bump for new warranty info

fingertip, mostly. i do not usually have my palm resting on the mouse but rather behind it.

i just went through the process of finding a new mouse to replace my aging MS IntelliMouse Explorer that i really liked. after much searching and many reviews, i bought a Logitech MX500 and would recommend it to others. it is wired, and i'd prefer wireless, but all the "good" wireless mice are...

to parrot what others have said: your HDMI to TV and DVI to monitor configuration ought to work just fine, though your experience and frustration level will be much better if they are both the same resolution, say 1080p. i had a wonderful 1680x1050 Samsung monitor that i sold for a newer 1080p...

i've got a 2500k/P67/8gbRAM combo with a Radeon 6850 and can run any game i've tried @ 1080p at max settings. your 5850 is basically the same card (slightly faster, actually), so upgrade your CPU/motherboard/RAM before worrying about your video card.

why are you changing video cards at all? your GTX 480 ought to run just about any game out now @ 1080p with full/high details. upgrading for the future is cool, though it doesn't help you now.

is English your first language? this title is ugly! as to your actual question... a good PSU will perform better than a higher wattage rated "bad" PSU, so buy quality and do not be so concerned with numbers. there have been several posts here with links to PSU reviews, so check those out and...

if your computer works well enough for most of your applications and only give you troubles in some games, just get a new video card. you've got a 3GHz dual-core CPU and 8gb RAM, so you aren't exactly using a dinosaur. most games have the video card as the weak link, so that ought to be your...

hehe... "tool-less" installation. good one. ;)

i'd recommend 4gb RAM over 2gb as it will only be a few dollars more expensive, yet give you a much smoother experience with your computer. an external power supply makes sense as it will be smaller in your case and probably less heat too, common concerns of every small computer build. please...

i'd recommend a better sound card or receiver setup to drive the audio configuration. it is possible on most receivers to run 2.1 or 4.1 speaker setups effectively eliminating the center speaker. try not to get a different speaker model than your AV40 as the sound will suffer and the illusion...

very true, so avoid this scenario as your quality of audio will suffer. those AV40 speakers are probably the best speakers for $100-150, so keep them. if you are making a custom monitor stand/rack, figure out a way to put the speakers on it too. they are small and shouldn't be too much of a...

nVidia cards from the GT 240 and up pass audio signals just fine via HDMI, so if you can, just skip using a sound card and go HDMI. if not, since you play games 90% of the time, get a Creative something-or-other sound card as these are the "gamers" cards and have EAX and all that b.s.

generally speaking, sound cards only play sound through one output at a time. there are exceptions, of course, and they involve higher-end aftermarket sound cards, not onboard sound... since you've tried most ins and outs of your onboard sound to no avail, i'd recommend looking for a cheap...

get an external DAC over a sound card if headphones are your biggest concern. an aftermarket sound card has more input and output options than onboard sound can offer, though it doesn't seem like that matters to you. an external DAC will offer better sound for your high-end headphones and...

looks decent. i'm interested.

once you get your Asus soundcard, you'll have 2 soundcards to use, so you should not need a splitter any more. if you are still getting noise, try a cheap headphone amp, as suggested above. here is a good article comparing some <$100 headphone amps...

best speakers for ~$100: M-Audio AV-40 they normally run about $150 a pair, though i bought mine for $100 when they were on sale. i'm not familiar with the speakers or amp mentioned above. sorry.

i'm subscribing to this thread as i'd like to know about a good way to calibrate a monitor...

i run 4 sticks of identical RAM without issue on a P67 motherboard. i bought a pair originally, then upgraded with another pair a few months later. no problems with the install or use. i do remember a few years back with an older 775 motherboard having issues with 4 sticks, so i'm hoping this...

like other have written, get a new video card (GTS 450 or Radeon 5770 or better) and a power supply and at least 4gb RAM and i bet your Dell CPU will handle SWtOR just fine. it's not one of the more hardware demanding games.

i have been using a 2500k for the past 9 months that will overclock to 4.4 easily, though i just run in at stock 3.3 cause my video card (Radeon 6850) is the weak link in gaming, so there is no point in the extra heat and power needed to overclock my CPU. i also surf the web, watch movies, and...

post a pic, please... i'd like to see what 5 monitors in a row look like during gaming.

RMA your card. obviously the monitors both work, and you did swap cables between the monitors, so that isn't your problem either. therefore, it must be the card.

you ought to be able to run 2 monitors with 2 different video cards assuming you are using Windows 7 (not sure about other OS).

you suggested a $280 video card? didn't you notice the first word in the title is cheapest? hmm...

oh yeah, and i use some < $20 Sennheiser CX300 ear buds for my more-than-around-town motorcycle adventures. i much prefer low volume house music while riding as it's sufficient to cover up road and wind noise while allowing the much more pleasant engine and exhaust notes to get through to me...

here is a great article to get you started with headphone amps: Music On A Budget: Sub $100 Portable Amps Shootout while i have not tried this model myself, it seems that the FiiO E7 may work well for you as it has "USB audio decoding and output for PC, functioning as a high quality external...

2nd the Radeon 6850, though $100 used to $120 new with rebate seems a more realistic price range. i just bought my 6850 for $100 this week... if your motherboard supports 2 PCI-E video cards, however, you can just use 2 cheap cards for video output, like nVidia GT 240. these have HDMI ports...

Avast is my regular, with Malwarebytes being the specialty hitter in case something happens (like a friend already has a virus and needs help cleaning).

umm... this is the Operating Systems forum.

starting @ $469 for supporting just 2 monitors? i'll pass... that's more than 2x what i paid for my Ergotron 4 years ago...

i vote Ergotron as well. i bought a "Ergotron LX Dual Desk Mount Arm" from Buy.com 4 years ago for $190 shipped and believe it was worth the money. it can hold 2 monitors, 2 laptops, or 1 of each. adjusts to almost any position and holds steady. only downside: a lot of monitors do not have...

wow... those "Suren Manvelyan" close-ups are amazing! the eye looks like a foreign planet.

thanks for the recommendations, folks... i like and use ImgBurn and recommend it. i'll be checking out BurnAware Free and CDBurnerXP soon...
