5 Years ago I built a computer around an OC'd i5 660, ended up giving it to my parents, they no longer need it (moving to a Surface Book) so I've got this computer back. Looking to possible repurpose it to a HTPC/Light Gaming. Specs i5 660 @ 4.5ghz Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 Corsair H70 8GB...

I have an Asus ET2702 with a Radeon HD8890A 2GB I'm trying to figure out whether or not it can support 4K displays at 60hz or not. http://www.asus.com/AllinOne_PCs/ET2702IGTH/ GPU-Z Screenshot From my searches online there is nothing mentioned about a Radeon HD8890A 2GB other than...

I have a G75V in my sig max supported ram is 32gb (4x8dimms). Now the laptop came with WIn 7 Home Premium, with the limit of 16gbs of ram. I also have a B43J which came with Win 7 Professional. I no longer use that laptop, would it be possible to download a copy of Win 7 Pro and install...

Just put together the system in my sig, running them in RAID 0 128K stripe size using the ICH10R, quite surprised how well it seems to be doing.

Just picked up a used P180 mini case, and while I thought it had all the accesorries I was wrong. I"m missing the 5.25" drive rails. I looked on Antec's website and didn't see any drive rails for p180, although I did find ones for the p160 and antec solo ect, Does anyone know where to...

I haven't built a decent computer for about 2 years now, I had a rather mobile lifestyle and now that I"m actually going to be in one place for a while now, i'm finding having a desktop makes more sense than a DTR laptop. I've been somewhat out of the loop hardware wise and would like...

Maybe i'm doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't get my phenom 2 955 to work at anything other than 800mhz. Things i've tried: 1.Update bios, zotac states this cpu "works" 2.Disabled/Enabled CnQ 3.Changed Vista power schemes back and forth It just refuses to do...

I picked up an HP DV2 notebook the other day with this new cpu somewhat aimed at the atom based systems out there. Its a great cpu, and from what I can gather its exactly the same as the Athlon 64 2650e also with a 15W TDP that has been showing up in the oem systems and notebooks. Although...

I just bought a DV2-1044CA from Futureshop today. Wasn't even expecting to buy it however I had been anticipating its release since it was announced in january. A little history on my netbook expereice. I first started with an MSI wind which I liked alot the big selling point at the time...

http://www.pcvonline.com/ProductDetails.aspx?prodID=8551 Just came acorss this today, too bad i'm not in the market for a videocard. I'm just suprised no sites have reviewed the card yet. Oh yes and the pricing is in Canadian

So i decided to built a Dualcore Atom system and throw in a pci videocard, picked up a Sparkle 8500GT 256mb card to put in the system, and was rather suprized at how useless the system began to feel. Everything in windows just lagged and felt slow, I disabled the onboard video and...

So I just love messing around with new hardware to see what its like and was really curious to see how the dual core atom stacked up against the single core. I just ordered the following parts: 1 x Apex MI-008 MINI-ITX Case Glossy Black 1X5.25 1X3.5 1X3.5INT Sfx 250W Front Audio USB 1 x...

Just got my N10J today and thought i'd share my experience with the rest of you. First off its a very nice looking notebook, since I have an MSI Wind i'll be comparing the two. The Asus looks very stylish, more so than the wind although styling isn't a huge issue in my books. Constuction...

So i've always been partial to Asus, but picked up an MSI Wind becasue I couldn't wait for the N10. Love my wind to death but I play some team fortress classic every once in a while, so the N10 should totally fit the bill. Should get it on monday, i've kinda been dissappointed with the...

Just picked up one of these drives. If anyone was thinking of getting one of these but was thinking about the 7K200 then the results from this thread should help you decide. Just about fast as a 200gb 7200rpm drive with 120gb more of storage. *Sry for the horrible image...

I"ve been reading everywhere that this board supports dual link dvi via the onboard DVI. I'm building a system for a friend who may later on down the road use a 30" lcd with it (he playes zero games) Has anyone used this board or any other 690g board with a 30" lcd to confirm whether or...

I recently took the laptop HDD out of my laptop to put into my desktop. Its a Fujitsu 120gb sata drive. Now i was too lazy to format it before i stuck it in my desktop, which is probably asking for trouble. It is setup in 2 partitions both ntfs. Partition c: has windows installed the other...

I sold my Logitech Z680's a few months ago and I"m desperately in need of a new speaker system. I'm just wondering if there is any news on a possible replacement for the Z5500's or the Klipsch 5.1 Promedia speakers. Seems like these 2 systems are getting long in the tooth from a time...

I"m interested in getting a pair of large lcd's to use with my laptop if possible. My lappy has a vga port which only supports up to 1600x1200. I'm curious if using the matrox box would i be able to run higher resolutions that what my laptop could.
