Apple or Android, what do you use?
Apple vs Android BlackBerry vs Windows Phone Mac vs PC Intel vs AMD nVidia vs AMD Firefox vs Chrome Internet Explorer vs Safari Facebook vs Twitter Xbox vs PlayStation PC vs Console Fender vs Gibson Ford vs Chevy Can we all please just get along? Everything has its strong points and everything has its weak points. I'm really tired of this stigma people have towards one brand over the other and how people use it as an excuse to force it on others *dismount soap box.*

Apple or Android, what do you use?
I use both. I have a 4th Gen iPod touch--jailbroken--though it hasn't gotten much use since I got my Droid (an HTC One V.) I also have an Asus TF300T Transformer with the keyboard dock. Both phone and tablet are on ICS and the iPod is still on 5.1.1. I like Android for the customization, less clunky notification center, and less clunky app switching and management. I like iOS for the better default mail app and (sometimes) better stability. I haven't seen enough of an incentive to upgrade to iOS 6--despite there being a jailbreak for it--since there hasn't really been any worthwhile change usability and featurewise. Part of me wants to root my phone and put Jelly Bean on it, just I'd need to find where the files for Beats Audio and the adaptive autobrightness are kept so that I could copy those over on stock JB. Personally I wish there were more pro grade audio interface apps for Android though.

Yet Another Thread About Building a Computer
thunderbolt294 replied to thunderbolt294's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcLooking at the benchmark graphs on nVidia's website, the jump between the 670 and the 660 Ti is marginal compared to the jump from the 660 to the 660 Ti. From the graph it also appears that the 660 Ti (stock) edges out the 580. I did measurements of my desk relative to the size of the monitor I plan on buying, and it looks like I won't be fitting more than 1 monitor on there :wacko2: Also, is there any difference in overclockabilty between the 2500K and the 2600K?

Yet Another Thread About Building a Computer
thunderbolt294 replied to thunderbolt294's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcAfter doing some reading, I see that IB has a heat issue when pushed to +-4.5GHz. So I've decided to go with a 2600K instead of a 3770K, which also adds some reduction in total cost. Here's what I've come up with using your suggestions as a starting point: Intel i7 2600K @3.4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070 ASUS P8Z77-PRO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131819 Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) @2133 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233245 EVGA 02G-P4-3664-KR GTX 660 Ti FTW Signature2 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130837 OCZ Agility 4 128GB SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227807 WD 1TB Caviar Black 7200RPM 64MB Cache http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 Corsair H100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181017 Corsair HX750 Modular PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010 Corsair Carbide 400R Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139008 Lite-On CD-DVD Drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106276 ASUS VS238H-P 23 inch 1080p monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236175 One thing I should have mentioned from the start is that I'll probably be buying what ever the final revision of this is about 3 months down the road. A question regarding nV cards and multi monitor set ups: Is it possible to get an Eyefinity style experience with 3 monitors on a single card, or does it require SLi-ing still?

Yet Another Thread About Building a Computer
I haven't posted here in ages and I finally got a job ($7.80 USD an hour for 15 hours a week.) I've been long due for a new computer (see specs in my sig) and I'm thinking about either going with an ASUS G75VW gaming laptop for $1250+tax and stuff, so about $1300, or building a computer for the equivalent price (including monitor, keyboard, case and Windows... And possibly wifi card.) Along with gaming I'm also gonna be processing and storing large amounts of raw audio. Just something to keep in mind. I do plan on overclocking, though. What I've got so far is: Intel i7-3770K Ivy Bridge @3.5GHz: $300 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819116501 ASUS P8Z77-V PRO: $200 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131819 Or MSI Z77A-GD65: $150 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813130643 GPU: I'm not sure yet, I may add more monitors later on, so AMD Eyefinity looks tempting compared to having to SLi two cards for a third monitor in extended desktop mode. RAM: Pretty much what ever a good speed and priced 8 or 16GB set is. Storage: I'm thinking about an SSD for Windows, possibly one for games, and a big platter drive. Case: What ever will fit everything, has airflow and won't break the bank. Cooling: :help: Monitor: ASUS and Samsung appear to have some of the cheapest priced 22 inch 1080p monitors I've found. And I think that's it for now. Remember, my budget is $1300 USD.

Normal to not show overclock in Windows?
thunderbolt294 replied to AWACS's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcPut the computer under some stress, the clock will jump right up.And a note: In Control Panel>System the clock displayed is the stock clock only, it will not show any over clocks.

Have you tried clearing the Shader Cache? (Located in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX")

Well there's your problem. FSWC doesn't technically support Shader Model 3.Also what was the last thing you changed/added when the problem started?
