Thanks. I have a 3770k. Tho it can 'handle' more, I'll just find the highest spec'd, reasonably priced ram that's labeled at 1.5v. I dont need to try to squeeze every ounce of performance that I can get outta it.

Hi guys, Wanting to upgrade ram. I have a Z77 extreme4 mobo. Which states it will support from 1066-2800 ram but anything above 1600 has an (OC) on it. Does this stand for needing to overclock something to get support? Would this need extra power/heat to board? Would this by any means...

Understood that gains, if any, would be minimal. However, I can have higher ram speed without adding extra voltage/heat, and given that the ram runs stable (1hr in memtest86) itself, would there be any reason not to?

Hi all, building new rig and had a few questions on configuring ram. I have the ASRock z77 Extreme4 which states it'd support the following: 4×240pin DDR3 2800+(OC)/2400(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 Was wondering if there be any benefits/harm to run my ram at a 'non supported'...

Mine wouldnt. They have a stipulation that they wont price match items with 'limited quanities' from other stores and since Microcenter states 1 per household, they consider it limited. http://www.frys.com/onlineads/0001507075 (my Fry's was City of Industry in CA)

would love an invite if any one has to give away.

Hey there, gonna start looking for parts for a new computer. Mainly photoshop. As title asks, what factors are important specifically for photoshop? Of course faster processor, more ram, faster HDD, better vid card, etc are important but they would be important for any build. As far as...

Thanks for trying to help me out guys. So far no luck. Just bit of clarification if needed (clarification is more for me than anyone else lol). My LAN speeds reported by windows wireless connection status fluctuates between 270mbs and 300mbs. My WAN speeds are the numbers reported above...

I'll check out home depot later. Thanks Problem with 2nd link is some of cables dont have have connector/heads. Rather not bother with putting connectors on just to check.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a device to try and sort out the rg59 coax cable mess at home. Lots of these cables no longer have heads on them. I'd like to be able to find out which goes where and if possible how 'good' the line is. Looking at amazon, not sure which would do the job. Would...

I've tried both the 2.4ghz on G and the 5ghz on N and with same results. I've tried with laptop right next to router as well as with it upstairs sitting next to my desktop. Results on laptop at both spots and results on desktop are same which makes me wonder if there is some kind of bottleneck...

Hi all, Just got cable and new hardware and been running bandwidth tests. I know wired is always going to be faster than wireless but was wondering if there were things I can do to see where the bottleneck is. I have cable internet with a sb6120 modem and the asus rt-n56u router. When I...

Hiya guys, Just upgraded my video card after 5 years and am confused about display port use. I have an MSI 6850 ( http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6850-PM2D1GD5-OC.html ) I currently have 2 monitors hooked up to the 2 dvi outputs. I am wanting to add my TV. When I plug it into the HDMI...

Is there a generalization in terms of noise and heat between these 2?

Changing out my 2 older HDD (150gb/320gb) for newer ones (640gb/1tb). Purchased the Blacx ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153066&Tpk=blacx ) to first transfer stuff from old drives to new ones, then to use it as an external drive for backups. Looking for some kind of...

Yah, you can adjust them separately but I want to 'calibrate' them (get them to display colors as close to how they should be). This is important for photography since what your monitor shows you might not be what the file would print as (check the spyder calibration tools for more info). For...

Hiya, need some help. Currently I am running just 1 HD 4850 with dual mons. I'm getting into photography would like to calibrate the monitors. I already have the Spyder2 Express. From what I understand in order to calibrate both monitors, I would need 2 video cards. K, so question is do I...

Hmm i starting to get into photography and would routinely have 100gb of data before i sort them. At the moment, I find myself copying them to both my laptop and desktop. I want them all in 1 place where I can work on them, sort them, then copy over to their final home. I dont need 320gb...

As stated in title, need a 2.5" HD for external storage. Any recommendations? ATM, looking at this one: WD Scorpio 320gb I want 2.5 so that I will not need external power supply. (SATA) I see that some are 7200rpm vs 5400. Big difference? Do enclosures matter? I see lots that have a...

Better act fast if you still want this. No longer available online so no more $25 off via paypal. Called them and they have it on backorder. Its only available at the store level for $249.99 now.

yes. these cards have a dvi to hdmi adapter. using the adapter you can carry sound via the hdmi cable to your tv/monitor. (if you had an nvida card and used an dvi to hdmi cable, you'd get video but no audio) Note: you have to use the dvi to hdmi adapter it comes with then use hdmi...

Well, is not 15 but can get 10 off with code VGA72810. Can also use live.com to get 2.7% cash back. (if you dont know, can go http://search.live.com/cashback/stores then click on Newegg so that it redirects you then search for the card on newegg and buy through there)

This seems to be true. When searching from the live.com site, you'll see 20% or 25% off from ebay. If you click on link when is at 25%, no discount will show on ebay page. However when you click on link when the live.com site shows 20% off, that 20% off will be reflected on top of ebay page...

Actually I just tried. Promo code doesnt work for me either. And i didnt bother with the combo.

Yah wish they werent .rmvb files either now lol. For some reason, the Hong Kong community seems to favor them. Anyhoo. Still no luck, downloaded real alternative 1.52 - is older one but as far as I can tell it does work on 64bit machines. made a .reg file by putting the following in a...

As you and CrimandEvil show mentioned VMC needed the 64 bit codecs to run. I managed to find them and have most media running fine now. However, I still cannot get .rmvb or .rm to run in VMC. When I navigate to the .rmvb file through VMC''s media library, I see the files, but when I try...

Cool, that took care of the .avi files. I still cannot get the .rmvb files to run. Looked around the net some, there are couple pages that seemed to have helped: First: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/80326.aspx This was the original. I tried those registry settings (of course I...

Hi guys, Just finished putting together and installing my first HTPC. Everything working fine as far as I can tell. I'm trying to get Windows Media Center working with Vista Home Premium 64 and I'm testing out some videos. I've added the folder where my video can be found (E:\Media)...

Thanks for the replies: Re: gpu Appeal of the 3870 over tuner card is that: - the main game i play (AoC) recommends min vid cards "NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 or better." I didnt think a tuner card would suffice. - I liked idea of having sound included in the DVI -> HDMI since I hate wires...

So ddr3 with more memory > ddr4 with less memory? Yah I'll do some gaming with it also hence the choice to get a better vid card and some cooling for the cpu. I do not have a receiver =( I know its not much of a home theater without good speakers but I'm getting there lol. Guess I'm...

Oh, also seems the HD3870 has ddr3 and ddr4 versions. which is more beneficial? ddr3 1gb or ddr4 512mb? I also have Artic Freezer 7 pro lying around that I can use if it fits. Otherwise need suggestion for a cooler.

Planning to put together an HTPC new to the game. Need some imput. I have an e6600 from upgrading my desktop so will use that for the cpu. I have the Samsung 5064 (720p) for my TV. For other parts I'm thinking: Case: Antec Veris Fusion - 170 @ the egg GPU: ATI 3870 - 155 AR at...

Oh yah and if you happen to know of a good place/price for them, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hiya, bought a used HP Pavillion dv8000. It currently has 2x512mb ram. Was wanting to upgrade to 2x1gb. I went to crucial and kingston to try to figure out what ram I can use. Both tell me I can use pc2700 but crucial says I can also use pc3200. Of course I'd opt for the fastest ram that...

Cant find in the San Gabriel Valley. Not in Pasadena, Montebello, or West Covina (went there). They werent even able to find the item with the model number. =(

What would you expect the min vid card needed to push 2 of these at 1920 x 1200? Think the 8800gts 512mb would do?

Yah had the same problem here, no luck. I think the problem is that the OP searched using the parameters of samsung, 22" widescreen lcd monitor. The search is showing that it is available since there is a different one (with 2ms response time). The product in question is not searchable...

Can you confirm if this screen detaches from the stand? Was reading another review which stated: he stand, which is not detachable and already attached to the unit, it pressed right up to the unit and there is very little room to maneuver the cables in, especially since the screen doesnt...
