    cheap 3 monitor card for desktop

    I do the same thing in an Optiplex 980 SFF... it's a eVGA GeForce GTX 730. No PCIE power, capable of light gaming, it runs Minecraft fairly well. Running triple monitor, 1 VGA,1 HDMI, 1 DVI, all 3 on Dell U2410s @ 1920x1200...

    VMware View & Teradici VDIs -- do dual monitors really use two licenses for all SW?

    Thats the weirdest thing I've ever heard. We, too, use VMWare Client and VMWare VDI systems, but it doesn't use multiple licenses when only one copy of the software is open. We have dozens of users with multiple monitors that use the ERP software every day. The only time I've seen multiple...

    is using a tv for a monitor a bad idea?

    Seconded on depending on quality of the TV. I myself use a Sharp Aquos 32" 1080P set on one of the video settings that doens't dynamic adjust the backlight to 'increase' the contrast. Works great -- I've been using for probably 8 years like that. Never had a problem with it. Text is crystal...

    older computer does not want to post

    Yank everything out of the case and perform a bare bones boot test. Basically -- yank the motherboard out and leave only a CPU, one stick of ram, and video on it. Place the board on a NON-CONDUCTIVE SURFACE and attempt to boot it while it's out of the case. If it doesn't boot there, it's...

    Free Texts Pose Threat to Carriers

    I thought text messages were jammed in the 'empty space' of the voice data packets anyway? Effectively we are being charged for them using wasted space. Go figure. :rolleyes:

    Old sk00l server: C440GX+ and 2x P3 Xeon 700Mhz Help?

    I've come into possession of 4 identical P3 Xeon 700MHz Slot 2 processors and a C440GX+ motherboard. I'd like to turn this into my webserver (very small load, probably 30 hits a month.. max). Anyway.. long story short, I think I need VRMs and I don't know which I need or where to even find...

    Best bang for 200-300 bucks?

    I play on my 1080P HDTV, but often I only go as far as 720P because of current hardware limitations. I don't plan on upgrading my HDTV anytime soon. Thanks for all the replies.

    Best bang for 200-300 bucks?

    Evenin' all.. Getting ready to put together a kickass computer surrounding the quad core i7 CPU and likely an EVGA motherboard with 6 gig of ram... big stumbling block is the video card. I've not been following the video card leg of the tech sector lately, frankly because most of it is so far...

    9800GX2 or 8800GTS SLI?

    Puttin a new computer together. I have quite a few video board options. Already going to go with the the EVGA 790i Ultra board with the Q9300 Quad Intel @ 2.5GHz and at least 4 gig of DDR3 ram. the question is, which has the better performance? Two 8800GTS SLI'd? Or a single 9800GX2? This...

    NVIDIA 750i, 780i, 790i Graphics corruption?

    Hrmm.. maybe it's just the EVGA motherboards that are having nasty issues? From what I read on the EVGA forums and NewEgg reviews, everybody is blaming the NVidia chipsets.

    NVIDIA 750i, 780i, 790i Graphics corruption?

    I've been looking at the EVGA motherboards containing any of the 750i, 780i, or the 790i chipsets from NVidia. I keep reading that ALL the 7xxi series contains this whatever bug is creating massive headaches with the graphics corruption, then hard locks on any videos whatsoever? What's the...

    Asking for input about on-the-fly DTS/DDL encoding cards...

    I'm currently using an old SBLive! 5.1 via 3 analog plugs that sort of up convert stereo MP3s to 5.1. Like I said.. sortof. Long story short? I have a ground loop I'm attempting to eliminate. I want a sound card that will do the same thing as the SBLive! 5.1, except via digital optical...
