Selling some stuff I have sitting around, and no longer need. Heatware under Peteman100.
Interested in trading for an AMD HD7950 or equivalent. Something that can play BF4 at 1920x1200 with high/ultra settings.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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?
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...
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.
Would like it be in very good condition with a current warranty. Would also consider a U2410 for the right price. Need to have it shipped to 94027 or be in the California bay area for pickup. Send me PMs with offers!
I have an old AMD AM2 3800+ 2.0GHz processor that I'm not going to use again. If anyone is willing to pay shipping for it, I'll give it to you for free. If you leave near Berkeley, CA and want to come get it, shipping will obviously be zero.
I'm looking for a wired 360 controller to be used on my PC. I'd like it to be in good working condition. Shipping to 94705. Send offers via PM. Thanks!
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...
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...
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...
What are your recommendations for a solid mATX board for a Lynnfield quad? Not going to be overclocking much but I am looking for good quality/features. $150 max preferably.
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?
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...
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...
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...
Can Outlook be configured to easily sync contacts and calendar from Gmail using free software/plugins? Or is Thunderbird the way to go to obtain this sort of functionality? Which software do you recommend? Thanks!
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.
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.
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?
I have a newb Exchange question. I used to use a push email program on my phone that would allow me to set a minimum time between syncs. It pushed email in real time, but it would only connect every 15 minutes at the most, even if I received more than one email in that time period. Is it...
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...
