    ATI HD6800 - dual monitors and HDMI out to TV

    So I went ahead and purchased a displayport-DVI cable and am still having the same problem. Currently, I have one DP->DVI, one DVI and one HDMI plugged into the card, but it will only permit me to use two at a time. Are there some special drivers I need?

    ATI HD6800 - dual monitors and HDMI out to TV

    Thanks for the response Fly. You are correct - upon closer examination the other port is not HDMI. Forgive my ignorance, but can you explain why the card will allow 3 devices if I use this other mystery port but not if I use the HDMI-out? I just bought a 25' HDMI cable and also don't want...

    ATI HD6800 - dual monitors and HDMI out to TV

    Hello, I currently have dual monitors hooked up to a single ATI HD6800 card using DVI. I have the TV in the same room as my computer and I wanted to duplicate one of the desktops on the HDMI-out in order to stream video directly. When I connect the HDMI-out and try to do this, the ATI...

    Preinstalled Steel Motherboard Standoffs

    I'm putting my new rig together tonight, and I noticed that my Antec P183 case has pre-installed steel standoffs. They align fine with my board, but will they cause damage to my rig? Is it better to screw in brass risers on top of the steel ones, or am I good to go as is?

    Wrist Strain

    I keep one of these sitting on my desk. When my wrist starts to hurt, or I'm doing tedious clicking (AutoCAD, etc), I pull it out. Does the trick for me. Used to play CODWAW quite a bit with it too, when I had the time. Don't remember it holding me back much... could vary depending on how...

    feedback a new build

    Check out .n.c.i.x. They have a 5.99 shipping sale on right now, and you can pricematch ANY canadian online retailer. Newegg.ca is great, but they often ship directly from their California warehouse, and thus have a high shipping cost. I typically use pricebat to check for the cheapest deal.

    Possible to restrict application to single connection?

    Upgrading AGP card?

    Do you already have quality DDR2, optical drives, a good case, and a good PSU? If so you can build a good C2D rig for under a grand. Lots of sales on 6300 & 6400's lately and they're both solid o/c'ers. So say: 200 CPU 150 mobo 40 cpu cooler 500 GPU (8800 GTS)...

    would the 7800gs agp play the new games alright?

    Unless you can afford to move to a PCI-E rig, the 7800 seems like a good upgrade. The 7900/7950 have an agp version?

    Mice question, Logitech's: MX1000 vs G7

    Love my g7. The fast dpi switch is a godsend for going from assult to sniping in FPS games. Its easy to program it for use with different games as well. I dont have any experience with the MX1000 - but the G7/G5 series were built specifically for gaming, and logitech has definetely...

    A few problems with my computer

    A few questions: Are you using a PS2 mouse connection or USB? Are you using a USB/PS2 converter? Are you using drivers for your mouse? If not, get the latest. It sounds like an issue with the connections on your mobo/mouse. Do you have some other keyboards/mice you could test?

    Thoughts on my New Build

    Looks great to me. I suppose if your budget allows it, you could justify the 8800GTS as it should last a long while and is DX10 compliant. But if you're looking to save a buck and don't game much, you can drop it down to a 7900 or 7950. For PSU recomendations, check out the stickies in the...
