Hi All, I have a Sapphire HD 5850, with 2x DVI, 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort. I have 2 DVI monitors, and recently got a 7.1 Onkyo receiver. I had hooked up the receiver to the computers' onboard optical audio port, but then realized that the best I'd get is 5.1, not 7.1. I will have to use the...

Some background: Win7 Pro, i7 930 machine, wired connection For several months the machine and the network performance were fine. If downloading a well-seeded torrent, or file from usenet, I could max out my internet connection (1.5 MBps). For the past several weeks my download speed has not...

I have been getting 800B0100 errors for KB981852 for a few months. I just ran the SUR tool and my log is below: ================================= Checking System Update Readiness. Binary Version 6.1.7600.20751 Package Version 9.0 2010-09-27 16:23 Checking Windows Servicing Packages Checking...

I just did a clean format of my computer, and installed the basic drivers (nforce mobo drivers, latest version, and nvidia graphics drivers, latest version). Upon startup, a few of my system tray icons load (nvidia control panel, for example), followed by a 30-second delay, after which...

I am creating a thermal model of an Intel processor, and have a few details I was hoping to get filled in. First, I'm creating a model of one of these guys: It is a P4 Northwood. I've got some questions regarding dimensions and materials used in the construction of these processors...

I recently purchased the following system: Shuttle SG31G2 E6750 4GB DDR2 800 250GB Seagate 7200.10 XFX 8600GT 265MB The 8600GT is unbelievably loud, especially when I think about using this as a HTPC. I was considering replacing this card with an EVGA 8600GTS 256MB. Any idea if this...

I just purchased my first shuttle from Newegg: SG31G2, E6750, 4GB (2x2GB) G.SKILL, 250GB 7200.10, XFX 8600GT The SG31G2 doesn't come with any sort of optical audio standard, but it does have the header on the motherboard for it. Apparently you need Shuttle part# PC17. However, I can't seem...

I have been trying to follow this guide to get my local emails uploaded onto Gmail: http://www.zoliblog.com/2007/10/24/simplified-guide-to-importing-all-your-archive-email-into-gmail/ Unfortunately it seems that this guide is for Outlook users, and I use thunderbird. Does anybody know of...

So I awoke to find my XP Home laptop complaining that it couldn't start because ntoskrnl.exe was corrupt, yay. I replaced that file via the recovery console, and tried again...this time, ntfs.sys is corrupt, so I replace that. I restart again, it gets to the loading screen, but I get a BSOD...

Hi everyone, I'm curious as to how much bandwidth these protocols use if the remote desktop/vnc window is minimized? Is bandwidth use cut down to zero if the window is minimized? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm in a situation where I need to grant limited access to a user on my linux machine. Ideally, I'd like this person to ONLY be able to SSH into the machine, browse ONE directory (e.g. /home/myusername/mystuff/, and all the subfolders w/in this directory), and be able to view and...

Hi everyone, I have a laptop on a home network that is connected to the network and the internet through a wireless adapter. I also have a desktop, but for some reason it cannot connect through to the same network wirelessly. I would like to share the laptop's internet connection with the...

Does anyone have a link to one of the Supreme Commander AI mods? I remember one being posted here a while back, it basically was an insanely hard AI to play. There was a list of changes to the AI in this mod that was a mile long. Sadly, I don't remember the name of the AI mod, and my...

I went to the Cape Cod Air Show this weekend and snapped some pics along the way. The weather didn't cooperate for a big chunk of the show, and the main act, the Thunderbirds, didn't get to do their entire performance because of a thick layer of haze, but other than that the show was fun. Here...

Is there a version of memtest, or another program altogether, that can be used to test video card memory?

Hi all, I'm having some issues with what I think is my video card. Whenever I'm playing some demanding game (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. beta, for example), i'll notice some wierd artifacting...the best way I can describe them is infinitely long horizontal and vertical bars that appear every once in a...

Hi all, I have purchased a domain, and have a linux box available to me. I am running Fedora Core 6 on the box, and will be putting some sort of wiki software on it once I get everything up and running. I've got a few questions regarding DNS and nameservers. I'm not entirely sure how to...

Hi all, I'm looking at several types of headphones for a possible gift, but I'm not sure which require the use of an amp. I'm looking at the HD485s, HD555s, HD595s. Do any of these require you to use an amp? I'm aware that the use of an amp may give you better sound, but do any of these...

Hi all, I have a X1900XT, and when I am not running a 3d app, I see that my speeds are 500/600, as I'd expect. However, when I run a game like DOD:S, I am not sure if the card is upping the speeds to the full 3d speeds that it is supposed to. What I've been doing is running DOD:S on one...

Howdy all, I have a dual monitor setup, and I am looking for a particular screensaver for it. I have a folder with dual monitor images that I'd like to randomly be shown as the screensaver. You'd think the regulard Windows Picture Slideshow screensaver would be enough, but unfortunately it...

Hi all, I have my own LAMP server, running FC5, up-to-date versions of apache, mysql, php, perl. I have a problem when it comes to cgi files. My server will just display them as text instead of executing them. I am pretty sure there is a simple solution to this, does anyone have any ideas...

Hi all, Athlon X2 4600+ system, running a Scythe Mine cooler, all stock settings and speeds. While running 3dMark06, I get a max CPU temp of 52-54C. However, it is quite warm outside curently, 82F, and my windows are open so I am assuming it is 82F inside my room if not slightly higher...

Hi all, Just put together a X2 4600+, A8N-E, 4x512MB Corsair Value RAM PC3200 system. I was under the impression that due to the 4x512, I might not be able to run at PC3200 speeds, perhaps PC2700. However, currently by BIOS reports that I am running at DDR200 speeds. Everything is set to...

Hi all, I will be purchasing a heatsink soon, and am wondering which is a better buy, the Scythe Mine or the Scythe Ninja? This heatsink will be used for an Athlon X2 4600+, in a gaming machine. It seems the Ninja can get chips slightly cooler, but the Mine is a lot easier to install...is...

Hi all, Looking to build a PC for $600 for a friend. This doesn't need to be a gaming machine at all, just a simple web-browsing, mp3-playing, dvd-watching machine. Everything will be needed, basically, aside from keyboard, mouse, and speakers. I was looking at getting the Acer 19"...

Hi all, I got my s939 X2 4600+, and I am a bit confused as to how I can identify what core this chip is, what the stepping is, all that valuable information. Here's what I have: ADA4600DAA5BV CDBHE 0527UPMW

Hi all, I am purchasing the parts for a new machine as we speak, and may want to add a sound card to the list. It seems the standard nowadays is the X-Fi, but are there any alternatives? Are the sound cards from other manufacturers even worth looking into? If so, what are some high quality...

I am getting ready to upgrade my machine, and have come to a bit of a fork in the road. My current specs are in my sig. My original intent was to upgrade to a high end s939 dual core system. I've got 4x512 sticks of PC3200 that I could use, which would save me a ton on the final price...

Howdy all, I've got a friend who recently purchased a 2007WFP. Of course, he got an A00 and had to go through with the replacement. The replacement A02 arrives, and he ships the A00 back. All seems fine and dandy, right? Well, I just get a call from him that UPS dropped off another Dell...

Hi all, I am planning on getting an A8R-MVP motherboard, and have a quick question regarding memory compatibility. I will be running 4x512 sticks of Corsair Value Select PC3200 RAM. This motherboard has 4 memory slots, but will there be any issues getting all four sticks of RAM to work...

A quick question, do any of you 2007WFP owners experience input lag when playing games? I tried loading up HL2 Ep 2, and noticed the slighest delay between me moving the mouse and a response being shown on the screen. Or could it be due to the fact that I was getting a low framerate (25-30fps...

Hi all, I posted a thread recently asking for suggestions regarding a motherboard, but it seems as though I might be changing my specs, so I am looking for suggestions once again. I was planning on buying a 7900gt, and later down the road, going to SLI, but I am not sure if that is worth...

Hi all, I'm in the market for a SLI s939 motherboard, and had my eyes on the Asus A8N SLI Premium. I already have the DDR ram necessary, otherwise I'd go for an AM2 system. I was wondering if this would be a good motherboard to choose, or if another brand has something better to offer. I...
