SOLD EDIT: $390 PLUS S&H Hi there, I had two defective 5870s that I had RMAed to XFX, and received two brand new 6950s. But now, I have a different video setup altogether, and have no use for them. I'm asking for $470 plus shipping (from Vancouver, Canada) for BOTH video cards. You're saving...

Hi [H], This is a long post, but please bare with me. I'm very close to shelling out cash to overpaid PC "repairmen" just because I'm completely out of ideas! My abnormalities with my computer started about half a year ago, perhaps around October, when playing graphically demanding games...

For the past half-year when in games I would occasionally experience artifacting, and gray/black or colored vertical stripes which would promptly lead to a hard crash (either black or gray screen). Not an uncommon problem apparently. In the past, I have swapped my two cards` PCI slots...

Hey folks, I have no idea what I did here, but it's not good. I decided to give my i7 930 CPU a jump to ~3.6Ghz as a starting point to see what it would do (multiplier at 21x, HT on, TB off), with the CPU voltage at ~1.27V on my Gigabyte X58A-UD3R motherboard. Essentially I was ballparking...

My Vista x64 laptop recently completely crapped out on me, however there's some important information on there that I'm trying to get out of its hard drive. I extracted the laptop hard drive, and turned off my desktop (see sig). I disconnected the SATA and power connector to my 1TB HDD (my...

Just bought this monitor for my dorm room (although I'm not in uni yet), and I decided to unpack it and completely test it out. Okay, so I'm on this monitor right now, and I'll start by answering a few common questions right off the bat. 1. Yes, it has 1:1 pixel mapping 2. Yes, it has...

Source: Engadget Looks like HP's HDX has finally poked its pivoting, angling neck out to say hello. We welcome the mammoth, overzealous "entertainment series" laptop, in all its specced out glory. Marvel at its: * Centrino (Core 2) Duo T7700 2.4GHz CPU * 20.1-inch 1680 x 1050...

NVIDIA's been parading its DirectX 10 desktop GPUs around for some time now, and while we've seen lappies in the pipeline that tout the DX10 niceties, the firm is getting all formal on us with the release of the 8M series of laptop graphics cards. Hailed as the "world's first mobile GPU to...

Is there ANY quality loss whatsoever if I'm using an HDMI to DVI adapter? How about a DVI to HDMI, if I wanted to plug in my PC to an HDMI/component only television? (Namely, the Panasonic TC-26LX600) I'm already looking for alternatives to my Sceptre 22wrg monitor, that will support a direct...
