Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

I wasn't intending for the computer to be overclocked (I prefer prioritizing longevity to maximizing performance), but my girlfriend will be the one using it and she might have different ideas. As far as special requirements, other than rendering as quickly and consistently as possible, I can't...

Hi, I’m trying to build a computer for professional motion graphics work (using programs like Cinema4D and Adobe After Effects). I’m planning to use an [Intel Corei9 9900K] and a [MSI NVIDIA RTX 2070 GAMING Z 8G]. I’ve found several highly recommended motherboards for what I’m doing, but...

Well, I'm paying for a 140Mbps internet connection, so a router that can handle that would be best. That's a good point you made about the interface language. I'm pretty competent with Japanese, but I'd still prefer router settings to be in English.

Well, that's a bit disheartening. I had this router mailed to me from home because I figured it was cheaper than buying a new one here. It didn't occur to me that it would so limited. I guess that plan sort of backfired. Thanks for the advice. I'll start researching new routers.

You think the hardware is simply incapable of the speed I'm trying to use it at? I'll give some specific numbers. To clarify I am using a wired connection for all of this. Without router: Speedtest ratings = ~45-50Mbps Fastest Steam DL = ~80Mbps With router: Speedtest ratings = ~25Mbps...

Hello, I recently hooked my router up to my cable modem and was disappointing to find my internet connection halved or worse. Here's all the relevant information I could think of. Cable internet through JCOM (in Japan) Router: WRT54GL V1.1 Modem: Motorola SURFboard SB6180 I have tried...

Almost? That kind of makes it sound like you'd still recommend the Sager. Does anyone know what speed DDR3 the DV6 has? I can't seem to find it anywhere. The sager actually has 1600 which is faster than most in the range.

Did you buy through the HP site? Any comments on HP customer service? Was the bloatware reasonable on it? It definitely seems worth considering if I could get what I customized on the HP website. DV6s from newegg or other places are way more expensive though.

I was able to make a DV6t through the HP site that's near what I want(i5-2430M CPU w/ Radeon 7690M): http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/load_configuration.do?destination=review&config_id=7160625 Why did you choose the DV6 in the end? How is it for build quality? Thanks for the...

The 1080p option is nice, other laptops in the same price range don't offer it. From what I've read I got the impression a 630m could play WoW at high settings alright. Notebookcheck.net says the 540m (which is very similar to 630m) can run WoW on high at 45 FPS. The other option I was...

I'm looking for something that's durable and dependable for general computing use for $500 to $800. I do want it to have a dedicated GPU, but I don't want a "gaming laptop". I'm using WoW as a benchmark, if it can handle that high settings than it's good enough for what I need. I was looking...

Has anyone had any experience with this laptop? http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np3260-clevo-w250es-p-4339.html I can't seem to find reviews or impressions of it anywhere. On paper it looks fantastic, and I know that Clevo in general is well regarded. But I'd really like to know more about this...

Hello, I've been looking to buy a laptop before I leave the country in August. There are several good looking options out now, but I'm wondering if there isn't about to be a surge of laptops with new tech. Specifically Ivy bridge CPUs and Kepler GPUs. Does anyone know if laptops using these are...

I've been looking at buying the same thing and I agree with you, can't seem to find a better deal. I'm curious to hear your impressions after getting it.
