    Tablets: Speech-to-text (dictation) experience?

    I'm wanting a cheap tablet that I can use to take notes while walking. My recent experience with an iPad Mini was that it was "good enough" for accuracy, but the processor lagged if I spoke too much, too quickly. Has anyone experience with other models in that ~$250 price range? And how do...

    Super Street Fighter IV online play question

    It doesn't seem to matter what monitor I use, I cannot get 85Hz with 1400x1050 resolution on my X1900XTX. I even tried ReForce, though perhaps I am doing something wrong. I entered in 85Hz, applied, it says it will take effect on my next restart and it doesn't. Is this a limitation of...

    E6300 @ 3.115 idling at ~45C with case door off. I get 54C just from closing the case. One 80mm in the front, two in the rear. It seems one of the rear fans is malfunctioning, but that doesn't account for the high temps. My case, (XKroma) apparently has horrible airflow. I pointed a...

    7900GT overclock on stock cooling

    I just bought the BFG 7900GT OC from Best Buy for $212 out the door, with the 30% off coupon. I am wondering how high I can safely overclock this card with the stock cooler in place. I don't want to purchase a more expensive cooler.
