Re: Old PCI WIFI Card

gdjacobs wrote: You don't need WDS. You need a router that can use client mode. WDS is a low performance way to extend WIFI coverage, akin to using a WIFI extender. WDS is more common than "client mode" in routers. In this particular case - would there really be a difference in performance? How …

Re: Old PCI WIFI Card

I don't think so. What he needs is a simple WDS Bridge . This feature is not uncommon on today's routers. In fact I'd say it's pretty standard. Furthermore, even my old router (an Edimax 6204Wg), which was a pretty basic router, and one that's at least 10 years old, has had this feature in its FW …

Re: Old PCI WIFI Card

Every router under the sun should have the hardware for that, but not the software. It doesn't matter that there are many routers that don't support this mode. What matters is that there are many routers that do. Choose one of them. That the configuration in this mode is somewhat more complicated …

Re: Talk about overkill.

The problem is that most higher clocked non-"value" sticks comes with those, as useless as they are. When I built my Haswell system all decent 16GB@1866MHz (I'd be happy with 1600MHz, but they were at the same price range) kits I could find had heatsinks... I just never bothered removing them. As …

Re: Talk about overkill.

Yeah, I don't think it's ever needed. It's just a marketing technique for gullible buyers, who think that if it has a big heatsink, it is somehow better. Well, that and looks for the geeks. I myself have a set of 4 OCZ Reapers in my desktop PC. Bought them before I realized it was silly.

Re: Thermal pastes

And that's where (opens can of worms) lapping comes to the rescue :cool: I'll just shamelessly quote myself from the thread where lapping came to the rescue last time. ;) It is funny how the first result when you google "CPU lapping" is this article . The article is great when it comes to detail …

Re: Game confession!

Oddly, I am still used to play DOOM (and other oldschool FPSes) with the keyboard only. Although I have been playing newer FPSs as well, so I am used to using the mouse in general. But I guess that in every game the scheme that feels the most natural to me is the one I used first, and for DOOM / …

You have to shoot the rocket at a very precise spot - a bit before the elevator reaches the top. If you stand at the top of the elevator and shoot - it will miss. With modern source ports that allow freelook (changing the view angle up and down) it is possible to stand at the top and aim directly …

Re: DOS copy command

using dos command "copy fileA -specialcommand :lpt1" to print a file to a postscript laser... does not work... any ideas.. Your syntax is incorrect. First of all, it should be lpt1: and not :lpt1. You can also use prn instead of lpt1: (stands for printer). Also, most special switches should be put …

Re: Game confession!

That was pretty much the only puzzle in the game. It doesn't help that you have to solve this puzzle while being assaulted by ever increasing hordes of monsters, but it does feel like a fitting end to the game. On lower difficulty settings there were invulnerability spheres around to make it easier. …
