    4 sticks of RAM: do they all need to be identical?

    If nobody knows for sure I'll just go with my gut, which tells me it'll be fine. Will report back if I get weird crashes! :-)

    4 sticks of RAM: do they all need to be identical?

    I *am* overclocking, my 2500k is running at 4GHz. I'm not overclocking the RAM though, if that's what you meant. The 2500k only supports up to 1333-rated RAM, so if the second pair of sticks I get is at least that fast or faster (the GSkills are 1600), it shouldn't matter: all 4 sticks will run...

    4 sticks of RAM: do they all need to be identical?

    I've got 2x4GB sticks of Gskill RAM in my PC atm, which keeps throwing errors in Memtest86+ so it needs to be RMA'ed. Since I don't want my computer to be out of commission until Gskill sends me new sticks, I decided to buy another 2x4GB set to keep me going, and then when I get new Gskill...

    Portable battery packs

    Yeah, I'll probably play it safe and go with Anker, thanks all. I saw some other brands going for cheap elsewhere, and I was just checking to see if there's any brands I should steer clear of, but better the devil you know, got Anker replacement batteries for my last 2 phones (Desire Z and...

    Portable battery packs

    I'm planning to buy one of those, does anyone have a brand to recommend, or know of one I should avoid?

    Special need for a laptop that runs COOL

    Well yeah, of course they sell regular laptops, it's not a big enough country to make its own custom liquid hydrogen cooled laptops! :p But everyone has troubles, things break down and get heat damaged or just switch themselves off if you run them too long and too hot. My old Acer lappy started...

    Special need for a laptop that runs COOL

    I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I have a special requirement: I need to be able to take it back home to Cyprus and use it in 45C heat without it melting! I thought about simply looking for ULV laptops, but from what I've seen by looking at machines in stores, many manufacturers use the...

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    SIM-unlocked Verizon developer's edition. Don't worry, I'm sure yours is coming too, but if you can't wait there's loads of leaked firmware on XDA-developers. BTW pausing a video recording works as advertised and I noticed the camera adjusting slightly faster to going from a well-lit to a...

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    I got a notification of an update this morning, I assume that's 4.4.3. Havent' installed yet, looking for a changelog first EDIT: Turns out it was 4.4.4. Seems I skipped 4.4.2! :p Claims to have camera improvements too but I haven't noticed anything different yet.

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    I'm really confused s about my phone, it seems Google maps has lost the ability to do turn by turn navigation! When I choose a destination abs tap the little car icon in the bottom right I get sent to "preview" the route. The triangular navigate button is completely gone and I have no way to...

    Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

    I've noticed this too, the fashion now is for espresso to be so astringent it dissolves your teeth, because that's the only thing that punches through the amounts of milk people like in their drinks, and for brewed coffees to be delicate, floral, and transparent, because apparently the judges...

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    I'm sure I saw the words "replaceable back cover" in one of the marketing blurbs on motorola's site? If not I'll just content myself to getting a nice-looking bumper :p I'm really enjoying some of the sillier camera features like slo-mo video and burst mode btw. Makes for some funny pet...

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    So is there anywhere you can buy replacement backs for this apart from Motorola's own store? I'm looking to get rid of the verizon logo at the back of mine! :p

    Nice turn-based RPG for Android?

    Any suggestions? I played Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land a while ago and I feel like something similar. That was a good little turn-based party rpg. Very cheesy dialogue but solid mechanics and decent user interface. I might also enjoy a roguelike of some description, though my experiences...

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    If you need 4G you'll need to get the AT&T/T-Mobile version (also might be listed as the "GSM version"). I'm not sure how things stand in terms of SIM-unlocking, so you'd better get a Developer Edition. The Verizon version also works over here, but not in 4G. Considering how cheap the 16GB...

    The anime thread sequel (it's still not as good as the Manga though),

    Saw Patema Inverted at the film festival here, I'm surprised they need a kickstarter to bring it out on BD! Looked like a big budget film, very polished, so you'd think they would have the budget to release a disc version too. I thought it was very good as well, full of twists and perspective...

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    I think it's to do with the glass and the display being so close to each other. I peer at the sides of the screen and can't see a gap at all. If the distance between the glass and the display is so small refraction will be lower, so visibility in bright light will be better. I have no idea if...

    Yeah that's the most sensible way to do it.

    Google-Motorola "X Phone" in the 2013 pipeline?

    Oh thanks for that, was looking for a way to drop video resolution! Now I need to figure out how to make it launch by default when I shake the phone.
