    Need help using router as repeater/bridge/thingthatconnecttoanexistingnetwork

    So I am trying to set up a bridge/repeater as per awesome diagram. First off, is this a repeater network? wireless bridge? The netgear router has a nifty option to set it in repeater mode, but the linksys has issues being connected directly to the modem. So I am now trying to make the...

    Video Card Issues I cant seem to get rid of (screen tearing, checkering, CTD's)

    So for now, my tearing and checkering issues have been reduced to a single scan line on my third monitor, which tbh, doesn't really bother me since its in my peripheral vision anyway. The only thing that has changed is that the scan line is no longer slowly moving upwards, but extremely slowly...

    Video Card Issues I cant seem to get rid of (screen tearing, checkering, CTD's)

    Ok, I installed the hotfix, and the checkering and majority of the tearing went away! :D but now I'm having issues with crossfire not working 100% :mad: Issues like crossfire getting disabled, one core clock running at overclock speed and the other at hardware defaults, etc.... :confused: I...

    Video Card Issues I cant seem to get rid of (screen tearing, checkering, CTD's)

    Like the title said, I've been having various issues which I am pretty sure are graphics related that I cant seem to iron out. Mainly, despite gaming with vsync enabled, disabled, and all combinations in between, (both via the catalyst control center, and/or the application settings) I still...

    Computer stutters when online

    Ok, so an update: After erasing all the old drivers, and updating the card with the newest version, the stuttering finally stopped. However, the card kept losing network connection after 5 minutes or so and refused to reconnect until after a restart, only to repeat the problem. During the 5...

    Computer stutters when online

    I have no antivirus, and have all the updated/reinstalled drivers for both cards. I haven't really downloaded stuff (this is a new build) other than the windows updates and the like, so i doubt its a virus. I tried the D-link card again, and stuttering stopped \o/ of course now I have to...

    Computer stutters when online

    I am having a weird problem that I cant pinpoint. For some reason, whenever I go online, or have a program that downloads stuff (i.e. steam) tries to go online, about 80% of the time my entire computer starts stuttering. The stutters last anywhere from .5 to 4 seconds and occur every 1-3...

    Time for a new computer, need some (lots of) advice

    I was intending on using Raid for performance. I know that RAID =/= Backup, and I do have a small backup external hdd for all my important stuff. Since raid 5 is out of the picture anyway, the only thing I was considering was having my two old 500 gb drives in raid 1 for program files and the...

    Time for a new computer, need some (lots of) advice

    Okay, so after abit of looking around I found that I could not improve on Danny Bui's build. So this is pretty much what I have finalized. I included the harddrives in the total cost, but am planning on holding off on that purchase until I need it. However, I still have a few questions...

    Time for a new computer, need some (lots of) advice

    Thanks, Danny, this is pretty much what I was I looking for! I do have two questions: I'd like to keep my P180 case. Its roomy, quiet, and I love the look. Plus, if the graphic cards are extra long, i can remove the drive bay to make room. Any reason you recommended the other cases (other...

    Time for a new computer, need some (lots of) advice

    In terms of games that already are out there, I would like to be able to play DCS: A10C on all three monitors with high graphics. Also games like Mass Effect 2, Portal 2, Starcraft 2, EVE: incarnia, various FPS's, etc etc. Not planning on playing 3d games per se. If I do, I wouldn't mind just...

    Some overclocking questions

    okay, a bit of an update: using rivatuner and Rthdribl i was able to get the core up to 490 from 279 mhz and the mem up to 1377 from 1260. the weird thing was, putting the core any higher did not do anything until i reached 501, and then the actual core speed would jump from 490 to 513 mhz...
