I'm looking for some software recommendations on how to sync two, maybe three computers using an external HDD. I have the following scenario: A cloud based solution seems like the right choice, but it's prohibitive since I will be transferring large amounts of data among these devices...

You see... this is one of the reasons I barely post on these forums. A lot of people telling that what the OP is trying to do is somehow wrong and illogical instead of addressing the problem at hand. Who do you guys think you are to tell him what he should or shouldn't do? Answer the damned...

I have a similar setup as yours (GTX 970), but running with a 2500k and Windows 8.1. I don't remember experiencing stuttering, but I had weird flashes as soon as I started a new game and turns out the ingame setting for Triple Buffering was the culprit, as mentioned on this thread over the...

Have a read at this paper: http://davepowell.org/media/teaching/operating-systems/handouts/COMP354-Lec02-KernelComparisons.pdf It compares microkernel to monolithic kernel architectures, giving you a good idea on how it's structured. OSes basically consist on an interface for handling your...

I'm using 7 on my gaming desktop, mostly because I haven't been bothered to switch to 8 yet. On my notebook, however, I've been using W8 since early this year and it's a smooth sail after I started using StartIsBack.

I got one of those back in January specifically for codemasters games (F1 2012, Dirt 3 and now Grid 2). It works perfectly fine, you can't go wrong with it. But, does the the non "for windows" version of the controller comes with the USB adapter? I was quite sure it didn't.

The games sales stats is a lie.

That's no longer true for quite a while (over a year?). AMD drivers feature individual application profiles just like nVidia does. Now, regarding drivers... I've had both cards and had to deal with both driver sets. Overall, they're pretty much the same nowadays in terms of...

Alright, thanks for the input so far. I will have a look at an active model, it's not that much more expensive anyways and my odds of success seem higher. Regarding brands, I'm considering Sapphire. It's also easier to get around here in local shops. Any negatives regarding adapters made by...

Currently I have two screens connected to my HD6950, each one on a different DVI port. I know I cannot connect a third monitor to the HDMI port as it shares the same clock gen with one of the DVI ports, so the only solution is using one of the two available displayport connections. My...

Ubuntu 13.04 (or any newer version). Just replace Unity with Cinnamon and everything is good.

It's interesting that you mentioned this, as I have the same card and one of its fans is starting to make some noise at mid/high rpms. And now I ask you: what would be an appropriate lubricant? Something silicone based?

Ok, thanks for the replies. I will give it a go this weekend and see how it goes by adding my gts250 into the equation. Another question, though. I'm currently running my two monitors through my DVI connectors. I noticed that my 6950 has two mini-displayport connectors though. Does anyone know...

So I've been reading that you can, in fact, run both nvidia and ati cards together on the same computer under windows 7 without issues, and even put them in hybrid crossfire/sli and have the nvidia gpu for physx. Ok, no problems so far. I also know you can have both cards running...
