    Windows 7 is stealing my HDD space!! WTH?

    You can remove the System Restore backups for older dates to free up more space too. The most convenient way to do it is to use CCleaner (or similar tool).

    Forcing games to run in 4:3 res on 16:10 monitor

    Yes, you're right. My bad. :)

    Want to buy Non-Reference AMD Graphic Card

    Some of the non-reference 7970s take the space for 3 slots in your mobo. Some of them have good coolers but they end up dumping most of the heat directly into your chassis. You might want to check these things before you place your orders. If you didn't specifically ask for an AMD card, you...

    Victory at CERN - Higgs Boson found?

    The only publication, that I know of, which has mentioned the Bose-Einstein work recently is The Guardian, a British newspaper.

    Want to buy Non-Reference AMD Graphic Card

    www.hardwire.in You can speak to the owner directly. I purchased some things from here, no hassles at all. Just a word of caution; if you're buying from IT Depot, I recommend that you go to their showrooms in person as you live in Chennai.

    Forcing games to run in 4:3 res on 16:10 monitor

    Go to the ATI CCC, if I recall correctly, you can find options for screen scaling setup in it. Set it to force the resolution you want. You can probably do this via the profile manager too. Sorry, I can't be any more specific because I haven't used CCC in quite awhile.

    Needs help with my Audio Problem...URGENT

    Try Realtek drivers. Some of them are labelled as "High Definition Audio Device" in the Control Panel and Device Manager. If that doesn't work it's probably because you don't have the actual sound device driver set installed. The "High Definition Audio Device" probably pertains to some generic...

    Want to purchase Antivirus.. lowest cost

    If you have a genuine version of Windows, get Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free, as effective as commercial products and convenient. If you really want a commercial one, my votes are for Kaspersky or Avira.

    Windows 7 is stealing my HDD space!! WTH?

    Apart from what people have already suggested/recommended above, try moving or spreading your Virtual Memory allocations to several partitions or simply assign them to a partition that has more space. ——> System > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Performance Options > Advanced > Virtual...

    How to Dual boot Mac OSX with Windows?

    You meant to say that you want to switch to OSX (Apple's OS). "Macintosh" refers to the computer itself, put together by Apple, tailored to the OSX. Yup, the current version of OSX is Mountain Lion. If you want to install OSX on a PC with non-Apple hardware, the only methods (that I know of)...

    Microsoft Surface Tablets

    The Surface can derail the iPad — but ONLY if Windows 8 proves formidable. If it doesn't, that won't bode well for Microsoft at all. I really hope MS can pull this one off. It can also put a stop to these shitty computer setups that brands in India fool people with.

    Victory at CERN - Higgs Boson found?

    The "God" particle has nothing to do with any religion or any "god" at all. Quite the contrary, the existence of such a particle directly opposes the concept of "god". It's named so because it's meant to answer the question why matter has mass. Also, I've noticed that they've not mentioned...

    Gigabyte expanding warranty

    This is excellent — if it's applicable in India (there's always a goddamned catch, huh?).

    Non-Reference GTX 670/GTX 680

    Yup, that's the one. The 670 was about 2-3K more than I'd have liked to pay but this thing wrecks any and every game. I sold my old card (HD 5970) for a good price, it makes up for the cost. Besides, this thing wrecks any and every game. Overclocked, it runs very close to 1.3GHz. The cooler on...
