thanks, i'll check those out

I was wondering if anyone knew any good forums for website development help. I use this site all the time when I have hardware questions but recently I have started doing some basic web development and have some questions. The problem is that I don't know any good forums to post my generic...

thanks a lot for everyone's help. Everyone here always responds quickly and is very polite. I asked this same question at the sli zone forums and was told that my origional question of: What would be faster: two evga geforce 7600gs 512mb pci-e cards running sli or one xfx geforce...

Yes it is, but I own all three cards already, so i guess my question should have been: If I want to run two monitors, would i get better preformance out of running my main monitor on the 8600 and my secondary monitor on the 7600 or would it be better to run both monitors off the 8600?

Benchmarking seems to be what it is going to come down to. Back to one of my earlier posts though. If you are running two pci-e cards not in sli mode (each card running a different monitor) how much of a preformance hit will you take by splitting up the 16 channels into 2 sets of 8?

As I said earlier I already own all three cards, two 7600's and one 8600, so I am not going to go out and buy the 3850.

So after reading the new posts it seems that most people are saying that I should use the 8600 and not run sli. If I run the 8600 in non-sli mode, can i put the 7600 in my other pci-e slot and run my second moniter off that? Would i cause my 8600 to lose too much preformance from not having...

Price isn't really an issue for me - I own all three cards already so the advice to go buy a different card rather then the ones I'm asking about really isn't an option. I have been running the two 7600's in sli in my machiene and then my buddy's computer died and he gave the parts out of it...

any reasons why? My thoughts are that even though i'm going to a faster card i'm dropping down to a single card instead of sli and going from a combined 1 gb of video memory to 256mb. Am i just being ignorant and not realizing how much of an upgrade the faster card is?

What would be faster: two evga geforce 7600gs 512mb pci-e cards running sli or one xfx geforce 8600gts 256mb pci-e card which setup will be faster?

Hey everyone, First off I would like to say that I understand that SLI does NOT support dual monitors, this is not something I have a question about. Also, i understand that there have been a TON of dual monitor support issues posted on this forum and I have tried very hard to search through...

thanks for all the help everyone, got it all worked out

Thanks for the advice. One more question, on my motherboard I had to do something to enable sli mode. To do what was suggested where I uncheck sli in the nvidia control pannel and plug my second monitor into the second video card, do you think I should leave sli turned "on" on the motherboard?

Yea, I've done the whole one video card two monitors thing and that is really easy. What I'm more asking is if its possible to have a different video card running each monitor. I have two video cards and I want to take advantage of both of them.

Hey everyone, So I've been running my setup in sli mode for a while and I've decided that i would really rather not run in sli mode and use two monitors. My question is, I have two identical video cards and two identical monitors, do i just disconnect sli mode and plug monitor a into video...

Hey, I'm building a media center pc with a touch screen but I was wanting to put some buttons on it for volume and next track and other stuff like that. Do you guys know of anything like a usb keypad that is made to do that or something that I could rip apart that would accomplish that...

ic, so mac basically got the short end of the stick when it comes to avi's huh btw, its a brand new 12" iBook, so it should be fast enough to play the files

Hi, I just switched over to a mac and i'm loving it, but, i have found a problem. I am trying to watch several avi flies, one right after another. To do this on a pc i'd fire up winamp and put them all in a playlist. So i figureded it would be the same on a mac. I dled the newest version...

does anyone know any programs such as trillian or any programs that log chats and such for a mac besides iChat? Thanks

i'll try and see what i can do about that spyware log. I think that is what happened, b/c i run spybot search and destroy reguarly, and i just updated windows, so I will try and see if I can see what spybot removed before I ran windows update. Thanks for the help, I'll keep you guys posted...

i did just update windows....stupid microsoft. When you reformated yoru hard drive, how did you do that? did you use another computer to do it? b/c when i put my windows xp cd into the drive and try and boot off of the cd it doesn't work, it loads some drivers and then just stops.

Hi, I'm having some problems with my computer. It doesn't boot, which is bad. When i turn it on it does its thing and when it gets to the point where it should load up win xp the screen goes blank. I tried starting it in safe mode, but while loading the drivers it stalls at mup.sys every...

hey I just got my t42 thinkpad and i'm busy setting it up. When I go to run and type in msconfig, then go to startup, which of the startup options do i really need? or will it automatically turn the ones that i need back on if i disable all of them? I've never had a laptop before and I'm...

I purchased the 2378FVU model, but I upgraded the ram to 512mb insted of 256mb. That way I can do some photoshop stuff and a few games a little better.

Thanks a lot guys, i'm going with the t42, I didn't get the top of the line one, but the one I has a 1.7 gh proc, 512mb ram, 40gig hd, and a 64 mb vid card. I think that will suit me just fine since I will be bringing my desktop along with me to college. I really appriciate all of your input...

Hi, I'm getting a new laptop that will be used for college. I've narrowed it down to 2 laptops, the IBM T42p and the IBM X40. From what I can tell the T42p will be MUCH faster, but the battery life will be lessoned and it is heavier then the X40. But the X40 is much smaller, lighter...

I have the Epox EP-8RDA+ mobo and the ASUS A7N8X. The A7N8X I purchased about a year ago and i'm not sure which revision it is, but it is probally a revision 1. Which mobo should i use in my system? also I have 2 sticks of 256mb OCZ DDR PC-3500 ram and 2 sticks of 256mb corsair xms pc 3200...

so infinity, u're leaning more tward me upgrading some stuff now huh? like vid card, cpu, ram and sound card were what i was thinking. do the amd 64 bit processors need new motherboards? or do they use the same socket as the xp's?

well, i'll be using it to play games, do some CAD stuff and some graphic design, and the general comptuer use. when i'm playing newer games, like farcry and such it doesn't preform quite as well as i'd like it to, some noticeable fps slowdown, but not too bad. it just seems that from what...

So here is the deal guys, I got some money lying around, graduation presesnts and all and I was thinking of upgrading my computer for college. I allready have a laptop so i dont need any money for that but i just can't go without my desktop. This is what my current computer setup is, and my...

ide is enabled, the cable is good, i've tried the drive in other computers and it works, i've tried the hard drive on the same cable as the cd rom drive and a different one and it wont work either way, cleared the cmos, everything is plugged in and rechecked to make sure the shuttle case is...

I've got a problem with a shuttle. Its an intel based system and whenever i plug in a hard drive it doesn't recognise it, i've tried jumper settings and switching it around and different hard drives, and everything i can think of, the funny part is that the cd-rom drive is recognised and works...

My girlfriend wants a laptop for college, the only problem is that she wants it in pink.... does anyone know of a laptop that comes in pink besides a mac?

i was wondering how gamable this laptop is, can anyone give me some benchmarks on it? or just what they have experienced using this notebook? such as their average frame rates on games other then stuff like starcraft (which can be played on any computer).

what is the rpm's on the hard drive in the T41p? I'm assuming its a 7200 rpm drive, but just checking.

reguarding the graphics card in the T41p how does the FireGL T2 128MB compair the the radeon 9600 128mb?
