Home sharing on iPhone

NeRzhUl — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 02:36:59 +0800

I'm running a Windows 7 PC connected to a router via ethernet cable. How do I set it up so that my PC can detect my iPhone on iTunes and also how to make it that home sharing works. Currently no devices are detected on my homesharing network. The strange thing is, that my sister who connects via Wifi says she can see my library on her iTunes, but I can't see hers or any other for that matter.

HELP! Windows 7 frequently freezes

NeRzhUl — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:26:44 +0800

I need help here. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. I keep getting random freezes that completely locks the computer out of any interface devices. Keyboards and mice don't respond and my only option is to press the reset button and reboot. Could it be software problem or hardware problem?

My hardware is as below:
Intel Core i 750
MSI P55 GD65
2x 2GB Team Elite DDR3 RAM
MSI R5850
1TB WD Black Caviar
Casing is Storm Scout with 1 additional fan
CPU cooler is CM Hyper 212+ with an additional 90mm fan
PSU is Vantec Ion 2+ 700W

Is upgrade from a foreign uni valid in Malaysia?

Hi. I've got a friend studying in Melbourne U who is willing to get me Windows 7 at about 60AUD( Its legit, from the Uni, special price for students). The question i'm wondering is whether we will be able to install it in Malaysia or whether it has some sort of protection system. And also, does the upgrade version have the same install rights as a Retail Pack?

Hey I need your help. My Dell Inspiron 6400 which runs at 1.66Ghz only seems to run at 1Ghz when I check under CPU-Z. How do I go about solving this problem?

Core 2-->Core i5-->Core i7

Interesting observation I just made.
You see in September of this year, our government gonna introduce new petrol standard, RON95 at cheaper price than our current RON97. RON95 will replace RON92, and RON97 price will increase and be classified as a premium product. RON95 offers performance boost over RON 92 but is inferior compared to RON97

INTEL is going to realease Core i5 in September to replace the Core 2 as its mainstream product. It's gonna be cheaper than the Core i7 and some of the Core 2 Quads. The Core i7 is going to be a premium product and the price is going to be high. Core i5 also performs better than Core 2 but is inferior compared to Core i7.

Coincidence? I think not!

Intel to release 6 core processor this year.

6-core Nehalem coming to LGA 1366 this year

Yup. Guys who worry about the future about your X58s, worry no more. Here comes the monster chip. Gonna burn your wallet though. More expensive than core i7 975 EE.

Building a Core i5 system

NeRzhUl — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:24:34 +0800

Hi all. Just wanna get your opinion about the topic above.
I plan to build a new computer and seeing that Ati and Intel are both going to release their new chips around September and Microsoft releasing Windows 7 around October, I delayed the build till December.

The build I plan to get is like this
Lynnfield (Core i5)- 2.66Ghz version (I know this version has no HT, but it's gonna be cheaper than a Core 2 Quad Q9400)
P55 Motherboard- Hopefully cheaper than the cheapest X58
RAM- 4GB Kingston DDR3 Value Ram 1333Mhz- At current market price about RM230+-
Graphics Card- Ati Radeon 5870 or 5850- Whichever will be placed at the RM800~1000 price
HDD- Western Digital 500GB/640GB- See how. Think I'll get the 640GB model about RM215 now
Casing- Cooler Master Elite~ Cheapo Casing to keep in budget
PSU- Corsair TX650- At current market price about RM440
Monitor- Benq T2200HD~RM500- Hope price drop also
Speaker-Logitech R20~RM89
Logitech Keyboard and Mouse combo~RM90

As it is I estimate the price of this system will be just below RM4000
And yes I need a monitor, speaker, mouse and keyboard because I am currently using a laptop, so need everything. The whole set.
Please give your comments and opinion. Oh and I don't plan to use AMD. Got personal reasons.
