    Why does the internet lag when someone else logs on?

    Well I just finished installing my DLink 2640B and put the 2wire in storage. There was a QoS option in the new Dlink router so I just checked off the box. Do I need to do anything else or will it load balance the bandwidth automatically? Like it'll keep me gaming @ 1Mbps with no problem while...

    Why does the internet lag when someone else logs on?

    I share my internet with 3 other people. When I'm gaming by myself or when no one is at home, I get the full quality of our ATT Yahoo DSL (3.5Mbps plan). No drops, no lag, etc. Speedtest says I get 2.4Mbps. But when someone else is logging onto Facebook book or browsing photos, my latency...

    Is this a normal watt range?

    So basically it'll only run over 300W if its under heavy load (max settings for gaming) and around 200-250W when using mid-gaming or web browsing?? I hardly ever push my gaming rig to the edge and never even achieve those high ratings. I usually idle at 28-41C on Speedfan even during gaming.

    Is this a normal watt range?

    Ran the Furmark benchmark and the watts came up between 230-240W. GPU: 2886 points, max temp 73C FPS min 48, max 50 Ran OCCT and it came up to 130-140W for the CPU stress test. No errors. No problems during the benchmark test. Is there any way I can calculate the min/mid/max wattage use for...

    How do I disable VGA?

    Ok, just tested out the new DVI cable from monoprice on both computers. Same "2 D-Sub no signal" problem. I really hope its just the monitor now. I am receiving the new monitor later today and I wanted to pick it up, but the damn UPS guy who routes here during Thursdays and Fridays doesn't even...

    How do I disable VGA?

    Ya the 6870 drivers are up to date. UPDATE: Ok so I pulled out my old rig which I should've thrown away a long time ago. I hooked up the monitor and DVI cable and lo and behold, the problem also happened with the old desktop. So now I suspect its either the DVI cable, monitor, or both. Either...

    How do I disable VGA?

    I have a XFX Radeon 6870. Windows 7 OS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150521 For some reason, my monitor flickers between "2 D-SUB NO SIGNAL" (VGA) with a blank screen and then back to normal DVI mode. It does this every 3-5 minutes and its annoying. HDMI and DVI mode...
