Hello, I currently have dual monitors hooked up to a single ATI HD6800 card using DVI. I have the TV in the same room as my computer and I wanted to duplicate one of the desktops on the HDMI-out in order to stream video directly. When I connect the HDMI-out and try to do this, the ATI...

I'm putting my new rig together tonight, and I noticed that my Antec P183 case has pre-installed steel standoffs. They align fine with my board, but will they cause damage to my rig? Is it better to screw in brass risers on top of the steel ones, or am I good to go as is?

Greetings, I live on a university campus and have access to multiple ISP's. Over the college network, there is a great internal file sharing service which utilizes DC++. The problem is when I am transferring files over DC++, I cannot game and my college connection is fairly unresponsive...

I'm thinking about getting a portable wifi device for email, light web browsing, and maybe voip. I already have a laptop, but I want something more convinient I can just pull out of my pocket and flick on. I've considered a blackberry, but the monthly fees are a killer... If possible, I'd...

Anyone have a gaming blog that they follow regularly? I'm looking for something on par with Engadget.com & Gizmodo.com but for PC gaming news/rumors.

Looking for a replacement 478 board that went bad. For a torrent rig. Would like to spend 20-30$. Just wondering if anyoen has seen any good deals.

Can anyone direct me to an article that explains the technology difference between P4 and C2D? Back in the day it was all about Ghz... now there seem to be many different factors that affect processor preformance. I suppose the thing I am finding most confusing is exactly how FSB works...

Hello, I just put together my new rig yesterday evening, and had the front of my case open because I was swapping CD's. I turned to swivel in my chair and the door caught and broke off. Upon inspection, it seems that one fo the top little plastic 'nubs' (for lack of a better word) sheared...

I have this on a C2D 6400. It came with compound already applied, so rather than scraping it all off, cleaning it and reapplying arctic 5, I just popped it on as is. Will I notice significant cooling preformance if I pop it back off, clean it up, and use ASilver 5? Thanks! [edit]...

Greetings. I have always been under the impression that when you install dual channel memory, you always put the two sticks in slots with matching colors. The manual for the P5B-E does not make this clear at all, and is kind of confusing. I just wanted to double check with someone who...

Anyone have any experience with Tigerdirect.com? Seems like one of the only places stocking the 8800gts that doesnt charge tax to CA. 479 +tax @ the egg =/. Want evga or bfg. Thx.

Greetings, The Antec case comes with 9 standoffs welded onto the mobo panel. The Asus P5B-E only has 6 holes. These pre-installed standoffs are not brass (I can only assume they are steel). There is no way to remove them that I can see. My question - will this pose a problem for my...

The mobile computing forums dont seem very active recently. Perhaps someone here can help: Looking to get a laptop for my wife. She does alot of Adobe CS2 work and wants to get into some flash design. I think a 15" widescreen is sufficient, but may consider a 17" for the right price. Prefer...

Looking to get a laptop for my wife. She does alot of Adobe CS2 work and wants to get into some flash design. I think a 15" widescreen is sufficient, but may consider a 17" for the right price. Prefer intel C2D, but again - will consider a dual core AMD for the right price. We have about...

I am going to buy an 8800GTS. I haven't had any experience with either companies. Anyone have any suggestions? I think eVGA has a lifetime warrenty on all their products... unsure about XFX. Thanks!

Been looking at this ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7. Anyone have experience with that particular fan? I want something quiet for my new 6300 build. Will be OCing.

Looking at the Antec nine hundred as the house for my new rig. Only downside I've found is they suck up alot of dust (they're pretty transparent) and no removable mobo tray. I realize case selection is very personal, but I thought folks out there might have some favorites they could share...

Looking at an eVGA 8800GTS. One at circuit city is 10$ cheaper, but has a slightly different model number. Wondering if anyone sees a difference before I order. Thx. the egg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130071 the city...

Wondering if there is an egg alternative that does not charge sales tax to CA orders. Adds up on a 800$ order =) Thx

Say I were buying a new rig. The prices on the 939 Opterons are very attractive, however it looks like the series is coming to an end. Would I be better off going with the newer Intel Core 2 Duo's for future 'upgradeability'? Are they a real step up from standard dual core?

Think its worth waiting another few weeks before buying a 7950? Seems only natural that we should see further reduction in price on the 7900 line eh?

I'm toying with the idea of grabbing that 20.1 Benq on the egg for gaming. Alot of games support widescreen, however I noticed that BF2 does not. There are workarounds by using the command line, however it just stretches the view (and cuts off part of the top and bottom). I was wondering...

I want to pick up a 7900 GTO, but haven't been able to find it in stock at any major sites. I'm on the list on the egg, but was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could pick one up. Also, as an alternative how is the evga 7900GT...

I'm putting together an Opteron rig (using either the 165 or 170) combo'd with a DFI nF4 motherboard. For a video card, I was considering a 7900 GS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814150183) This is my first AMD system (currently running a p4/ati rig), and I'm not...

I'm currently running a P4/AGP rig, and thinking about switching to AMD/PCI-E - but I want to stick with socket 939 in order to keep my DDR1. I've been considering an Opteron CPU, but am not very familiar with the technology. Does anyone have a good motherboard suggestion to pair with...
