    Soundblaster Z fitment - does not line up with mounting hole?

    I installed a Soundblaster Z PCI-e audio card (ASUS P8Z77V mobo) and found that the card's mounting hole would not line up with the case's mounting hole unless I tilted the card backwards, such that it was only partially recognized by windows because it wasn't making full contact with the mobo...

    Benchmarking a VM - excel & ycruncher

    Drat, and as you can tell I won't have the info you need, lol! Perhaps this is too general of a question, but if you had a monte carlo application that is essentially one big loop, for example (in very very simple terms) : for (i = 0; i<= 100,000,000; i++) { for (j = 0; j<= 100,000,000...

    Benchmarking a VM - excel & ycruncher

    Would reducing the number of VMs (E.g., going from 6 to 3) produce faster execution times of programs (e.g., Excel macros) then? I realize this is a broad question, I've just been trying to figure out if perhaps this means there's too many VMs, or if perhaps they're not configured properly...

    Benchmarking a VM - excel & ycruncher

    Sorry! (I was actually just thinking the same thing) Desktop is a i5 650 @ 3.2ghz; 8gig ram, 4 cores I'm unfamiliar with the VM setup; however, there are apparently 6 virtual machines, all the same. According to y-cruncher the vm details for the one I tested on are a x5650, 2.7ghz, 2gig...

    Benchmarking a VM - excel & ycruncher

    I'm a noob to a VM environment, but I'm trying to figure out if this is normal or not. On my desktop computer if I run ycruncher it calculates to 50M places in 40seconds. (yes, slooooooooooooooooooow, lol) If I run a financial Excel VBA macro, it takes 4minutes to execute. If I log...

    Question for the gamers

    But htat doesn't apply to every car. My Z06 makes my penis |................................| that much bigger than a regular corvette. Same with a ACR viper vs a regular viper. Come on, use good cars as a comparison, not a Z28 vs an SS camaro ;)

    E8500 overclocking?

    Picked up an E8500 - I really havn't been into overclocking since yeaaaaaaaaaars ago (pretty much when we were playing with jumpers on the mobo, haha), so I really don't know what this chip can/can't do safely. With an Asus p5q, artic cooler 7 freezer pro, can I just raise the FSB 10% (and...

    so what do you consider high resolution gaming?

    Overclocking XFX 8800 ultra doing nothing?

    I tried playing around with the o/c on my new 8800 ultra (xfx) - went from 612/1080 to 675/1130. In 3dmark05, I gained like 30 3dmarks. In some games I tested I gain maybe 1-2fps. Does that seem right - a ~10% overclock on teh card yielding absolutely nothing? I tried tuning with ntune, then...

    Question about applying thermal paste

    I've never applied thermal paste before, but I read allt he do/don't and did it - if I did it improperly and the chip were going to die as a result of its improper application, how quickly would it happen? Right away, or a few days/months/etc.....? It's been running several hours and...

    Quadro Fx1700

    In a non-gaming environment (geo-physics rendering environment), what type of geforce card would a fx1700 be equivilent to? I initially wanted to use some 7800GTXs in my workstations, but I'm being told ot use duel FX1700s instead....

    Having VPN problems?

    Apparently it was a negotiation problem - I tried all the settings, they all failed except for Force 100 full duplex. What i can't figure ot is why, for example, force 10 full duplex, or force 100 half duplex, or even autonegotation failed to pick it up?
