So I'm about to install 2 Intel x25-m 80GB SSD's and thought about upgrading some other aspects of my system (See sig). I've heard some users are finding Q6600's are becoming bottlenecks when compared to the rest of their systems. So i gotta figure that my QX6850, awesome as it is, is on it's...

Hey [H] So I'm going to reformat my PC and install win7 onto a x25 g2. (Haven't decided on whether I should raid0 or not) Anyway my scenario is this. Right now I've got [2] WD 640's in Raid 0. This array has 3 partitions. {D} - [400GB Parition - 239GB Used] {E} - [500GB Partiion - 495GB...

I got an Intel Core i7-860. I'm looking to trade it for an Intel X-25m -Generation 2 - 80GB SSD. The cpu is brand new and unused so I would expect the same from the SSD. Otherwise I'm looking to buy the SSD, let me know if you don't find selling.

Hello [H] I'm trying to find some info about my onboard video card. Anyone have a good program or method of quickly determinning a Video Card's capabilities. Specifically an onboard GPU. I tried GPU-z but to no avail. Certain documentation tell me that my chipset will only support Open GL 1.4...

Sup [H]. I came across a particularly weird situation today with Outlook 07 Basically there are 2 users who recieve their Voicemail Phone Messages directly to their Inbox as .wav files. Upon downloading these messages to listen, Outlook stores them all in a TEMP folder. The problem is...

Hey [H] I just finished setting up, what I thought was, a simple network setup. Basically I have 2 computers. One main computer and one media computer. The main computer is connected to a router thorough one Ethernet port, and then connected to the media computer through another Ethernet...

A friend of mine emailed this to me, and at first I thought this was an early screening for the PS4, but on closer inspection this could so much more. The potential for a device like this is unimaginable

Hey Fellas, I'm in a bit of a pickle and need some assistance. So I got my new build up and running and wanted to make my old computer a general server. A server for basically only this other (new) computer to access. All my media and documents are stored on the old server computer and I...

So I currently have a 8800gt. Just got a brand new rig (see sig.)... and a couple of forums I've read say that there is a benefit, when going from a 8800gt to a 9800gtx+. I only game @ max of 1920x1080. Too be honest I know I should probably get a GTX 260. I'm well out of step-up range for...

Does anybody know the best way to COMPLETELY clean a Large Tower-type HSF. I've got a Scythe Ninja Rev.B, and I've already used the vacum cleaner + compressed air technique. Unfortunately there is still some dusty residue on the fins. My google-fu yielded some decent results. It seems that...

Hey guys. I just spent about 3 hours shifting power supplies from computers I had lying around to free up an Antec TruePower 550Watt PSU. I am hoping to use it in my next rig, as cash is problem at the moment. -QX6850 [w/ Scythe Ninja REV.B + 120mm fan on the bottom] [getting it for $250...

Sup [H]. I have kind of weird question. Today at work a customer gave me an Antec Smart Power 450W Power Supply saying that it was dead. Thinking this was kind of strange as there seemed to be no fault, or smell, I asked if I could have it and he said no problem. I took it home and...

I know variations of this question have been asked hundreds of times, but I still seem to be getting different opinions. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1283369 The general consensus seems to be that the 8800gts is better for its low noise, better stock cooling, overclock...

Okay long story short... I recently installed a Scythe Ninja Rev. B on my s939 x2 3800. Basically I was thinking of upgrading my rig, but decided to hold off a bit longer because the whole system is running fine, and I'm short of cash. I was going to use the Ninja on my Quad setup, but...

Hey had this board lying around since last years Retail Edge, and was wondering if the OCZ Platinum DDR2-800 would be compatible. Specifically http://www.anitec.ca/sale/oxodv4vdv4/8037/ I do plan on using this with my Q6700 as well. Any thoughts on that... It's ddr2-800 which is...

Hi. I trolled around the AVS forum and google etc for answers to this question. But it seemed not many people had this televison hooked up to their computer with an ATI Card. I currently have an ati x1800xt, and am trying to connect the Westinghouse TX 42 to it. Unfortunately I cannot get...

First post in a while so please bear with me. My basic problem is I'm not sure where my HD space has gone. Not the n00b type question, yes I understand that hard drives are never the same amount that they are quoted at. (eg. 320gb HD really only has 298GB after partition, format, whatever)...

Westinghouse 37inch W1 This is a posting for a Canadian price. I know [H]ard had an extensive forum discussing the 37inch, just was not sure if it was this one or not. I'm wondering whether I should get this or not... I believe I can use a coupon and some digital dollars to get the price...

Hi, normally i'd try google but couldnt find much about this card specifically I'm thinking of switching over to PCI-E from AGP and was wondering if this card is still decent, it only has 256RAM as opposed to 512MB which seems standard on most x1800xt's. More specifically how would it stack...
