I bought this Broadcom 802.11 AC wireless + Bluetooth card from Amazon a while back for my late 2012 rMBP and it's working beautifully with my new AC router (a Netgear Nighthawk X4 v.2), but I have a questions about it.... 1.What form factor is this card? 2.Also, is this the same card...

OK, so it's not a new one. And it's a Power PC, 2005 or 2006 with Tiger. I actually got it for case modding, but it works so I might use it as a media PC. VLC still had downloads for Power PC variants of OS X! Anyone have any idea as to how I can expect it to perform? If it sux as bad as my...

OK, I have a crap load of books (my wife's) that she has been collecting from various sources (Kindle, Nook, AND iBooks, etc...). She had been using Calibre & the Marvin plug-in to sync them to her iPhone 6s and iPad Air, but wants to put everything into one app to read from, iBooks, especially...

I'm looking at a new motherboard from ASRock, E3C236D2I, that gives the following info: (SATA0 share with M.2 connector). Does that mean you can have an M.2 drive and SATA0 connected at the same time, or is one or the other? Also, can you boot from and M.2 drive? Thanks, PG

Been thinking about replacing my Netgear WNDR4700 router with something else (that has AC). I've been trying to find screen shots of the admin interface for the latest Airport Extreme, but haven't found any yet that are useful (most are low res and hard to read, or are for previous generations)...

I have a Seagate Black Armor that I got a few years ago and I want to replace it with something a bit more powerful. I'm also an ex-IT guy with a lot of server (Windows) experience. I've been looking at Qnap and Synology, and my own build. I need the following things: 1. Integration with an...

At present I have an iPhone 5s, and iPad Air (both with iOS 8.1), and a 2012 Retina Macbook Pro running 10.10.. I can Airdrop just fine between the 5s and Air (both ways), but can't Airdrop to the Macbook. On the 5s and Air airdrop is set to everyone. I've tried restarting all of them with...

Just one this time... to start off with, anyway. Where the hell are iBooks kept after adding them to your library (OS X)?

At present I have my iTunes library ripped at 256k AAC. I've been thinking of re-ripping everything @ 320k AAC. Don't ask me why... I think I like to torture myself. :eek: If I do that can I just replace the files on my NAS box with the higher bitrate ones without having to remove and re-add...

Greetings all! I'm making my first foray into contracting my services out for website building/management and need some advice on how to handle a few things. 1. What type of contract do yo use for your services? And where can I get a free or inexpensive copy of one? Any income I make has...

I'm looking specifically the name of the case I've seen recently in the past. It has an elastic grip on the back so you can stick your hand in it and not drop the damn thing. For anyone that has been to an AT&T store lately, they use them there. I don't want to have to go in there again (between...

I'm looking for a screen protector for my new Air I know about Zaggs' offerings, but would like input on others, like Moshi & 3M, and any others that are out there. Tell me what you like and dislike about each, and please post links ( both manufacturer and where you bought it). One of the...

Can someone please explain to me the differences? Do they essentially do the same thing or what? This is something totally new to me and I need help.

I have an Apple Script app that I run to connect me to my NAS box. I used to get notifications when my mapped drives/folders would be disconnected. For sone reason I'm no longer getting notified (I think someone... the wife... clicked on "don't notify me" on one of the disconnect messages, and I...

I'm considering switching from TB to Mail and have some Q's for any Mail experts on 10.8.4... 1) Will Mail import everything from TB? I have 5 mail accounts set up, all as POP, with multiple sort folders and rules under each Inbox... will Mail recognize them and keep the structure & rules? 2)...

I'm getting a list of components together for an HTPC build. The ideal case would be the Habey EMC-800S, with an Intel BOXDQ77KB motherboard. I need to find the following components: 1. A good slot load SATA Blu-Ray drive, does not need to be a burner, but that would be a plus (can't afford the...

I recently purchased a Seagate Black Armor 440 NAS ($60 instant + $60 promo code for a final price of $479 made it worth taking a chance on it at Newegg). It replaced an aging Windows Home Server (now re-purposed as a media PC). So far all my Windows systems (all Win7, except for the Media PC on...

I'm thinking of buying one to replace my Windows Home server (which also doubles as our media PC connected to the TV). It's obviously cheaper to max out the RAM by buying it from Newegg, but I'm also thinking about upgrading the hard drive with an SSD, something like a Samsung 840 Pro in either...

OK... I'm able to install my Win7 x64 to a bootcamp partition just fine on my rMBP. I am legel with the upgrade because I have a full copy of Vista that the Win7 upgrade was previously installed over (the full Vista is no longer in use on the other laptop as I have a Dell DVD to reinstall Vista...

I'm still fairly new to Mac and OSX, so be gentle... So far my Mac experience has been great. My rMBP was delivered on August 29th and I've been loving it! My only problem started last evening... I had a nice solid connection to my Windows Home Server (2003), until I tried to make aliases to...

I've been trying to find this for a little while now, but can't seem to pin down a solid answer. Currently I'm using Winamp Pro on Win7 to rip CD's to AAC+ (He-AAC) @ 128k. You may not like the format or quality, but it works for me and my family. Plus the storage requirements are cut in half...

I'm looking to build a list of native Windows Vista x64 bit software. Freeware, shareware, commercial programs... I'm not looking for software that is 32 bit, but compatible with Vista x64, but rather programs that will run native 64bit. Anyone want to start off the list? I'm having...

I scored a fantastic little beauty on eBay... a Silicon Graphics Indigo Iris CMNB003 workstation. Cost me all of $5.50 for it, plus shipping. Can't wait to get my hands on this one! Sorry, not a very good pic. There aren't many pics to be had of these unless you take them yourself...

This: My old system board, see sig for specs. I finally got the time to take a good look at the board after I removed the MOSFET cooling cover. No wonder it was "unstable" (I.E. wouldn't even post anymore). :D

Here's the situation. The Wife and Son are using built-in speakers on their monitors. They suck... understatement... I want to get them both a set of 2.0 or 2.1 speakers that sound good but aren't overpriced. I was looking at these: Creative i-trigue Creative gigaworks Logitech X-230...

This has been an ongoing problem for me. No matter how many times I have tried in the past to change the setting, then change it back to receive e-mail notification, it doesn't seem to work. A few people have PM'ed me recently and I'm beginning to think that they think I'm an a-hole for not...

I need an app to read CPU and Memory settings, like CPU-Z. If you look at my sig you will see what system I'm running... CPU-Z will not work on this setup. It hard locks the PC and then I have to reset. Crystal CPUID does not seem to be reading the core clock corectly, nor does it show...

Are there any cards availiable on PCI-E other than graphics cards? I'm just wondering, because I haven't seen any yet... but then again, I haven't been looking. Have any cards been announced for PCI-E?

My new motherboard only has one Fan connector, other than the one for the northbridge and the CPU. Does anyone manufacture a front panel that can monitor RPM's on several fans? I don't just want a fan controller, but a monitoring solution to watch the speed of up to 3 or 4 fans. Thanks.

I just bought a Core Duo MB, AOpen i975Xa-YDG Socket 479 to be exact, and was wandering if there are any waterblocks availiable to fit the board. I really don't want to give up water at this point... I have already checked Danger Den and can't find any info.

I'm building a new core system... see sig for the reason. Anyhow, I like the new X1900 lineup, and wanted to go this route. I also would like to have the option of a second card for Crossfire, but I don't lnow squat about it. 1. Are there any X1900XTX cards that are crossfire ready...

OK, first off let me say that I am posting two separate threads to keep the AMD and Intel supporters from each other's throats. I don't want a flame war over this plea for help... I just cooked my system. Now I need a new one. Current (dead) system is in my sig, and as you can see I'm not...

OK, first off let me say that I am posting two separate threads to keep the AMD and Intel supporters from each other's throats. I don't want a flame war over this plea for help... I just cooked my system. :D Now I need a new one. I'm thinking of going AMD, if I can afford it. Current...

OK, here is the plan... I need a switch box to go between my sound card and several outputs. I have the following: 1) A set of Altec Lansing 641 4.1 speakers 2) Zalman 5.1 surround headphones 3) A crappy set of Creative 4.1 speakers (in my wood shop) 4) A set of Sennheiser 265 headphones...

I want to hook up my 4.1 speakers, another set of 4.1"s, and my zalman 5.1 headphones all at the same time and be able to switch between them. The first set of 4.1"s (Altec Lansing 641"s) are my listening speakers for web, music, etc... for general listening. The second set of 4.1"s (an...

After a sebatical from the [H] Forums, PsycoGeek is back. A few from the watercooling area should recognize me, and I have sold a few things here before. I'm also a LONG time member of the forum. The sebatical, as I call it, was for business... I've started my own woodworking business and...

OK, I've got a local source for the tubing, but I have to buy 50" of it @ $2.91/ft. ($147.50.roll). I obviously don't need 50", so.... is anyone interested in buying any 10" lengths of it from me? 10' = $29.10 + about $5 shipping (lets say $34)? I would have 4 10' lengths to sell, or if you...

Well, EA released an update today to fix an unnamed exploit, BUT..... something is now terribly wrong (All EA servers have been updated at this point, BTW.). PB is kicking people for a "gamehack" (the number varies from person to person I think), but no hacks are being used. One theory is that...

The idea is to cool the power supply with a separate self-contained loop. Has it been done before? Can it be done? Can anyone post pics or links to a water cooled power supply?

Just got back from a local store that had D0 stepping Prescott 3.0ghz cores in stock. Price was good considering it was local ($220 US including tax). Not a bad price to pay for the reassurance that you got a good stepping core, eh? I'll be putting it in the system tonight or tomorrow...
