Ok great thanks, I will look through that. Would it even be worth it to look at AMD or are they just so far behind in processing power its not even worth it? I am looking at building a system under about $1200

Hello! It has been quite some time since I have been on this forum, I used to be quite active about 10-12 years ago. I am going to be building a new desktop that I will primarily be using for GNS3(network design setups) with Oracle virtual box...these applications can be very CPU and memory...

I found this on newegg, and I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with it... PowerColor Go! Green AX5750 1GBD5-NS3DH Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131346...

Side note: I plan on waiting around for a video card until the 6000 series comes out from ATI. I currently have 8600gt that I can use in the mean time.

Hi All, I have been out of the game for a few years, and would like some input on what hardware to go after when upgrading my system... 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming, web browsing, virtual machines, etc 2) What's your budget? Are...

I will have to go with the Intel Pentium 4 2.4C (800mhz FSB). This was my first computer build about 7 years ago, I overclocked that bad boy to 3ghz and its still running and in use to this day!...not for me, of course, for my parents.

great thanks guy, I appreciate the heads up on the 6000 series release. It definitely makes sense to hold off a few days!

BenQ FP202W- my mistake, its a 20.1".

Right now my screen is 19" W at 1680x1050...I am also thinking of upgrading to a larger 23" screen with at least 1920x1080

Ok great, how is that going to compare to the NVIDIA cards? My PSU... ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT 500W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

I just recently purchased Star Craft 2, and I attempted to play it with an 8600gt I bought a couple years ago, and it was a less than pleasurable experience. My other components are an older CPU as well a Core 2 Duo E6600 and 4GB of memory, should be sufficient. So I thought about upgrading my...

Yes I tried that as well, still nothing.

I was in a time crunch and ended up reimaging the machine, and now it works. Still don't know the resolution. Thanks for all your help!

I tried that as well, still no luck.

Yes I have tried the FQDN as well, with no luck. I am truely stumped :confused: Is there a way to reset the WINS settings?

Yes I can ping the server by the server name

Ok I did try that winsockxpfix without any luck. I also tried the command line netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt without any luck as well. Any other ideas?

Yes they are on seperate networks, this is for a larger corporate MAN consisted of thousands of computers. Every other computer on the network doesn't have a problem accessing the share by its name. There is a firewall in place, and that doesn't seemt to be causing the problem. I am not...

I am having trouble accessing a network share by its name from a specific computer. When I type in \\networkshare into the run command, I get an error of "Windows cannot find '\\networkshare' check the spelling and try again..." Now the weird part is I can access the share by its IP address...

awesome, I think I will be looking into the 1366 socket, because I want my system to be future proof and easy to upgrade in the future to a 6 or 8 core cpu. Now as far as a video card, do you think I will be ok with 1 or should I go for 2 videocards in SLI?

Great thank you guys...looks like it is definately possible to build a nice system within my budget! You say Socket LGA1156 is not future proof for 6-8 core CPUs. Which socket is future proof for upgrade?

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Photoshop and video editing 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $800 before tax and shipping 3) Where do you live? chicago 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc...

I am looking to build a new computer mainly for photo and video editing.... my budget is $800...not including monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc...I have been out of the customer system build scene for a couple years since core2duo first came out...so I am not quite up to date on the hardware...I...

I am looking to purchase a netbook in the next few days, primary use will be for on the go computing for school work. Key features to include are... long battery life, I have seen some netbooks rated up to 9hrs. So as close to that as possible. I have pretty large hands, so a 10"...

I was on newegg.com today looking for a NAS, and there are just too many to sort through it is overwhelming. I have come here before for advice on equipment, and I come here again. What would you recommend for a NAS system. I want something with at least 1TB of space, FTP, RAID 1, print...

Personally I would not recommend any DLP, I think the picture just looks terrible...simply because its projection. At any sort of angle you get the washed out look or hazy look. Buy an LCD you will not be disappointed, or if you want to go a little cheaper...you can pick up a 50" Samsung...

Ok I got rid of those sample videos, but as far as getting rid of the other folders I have tried that numerous times, with no success. You would think Microsoft would at least give you the "delete" option.

i have the harmony 1000, and using the web set up....i was able to get it configured in minutes...it is awesome and works well. btw i am using the receiver that came with my ati 550 theater card.

Alright so I am pretty new to using Windows Media Center and I am in the process of building my home theater and ripping my library of movies. WMC seems to be pretty straight forward with its customization, but I am having one hell of a time getting the folders I want in the Video Category...

OK so I have 1TB of HDD space, and I am on a mission to RIP my DVD library to my computer so I can set up my HTPC and use WMC to watch all of my movies... what is the best way of going about this? ripping DVDs to .avi format? or what would be better?

I am in the market for some wireless headphones. I currently have a crappy pair of sony earbuds, and I dont want the wire hanging all over my bench at work while I am working. I will mainly be using these while at work, which is an 8hr shift...so I would want them to last that long with out...

I may be shooting from the hip here, but I do a lot of hardware repairs on laptops, and I have found that bad CPUs can cause this.
