that the song is 1 song, 3.6minutes, 3.6 MB. Does this sound like the correct MB size for one song?? I dont want to start downloading more songs if my settings are incorrect. If this is incorrect setting, how do I change it to get smaller MB per song??
    Thanks!

    *If this is incorrect setting, how do I change it to get smaller MB per song??*
    Sorry, purchased content is only available at 128 kbbs (for regular content) or 256 kbbs per second (for iTunes plus content).

  • Under search in maps, names come up that aren't in my contacts. How does this happen?

    Under search history in the Maps app,...along with all the other places I
    did search for, some addresses comes up that I'm not familiar with, and they stay
    there. In some cases I didn't search for them at all. Some I may have. A name also
    appears, under the address, like "from John Doe". It’s a name that
    I'm familiar with my email, but is not in my contacts. Why and how does
    this happen?
    For example, a person I receive emails from for work, came up as the
    "from", and the address, after I searched for it (not on my phone).....I found out
    it was the address of his company, I place I've never searched for, nor is
    there a hyper-link to it any emails/websites that I could have clicked on
    accidentally.
    In another example, the beginning of an address “5165” which I may have searched
    for and starting typing in came up in the history with several locations that
    start with those numbers. Most of them say “from current location”, but one says from
    a name, whom again I’m familiar with by email, but is not in my contacts and
    have no idea of why the name would be somehow connected to the address.

    Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it. Do you know why the names are attached, as "from"?
    I attached a screen shot image. "Harry" and "Angela" are not contacts in my phone. Who would their names get there?

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • HT2357 So how does this work on Mountain Lion? I cannot seem to ignore the iTunes 11 updates, which now seem to appear every 5 minutes!!

    So how does this work on Mountain Lion? I cannot seem to ignore the iTunes 11 updates, which now seem to appear every 5 minutes!!

    Fantastic!  Didn't work at first so restarted App store and tried again.  This time it asked 'ignore update'.  All gone!

  • How does this work with multiple systems backing up with time machine

    I was wondering as Apple states that this will do multiple time machine backups as in multiple computers, how does this do this? I am assumng that it will require me to partition the srive in the unit as multiple partitions. 1 for each time computer with time machine running.

    I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to interpret your answer so I'll ask for clarification.
    Do you mean that the backup belonging to each user will be protected by filesystem perms? In other words Alice's backup will be owned by Alice and only readable by her, ditto for the hyperthetical Bill?
    I guess in other words, does Time Machine preserve file ownership perms?

  • TS1425 My co worker has given me his iPod to take home and transfer his music to my laptop, however, I am unable to access his music to download it to my computer.  How does this work?

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • I was using my notes earlier today and now for some reason they are all gone. How does this happen and is there anything I can do to get them back, the new ones also that haven't been synced.

  • How does this IMPORT statement works

    can any one tell me how does this statement will work..
    I am wokring on Solution manager system , where in there is a function module SSF_FIELD_LIST
    to which system passes form name.
      import fields to fieldlist
             from database stxfcontr(sf) id l_fullname.
    stxfcontr is a table which contains value of in  a diff
    Regards,
    mayank

    It will import data object stored in memory under named fields to your custom data object fieldlist .
    The table which it is stored is name stxfcontr under RELID (memory area) SF .
    Cluster key (key of the entry) in that table is behind var l_fullname
    Anyhow I think [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3bf8358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm] is more that any explanation. Once you study it, you will understand the above.

  • How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • In Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.  How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

    n Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.  How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

    You said:
    I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.
    ...and:
    Are you saying that my address book has not been hacked into?  That others are getting these email addresses from another source?
    This confuses me.  Are you saying that you are receiving bogus e-mails from some of your contacts, or are you saying that they are receiving bogus e-mails from you?
    If the latter, there are a number of reasons that people might be getting e-mail from you.  Malware, though technically possible, is extremely unlikely.  See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
    If the former, that's rather unusual.  The only decent explanation I can think of is that a bunch of your Windows-using contacts got infected with something and their machines are being used to spam everyone in their contact lists, which would include you.

  • How does this make any sense??

    My husband gets the three bureao FICO subscription....this is on his credit report under "negative factors" HOW does this make ANY sense?!? It has "too many credit accounts with balances" as a negative factor...he has one credit card.... You have too many credit accounts with balances.EquifaxThe FICO® Score considers the number of accounts on a credit report showing a balance.Generally speaking, carrying fewer accounts with balances is considered less risky.For credit cards , your credit report may still show a balance on those cards - even if they are paid off in full each month. The total balance on the last statement is generally the amount that is shown on a credit report. NUMBER OF YOUR ACCOUNTS CARRYING A BALANCE Equifax1 accountFICO High Achievers have an average of 3 credit accounts carrying a balance.

    I think they're trying to say that he doesn't have enough accounts and with only one reporting (with a balance of course), that's their common answer.
