    Can I use one receiver with a mouse and keyboard?

    Hi At work I use a wireless Logitech wave keyboard and MX510 mouse combo. They are both wireless and use one receiver. At home I have a Logitech wave keyboard but a wireless mouse. Does anyone know if I were to just buy another Logitech mouse, say the 510, would I just need 1 receiver?

    How can I get this company completely in the cloud?

    Do dedicated cards kill battery life?

    I'm trying to find a laptop that has good battery life, lightweight, with a decent gaming card in that order of importance. It seems that every laptop with a good battery comes with a crappy card, and every laptop with a good card has terrible battery life. Why do these features seem to be...

    X3 question

    I've seen the X3 series mentioned several times, and I think the idea of a trading combat space game seems really exciting. Hell, I even bought the pack sometime last year. Honestly though, I made it past the opening seen, saw my ship then became lost and never have played since. Part of the...

    SAS?

    I'm looking to make a little VMware testing station and was looking at hard drives. Because it's just a test machine, I'm not really looking into RAID. I should pretty much just get a SAS drive right? At some point I might transfer an image off it, and I shouldn't run into any problems dropping...

    Shogun Fall of the Samurai

    Anyone playing this? I loved Shogun and Rise of the Samurai (with and without mods), and I might as well say that I have in fact whored myself out to every Total War game. However, Empire really didn't do it for me (battles were boring, campaign had no tension). I'm worried this new game has a...

    overclock fine, then trouble at startup.

    Hi all I'm overclocking my i750 on a Gigabyte p55-ud3r to 4ghz, at 1.375 vcore (cpuz shows 1.32v). Prime temps after an hour are around 70c. My overclock seems fine, but when I start my computer after non usage it often restarts itself 3 times to get to windows and loses the overclock. During...

    Would I really notice a difference between different SSDs?

    I just ordered some new parts, and I'm thinking of adding a new SSD as well to make the transformation complete. I want to spend between $150-300 on one, so looking around this will get me about a 64GB drive. The size is fine, its going to hold my OS, swap file, word, and 2 or 3 games I'm...

    I just ordered an i750, will i regret not going bigger?

    As title states, I just ordered the guts of a new i750 system, replacing my aging e6600 system which has lasted me well. I ordered last night and it hasn't shipped yet, and I'm having anxiety. Do you think I'll miss not having hyperthreading? Would it make my computer noticeably faster for...

    I've got a new HD (WD Black 1TB) and case (Cooler Master Sniper) queued up on Newegg, and I'm toying with the idea of adding and i860 setup with it (decent combo deal: i860, Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R, and 4GB OCZ Obsidion 1600 for $481). I know there are some problems with the current 1136...

    Question about polygon performance

    I remember back in the day every graphics card and console were measured in their polygons/sec performance. Lately however I've never seen this figure. I remember the PS2 coming out with a maximum of something like 70m polygons, which was absurd. Anyone know what today's cards are pushing or why...

    Need a good co-op game

    Hi all, I just came across a girl/friend who enjoys videogames. We spent all day yesterday playing mario 3.
