Although different tables vary in results they're all farely similar
But imagine a diamond heatsink

A silver heatsink would be quite doable though. It would be pricey, but I can't think of any technical obstacles to it.

Since people can make money selling $250 NIC's to the hardcore crowd, I'm sure there would be a market for it. Hmm.

Anyone want to explain to me how to use a 3 input NAND-gate as an inverter... I know you have to short one of the inputs but I have no idea how it works.

something like this?

Ahh I think I get it now...

thanks for the link I could probably gather some more info from that site. I think missing that one lab fucked me up big time... I'm never skipping class again >_>

Logic gates are pretty easy to figure out if you can do it in notation form o_O

I can do most of the writing stuff easy... it's actually wiring the thing up that's giving me problems o_o

I've only ever done it with a breadboard..it was pretty shitty

I'm using a breadboard too.

I'm supposed to light an LED using this G=(A'+B)(A+B')(B'+C) using NOR gates. I have one 2 input IC and one 3 input IC.

I converted the equation for NOR gates but when I wired it up it didn't work at all. I think I'm connecting the wires to the 3 input gate incorrectly. Or I converted the equation incorrectly... I got G=((A'+B)'+(A+B')'+(B'+C)')'

Edit: I was connecting to the 3 input IC incorrectly... -___- Anyone want to check if the equation is correct?

My PCs been infected by a virus/trojan/worm that makes the folder options disappear and I'm also unable to open my task manager and registry editor. I scanned my PC using Avira and AVG Free but nothing is coming up. Is there a manual way I can remove/delete it?

thatguy · « **Reply #832 on:** March 15, 2007, 10:42:59 AM »

do you know which virus/trojan/worm it is? if you can pin-point its name, you can almost always google it and get either a norton utility or at least a forum guide on how to remove it.

im willing to bet it's not actually a virus/trojan/worm, but rather a piece of malware that is simply attempting to hijack your computer (rather than corrupt it). you should get AVG spyware scanner, and also possibly adaware and spybot to do additional scans. depending on what those turn up, you may need to get a malware removal kit (hijackthis, dllcheck, etc)--although once i came across a piece of malware which i could easily remove by using some of AVG's (previously ewido) built in functions.

in any case, the first few steps are the same. just scan with whatever scanning tools you can get your hands on, and try to find the name of this thing. then google it or come back here for the next steps.

I asked around and I've reason to belief that the problems are being caused by something called Brontok(?) I'll do searches to find out how to get rid of it and I hope the methods will work *crosses fingers*

Thanks tg~

Anyone know the setting of Bitcomet that will speed up the DL speed?
I know there is one out there, but it was in chinese so i dunno how to set it

i tried it and got something like

lolwrongequation.

Which if you have 2 2-input ICs, would be feasible, but not with 1

bittorrent is P2P, your speeds will vary depending on # of seeders and if they are seeding fast

To add to that make sure if you are on a ADSL line that you do not max-out your upload speed, otherwise the download will suffer (e.g. goto like 70% of your maximum upload speed)

I don't have any tech problems, just a question:

Should I un-install my on-board video drivers before I install a new video card?

Not mandatory, but the less unused shit is referenced in the windows registry, the better.
