I bought a new laptop for home, an ASUS G551JW with an I7-4720HQ, 8GB RAM, and upgraded it to a Mushkin 240GB SSD drive with a clean install of Windows 10. After doing so the performance is great but oddly when in day to day applications it is not as fast as my work laptop. Opening and...

Sorry, it was $24.99 with free shipping at Newegg. Must have been a one day sale or something because it is back to $48.99 now.

I picked up one of the recommended Buffalo routers for $28 on sale with free shipping so I should be in business. Thanks all!

Good to know, guess I will pick up the TP Link then.

So I was looking at the TP-LINK TL-WR841N or the Asus WL-520GU. Thoughts?

I'm not a huge bandwidth user so that isn't so much of the concern. I like DD-WRT because it is so stable and allows me to dial the wireless strength to the right level (down) to keep people off my wireless. It also allows for multiple wireless networks. The TP-Link are cheap, I just worry...

Looking for a cheap router (new) that can run DD-WRT. Any good recommendations?

I would use Chrome but I use the Yahoo toolbar in Firefox, like the bookmarks feature. Although Google has bookmarks in their toolbar as well, the arrogant people there don't listen to users that want folders instead of just tags.

I had called the local store and they didn't have the bracket so I went down to see if they had a fan that would work. Funny, no fans for AM2 but stock ones, but low and behold there are the brackets hanging there. I never trust those pimple heads on the phone. Thanks for the help, up...

I'm curious, what would be a decent fan that doesn't use the bracket? I ask because I may be able to pick one up locally and save time for about the same cost. It can't be too huge in size though.

About $18.00 with shipping which I think is cheap enough. Thanks for your help.

That is my motherboard. It is the little black nub that the clip attaches to that broke so you are right, no glue would hold for long. I think I found what I need but not 100% certain yet. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6553/bra-18/CPU_Fan_Retainer_Bracket_w_Backplate_-_AMD_AM2.html

I am sitting playing a game and I hear a noise inside my computer, like something fell. Five seconds later it shuts down. Open it up and the CPU heat sink and fan are lying loose. Turns out one of the lugs on the black plastic socket that the heatsink and fan clamp on to broke off. Has...

So I should actually see a bit of a boost in overall performance based on the almost equal GPU and faster CPU then. Makes it appealing. Wish they made a gaming all-in-one with upgradable GPU.

Thanks for your opinion, but I'm looking for someone with knowledge or experience related to the performance as it compares to what I have now.

My current gaming system runs well, but isn't the newest. However I am still gaming on a 19" monitor and would like something a little bigger and some more features. My wife really wants an all in one PC and unfortunately they don't do gaming well. I'm not a serious hard core gamer, only time...

I realize that and again appreciate the understanding. The paranoia is due to me hoping an idea I think may be a good one will get taken. I do still think that any offering I make if done right and put out at the right price point of rediculously cheap will do OK though.

The application will be sold by me as software aimed at organizations. It will consist of a server side to collect data which will most likely be a MySql database or KLog server. The client side is the part that is more what the conversation is about. It will run as a service on the PCs, as...

Good conversation going, I like it. I'll admit that learning some of the things being talked about it daunting to me. I'm not a developer so to speak at all. I'm an administrator that can write scripts and programs for small things but I do know a good deal about programming methodology...

Since learning syntax is fairly straightforward once you know how to code I think I am going to look at C#. The garbage collection mentioned is certainly something that interests me for a process that will run from startup to shutdown on a PC. I'll download the C# Express and start...

Has the .NET runtime been known to cause issues with applications that run as services?

This is not school related nor am I a student. I have the need to write an application for Windows that will run as a service. It will need to utilize networking so TCPIP support or network objects are needed. It also needs to be able to be compiled to an EXE and DLL files (if the later is...

Me please!

Correct, this is only for testing. Sort of a way to bring a test server, and clients, and support machines to a site for quick testing without actually bringing machines.

Yep, and there is the problem. I was hoping since it could see the USB from booting from it that it could use it. Oh well. I thought about the workstation idea as well but what I was really looking for was a completely independent environment that didn't rely on another OS to initially boot...

I have searcher and posted on VM-Help.com and thought I would try here as well. I have a 30GB USB hard drive and ESXi booting from it. There is of course about 27GB of wasted space on it that I wish ESXi could use for a datastore so I could take a few VMs with me. Has anyone got it working?

I just prefer ATI cards.

My brother in laws video card is dying and needs replacement. Currently he has a 1900GT in his system and for the light gaming he does it has worked fine. Because it is an older system it would not make sense to put a 4850 or the like in it. I was thinking the 4650 because the 1900GT seems...

Awesome, think I found my next build!

Hmmm, not sure I can find a PSU to handle a decent GPU though.

Oh that is nice!

Although an All-In-One PC would be wonderful they cannot have the upgraded graphics capability I would want. To be honest, the only thing I want is a case that I can put one hard drive, one DVD drive, and have the ability to upgrade the graphics card in. Right now I have an Antec micro ATX...

I bought them a few years ago when they went one sale and really like them. Receiver is a Yamaha I bought that has a separate amp for each front channel so I get a lot of power. After getting them I had some friends over and had some tunes on. Was just after the divorce so things were rowdy...

Tried that one and Jaksta and think Jaksta works better.

What do you mean five days? Did it fail or did you just change it? I want it to be as quiet as possible when I am not using it. Guess I will look into Cool N Quiet.

If I wanted to do that I would. Currently have enough NAS storage and streaming capability that I don't need to. That and I travel a lot and once on my PC I can convert them to run on hand held video or watch on laptop.

I went into the BIOS on my Asrock board and it does have something called "Quiet CPU'. I enabled it and set the temp to 50C but have not noticed a difference. Not really sure what it does. I don't have cool and quiet loaded, need to find the drivers for that. Problem is I heard you suffer like...

Yeah, looks like Boxee doesn't support it anymore. I did find Jaksta and tried it out, works really well. Has conversion built in to convert after the download to another video format. For $29.99 and a $5 coupon code I think I am going to pick it up.

I don't see anything that let's you download the videos to hard drive from Hulu.

I don't have a connection on my TV for getting video straight to the TV from the computer. I do have media streaming of videos on the computer. Is there a way to download Hulu video to the PC so I can stream it to the TV? And before everyone jumps out, Orbit Downloader doesn't work.
