Just looking for some more cool apps to add to my DroidX...

(to all you iPhone users...my phone can handle a WiiMote without being jailbroken...can your phone do that?...DROID Does)

Here's what I have...anything else I should add?

AMD Phenom II 940 @ 3.6Ghz OC'd

Xigmatek HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle Cooler

Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-DS4h

8GB OCz DDR2 1066 RAM

Dual Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 1GB

Asus TV Tuner (Dual with FM Radio)

2x 250GB HDD in RAID 0

1x 750GB HDD Not in RAID (yet)

Creative Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 Surround Sound Card

19" Acer LCD

Logitech X540 5.1 Surround Sound

I am not looking to upgrade the parts i have...i just want to see if i can add more capabilities to my current rig. Just need some ideas...

I am looking for additional SATA power rails for my Raidmax RX-630SS power supply. Only problem is I haven't been able to find any. Any ideas other than Ebay...(i already looked there)

I am not looking for a Molex to SATA connector...those are a dime a dozen. I am looking to find an additional one to go with my power supply. Dont want all those ugly wires in there if i don't have to...so please do not suggest it.

I am very savvy when it comes to computers...I built it myself, just want more SATA connectors that are compatible with my Semi modular power supply because it only came with 4 and i need more due to case/disk requirements. I asked this question before and was suggested that i take my computer to the store i bought it from...*sigh*...i can't take it to Newegg...and Newegg doesn't sell the part without the power supply.

I am of course referring to the Kernel Memory as it applies to 32bit Operating systems and their inability to Show 4GB of System Memory.

I am not understanding why there are so many mixed reports of what a 32Bit operating system can support. Some say 3.2GB, some say 3.5GB...and then they further suggest that people shouldn't install more than 3.5GB of memory....

When is the last time you were building a system and you actually installed 3.5GB of memory (3x1gb and 1x512mb or 1x2gb, 1x1gb and 1x512mb)?

I am fairly knowledgeable about computers...so please...no silly answers.

I just need to know if Intel Processors (especially in the Penryn line) have an onboard memory controller like the new AMD processors now do. If so would it limit the amount of memory that could be installed? Or is that still controlled by the motherboard as it always has been. The reason I am asking is I am looking to drop this SLOW T2310 Pentium Dual Core (533mhz FSB 1MB L2) out of my laptop and upgrade to something like a T7500 Core2 Duo (800Mhz FSB 4MB L2) and I want to know if i will pick up a little better RAM capacity or will i be still stuck at 2GB.

Oh yeah...and before you say it can't be done....or I need to make sure that my motherboard will support the 800Mhz FSB...I have already checked it and my Motherboard will support 533/667/800 Mhz FSB....and already has support for Penryn processors....

Ok...here's the Thing...I am not Technologically Impaired...so please...if you are going to waste my time Don't Bother.

My Rig....

AMD Phenom II 940 3.0 Stock / Overclocked to 3.6Ghz

8GB DDR2 1066 RAM

GA-MA790GP-DS4H Motherboard BIOS Rev F3

Dual Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 1GB In CrossfireX (8x/8x mode)

Windows XP x64/Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit

With my 2 Operating systems I have 2 Different issues...Both Dealing with DirectX (Sigh)

In Windows XP x64 I have a Modded 9.0c to allow DirectX 10 Support. That is working just fine. When I go into the Display properties is where i have a problem. For Some reason the section for "Approx. Total Memory" for the Display is only reading 1GB (1024.0MB) Which would be accurate if Crossfire was not Enabled. I have the March 2009 Version of 9.0c, and the Latest Drivers from AMD/ATI (4-7-2009 release)...I downloaded both this morning. Still incorrect readings. This is causing a problem in GTA IV (not that it is unplayable..i just can't max out the view distance) as it shows that i have 1GB of Video ram when i know Darn Well that I have 2GB.

I am sure there is a file i can edit somewhere in the DirectX files that will allow me to set another maximum for DirectX 9.0c..which i am thinking is the problem. Has anyone found it?

After i tried that...i decided to see what Windows 7 would report. Figuring i would see 2048MB of Video ram because of the Newer Version of DirectX which should support more. I was right...but it was still wrong. Instead of showing that I have 2GB of Video Ram it shows 3.5GB... I have no Shared Memory as i have the Onboard Video Disabled in BIOS. I want to know where this come from...1.5 GB is just coming out of nowhere....Anybody know why?!

Why is it that when people ask a question about their computer, they seem to fail in supplying the appropriate information about their computer?

It is not like it is too much to ask to say..."The Model number of my computer is..." or "I am having trouble with my Brand & Model...it is not doing THIS"

"Help me fix my computer?" Doesn't help...cause we have not a clue what your computer is.

Is it too much to ask for people to supply enough information for us to help them?

I currently have a 2001 Chevy Cavalier with 5SPD Manual Tranny.... For some reason Chevy felt that this car did not need a Tach...instead they installed an Idiot shift light (which I ignore)...

My Question simply put is this....Can you simply swap the No Tach instrument cluster with the version with a Tach (of course i would need to update the mileage etc...i know this...) I am talking about splicing wires and such....i prefer not to if i dont have to.

Here's the problem....I have no power especially at low rpms...while in neutral i get hesitation until about 2000rpm....then the power picks up through the rest of the range. Every now and again i will get a rough idle. I have absolutely no power while in gear. i have been racking my brain over this for a while now and i haven't figured it out....heres a list of things that have been checked....

Engine Timing (new belt installed too)

Ignition Timing

Distributer (yes...the whole thing)

Throttle Position Sensor

Intake Gaskets

EGR Valve

Vacuum Leaks

Air Filter (same with no filter)

Fuel Pump

Fuel Filter

Fuel Injectors

Fuel...

Wiring

Compression

Spark plugs

Diagnostic Run on computer...nothing shows up....(OBD I)

Recently I have Replaced the Engine (VG30E) with a younger engine of the same type (~25000mi from 150,000) after the old engine lost all compression in 3-4-5-6 cylinders.

After replacing the engine everything worked great, until the Flexplate broke. It was broken in a Circle about 1/4 inch from the center bolts. At this time I assumed that during shipment of the engine the flexplate had been bent or cracked. So I replaced with the flexplate off of the original engine. (I checked to ensure that it was indeed flat and had no serious signs of wear. After replacement I had some problems with the solenoid on the starter, so i replaced the starter. The car ran great, Until today.

My flexplate has broken once again. I havent gotten all the way in there yet, but i am assuming that the same problem has presented itself again. My question is this. Would an off balance torque converter cause this problem? Or is the problem likely to reside in the Crankshaft?

I have a 91 Maxima with the VG30E engine in it, i was wondering if it is possible to put the VG30DE in to replace it without too much of a hassle. The VG30DE came in 92-94 Maxima SE. I have an automatic transmission. Would i need to change out a bunch of things or would it be minor replacements like the crossmember and motor mounts?
