Anyone ever had a chance to compare the ORIGINAL 2490 to the new 241W? I know the second version 2490 dropped in quality and left much to be desired. Wondering about this newer model..

Will the TRAD2 cooler fit on a GTS 450? I currently have it mounted on my GTS 250, which somehow was damaged in a move and totally gave out 3 months later. I really want to be able to keep the cooler as the system runs super cool and the Scythe fans I have mounted are *silent*.

It's been a really long time since I've done any research on displays so I thought I'd check in before making my next purchase. I am looking to buy a new monitor (preferably IPS but PVA possible) for under $500. Ideally, $300 or under but I know there are some tempting options around $400. Is...

I have someone trying to convince me that fan speed and CPU usage are connected.. more specifically that CPU running at 100% usage during a game was caused by fan failure. This does not logically make any sense to me. Fan speed effects temperature, which can effect performance but not raw usage..

My understanding is that the newer Modxtreme Pro OCZ line as well as the Z series do not suffere the same ripple problems that the gamextreme built on FSP Epsilon does.. true? Did they never fix their Gamextreme line?

In XP, customizing start menus for each user was as simple as deciding which links go under the different start menu folders.. either the default one for all to see, or individual user folders for only one user to see. In Windows 7 there are no separate start menu folders and I cannot seem for...

I have a PC running Windows 7 and my friend is having problems with her Macbook. I want to plug in her hard drive into my dock and pull the data off using my computer. I know the dock works fine with her hard drive, but I have never tried to read a hard drive using a MAC OS on a Windows PC. It...

It seems like Lian Li has decided not to make any more silver cases. Has anyone seen any official word on this decision?

I'm wondering what people generally think is the best ghosting software out there. Personally, I've successfully used Acronis Migrate Easy 7, but I've heard people say they think Acronis has gone down hill. I've only used it to clone XP drives in the past, and now I have Windows 7 so maybe...

What exactly does the -12V rail power? I can never find any info on the -12V and -5V rails.

I'm not really sure where I should post this, but I think this is as good as any. When I try to download drivers from Realtek I get the error "530 login incorrect". What is going on?

I'm about at my witt's end. After fighting with inferior consumer grade USB adapter after another, I finally found the CISCO AIR-PI21AG adapter. This thing is.. was.. great. Much faster, solid connection, no drops. Perfect. Well, when I upgraded my computer I found it wasn't compatible with my...

When Intel first came out with their Gen 2 drivers, they were supposed to be releasing a larger 300GB drive along with it. However, the larger storage solution was scrapped pretty much last minute, and it was mentioned that they'd be holding off releasing larger drives until first half of 2010...

My system as always been rock stable. Then last night the system in my sig randomly decided to reboot. I had accidentally started a wireless driver installation which I killed mid-process not too much earlier, and all I was doing at the time was going to click on a web page.. I didn't think it...

Logically, it would seem the 5600+ cpu should be more powerful but how much more? Basically, the back story is someone I know is trying to play a game that relies more on the CPU than anything else. We're talking about a game where going from a AMD 6400+ to an E8400 increases FPS by about 11...

So, my understanding is that with LGA 1156, the IGP will now be a part of the CPU, and not the motherboard? But also that the H5x boards will provide advantage to the IGP over the P5x and via versa - they each have their own specs designed for each. I hope I am not understanding correctly...

For a long time there was some pretty serious speculation that P55 would be getting a refresh/some updates shortly after release.. mainly first part of 2010. So we know yet if this is for sure happening? It really makes a difference if I start suggesting to people to go ahead with their i5...

I received notice from the cable company that they are upgrading to 3.0. Currently I have a 2.0 Linksys Cable Modem + WRT54G + Cisco WMP200 adapter. I need to upgrade to a 3.0 Cable Modem, and figure it's a good time to upgrade the rest too. Suggestions? I would think it would be better to have...

I promised myself I wouldn't do this, but I'm out of patience and just want a monitor I can enjoy for a while. I just sold my Sager for $2k because I have too many bills to pay to have that thing sitting around collecting dust. I'm still putting half of it towards its intended purpose but if I...

I had Windows 7 Ultimate RC100 on my laptop, which I recently sold. I noticed that the System Restore was different than what I was used to in that it did restoration of both system files AND user documents. I am wondering if all versions of Windows 7 offer automatic file backup or just...

UPDATE: High offer is now $2000 w/ buyer to pay shipping costs. Well my last thread got locked because I posted an ebay link. Sorry about that. I would have just taken the link down but don't really have that option now so I guess I have to make a new thread. No Ebay this time. I read the...

Thermalright does not have compatibility listings with this cooler and the lower end Radeon cards. Yeah I know.. who is going to spend $40 in cooling a $40 card but I'm wondering if this is possible?

I'm toying with the idea of building a 790GX HTPC and I'm looking for quiet or fanless cooler suggestions. I'd prob get the 4850e or 5050e.. right now they're the exact same price, unless someone has another suggestion. I rather like these two cases...

I figure someone in here can prob answer this quickly.. The old apple studio displays could be hooked to a PC. Can the current two? Apple stopped listing them as PC compatible on their website.

I'm looking for game recommendations. I play a little Sims but other than that mostly Oblivion and FO3. I'm mostly not into FPS, but Doom used to be a guilty pleasure back in the DOS days. I love RPG stuff. The more control I have the more fun it seems to be. Going through the motions of...
