what is the easiest way to share a 700MB file across the internet? Free would be my only option btw.

All the stuff online that says dual monitors are giving people problems in games and fps is dropping seem to be from the 6600 vid card(couple of years old) days. Is this still an issue now? I never really ran any benchmarks with my games so I don't know if I am seeing any fps drop (nothing...

Basically as the title says, what all can I check before I buy a used LCD monitor. I get to see it in person and definitely will hook it up to a laptop to see the image first. Other than looking at some solid backgrounds on full screen to see if any busted pixels exist, is there any other tests...

All the computers in the house connect to the same router but the home pc's are in a workgroup. I have a work laptop that I need to get to share a printer in the house. The work laptop is part of a domain and does not see the printer or the home network. I hope I explained that correctly. How...

Frys have the r150 for 60$ shipped and newegg has the swans for 100-110$ shipped. I currently have this old hand me down Sony TA-AV601 that is running some sony wood cabinet speakers. They are huge and the receiver pumps out a ton of heat. The left speaker also cuts out intermittently and it...

Do you prefer looking down an actual barrel and sights or just a simple crosshair? Newer games I noticed have all been Iron sights with a few offering the option to switch to just a crosshair and it tends to bug me personally. I see where it adds some difficulty and realism but damn I hate...

Just wanted to make sure that the inverter was most likely busted before I go on ebay and buy the parts. I got this laptop which works fine but the screen goes dim after staying on for a second or two only. I can toggle the lid sensor and it will come back on but go very dim again. This is the...

I've always clicked on the newegg link on the forums ads and so on rather than going directly to the retailers website to order something in the hopes that they tracked people coming from the forums and ordering. Not knowing much about how all that works... Does this actually make a...

I was using the 93.71 drivers until I had issues with the newer games in the orange box from valve. Then I upgraded to the newer (using driver cleaner and safe mode etc) 6.14.11.6371 drivers and the new games work fine except now in Peggle and CS1.6 I get all these weird lines and colours like...

only requirements be that you actually post on this forum on a somewhat regular basis. No noobie tags with 1 post or anything is what I mean. Thanks to 'nick anderson' I got to play HL2 and ended up buying the orange box and would like to return the favour to the forums. HL2 gift via steam...

I have a laptop that I did a fresh install of XP on (not using factory restore cd as I have a couple of extra keys.) However because I didn't have a floppy drive for the SATA drivers, I couldn't get it to recognize my laptops HD (compaq presario v5209us) during the XP install. Some places online...

I have a 7900gs that came with this svideo cable but it looks like it has RGB RCA jacks and from reading online that is called component video. I cannot figure out how to connect this to my TV which only has the Y,White,Red RCA jacks. Can I buy a small converter or do I need to inverst in...

It is a close friend of mine who bought the laptop and then went through rma hell for 2 months trying to get bad memory replaced by the company. He ended up buying another laptop and wanted to sell the compaq presario v5209us that came back from warranty fixed. It has 90 days of warranty left...

Am I just not seeing it or is it gone? Talking about the show new posts button up top that used to be there. Is it coming back?

Just got a new drive and wanted to partition it for OS and storage. 320GB drive. Is a 80GB partition overkill for OS, games, and apps? The rest of the 240GB would be for storage, along with another 120GB drive for storing stuff. Currently my OS drive with apps only is using around 16GB...

Crashes to the desktop when I try to talk to him. Any suggestions on how to figure out what causes the crash? Tried it with clean install and same thing. Can I just ignore his missions and finish the game still? I have saved games from v1.0000000000000000 and don't want to play through the...

Maybe a stupid question but I was wondering if a windowed side panel is going to lead to any increase in noise from my case?

I can brush the power button on the front of the case and the thing will shut off. Is there anything I can do, maybe delay the amount of time somehow?

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148140 I am at school and can't dig through search threads and need to pick this up today for folks...

I have a netgear mr814 (v1) wifi router (http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/MR814v1.asp) and a motorola sb5120 cable modem setup in the house. My question is that when connected directly to cable modem my download is 25Mbps and upload is 770Kbps. When connected through router (all wired...

Home depot - 11$. Slight curve to it. 2 mins to install and easy to remove/adjust if ever needed later. Holds the wires too and doesn't take up my desk space like the regular headphone racks / banana holders. Been using it for a month or so now and it helps keep shit neat.

Was chatting with the mother yesterday and my computer came up. Just as a reference point she was asking me how much my computer would cost if I bought it prebuilt from a company. I don't care if the company is ava, dell.... Just looking for a rough retail estimate for my computer if I had not...

Tried rocketdock, rklauncher and object dock. I mainly use the windows key + d to get back to my desktop for starting apps and such and wanted to know if there was any dock software or any sort of tweak that would allow me to always show the dock on the desktop. I don't want the dock always on...

As the title says. I just ordered the rev B version of this heatsink and was expecting to dremel the mounting clip to fit my ds3 board as it apparently didn't clear the capacitors around the processor from what I read online. I opened up the package and found that I didn't have to do anything...

My dad is really into playing freecell and spider solitaire but those games are only on the windows xp box at his house. His work laptop runs windows 2000 pro. He will not buy 3rd party versions of the game as something about the way the game calculates and the algorithms used being different in...

https://www.jab-tech.com/Scythe-NINJA-PLUS-Rev.B-6-Heat-Pipes-CPU-Cooler-pr-3538.html Like the title says. Someone call newegg and tell them that this is now cheaper than their Freezer Pro 7 by 5$ Comes out to $43.54 shipped to Pennsylvania.

Will it fit? Is this a the best heatsink I could buy for 45$? I was considering the ac freezer 7 pro but that ends up being 35 in most places that have it in stock. Is the infinity worth the 10$ more?

I searched and found solutions but none of them work. What next? I have 2 HD, both WD. The one I use for my OS is 40GB and the other one is 160GB. I recently wanted to install windows to the 160GB drive and only use that but it would always install windows and then hang when trying to boot...

I wanted to thank all the people who post in this forum and in my threads because you all are a huge resource whenever I am trying to figure out my computer. I used an athalon 1Ghz for a really long time and never got into overclocking because a lot of my parts were generic and not the best. My...

Like the title says, my stock intel (e6300) hs fan will spin for a couple of seconds then stop, case speaker beeps and it restarts again. This goes on for a bit and then it rights itself. Maybe a day or some random time later it restarts again. I reset the plug, made sure nothing was catching...

I installed coolbit and was checking it out and wanted to make sure I wouldn't blow anything up. I just ran the Detect Optimal Freq and it gave me 527 core and 751 mem. Is this ok to run at? Stock is 500/690. I am happy with what I have so I am not trying to oc a lot and wasn't going to replace...

Just had time to put all my parts together. e6300 with a gigabyte ds3 mobo. Stock intel HS, 4 case fans and 2psu fans are my cooling setup. The NB gets really hot but I am not sure if I want to glue a fan on for warranty purposes. Can I just take a 80mm fan and wrap tape to create a funnel of...

http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-023107.htm go look at the bottom left image on the page there. I only apply paste on the middle rectangle as it seems to say or do I put a thin layer over all the raised pieces that aren't copper coloured? thanks.

Trying out the google sketch program and figured I would ask if this fan layout looks good? Would you change any fan directions around?

My old parts died on me and I was buying a bunch of new stuff like mobo, cpu, video card, ram, psu, dvd-rw. I will most definitely buy the ram and psu and dvd-rw online as they are significantly cheaper. For the proc, mobo and video card though the local microcenter have them in stock for the...

I have been using a DFI ak75-ec mobo paired with a AMD Athlon Tbird 1Ghz processor in it, 3 sticks of 256 ram, 160GB IDE HD, IDE DVR-RW drive, ATI radeon 9200 graphics card. For reasons unknown the motherboard died on me and I am reduced to using a friends motherboard for now. I need to get...

I need some help getting my computer to turn back on. I took everything out of my computer yestereday to work on cleaning up the wires/cables on the inside and now when I put everything back in it does not want to turn on. I hit the power button and the fans etc spin up and I hear the HD but...

Title should have read Buffalo WHR 54G vs Linksys WRT 54GL. (if a mod is reading can you make the change please) Both are the versions of the routers that I can install ddwrt if needed as they have the proper amount of memory for a flash. Price is the same with the linksys wrt54gl being 63 at...

... they changed it to a USB adapter. Still available but is not a PCI card, instead is a USB adapter. Apparently it was mislabeled. This is at MicroCenter.
