    Incredibly slow web browsing on Windows Server 2012 R2

    OP here. I was about to start posting some Wireshark logs (sorry for my delayed responses, it has been a crazy week at work so far), but I saw this post and tried it. This fixed the problem! Although I haven't researched what ECN does under the hood, I noticed that you mentioned it isn't...

    Incredibly slow web browsing on Windows Server 2012 R2

    It's late now and I gotta get up early for work, but I can post some Wireshark results Tuesday. I have played around with different versions of the NIC drivers (and also different NICs) and nothing changes. Thanks for the replies, guys!

    Incredibly slow web browsing on Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi HardForum! I'm having some network troubles. I've seen posts about this sort of thing before, but never a resolution that fits the problem case at hand. Because I have a DreamSpark subscription through my academic institution, I'm using Windows Server 2012 R2 as a desktop OS. Basically...

    DVI + Audio to A/V Receiver

    If possible, I'd kinda like to keep the audio setup under $600. I know that's on the lower end of what these setups can cost, but I've seen some Onkyo receivers in the $200 - $300 range that seem to have garnered some praise. Given my budget and the fact that this is my first real foray into...

    DVI + Audio to A/V Receiver

    Awesome, thanks Doug. I already have the DVI->HDMI cable, but no audio cables or receiver yet. Also, 450, thanks for your reply too - This setup is really just starting to come together. Now that I moved into a place with a proper living room and TV, I transplanted an old gaming PC into an...

    DVI + Audio to A/V Receiver

    I also like the idea of buying a sound card, but I'm not sure what sound card can help me out here - the problem is that either a TV or AV Receiver are going to be looking for both audio and video from a given HDMI input. Do soundcards exist such that I could output some audio signal alongside...

    DVI + Audio to A/V Receiver

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I am fine with the idea of getting a new GPU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102933&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Video+Cards+-+AMD/ATI-_-Sapphire+Tech-_-14102933 comes to mind), but I am also using this machine as a...

    DVI + Audio to A/V Receiver

    So I assembled an old gaming PC (which you guys helped me build a few years ago!) into an HTPC; the video card is an 8800 GTS (640 MB if it matters). I have an issue with handling the audio here. The 8800 GTS has only DVI, no HDMI. Ideally, I would like the pass the audio and video from the...

    20WMGX2 as Television - Audio/Video Problem

    Thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned that none of the audio inputs work (I have tried both enabling "fixed audio input" and manually cycling through each audio input source with the fixed option disabled).

    20WMGX2 as Television - Audio/Video Problem

    I apologize if this is an inappropriate forum for the topic. I have a NEC 20WMGX2 that I'm hoping to use as a televsion. I have a Comcast cable box (I don't know the model off hand, although I can look this up if it becomes relevant) which I'm attempting to hook up with component video and RCA...

    Are normal laptops viable for gaming these days?

    Thanks for the replies, guys! I don't how the GX640 slipped off of my radar - that's a really nice machine. The G73 is a bit too large for my tastes - at that point I know I'd intentionally avoid taking it places because of the size (Before my current desktop, I had a 17" laptop and this was...

    Are normal laptops viable for gaming these days?

    A bit of background: It's come time to upgrade my system, and I've been using a desktop for the past few years (whose build was largely inspired by the gracious advice of [H] members! :D), and now that I've graduated and I'm heading to grad school, I want to get something new. I'm thinking...

    U7500 Question

    Alright, so I'm really considering a Fujitsu T2010 for my Tablet PC, as battery life is the most important factor for me in choosing what tablet I want (I spend most of my day on campus, and a large portion of this is spent in areas where access to AC power is dubious). I'm not planning on...
