Unfortunately, this is over simplifying the problem. Doing such a task would be incredibly daunting. First, how do you handle data synchronization across the cards? PCI-Express is fast, but not nearly as fast as local VRAM. Synchronizing information across the cards would be very difficult...

The problem is in Xinerama and the Nvidia drivers not the card itself. You can do 3 screens with Xinerama but you will give up 3d acceleration. The best dual monitor functionality for Nvidia under linux is using Twinview which I believe somehow uses or emulates Xinerama's features but only for...

Interested in the GTX 260. PM sent... Daniel

It would be a bad idea to use an UPS. This was mentioned earlier. An UPS is used to keep a computer on long enough to turn it off. They don't use the most expensive or efficient batteries either. There is no way an UPS would do it. I remember trying to chain together UPS on my work computer...

The data speeds are too slow for a modern MMO. Besides, even if it were fast enough... the latency would be through the roof. This is satellite communications, Electro Magnetic Waves take time to travel between an iridium handset and the satellite. I wonder what he is using for service in...

Anyone talking trash on Klipsch (other than the well deserved trash talk from the promedia fiasco) should take the opportunity to listen to some of the Klipsch Heritage series. This is truly, truly a sad day...

Replace a couple burnt components and upgrade cooling for. Total money spend is less than $100. Just sayin... Granted, I can do the repair on my own. So, that may set me apart from a few of the people with this dilemna. Honestly, I wish I could afford to replace these speakers. I'd just...

For me, it isn't so much about being attached to the two 8" subs and sub box. It is about the $$$ involved. I bought this non-functioning but complete and in near mint condition Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra Set for $60 locally!!! Now for a small amount of effort and money, I can make them...

Does anyone know what the specs are on the thermistor in the power supply? It is labelled TH501 on the AC/DC converter board. Mine is clearly cracked and damaged. I was also wondering if anyone has a list of components on the daughter board. I want to order the parts before I desolder and pull...

Thank You!!!!!! Daniel

I believe the GT 430 is capable of bitstreaming and I know it is HDMI 1.4 capable. Just read the HardOCP review to make certain on the bit streaming. Daniel

The reviewer did mention the previous issue. He did not discuss them in detail or harp over them. Though, I do feel it could have been emphasized better. I also would've liked some objective information about the card. However, I still think the reviewer did a fair job. Granted, I'm more...

Numbers do represent sound. The numbers are a good way to confirm what you are hearing. If something sounds strange, THD and IMD numbers are useful tools to identify the cause of what you are hearing. Now, numbers without sound are not very useful. It is impossible to describe the sound through...

IIRC, neither XBMC or Boxee support hardware decoding in Windows XP. You have to use Vista, 7, or LInux for that. I use Boxee and its pretty easy to use. Daniel

Step one... don't use speakers with foam surrounds :-p Seriously though, replacing drivers with different alternative drivers takes careful planning and execution. You have to consider the crossover as well as the design of the enclosure. Daniel
