I don't use this particular computer for anything but looking at stocks charts on tradingview.com. It is currently using 80-90% CPU utilization. I don't think getting anything greater is necessary, but this is just a guess. After all, C2Q is my ancient reference point. As for the RAM, can I...

Hey all, I need a new computer for productivity/office work. This only means stock charts, graphs, multiple web browsers (over 20 tabs open) on multiple monitors (4 DVI monitors plus 2 4k monitors). In my thinking, really not pushing much CPU power, but my C2Q 9550 8GB RAM. bogs way down with...

What are my options for a 27" 4k curved thin bezel monitor? I can't seem to find any. This is for office work, so display quality is secondary. I am in Canada, can't find any at Bestbuy.ca or Amazon.ca.

I have DVDs on my desktop computer that are almost 1:1 rip from DVD. That means they are about 4GB in size, contains .IFO .VOB etc files. The reason I didn't transcode it is that I needed the full menu to navigate the DVD (they are instructional DVDs). I have an old Linksys G (54GL) router that...

It's mine.

I mentioned the Define C until I looked at the spec and it is only about 1.5 inch shorter, that is not what I want. So my goal is, mATX in as small a case as possible, which means to me no Fractal Design cases as they are all big for any given MB size. What is 'as small a case as possible', I...

Should I bpick the WD in other sizes, I assume they are all the same? I'm thinking 3-4TB. I am leaning towards mATX in a non Fractal Designed case (not compact enough) using my existing card, and adding on another one, so dual GPU. I have found H170M chipset that supports x16 and x4 electrical...

I'm happy with W7 myself, I don't really care to learn new stuff lol. As for old cards, I have an older Nvidia 9600GT 512MB Ram, can the new software do the Eyefinity equivalent function? I don't do anything intensive with my computer, displaying stock charts, stock chart software, web pages...

Skillz, ok thanks for that. I can increase the budget no problem. Case: it's a generic, don't know what name, has nothing special. I don't want to install lots of fan, I want the least amount of fans possible, because my pet peeve is noise. I would also like a case that I can put on my desk...

Hello all, I have an old Q9550 @3.4ghz I need upgrading. My needs are not great. CPU is fast enough for me, but I am hampered with 8GB memory just running multiple windows/browser tabs. I keep getting low memory warnings. My 2TB storage drive just gave me a SMART failure warning as well. Also...

I bought a Seiki SE42UMT in Canada, which I think is the equivalent to the SE42UMS models in the US. There are not that many reviews, mostly on Amazon. It has HDMI 2.0, three of them. So the question I have is, when I run this at HDMI 1.4 at 30hz, will it display the same croma capabilities...

I was wondering, do all 30hz 4K TVs do 4:4:4? Specifically the Seiki 39" 4K?

The 50" is on sale at sears for $720.

I have had 2 different eyeone products and both of them will 'calibrate' when you start the process. The process being.... just press the button to start your display calibration, it should go right to calibrating the device itself first.

I like the MDT series of Galaxy cards, at least they are trying for multi output spanning, not perfect but better than none.

Great communication with Galaxy on forum post and PM. It's been a long time since being able to chat with a real sales/support guy with my questions.

Laptop CPU can be upgraded. I've been doing it since the Pentium 3 days. Have done it in a Pentium M, and C2D/C2Q, I don't see how that has changed any. You can find loads of mobile CPU on ebay. That said, you need the service manual to know how to take apart your laptop. I would suggest you...

Can you span monitors A, B, C, and D into one monitor? In other words, if you have 4 monitors, can you span it to act as 1 big monitor.

Install iTunes and use it for music playback or internet radio.You can control it from your other computers as well. If you decide to dump it, consider giving it to a thrift store. Broken electronic parts/computers can be dumped at your local Best Buy, other retailers might also take it in, but...

Do a system restore to the point before you downloaded those widgets (or gadgets as you put it).

Look up Herman Miller's list of dealers near you where you can try them out. I have only experienced owning the Aeron and Mirra chairs. There is also the Pixel chair by Herman Miller. Also there are Steel Case chairs competitor chairs (the ones your see Walt Mosberg on D shows, that red one he...

I have a Samsung 2TB HD204UI, I think it is now called the Ecogreen F4. It is dying on me even though I only use it for storage, I am running my OS and programs on a small SSD. I was offered the following replacements: -Another Samsung 2TB (have to wait 2 weeks, which is not a problem for me)...

It is listed for preorder on ncix Canada for $130. C$1=US$1. Does the web browser work with sited like PBS.org?

Looking for Patriot Box Office or a Boxee Box, please let me know if you have a working one, if there is any warranty on it, and the price shipped to WA. Thanks.

iPad 1 user: It's a content consumption device. The usefulness is in the form factor. I can do things with it while laying in bed (on my side), on the sofa, on the back porch, take it for a weekend trip. It's not going to replace your home desktop/laptop computer, but I only use those on a...

I need a new HD to fix a friend's computer, the old one is dead. I only have Bestbuy.ca and futureshop.ca (Canada), I have to fix it in a day, so I can't do mail order. I can't seem to find for example, Samsung F3 1TB. So what's my best alternative. I can go as small as 300GB. Thank you. I...

Where did you get this info from? Edit: Well, I just found this info, it's 600GB x 4 platters. The 3TB is 5 platters: http://www.servethehome.com/hitachi-5k3000-2tb-35-green-drive-silentspin-review-benchmarks/

I take it these are still 4 platter drives?
