    ATI HD6800 - dual monitors and HDMI out to TV

    So I went ahead and purchased a displayport-DVI cable and am still having the same problem. Currently, I have one DP->DVI, one DVI and one HDMI plugged into the card, but it will only permit me to use two at a time. Are there some special drivers I need?

    ATI HD6800 - dual monitors and HDMI out to TV

    Thanks for the response Fly. You are correct - upon closer examination the other port is not HDMI. Forgive my ignorance, but can you explain why the card will allow 3 devices if I use this other mystery port but not if I use the HDMI-out? I just bought a 25' HDMI cable and also don't want...

    ATI HD6800 - dual monitors and HDMI out to TV

    Hello, I currently have dual monitors hooked up to a single ATI HD6800 card using DVI. I have the TV in the same room as my computer and I wanted to duplicate one of the desktops on the HDMI-out in order to stream video directly. When I connect the HDMI-out and try to do this, the ATI...

    Preinstalled Steel Motherboard Standoffs

    I'm putting my new rig together tonight, and I noticed that my Antec P183 case has pre-installed steel standoffs. They align fine with my board, but will they cause damage to my rig? Is it better to screw in brass risers on top of the steel ones, or am I good to go as is?

    Wrist Strain

    I keep one of these sitting on my desk. When my wrist starts to hurt, or I'm doing tedious clicking (AutoCAD, etc), I pull it out. Does the trick for me. Used to play CODWAW quite a bit with it too, when I had the time. Don't remember it holding me back much... could vary depending on how...

    feedback a new build

    Check out .n.c.i.x. They have a 5.99 shipping sale on right now, and you can pricematch ANY canadian online retailer. Newegg.ca is great, but they often ship directly from their California warehouse, and thus have a high shipping cost. I typically use pricebat to check for the cheapest deal.

    Looking for build suggestions

    Thanks for the suggestions folks, some good info here. Will definitely swap out the PSU. E4g - you mentioned the mobo was overpriced. Do you mean the particular price I've quoted, or this board in general? I've always had good luck with Asus boards, do you have any other suggestions that...

    Possible to restrict application to single connection?

    Thanks very much for the reply nessus. I've done a bit of light googling on persistent routing, but am by no means an expert on complicated network commands. I wonder if perhaps there are any GUI applications or simplified guides that might help me getting it setup? One other concern -...

    Possible to restrict application to single connection?

    Greetings, I live on a university campus and have access to multiple ISP's. Over the college network, there is a great internal file sharing service which utilizes DC++. The problem is when I am transferring files over DC++, I cannot game and my college connection is fairly unresponsive...
