    Upgrade or wait: mid 2022 edition

    I haven't been able to play any current games for a while - mostly time constraints. My current GPU is so old, it just won't cut it had I tried. Today's current gen was just what I was waiting for but yall know how that worked out. For now, my current thought is to snag something used this...

    Wireless CARD for main home PC

    I've recently moved from a house to an apartment. In the past, I had my main rig wired into my WRT610n router and ran laptops/iphone/tivo/etc via the wireless. Well, I've recently moved into an apartment and the only logical place to set up my computer is not anywhere near the cable input...

    Dell comparison (or any other suggestions)

    A buddy's looking for a low $ pc... hoping to stick close to $500. Will re-use his existing 19" monitor, keyboard mouse, etc. He games on a console but may want to try a couple pc versions.......but nothing too serious. He knows he won't get a serious gaming rig at this price level...

    ? for you IT security types...drive encryption software needed

    Just a corp thing..... to be in compliance with "our" interpretation of maintaining security on client data. Basically, when they come in to audit, we have to evidence that we have one of the approved solutions installed on all pcs that access client information. My office is one of 1000's...

    ? for you IT security types...drive encryption software needed

    drive encryption software needed New standards at my company mandate that we ALL have some sort of encryption software on all of our pc's. Since my W7 Ultimate came with Bitlocker, and it's on the list of "allowable encryption programs," my pc is all set. However, I've been asked to put...

    Been away for a bit.....but back for some advice on a server build

    I've built several pc's but never a server. I assume it's going to go together just like a home-use pc albeit with different parts. I'm not quite sure what info you geniuses need ( ;) ) so I'll try to include everything. We're going to run MS SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition for small...

    Repair-job on the cheap suggestions

    Just to fine-tune a bit: MOBO $80 GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM or $80 (looks like the price went up) BIOSTAR TA785GE -- the Gigabye has onboard ATI - I'll be installing a single Nvidia 8800GTS PSU $109 ($70 after rebate) CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX 520W -- it's overkill for now but he can always...

    Can't use that combo. I have to have a MicroATX mainboard since I'm going to use (hopefully) the original HP case. I feel ya on the PSU though. I'll leave the mail-in to my buddy ;)

    Repair-job on the cheap suggestions

    gottcha. thanks. So WOW isn't THAT cpu/gpu intensive, or at least not so much that a modest cpu upgrade would make much sense......which means there's no sense in going with a board and slightly better processor (can't afford the ones that'd make a decent difference) .........which means...

    Repair-job on the cheap suggestions

    Thanks Nurd, I like your idea better than my picks. I ran it by my buddy and he said either is cool BUT (doncha hate that word.....) he's not real likely to upgrade the cpu on his own down the road AND he's looking for as much of a bump up in performance NOW as he can get. I told him that my...
