I bought a new laptop for home, an ASUS G551JW with an I7-4720HQ, 8GB RAM, and upgraded it to a Mushkin 240GB SSD drive with a clean install of Windows 10. After doing so the performance is great but oddly when in day to day applications it is not as fast as my work laptop. Opening and...

Looking for a cheap router (new) that can run DD-WRT. Any good recommendations?

I am sitting playing a game and I hear a noise inside my computer, like something fell. Five seconds later it shuts down. Open it up and the CPU heat sink and fan are lying loose. Turns out one of the lugs on the black plastic socket that the heatsink and fan clamp on to broke off. Has...

My current gaming system runs well, but isn't the newest. However I am still gaming on a 19" monitor and would like something a little bigger and some more features. My wife really wants an all in one PC and unfortunately they don't do gaming well. I'm not a serious hard core gamer, only time...

This is not school related nor am I a student. I have the need to write an application for Windows that will run as a service. It will need to utilize networking so TCPIP support or network objects are needed. It also needs to be able to be compiled to an EXE and DLL files (if the later is...

I have searcher and posted on VM-Help.com and thought I would try here as well. I have a 30GB USB hard drive and ESXi booting from it. There is of course about 27GB of wasted space on it that I wish ESXi could use for a datastore so I could take a few VMs with me. Has anyone got it working?

My brother in laws video card is dying and needs replacement. Currently he has a 1900GT in his system and for the light gaming he does it has worked fine. Because it is an older system it would not make sense to put a 4850 or the like in it. I was thinking the 4650 because the 1900GT seems...

Although an All-In-One PC would be wonderful they cannot have the upgraded graphics capability I would want. To be honest, the only thing I want is a case that I can put one hard drive, one DVD drive, and have the ability to upgrade the graphics card in. Right now I have an Antec micro ATX...

I don't have a connection on my TV for getting video straight to the TV from the computer. I do have media streaming of videos on the computer. Is there a way to download Hulu video to the PC so I can stream it to the TV? And before everyone jumps out, Orbit Downloader doesn't work.

I have an Athlon X2 5200+ and do not OC at all. I don't like how loud the stock AMD cooler is, so, any ideas for a silent, or super quiet one that is reasonably priced?

Wanted to get opinions on a build I am considering. The total price is what I am looking to spend but I am not sure it will be the performer I hope it to be. Thoughts? ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler $36.99 OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W...

Still new in package Goofed and bought an S2 for my 4850 and it won't work. I know the 'Egg' has them for $19.99 but you have to add shipping. I will sell for $20 shipped in US with PayPal payment.

Right now I have an Antec case with a quiet 120mm fan and another quiet 90mm one. The GPU has a silent cooler however the CPU fan is louder than I would like. I have an AMD X2 5000+ with the stock HS fan on it. I know there are aftermarket HS fans out there but I wanted to know about a...

Years ago I bought a license for Magic ISO and used it. Upgraded regularly as it is included in the license. Well, after getting to version 5.4.248 I have been unable to upgrade. Every time I try the application no longer accepts my license key. Odd, that the newest version that I can use...

My wife and I were looking at a new monitor and she really like the 25.5" Westinghouse, as do I. However, my system (in sig), an Athlon X2 5000 and ATI 4850 may not have the horsepower to game that high. So, if it isn't enough the next question would be if anyone knows if the monitor can...

Anyone heard of this CPU and know if it is any good? I know it's a single core and very low power draw but don't know anything else. Also, know if there are higher speed brethren to it?

I got screwed by Newegg and the post office. The DHL to USPS shipping method burned me because the post office "delivered" the package even though they admit they don't know where. Anyway, Newegg has been diddle dallying for over a month with a claim and no results. I am disputing with CC...

Looking for a tool that will log changes to AD and be able to produce a report of who made the change, when, and what they did. Doesn't have to be able to back out the change or do anything else. I know NetIQ, Quest, and a few other large players make stuff but I don't need something that...

Looking to learn more about computer forensics, specifically crime investigation, data recovery, and hacking. Looking for books with a good technical background and technical how to aimed at computer professionals. Web sites that have good information would be good too. Anyone know of some...

OK, darn cat knocked one of our laptops off the table and it is shot. I was an 8 year old Dell and not worth fixing. So we need a new one. Nothing fancy, we use them in the various rooms to browse, small stuff, no gaming. We don't travel with them either. Looking for something with at...

I got this as a gift over a year ago and tried it, but lost interest. Includes original box, CD, language disc, manuals, and license agreement. MISSING HEADSET. You can pick one up cheap though or use a gaming one you already have. $150 Shipped in Cont US with Pay Pal payment. I have...

Can anyone recommend a, preferably, silent cooler for a 4850 or if none are available a super quiet one? I have a Sapphire 4850 and it is loud. I don't OC at all and I have a 92mm fan that blows air from the front outside across the GPU and HD then out the back via 120mm fan so I have good...

I know there were some apps to control fan speeds on the older ATI cards but I cannot find anything to control the fan speeds on a 4850. Anyone know of anything? I'd like it to lower the fan speed a bit when it isn't in 3D mode to quiet the system down a bit.

AMD Athlon X2 4600+ Windsor core with retail heat sink and fan. $45 + Shipping MSI HD 3850 OC 256MB PCI-E card. Factory OC'd. $55 + Shipping I'll sell both for $100 including shipping in the Continental US with PayPal payment. My eBay ID is mt_100 and I have good feedback there and on...

I have a Dell laptop I use at work in tha KVM and have tried thee KVMs with the same problem When I switch to the desktop on the KV is fine. However when I change to the laptop the screen resolution on my monitor goes from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 for a second then reverts back to the resolution...

I am looking for the easiest distro to get up and running as a Linux terminal server. It should have the client OS parts included so that they don't have to be built separate. If anyone knows of a current white paper online that we be great.

Does any one know of a free Windows Terminal Server? Nothing stolen or hacked, legitimately free. Or, if there is a free option for diskless Windows over the network. I found the SWIM server but it isn't going to work in a large environment.

My wife has said I can upgrade my graphics card to a new one but I have a HARD $110 limit. That includes shipping. My current card is a MSI 3850 256mb OC and my monitor is a 19" 1280x1024 and I game at that resolution or 1024x768 if I have to. Although I love to game I am not hard core, just...

Looking for my annual X-Mas upgrade for graphics and wanted to see what folks thought. First, specs and background. AMD 4800+ 3GB DDR 800 Windows XP Micro ATX Antec case with 380 PSU. 19" LCD with gaming done at 1280 x 1024 and like it, no need for more monitor. Games: FEAR...

I'd like to replace my current internal and external hard drives with one larger one. I'm looking for something in the $60 - $80 range shipped and size wise around 400 - 500GB and SATA. It doesn't have to be #1 in performance although quiet and reliable are important. I game but not...

I just can't get used to the controls on those darn controllers. I really wish the 360 would give true keyboard and mouse controls on games as a lot of the games for it are sweet. Does anyone think the console makers will give us true keyboard and mouse controls like the PC in the next...

I loved the Splinter Cell, Hitman, and Thief games for PC and that style of stealthy sneak up and kill someone style. I also liked games where accuracy counted. Are there other games worth playing in the style?

I currently use an older version of MuvAudio to convert my music (purchased from Rhapsody legally) to MP3 files without DRM on them because my player doesn't support it and Rhapsody's software is a pain in the ass. I don't like that it installs the Virtual Audio Cables and then has to play...

Found this deal since I am looking for a new MP3 player in the 4GB size range. Seems like a good price but they are backordered. Here is a link. http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?product=15306 Anyone know of another DRM capapable player for a good price in that size? Must be...

I have had this monitor for years and it seems to work OK with one problem. It makes a very annoying high pitch noise a lot, especially when certain colors are being displayed like a lot of black. I have tried DVI connection and it seems to do it worse than when on VGA so I am back to that. I...

Time to re-evaluate the tools I use since the versions are a little old and one of them is my trusty text editor and scripting writer. I use UltraEdit32 for this and it works well but I heard there may be better tools out there. I have heard of PrimalScript Professional but the $280 price tag...

Database had a problem and I duped the post.

Does anyone use the HD audio on these cards or are you still using your sound cards?

I saw the ECS 9600GT OC with a silent cooler and liked the idea but need to know the dimensions and can't find them anywhere. I have a Q-Pack and the graphics card is under the PSU and I don't know if the ECS card is too tall or not. Anyone know?
