IT trib caught up with Don Thompson, an extreme overclocker also known by his Internet forum alias Philly_Boy and co-owner of Magnaphase Cooling, LLC. We had a casual conversation over Windows Live Messenger, we discussed overclocking, extreme overclocking and the frigidness of today's economy...

Anyone know what happened to this board? I only seem to find one forum .. discussion, and what's new doesn't work. This forum gives the impression that everyone has everything operating perfectly. No new questions, problems or stuff to improve on. I knew the economy was slow and a lot of...

Does anyone know if there is a way to "keep" Win 7 without buying it? Don't preach to me now about supporting MS because as the world's richest company my few bucks ain't gonna' ruin them. I want to keep it because it really works well with COD(UO) and I have a lot of software installed that...

Frankly, I don't understand all the glowing praises for Windows 7 Beta. I don't understand also all this hatred for Windows Vista. Under Windows 7, almost all of my current applications DO NOT work! Three of my devices DO NOT work! I am a professional video editor and my Magix Movie Edit 14 does...

Well, darn it all. My HP Photosmart 7600 series printer won't install or work at all in Windows 7. No updated drivers available. I just love this printer. Nothing wrong with it and it prints beautifully. Since this is a beta OS, is it a possibility that later down the road, drivers might be...
