I am selling an HP dv6 quad core laptop. It's in perfect condition. It has a dedicated graphics card so it can be used for gaming or media development. It comes with the laptop, charger, and neoprene sleeve that it has been protected in since I bought it. The laptop has no scratches or other...
Because the 580 is a bit older I've been completely unable to find ANY comparisons between these. My current setup is this:
2600k @ 4.5GHz
16GB DDR3 1600
2x 1.5GB GTX580 SLI
Win 7 64bit
24" 1920x1200 LCD (single)
I am wondering if I would see a performance increase (or roughly the same...
1x EVGA GTX 580 (standard ref design, no OC)
1x MSI Twin Frozr II 580 (MSI's custom fan design, factory OC)
Both are 1.5GB models. Both are in perfect condition and are actually being used in my system right now. I'll also include the SLI cable. I am now parting these out.

I just got a pair of D. D. Cook speakers for cheap. The woofers are in need of foam repair but otherwise they seem to be in near perfect condition. I can't find ANY valid information on them on the internet. I have no model number just the name that is on the grill and the back of the speaker...

So i have AoE 1 running fine except there's no sound in-game. The intro movies have sound but the game itself does not. I have a WinXP virtual from a previous attempt at getting an old game running (it failed, but that's another story for another thread) so i tried it in there. The sound works...
They were all the rage a decade ago and I remember a few people here had some serious setups that were 7ft+ tall. What happened to them all? Are they not capable of cooling our quad core cpu's?

Full disclosure, i also posted this in the AMD video card forums, but i wanted to post it here too because i know that some people only stick to one or two forums and never visit the others. Mods, if this is wrong, please take care of it, but i hope you'll let this slide this one time so that as...

I am in dire need of help. The company I work for has agreed to modify someone's website and they use the CMS known as PHPFox. If you are familiar with this, it has a music tab on the top menu. I need to remove that "module" from the menu and make it appear as something on the main index. I...

I love games like Sim City and Roller Coaster Tycoon. The problem is that so many of these kinds of game are complete and utter garbage. I am looking for a modern game that takes hints from sim city and transport tycoon without being overly complex. I want to be able to manage trade routes and...

It's getting to the point where a few of the games I play, I can't play at absolute max settings without going below 30fps. The problem is, I don't know if i should wait or get another 580 and do SLI. There are some things to consider and i'll outline those below.
1. My motherboard does NOT...
So i drop below 30fps twice in ten minutes of gameplay (the length of the benchmark i took). The FPS weirdness about 25% of the way in was a loading screen. This is in Multiplayer on a 64 player server with all slots filled.

Running my system at full tilt with prime 95 my cpu temps steadily climb until they hit 85C and i simply turn off Prime 95... i really don't think the temps should be that high. What's going on here? For the record, it never errored or anything in Prime 95 but it only took maybe 2 minutes to hit...

I have an HX620 that is 2.5 years old now. I just bought a shiny new GTX580 to replace my quickly aging GTX280. I was hoping i could use my 280 as a PhysX card but im worried about power draw on my PSU.

I have 12 DVD's with many (sometimes as many as 20) seperate movies on them. I am looking for a program that will combine these into one movie for me without having to go into a video editor and splice them together. The DVD itself even has an option to "Play All" and you can watch all 20 movies...
I have an Asus P5K Pro motherboard. It uses a P35 chipset. It says it supports crossfire however, looking deeper reveals that while it does support xfire, the second PCI-E slot only runs at 4x. 4x is roughly 1GB/sec transfer rate while a 16x slot is 4GB/sec. (note, all these are PCI-E 1.x...

I have probably 30 audio CD's i need to burn for my Aunt. They are all categorized into folders for artist and album. I was hoping there is something out there that would read each album seperately and just allow me to swap CD's as needed for each new album. I hate having to navigate around and...

Rummaging around under my bed i found my grandfather's (i live with him since he's 81) ancient 78rpm singles. After tossing out half of them due to physical damage i bought a turntable and digitized them all. Today i bought my first modern LP. Chinese Democracy from Guns 'n Roses. Regardless of...
Last year i bought an EVGA GTX280 for the full price for $650. A few weeks later the price dropped so much that EVGA (and a couple other "good" companies like BFG) offered cash back or "EVGA Bucks". The deal was either $125 cash back or $150 EVGA Bucks. I took the EVGA Bucks since i was getting...
