    Need to set up quad monitors.

    Don't know what the motherboard supports yet as I haven't bought that yet either. This will be a totally new system I'm building.

    Need to set up quad monitors.

    So I have a question about setting up dual or quad monitors. Basically I'm trying to setup a system with four 24" monitors. Can I just get a vid card with two DVI outputs to output to two 24" monitors a piece? The main reason i ask is that on newegg, every vid card I can find says that it's...

    Lapping my QX6700!

    polishing = good = flat. Wet sanding is needed, water is used. I would have gone beyond 1500 grit though when sanding, probably up to 4000 at least for me.

    I'm going to purchase the 2407wfp monitor

    I have the soundbar. I wanted it because i didn't want speakers on my desk space. It sounds pretty good, there is very little bass response, that's all. After a while i came across my old boston acoustics sound system from our old gateway with a sub, so i mounted the speakers underneath my...

    Anyone else see this new Dell monitor?

    Yeah that is really cool and I'd actually maybe consider getting one if it's 24inch.

    The Virus Spreads: Gloss Screens

    Maybe on the glossy monitors they should start using the slimlight stuff that help keep glare down, kinda like they do on glasses and museum glass sometimes. It can make a big difference.

    One missing cap off a 3.2ghz P4 lga775

    I'd just try it out. Knowing me i wouldn't have even noticed it missing. I really doubt it'd do any damage to your motherboard if it doesn't work.

    QX6700 or X6800

    Well the X6800 appears to be 2.93 GHz and the Q6700 is 2.66 GHz. So i'm going to guess that the 2.93 is faster than the 2.66 without overclocking :p Really it all depends if your programs are mutlithreaded. If they are not, then the faster CPU wins, if they are then the more cores wins.

    so i have a dead hd, however...

    Usually when i had drives that die it lags the crap out of windows. I think it's trying to talk to the drive because it knows it's there and the thing doesn't respond, so windows waits for a response. Eventually it'll time out and move on and assume she's dead.

    lapped my q6600 (pics and temp results)

    Going beyond 800 likely doesn't show any difference as the thermal compound should fill everything in and make it have very good contact. I'm wondering what would happen if you made them absolutley perfect and polished them both then just pressed them together with quite a bit of force. I...

    lapped my q6600 (pics and temp results)

    I would buy a used lapped Q6600... as long as they at least guaranteed me it would work on arrival and not just be a DOA.
