I have an older 9 cell battery (FRU: 42T4912) for my older T series that's apparently compatible with: EDGE 14 EDGE 15 L410 L412 L510 L512 SL410 SL510 T410 T410i T510 T510i W510 I was wondering if I could reuse it if I bought a T520 and T530? I'm suspecting it may work because the current...

Is it possible at all to run a Thinkpad x230t with dual 1920x1200 monitors?

I'm considering a new build with 2x8Gb and then in a couple years adding another 2x8Gb (or higher). Is there anything special when buying 8GB sticks that I should know? Do I need to worry about things like ECC? Does mixing brands become more of an issue?

Does anyone have recommendations of how I can increase the size of my linux partition? I have a Windows 7 partition (NTFS) and a Linux partition (ext4).

Does anyone have any opinions about this product: Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVac http://www.amazon.com/Metro-Vacuum-ED500-500-Watt-Electric/dp/B001J4ZOAW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top as opposed to a small air compressor? What are the advantages/disadvantages to getting this over an air...

Are there any noticeable issues for people using PSUs with extenders for big cases? Are there specific cables I should try to avoid extending. For example, the 24 pin motherboard cable to power the CPU?

Requirements: Full tower Side Window Bottom mounted power supply (with PSU air intake from the bottom to get outside air) Dust filters (third party dust filter is fine) Right now, I've been staring at the CM HAF X. But I was wondering if anyone knew alternatives.

Has anyone had an issue with the cables of the HX850 being too short for full tower cases?

Looking at all the reviews for the CM HAF X full tower has convinced me this is the perfect case. But but I'm also considering the HAF 932 which is a bit cheaper. But one of the big features the 932 is missing is dust filters. Could anyone comment how well the dust filters on the CM HAF...

I have this kit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227269&cm_re=ocz_ddr2-_-20-227-269-_-Product which according to specs runs at 2.1V (I'm running at 2.0V). But I'm considering adding this kit...

I've setup a tightvncserver on a remote machine and I'm using an ssh tunnel via the command : ssh -f -N -L 5901:localhost:5901 [email protected] So MY connection to the remote machine is secure, but I don't like the fact that tightvncserver on the remote machine is hosting an...

I'm looking into a build for mostly running simulations and tests. The simulations will likely be both CPU and CUDA based. I'm wondering when if Sandy Bridge is the right CPU or does Intel have something more suited to my needs coming in the near horizon (in 2011). One of the key features of...

It's fairly well established that the thermal sensor on the CPU is considered inaccurate when testing the performance between different cooling solutions. But has anyone considered finding out how inaccurate that method is? For example, comparing [H]'s method of using a 'thermocouple milled...

At this point I feel I've invested enough into water cooling and I don't want to replace parts. I have a very old school setup composed of the following: '77 Bonneville Heatercore Swiftech Apogee (LGA 775 support) MCP-655B Pump Swiftech MCRES Micro The issue is the Swiftech Apogee...

After installing Ubuntu on a new thinkpad machine, I don't seem to have any way to boot into my recovery partitions anymore. Does anyone know how to restore the Thinkpad recovery partitions with GRUB2?

I'm returning a computer for repair and I need to remove all my personal data on it. I am going to use the restore partition to restore the computer back to its original state but I know that my old files can still be restored if the space they occupied isn't overwritten. Are there any...

Can anyone comment on this integrated GPU on the i3-370m processors? I can't find much information regarding its performance. It seems like it's substantially better than the GMA 4700, but I can find any review or legitimate benchmarks to back this up.

Does anyone have an issue with files which are connected to 'Libraries'. If I delete a file in a library, it continues to display in the Explorer window until I refresh the folder (F5).

It's getting close to 3 months and Adobe still hasn't delivered any news about Flash 10.1 for Linux 64 bit systems. Has anyone found alternative ways to Flash 10.1 in Linux 64-bit at this point? As much as I hope HTML5 puts an end to all these annoying issues, I still need Flash for the near...

I'm a little unhappy about this extra $5/mo cable rental fee and am considering buying my own modem. I was considering the Motorola Surfboards (not sure which model yet). According to this post: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1035197399&postcount=2 I should buy the same modem that my...

Does anyone know how to control pause/play/seek of this plugin? It seems completely featureless and plays the video automatically without any control. Are there other alternatives to playing in-browser divx in linux?

Is anyone having issues with Adobe's flashplayer in 64-bit linux? I'm noticing issues where flash video has substantial performance issues when it's fullscreened. The video stutters at times and some tearing occurs. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit with nvidia drivers.

My friend's computer recently had a virus which was removed with TrendMicro's HouseCall program. But after the removal it seems that the computer has had some issues with opening files. Whenever any .exe file is double clicked, Vista simply goes to a "Open With" window asking to use which...

I know this question has been asked before, but the last time was about 3 years ago. At this point the number of linux systems have grown substantially. I realize that linux uses the whole permissions scheme separating root from normal users, but that doesn't mean a virus won't be able to...

Does the warranty only become effective for most computer components if you register the product online when you receive it? Also, when does the warranty period start? the day you register online, the day you purchased the product or the day the product was manufactured. I'm just curious...

If I bought an LCD with a native resolution of 1920x1200, but some of the newer games I play tend to only do well up to a certain resolution (like 1680×1050) on my video card would I notice a substantial issue in image quality from the monitor due to interpolation?

Is there a list of benchmarks for the Intel Atom's from a reliable website? When I search for specific processors, I usually get reviews of entire systems compared against other mobile/micro PC systems. I've seen http://www.cpubenchmark.net/, but I'm not sure how reliable those results are...

I keep running into this articles by SemiAccurate when I search for upcoming rumors about cards. I know Charlie (D-whatever) is outright biased, but I was wondering if the other articles there not by him had more credibility.

So originally I had EasyBCD as my bootloader to load my Windows 7 system. After installing Ubuntu 9.10, grub took over as my bootloader. But whenever I selected the Windows 7 option in grub I would be presented with my EasyBCD bootloader again. So in an effort to prevent going through two...

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-1070 Specs seem decent although the 250 cd/m2 (typical) brightness rating worries me.

The visual profiler that came with CUDA gives an error when I attempt to profile this application. The error message is along the lines of "Error in profiler output.". Is there any way to confirm the application I'm testing is indeed using CUDA on the GPU?

This seems like a mistake, but every website which sells this monitor seems to use this value. What's going on here? Has the meaning of contrast ratio lost all validity in monitor specifications? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236075

Hi, in repsonse to this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1491092, could some [H] members post their monitor dimensions (from the top of the bezel to the bottom of the stand) here? Especially useful dimensions would be monitors that Newegg sells. If evilsofa if correct, Newegg...

When most websites give you the dimensions of the monitor, do they usually include the stand in the dimensions? Or is it just the dimensions of the screen? For example, on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254040 The monitor dimensions are given as 22.9" x...

I noticed that the VirtualBox snapshot system is very limited where if I revert to a previous snapshot, any future snapshots after that are lost. This becomes an issue when I'm testing different pieces of software and want to compare the state of the virtual machine during different states...

My transfer rate numbers seem a bit lower than the average I'm seeing for these drives in this forum as well as others. Does anyone know if there's something in the bios that I should enable? The scores are similar even when I run HD Tune in my Windows 7 64bit system (which this drive hosts...

Is there any way to check the fragmentation of my pagefile in Windows 7? I'm worried it may be fragmented now because my virus scanner deleted the file (while in another OS) and it was recreated when I restarted into the Windows 7 operating system.

At the moment I'm looking for free solutions. I'm looking for the virus scanner with the best detection rates. For my XP 32 system, I used a combination of Comodo and Avast! which appear to work very well. But I'm curious if there's a better combination out there.
