No brand loyalty here, and gaming isn't really a priority. Single card, support four monitors over DVI. Over PCIe obviously. Here, this might be easier: Four simultaneous live DVI headers (4 monitors active at once) Single card Windows desktop only (no gaming priority, some video editing)...

Hey guys. I'm working with a hearing aid center on their calibration machine, its a laptop that runs the setup and it needs to be mobile because they move it to an other location once a month for some charity thing. Anyway, the laptop doesn't have 5.1 out, just stereo. I ordered a USB to...

Hi guys, I'm wondering what the general consensus is here on what's better. I currently have a single XFX 6990 and, cost not an issue, which would give me better performance with three monitors at 3x1920x1200? Get a second 6990, or give that to a friend and get two 7970's? Somewhat unrelated...

Need to run three monitors, not for gaming, just desktop, via a single card. Something new if possible. What do you guys think is best?

Got an AT&T HTC Vivid here, and a NET10 SIM card. I noticed there was a SIM Unlock option in the boot loader, but it just gives an SDcard error and asks if I want to reboot. I've already tried factory resetting the phone, and booting it fresh with the new SIM in, but I'm not sure what else is...

Got a PCIe Radeon HD 6450 from PowerColor in a Dell Optiplex 745. Latest AMD drivers. Connected to two identical HP 1702 flat screens. When I try to extend desktop to second monitor ("Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor"), the moment I click Apply, the screen flicker - as per a...

Hey guys, just wondering what the perfered method for wifi tethering is now. Before I upgraded to 2.3.3, barnacle worked fine. Now it doesnt. Also tried this guy, but it seems like it's just piggybacking off Verizon's built in app (tethering technically works to the laptop, but of course there's...

Seems like its getting harder to find them. Newegg doesnt even have an advanced search dropdown anymore. Whats up?

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." My account's an administrator, always has been. I copied explorer.exe to an entirely different drive, ran takeown from the command line, and I've also removed all...

Been bugging me for a while but I just normally get fed up and turn it all the way off. Where do you turn off security center alerts individually instead of turning the whole thing off? I just want it to ignore the state of UAC but not A/V state or windows updates etc.

<null> Forgot I already made a thread about this!

A client, a car dealership, has an 8 year old linux server they want to update. I'm not a linux guru by any means, I've only been using Ubuntu for a few months on a laptop which isn't my primary system. This old install has no GUI environment, it's all CLI, and I'm not sure of the distro...

Haven't had to worry about this yet, but when I got home just now, my computer had power cycled and it seems I got some unrecoverable errors on my boot drive, blue screening at boot. Loads in safe mode just fine though. Anyway, I've got my 7 disk here and I'm trying to do a repair install...

We've got a closet here at the shop that's not being used for much else besides tossing empty newegg boxes. I'm thinking we might be able to put the space to better use. I'd like to build a clean room for repairing hard drives. We've done a little of that already, but it's limited to bad...

(Sorry if this is the wrong spot, Mod: move if this isn't right place.) Bout at the end of my rope here. Vista laptop here, every boot up, get an IE frame scripting error from res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff_webOC.htm. I've already disabled everything in startup, as well as run the tools at...

There's still plenty of old Ageia PhysX cards floating around, that have nothing to do with nVidia. I'm seeing plenty on ebay, for example. I'm wondering if these are worth anything. How fast does a physics card really need to be? Would these cards do anything for modern games?

Was looking around on guru3d but can't find it now. Does anybody know what happened to driver cleaner, or can recommend an alternative? Just swapping out an older ati card for a newer nvidia on a customer's system and wanted to clean everything out.

I''ve got an XFX 5970 2gb Black edition, was just wondering if that's still the fastest card. Weird thing is though, for how much it costs, I still get stutter some times. Like in GTA4 or Eve Online after dropping out of warp, or looking in certain directions in the DC ruins area of Fallout...

Is there a way to release a SATA drive the way you release a USB one to prevent delayed write data loss, close all open file handles and release the drive letter? I need to hot swap drives a lot when making acronis images and some times I'll have to reboot to get it to see a drive on a SATA...

I've got a customer's computer here, windows 7 home prem x64. This was his first time using W7 and he brought it in because he couldn't get Vent working. I've got the same set up at home so I figured this would be an easy fix, but for the life of me, I can't remember what I did to mine to make...

I've currently got one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150460 I'm pretty happy with it, fastest card I've ever had, etc. Noticed this though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121388 The thought crossed my mind to ebay my current...

I've got a customer's computer on the bench that locks up and reboots anywhere from between an hour to three hours if a game is running, even with all settings at minimum. We're not really set up for this kind of thing to be honest, it's a small town and most of the computers we get in are old...

Friend's birthday is coming up and I want to buy him a new phone. Basically I'd just like any recomendation between the Evo 4G or the Aria. What does the [H] think?

These are the two SSDs I'm looking at. OCZ Vertex Series 60GB SATA II http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227394 Intel X25-M G2 Postville 80GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167018 Now other than the size, is there any reason to go with...

Quick question... I've got an ATi 5970. Can you do Eyefinity over Crossfire yet? Like if I plug in a second 5970 (which I'm going to do anyway in a few months), can I also use the outputs on it for other monitors that I integrate into a single Eyefinity desktop? I was hoping to do 5 screens, one...

Looking for reccomendation on either or both: Good active converter for Mini-DP to DVI, or, a good native display port LCD that's a 24" and has a less than 5ms refresh and good viewing angles. But for now, primarily, the DP adaptor.

Alright, one of our clients has a wireless network, and they just bought some new laptops from us. Only one of their laptops, the one they already had, has wifi, is able to connect. The network is encrypted and they don't have any records for what their key was. Not really our problem, but it...

I got this display about a year ago, and now I'm building an Eyefinity setup, but it seems like Dell isn't selling it anymore? I want to make sure the two new mates for my current one are the same size, dimensions, colors, panel quality, etc, because I've read (from here actually, among other...

I've got no experience with this, so I have no real brand loyalty yet, and am unsure about the pros and cons here. It seems like there are only three Big Names in components. Danger Den Swiftech Koolance Does the [H] have a preferred brand, or do you like to mix and match?

Here's what I'm working with so far, think you guys could recommend me a CPU and PSU to complete things? I've got maybe, oh, an other five - six hundred to play with. Maybe a little more if I wait one more week or two to start ordering. <<< CPU >>> <<< GPU >>> XFX Radeon HD 5970 Black...

I'm working on a CAD workstation for a client, I've never dealt with these high end work station video cards before. There's a light on the card that comes on red and the screen goes out, it's fine after a reboot. I'm thinking it's a temperature indicator but I'm not sure, can't find anything...

Hey guys, I'm building a new rig soon and I've run into a bit of a problem that surely must have been addressed somewhere, it can't be that I'm the only one running into this. There's plenty of motherboards out now that support 3xSLI. In fact, it's becoming the norm. However, it seems that...

I've got an ASUS A8V Delux mobo with on-board audio. I only have a 2 speaker setup (with a sub, but that's routed through the speakers -- the mobo doesn't know it's there). Also headphones. So basically it's just two channel. When ever I play a game (Half-Life 2, in particular) that has...

I'm building a new rig (technically I'm upgrading my existing one, but so many parts are getting swapped out, it may as well be new), and I've settled on the ASUS P5B Premium mobo. I need processor recommendations. I don't think I want a multi-core just yet, so anything else in the LGA775 socket...

Alright, Windows 2k, showing all symptoms of a user profile corruption. As in, desktop lost and rebuilt with a default one. I do a little poking around to see if anything can be salvaged, and find out the old profile is still there in the Documents and Settings directory. Before...

Wasn't sure which area this was supposed to go in, but this seemed the most likely. I'm having some terrible video problems after having installed some codec packs and now my videos look like ass. By that I mean, the colors are bleeding (and so are my eyes), contrast is way too high...

My first post here, but I've been reading [H] for years now. Great site. I recently made the switch from Win 2k Executive edition to XP Pro (mostly because I lost my 2k disk), so I'm not all that familiar / comfortable with it yet. During instilation, it asked me what my name was. Due to...
