Aren't uATX and mATX the same? Anyway the current case I had is a micro-atx, and I'm just surprised at the limitations of the AM3+ options. All the higherend models are form factor atx only. I would definitely opt for the better model, a new case is minor nascence I guess.

I found these, but they all look outdated from the looks of the price? It looks like FX990 chips are recommended with the FX chips suggested, and no uATX has this chip?

I have 32gb of DDR3 1600 right now that shouldn't be an issue, but I just took a look at uATX boards, and there is almost nothing that even supports DDR3 1600. Am I looking in the wrong spot?

I was not really considering a graphics card anyway, the two I have now are meeting my needs. To clarify the budget I proposed is solely on CPU. I anticipate another $150-200 for the mobo.

I’m not really looking for a ready aim fire solution, but will entertain it if it helps. I’d prefer a road map, to understand what there is. I've been out of the scene for 5-6 years, so I’m looking to orient myself as well as experiment with the other side. For instance, I see A-series, FX...

My motherboard has kicked the bucked at the worst time possible. I was hoping to hold out, in this awkward transition to the long anticipated DDR4. Instead, I think I’ll capitalize and try to turn this bad timing into an opportunity. I have really only ever used Intel chips, and never even...

Thanks Uncle Dave! I just ordered all the parts from ebay...It's weird, if all works out, it is actually cheaper to upgrade to higher resolution, then just buy the straight replacement. You were right, a new LCD cable is needed, but $4 on ebay isn't too much of a hassle.

Apologies if this isn't the right spot, it was on the line between here and the mobile computing thread. My laptop screen is acting up, and freezes all the the time. I have to maneuver it around and press certain corners to get it to show again...it's getting worse and increasingly difficult...

My gaming days are long behind me, and I have not kept up with the changes since. I might be dating myself, but last time I was looking into GPU's Geforce4 was the latest and greatest, and Max Pain and Blood Rayne were to games to be playing.... Anyway, I've been looking into laptops and have...

I have the i5 + intel HD vid. card. But I have updated to the most recent bios available, and the interference is still there. And, I've already tried every driver I could find. I've even called dell support, and some broken English speaking, indian, dell representative told me to 'just deal...

I recently purchased a Dell Studio 1558 from dell. It seemed to meet all my needs at a reasonable price. Everything seemed fine, until I plugged in headphones. When I plug anything into the audio ports on the side, there is this annoying hiss/white noise that is always present. It's strange...

After some research, I have found that there are issues using this card with Windows 7 x64. The card will not allow for wireless 'N' (atleast for Win 7) and the signal is very inconsistent dropping every couple of minutes. Let this be a warning to anyone considering this card, with Win 7. I...

WPA2 with AES.

No, I'm using WPA2.

The building I'm in is being rewired. So all active ports were taken down. So, for the mean time, I have to rely on wifi. To make things somewhat bearable, wifi-N was installed throughout. I have 2 laptops connected fine getting data a rate of 240-250 Mbps. (ie. nothing wrong with the router)...

I'm setting up a test environment to test a new imaging software. I'm using Ubuntu with 2 nics, 1 nic for Internet, and the other to a switch. I have successfully setup the dhcp service, however cannot connect to the web on client PCs. I have not dealt with network setups for 12years or so...

Looking for a Dell Inspiron 1501 Motherboard, anyone have one? :)

I purchased this drive from MicroCenter.

Way louder then a 7200rpm drive. I have a 500AAKS, 1TBBlack, and and old 160,SE16 in the same case. The Velociraptor on seek and write dilutes all those drives out. This did not help. The drive still makes lots of noise. The drive passes the LifeGuard Diagnostic...however the computer...

I read all over the internet that the velociraptor was surprisingly quiet. I'm not sure what this quiet level is suppose to be...but I just purchased one, and the seek and write sounds like a jackhammer. Idle is barely audible, but the second the HDD light turns on, I feel like there's a...

Would this be the correct place to reserve the address? If so, what would I enter under Metric?

My computer and NAS are connected to my router. Both have two dozen ports opened to them for apps, games, etc. Every time I unplug my laptop, and return, the local IP changes and I have to go back and reset all those ports to the new address. This same thing happens to my NAS when it restarts...

Ok, after another couple of hours of tinkering...this is what I've found: Using the 'Web Manager' over LAN -Or- WAN, I am only able to upload about 1gb (Limit). I'm not sure exactly what the peak value is...but using crude trial and error anything under 950mb worked, and anything or 1.2gb...

I forgot to mention, this is behind a router. And, not it is not on the same network, that's why I tried to create a VPN to it. The drive is formatted to fat32. The actual drive is a WD Sata-250gb RE2. I've just spent he last 2hours messing around with all the setting I could, there is no...

I have a QNAP TS-101 and have used it primarily for a local network drive. I recently lost important data despite backups (Water Damage to PC and Backup..). I learned my lesson and have placed this unit elsewhere. I'm using the Web-Interface to upload backups. My issue is that I can only...

Got another power supply (wasn't as good), but nonetheless the symptoms remained... I'm using a Enermax FMAII and an intel P4. I did try to up the voltage, but only a small amount, for what ever reason this board has always run high for me. I think you might be right about one of the...

History Up to Freezes: Around the beginning of last month, the computer started to boot to a blank screen. I was able to get around this by rebooting to the "Last Known Configuration" every other time and succeed in the boot. Then around the middle of the month the computer froze. Following...

I'd go with the IBM, there support is much better then dell. Although both notebooks are so close I don't think you'll be able to tell the difference. I'd say it comes to down to which ever you fell is most visually pleasing. Then again, the IBM also has ddr3, which will help out alot as the...

I've had my Asus F3sv for 2 years now, and it has starting to show its age. The laptop is great, but the overall physical design of the notebook never was that good to begin with. I clean the notebook every other day or so (mild germaphobe) and the paint around the palm-rest has still faded...

My mind wandered from work..one thing led to another and I ended up here...amazing...:D Here's my updated Clean Desktop: (Ignore the two pictures under recycling bin, there not usually there) -Im also looking for a good addon to monitor system resource that doesn't take up alot of resource...

I tried that. Problem is that vista did not come on a disk with that computer. It is a partition, probably to save IBM money on distributing disks. I tried my copy of vista Business, but got angry and didn't work. Maybe because the laptop has Home Premium(I think) and that's a Business Disk? Any...

My IBM ideapad woke up with "missing/corrupt bootmgr". Not good i know, but anyways i was just gonna back up my data and give it a fresh install and everything would be better...right...No that would be too much to ask from MS. My normal means of data backup in this situation would be to just...

Wait a min....this picture looks strikingly familiar for some reason! :eek: ..I wonder why ;) Looks nice....the color correction defiantly makes it look better. I didn't realize how dark my monitor was...had the brightness way down. I thought I was going crazy when you made the change...

How long is that? Might be worth it to jump up to a Quad core. This will expand the like of the PC dramaticlly, dual cores are already going out of fashion. Somthing like: Q6600 (OC) -Or- Q9300 (higher fsb)

I wouldn't hesitate on the monitor, bigger is definatly an improvement. I had the same thoughts too when purchasing my monitor, but believe me. It is definatly worth it. You should be able to game fine with that monitor, but performance wise you will get better results with two gpu's. The reason...

You will get better perfomance going with 2x4850 in crossfire. At higher resoluiton, two cards are better then one, whether in crossfire or sli. I don't know your budget, but the cheapest way to achieve this is two Radeon HD4850's in crossfire. Or if you got the cash two nvidia cards in sli will...

I have very limited Photoshop skills, but I was able to resize this to your resolution: Can be found here: ack.us/img411/1920x12004870kp6.jpg/1/w1920.png[/IMG][/URL]

Name's in games have definatly gotten more and more strict. Most likely due to ppl abusing the system. I remember in my youth in WoW, I used 'titkcil' as an alt. Used it for 3 or so years until one day I got message from a GM to change it.....welcome to an age of being politicaly correct means...

These headphones scored 7.5/10 @ 2404.org in this review. But then again, they are only $20 headphones...but I guess it might be a good deal if you need new headphones.
