    FS: Google Nexus Q Social Media Streamer - $350 shipped

    I have a brand new, never opened Google Nexus Q social media streamer that I got from Google I/O. I really like the concept of sharing music seamlessly but I'm not currently an Android user so I literally can't use it myself. But I thought one of you fine people might want it instead. If you...

    Need help troubleshooting new build

    If I run memtest or Intel burn test will all my memory, I get errors. But each stick is clean when I run memtest individually. What could be the problem then? Motherboard? I've already increased the memory voltage to 1.55V and the memory controller to 1.15V to rule out power stability...

    New SB-E Won't Boot with Full Memory

    Can't figure out the issue. If I populate 6 DIMMs (24GB), then the system will boot. But I add the last two and the system does't post. When this happens, the motherboard shows a "b7" error. I tried increasing the system agent (memory controller) voltage to 1.1V, reducing memory settings to...

    Help me diagnose a problem

    I have a 2011 MBP with the 2.0GHz Quadcore and AMD 6490M. When I watch Netflix fullscreen connected to an external monitor (2560x1440), playback is pretty choppy. Things improve if I exit fullscreen or I reduce the screen resolution to 1280x720. My first guess would be that I'm GPU limited, but...

    Desktop Cable Management for Laptop

    How do you all manage all the cables when you "dock" your laptop to an external monitor, mouse/keyboard, external HDD, etc. I've found several options but they seem subpar for one reason or another. Ideally, I'd like something that rigidly attaches to my desk and can hold 4-5 cables. Suggestions?

    Which is faster?

    Purely in terms of CPU power. 2006 Macbook with 2.16 GHz Core2 Duo or 2009 Macbook Air with 1.86 GHz Core2 Duo? If its the Macbook, it is only because of the slight frequency advantage? Or are there architecture differences?

    I am selling a brand new, still in-box HP LP2480zx Dreamcolor 24" monitor. This is about as close to a perfect professional monitor as you can get. It was co-developed by HP and Dreamworks (animation studio that made Shrek) for amazing color accuracy. The monitor has the following features...

    Quick Disk Partition Question

    I have a 1TB disk that is 70% full. Is it possible to make a new partition on that disk that only takes up the free space? I obviously want to do it in a way that would insure the safety of the data already on the disk. I'm using Windows 7 x64 Pro, if that matters.

    Does router hardware improve at a rate similar to CPUs?

    How often does router hardware get refreshed? I found a sweet deal on a gigabit wireless-N router, and I can't decide if I should jump on it. I don't really need the upgrade now, so if in a year, I can get something that will be cheaper/better, I don't mind waiting for features like gigabit...

    Handbrake settings help

    I'm using Handbrake 0.9.4 to encode some of my DVDs into a more compact digital format. I started with the "high profile" preset in a MP4 format, but the quality of the resulting video was pretty bad. I could easily spot pixelation and other obvious signs of compression. I want to try again and...

    1.8" HDD enclosure help

    I want to buy an enclosure for a 1.8" mechanical drive with a micro-SATA connector, but can't seem to find anything. Preferably, I'd like the enclosure to be small (not a 2.5" unit that "works" with 1.8"), sturdy (aluminum maybe) and decent looking, if possible. Anyone know where I can find...

    Why are mobile GPUs so popular?

    This might be a little taboo here.... but if you don't game/CAD on your laptop, why would you want one with a discrete GPU? IGPs are fast enough for video acceleration, UI acceleration and are far more power efficient. Am I missing something?

    GPGPU on Intel IGPs?

    In terms of the two brand-agnostic GPGPU standards (OpenCL and DirectCompute), is it reasonable to expect that Intel IGPs will be supported once GPU-accelerated programs start to take off? While they are clearly technically inferior to AMD/Nvidia offerings, Intel's graphics are by far the most...

    Preconfigured Stripped-Down XP?

    My brother has an Asus EEE PC 901 with the super slow 4+16GB built-in SSDs. It came with Linux originally but he wants to switch it to a Windows OS. I wanted to give him 7 but I think it would consume far too much space and would operate poorly on such a slow drive (they are basically integrated...

    No Autorun in Windows 7?

    On Vista, I used this program called Allway Sync 'n' Go to copy my files over to my flash drive. I would plug it on and use the Autorun option that popped up to execute it. However, it seems that Autorun is now dead in Windows 7. Is there another way to get the program to start when I plug in my...

    What are Win7 people doing for drivers?

    Are most of you using default Windows drivers for now, until official ones are released? Do they seem to work pretty well? Any problems with laptops? I'm debating whether I should make the jump now or wait until official support begins sometime after Oct 22.

    Switching to New Exchange Account

    I currently have an Exchange account through one provider but I'm thinking I'd like to switch to another service. Is it possible for me to transfer over everything in my account to the new one? Can I move over email, as well as contacts and calendar? Or is only the latter possible? Thanks.

    SSD Data Reliability

    I know SSDs are notable for their mechanical reliability if a laptop is dropped or impacted. But how are they in terms of operating reliability? Are they less prone to "spontaneous" failure than HDDs? Would you say an SSD would be a fair replacement for two drives in RAID 1 in a laptop?

    BIOS flash failure

    This Acer Aspire M5100 desktop was having freezing issues, so I decided to update the BIOS to see if that would fix things. The flash was going well, until the very end where the status bar showed red, indicating failure to write at those sections. The computer rebooted and failed to post. Fans...
