Since we're talking power supplies, can someone please explain why these two Chieftec units are ranked 4th and 9th on the list (the 450W- $100 and the 500W- $105)? Why are they significantly cheaper than everything else on this list? http://www.newegg.com/?s=chieftec

I'm not buying anything right now; I'm just asking because I've started scouting out parts for my future build.

And I thought
Basically—when it dies—it takes the whole system down with it.

Thomas Martin4 said:Look, here’s the thing... using a low-quality power supply means you're basically gambling that when it fails, it won't take the rest of your components down with it. High-end units come with protection circuits that aren't perfect, sure, but they're leagues safer than those budget models. Quality parts cost money, and those parts are what ensure the unit stays reliable and protects your rig over the long haul. They also handle heavy loads much better. For example, a Corsair VX450W could often pull up to 600W if needed, whereas cheap knock-offs might claim 400W on the box but can never actually deliver that much...

So what am I looking at with my ATX unit—is it really that bad? This PC was a significant investment back in the day.
If the label says 400W (and we have to factor in its age), what is the actual real-world capacity? Could it realistically provide 330W? Or maybe even 300W?

I have a quick question regarding power supplies. I constantly hear people talking about high-quality brands and what they call "real" 400W or 500W units. What exactly is the deal with those cheaper power supplies? Is it true they don't actually deliver the wattage listed on the label?

To give you some context, I'm currently running an old LC- b400ATX Max 400w for my entire setup.

Also, if a power supply is low-quality or underpowered, what's the actual fallout? Does it just burn itself out, or does it take the CPU, GPU, and other components down with it?

Man, I could honestly say this is one of the best films ever made.
But if you ask me, there’s really nothing left to decipher about the ending—it’s pretty straightforward, and everything clicks perfectly by the final act (even if it keeps you guessing right up until the finish line).

What’s the actual deal with DDR2 versus DDR3 memory (aside from the price tag)—is it even a meaningful difference? Where am I actually going to feel that gap, like in gaming or something?
Also, what's the real-world difference between 800MHz and 1066MHz? Is that anything to worry about, or does it even matter?

I was scrolling through some analysis sites earlier—checking out their head-to-head stats and all that jazz—and they’re leaning toward x. But honestly, since it’s an LP situation, they might just push it through, making that x2 on Udinese at 1.20 look like a total lock.
Arsenal, both Manchester teams, and what’s your take on Tottenham? They really ought to pull it off, but they just seem so lackluster and uninspiring lately that I can't bring myself to put them on any serious parlays.

Is it actually realistic to think Udinese pulls off an away win against Catania?

Give me a break. Does an essential band like this really record an album in America? 😲

Link?

Thanks a ton, guys!
Now I really need to get my act together; everyone seems to be watching my every move, and honestly, I’m just not feeling up to downloading anything right now.🙂

EDIT—Starter is definitely out. The only reason I'm even considering Professional over Home Premium is because of Remote Desktop Connection and Windows XP mode, though I probably won't even end up using them.

So, can this processor http://ark.intel.com/products/59570/...Cache-1_50-GHz)
It lists a 64-bit
instruction set. Will 32-bit programs actually run on it if I can't find a 64-bit version? From what I've read, they work in about 98% of cases.
In theory, running 64-bit software shouldn't slow the computer down—if anything, it should perform better if there's a 64-bit version available. Of course, there might be some specific 32-bit apps that just won't launch.

Also, if I have a choice, which version of Windows should I install? Home, Professional...
I just need it for basic everyday stuff—Office, web browsing, watching movies, maybe a light game or two. Nothing heavy-duty.

Hey everyone, I have a question regarding Windows 7—is the 32-bit and 64-bit version included on the same DVD, or do I actually need to go out and buy the 64-bit version specifically?
Basically, my laptop has 4 GB of RAM, and I’m aware that a 32-bit system won't be able to utilize all of that memory...
My specs are a B800 processor (Sandy Bridge, dual-core 1.5GHz) and integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics.
I've also heard that dealing with bit architecture can be a headache since, just like any other software, you have to hunt down specific 64-bit versions of everything you want to run.🤷
What are your thoughts?

Kyle Johnson2 said:Your explanation is a bit fuzzy. It might help if you posted a screenshot of the issue. In the meantime, try running a VBA macro on the page, but make sure you do it on a copy of the document first.

It honestly feels like this can't be controlled; it just does whatever it wants. It makes zero sense to me why half of a footnote would jump to the next page when there is clearly enough room on this one—why can't it just automatically nudge everything up slightly (like moving that separator line above the footnotes)? It actually does that sometimes, which is what I want.
Whatever, let it be how it will be.

The point is, I can't believe how buggy, stupid, and illogical this software is. 🙂 It is massively overrated. Is there an actual patch for this? 🤣
I swear, I should just write everything in a plain text document.

For example:
When the text shifts and I try to move it back, a heading will stubbornly insist on sitting four or five lines down. No matter what I attempt, it won't go to the first line; instead, it jumps to the top of the page or halfway down 😠

Then, occasionally, a solid black bar will appear across a whole line—not a highlight, but a total blackout where you can't see anything underneath—along with a million other irritating glitches.

And then, when I'm working on the Table of Contents, I follow every step perfectly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkyisWIE3kQ only to have a full page of intro text shoved between the first heading and its dots, followed by more dots and then the page number 😕 I simply cannot get a handle on this thing... plus a million other headaches.

Anyway, can someone just tell me one thing: how do I prevent the first couple of pages containing the Table of Contents from being numbered, while starting the numbering at Page 1 on the following pages? Back in Word 2003, I knew how to skip numbering on the first page (even if it took me a minute to figure it out).

Hey everyone, how can I adjust the maximum length for footnotes? Right now, half of my footnote keeps spilling over onto the next page, even though I’ve definitely seen documents where footnotes take up more than half a page without breaking

Kyle Johnson2 said:Why don't you upload a downloadable snippet of that document so we can actually see what we're dealing with?

Look, just highlight whatever you're copying in Word. For instance, when I grab something from a site like https://www.osha.gov

I ended up fixing it myself—just hit that last click on the icon with the "A" and the eraser to clear all formatting.

I remember being able to set Word 2003 to ignore formatting entirely during a paste, but I finally figured out the modern way to handle it.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

How can I stop that annoying blue background from showing up behind my text whenever I paste something?

Stumbled upon some gems on YouTube recently—mostly unreleased tracks and B-sides, if you can call them that.

They’ve got that charming 8-bit sound, but it isn't grating at all. They have plenty of other material out there, but these two are definitely the most listenable for me.

Also found this cover on YT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvlGu...ure=plpp_video

swiftcrane96 said:Hey, just check out this link: http://www.online-image-editor.com/.

There's an upload area on the bottom left. Once you've got it uploaded, just hit resize at the top, and then you should see the option to input the dimensions down in that bottom left corner again 😉. I think you wanted 😁 75x75, right?

Thanks, it's a solid site.

It looks like Photoscape isn't working, or I just haven't figured it out yet.

swiftcrane96 said:You did a great job resizing that yourself instead of letting Reddit handle it automatically. If you just let the site resize things on its own, you lose all that smooth animation effect 🤣

I had to resize it myself using some basic photo editor since I don't have access to Photoshop right now.🤷
