Hi guys,
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out a solution to my trouble regarding bandwidth allocation for each port on my Actiontec MI424WR router. I have Frontier FIOs 25mb/s service and have completed several speed test verifying that I am indeed receiving the full bandwidth advertised...
Hello all,
Unfortunately, I was cranking along the other day with my Alienware M18x just fine and dandy when all of a sudden, my video artifacted out BADLY and crashed.
Afterwards, I would not post no matter how much I tried. So unfortunately was led to the conclusion that it likely was...

I am wanting to purchase a few HDD in excellent condition. I am really only interested in large capacity drives only (1GB or greater). Both externals and internals are acceptable but I would prefer that they are usb 3 compatible. I am completely open to prices and would consider competitive...
Someone gave me a "broken" yet brand new gtx 260. Turns out, the only thing broken is the fan itself, not even the heatsink is harmed. Rather than spend more than i'm willing for an after market solution, I want to jury rig it.
I intend to simply remove the casing around the cooler, and...
I'm looking to buy an Accerlo Xtreme cooler for a 4870x2 (HSF type, no waterblocks). I'd like to be able to cool my 4870x2 a tad better with less noise. I would like one either new or used as long as the used is in good condition.
Please PM me with price.
Thanks for looking

I considering the purchase of a G13 to replace my keyboard for gaming.
You see, I game on my 46in TV and like to sit about 4 feet away. I recently decided to go all out and ditch my desk and chair completely and bought a big comfy recliner which places me the perfect distance away from my...

Hi all,
I recently purchased a 4870x2 ($195) with the hopes that my 750watt 4 rail 12v+ 18A per rail (dell make) would be just sufficient enough to run well. However, while playing various games with settings cranked up, I have experienced several power downs which has lead me to believe...
So, I just received my 4870x2 and was told that he would ship it with all of the power adapters. He accidentally sent me 2 6 pin molex adapters however and my power supply only has 2 6 pins connectors already. Since the 4870x2 requires a 6 pin and an 8 pin, I went to buy a molex-to-pci-e...
I just received my 4870 x2 and wanted to gather the consensus of the forum concerning driver installation.
I intended to just reformat one of my harddrives for the installation of the 4870x2 to avoid any driver conflicts but wanted to see if others find it just as successful to install it...
Heres the deal
I am in a bit of a pickle currently as my budget is low and I wanted to hold out before upgrading. The problem is, my 8800GT just blew up and I need a replacement card.
Take into consideration that this is only a hold over card. I intend to build a new system all together...
So I've been a member of this forum for a decent amount of time and I have come to respect the members here for their level of expertise (some of the members anyways ;) ). Still; it seems that there is quite a deal of favoritism toward either ATI or Nvidia. I thought it would be kind of...
There seems to be like 85 threads concerning the 5770 and whether or not it is to be considered enthusiast or mainstream. So, I wanted to gather to concensus of the group to help shed light on 5770's status amongst hardware buffs in this forum.
Vote away please and comment if you desire
I hear a lot of people bitching about the new art direction that Borderlands has taken on. So I thought i'd post a poll to see how people feel about this new art direction as a whole.
I personally love the new art direction. Prior to the switch, the game looked like most games released in...
I just got done finishing Kotor for the first time (*gasp* I know I should have gotten to it earlier) and I am highly interested in trying The Sith Lords. Bioware developed the first one (probably my favorite developer) and Obsidian was tasked with The Sith Lords. I feel that Obsidian is decent...
I'm searching for a new mouse pad to accent my Sidewinder X8 and wanted to get some suggestions. Im currently using a XPS pad that came with my brother's dell and though it is alright, Im hoping to find a better quality surface.
I use my mouse at very high sensitivity and usually pivot my...
I am in the market immediately for a new video card. The problem is, I want to be able to step that card up when the new lines are released. Ive heard that many of the companies making nvidia based products have fantastic customer service. So, I thought i'd post a thread to gather data on who...

Hello all
Been a gamer for few years now but my primary system was destroyed in an electrical malfunction. I am now using my old p4 dell which has 1 gb ram and a FX 5500 in it (going back to this from SLI 8800GT's was a bitch) so as you can probably guess, I cannot play anything remotely...
Hello All,
I have been skimming through the various "Post Your Setup" threads and have noticed that many of you have been fortunate enough to find a desk with wealth of space available. My old set up contained a 32inch LCD and took up most of my desk space. I do not care much for the...
Here is the story
Yesterday I went to switch my powerstrip containing my computer and tv/monitor to a different outlet so that I could plug my airconditioner in and not blow a circuit breaker.
Apparently the socket that I plugged my very expensive items into was bad and it caused a short...

I am wondering what the general consensus on the Razer Lachesis mouse is as I am looking to possible purchase one.
I previously bought a G5 and it caused my hand to cramp up. It was too small for my hand and the ergonomics, due to size, didn't fit my hand at all.
Ive heard the Razer...
I just sold my G5 mouse as the ergonomics of the design caused my hand to cramp badly. Ive tried the MX Revolution and really like the feel of it.
I can get a really decent price on one refurbished and was wondering what the general consensus on refurbished mice was. Should I have an...

So ill start, I myself prefer hard copies as I...
As excited and trigger happy I have been about this 4th Q title release season, one question goes unanswered. I would like to know the general consensus of COD:WaW before I go buy a copy of it for PC. I loved COD4, 3 sucked, if that helps.
Is the 5th installment of the COD series a winner...
Building a new pc for my brother for gaming and he just informed me that the budget was decreased to $1600. I was considering a i7 system but with the decrease in budget and the fact that he doesnt even want to wait that long, Recommend to me the best Nvidia board, (790i's too expensive right...
