Currently I don't have any internal storage left to mount another drive so I'm wondering if I can get a portable USB 3.1 SSD and just install and run games off that? I know that it will work, but can those portable drives handle that kind of work load, or are they more meant for less demanding...
Edit: now dead.
Pretty damn hot deal for this tablet, especially when you consider it has a 120Hz OLED screen at 2560 x 1536. It has a MediaTek Kompanio 1300T, which is a really fast upper-midrange SOC. 128GB, 4GB RAM.
It's at Walmart online, $218, free 2-day shipping...
There is a remote execution attack that’s wiping those NAS drives completely. Evidently WD knew about this vulnerability for years and never patched it.
It happened to my MyBook Live Duo RAID1 NAS two days ago, when it seems this attack struck worldwide around that time. I went to access...
This is kind of a noobish question but here goes:
I don't game much these days and mainly use my computer for photo/video work and have always had dual monitors. My old GTX 660 needs replacing and I see that no new video cards use dual-DVI output connectors anymore. For a new card, I assume I...
I bought one out of curiosity and $9.99 with free shipping was fine by me even if I had no specific interest in the series (or EA). Anyway, it's at Best Buy for all platforms for $9.99 and shipping was free when I ordered...
This is something that always annoyed me. A new game comes out, and there are one or more videos giving a preview of the game and the videos only show cinematic scenes and not the game itself. I assume they feel that an impressive cinematic would make the viewer think the game either looked...
I use dual monitors, and my current card is a GTX660 with dual DVI outputs. I am looking for a replacement, but it seems that finding a dual-DVI card is very hard to find. I see most have a single DVI and also a DisplayPort now - is there a solution for that to use dual monitors? I am kind of...
Hi everyone,
I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 and I need to download Service Pack 1 for 64-bit Windows. When I go to the Microsoft download page, I'm presented with a number of download options and I'm not sure which one to get. Could somebody help me?
My system is Windows 7 64-bit...
Hey everyone, I was just wondering what the preferred app is not for monitoring CPU and GPU temps and fans, etc?
I used to use HWmonitor. Is that still the best one to use?
Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
I've been away from FPS games for some years now, and I have the itch to start playing multiplayer FPS and even a little single player stuff.
Generally speaking, what are the current state of affairs for COD and Battlefield? Right now I was leaning toward Battlefield 4...
Hi all,
I bought a Ducky DK2108S and I think it's a killer keyboard. One thing I notice though, is if I power down the computer while the keyboard LEDs are active, they will just stay lit with the computer off. At that point the only way to shut off the LEDs is to disconnect the keyboard or...
Hi all,
I am a photographer so I have a lot of files I keep backed up onto an external drive. I wanted to add an external drive to my computer that would just sit there connected to it so I can access my backed up files anytime I want, and additionally I would back up my files to the other...
Hey everyone,
I haven't updated my Nvidia driver in a while (GTX 465) and in past I used Driver Cleaner to remove the old Nvidia drivers before installing the new ones. Is this still required, or can you just install the new driver on top of the old one without uninstalling the old driver...
Hi everyone, I really need help from the community on this one...
I have a Dell XPS 720 which I've had since new. It has Vista 32-bit, fully updated. System specs are in signature. This machine uses the N-Force 4 chipset and is using the latest chipset drivers. The hard disk is always...
I'm a long time NOD32 user but I decided to switch to MSE. I was wondering if MSE gives the same protection in Firefox as it does in IE? I've been reading that it doesn't...
I'm currently running Vista32. On some older games (such as COD4), it runs a Direct X 9 installer during the install. My question is, since I already have DX11, would that mess anything up or does it actually try to install DX9 over DX11? Thanks :)

Hey everyone. My system had two 512MB 8800GT cards in SLI and I just removed them and installed a new GTX465 (no SLI). Would I be able to install one of my old 8800GT cards for PhysX? And if so, would the 8800GT work alright for that?
Thanks :)
I've been using Vista since launch, and I'm 100% happy with it. It's been fast (since SP1), rock solid, and reliable.
I was thinking of Windows 7, but I wanted to ask the experienced users here, would it be worth it? What exactly does Win7 do better than Vista? System in question is in...
I've been using Nvidia cards exclusively since I stopped working for 3dfx (and using their cards) back in December of 2000. I've always avoided ATI since I've been under the impression that ATI's drivers were always a bit sketchy. Has this changed and is there a reason for me to upgrade to...
Hey everyone, if you can help with this I appreciate it.
I have a cheap Dell I installed an MSI 8400GS into (this card) <-- Newegg link
I have the VGA output connected to a monitor. Would I be able to get a digital-to-analog adapter and connect the DVI-I to an LCD TV and use both displays...
Just need a quick opinion here. System is in sig - looking to do an SLI or single card upgrade soon. What do you guys think is the point where I'll be CPU limited?
Hey everyone,
I had a D-Link DGL 4500 router that worked perfectly until it died yesterday, so I replaced it with the Cisco Small Business WRVS4400N on a wired connection to my computer and cable modem.
The new router works fine, but whenever I play any game, once every few minutes my ping...
Likely an NES-on-a-chip, but still not bad for $25 shipped especially if you want to mod this thing.

Alright, so I have this old Dell PC with Windows XP and I figure I would use it for some old games. It's a low-end system, P4 2.8GHz, but no AGP slot - just old PCI. I don't want to use the integrated graphics, so would a PCI FX5200 be alright for Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament, etc?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up a plain dedicated HL server. System is a P4, 1.7 GHz, Windows XP SP3. Here's what I did:
-- Downloaded HLDS and the updater. I updated HLDS, no issues.
-- Forwarded ports on my router (D-Link DGL-4500), created a "game rule" for it using the Half-Life...

Alright, so I have two 8800GTs in SLI and they have stock coolers on them. They work fine at controlling temps, but the fans scream during COD4. What are some quiet coolers I can use that will fit in an SLI config without having to go to liquid?
