Would it be worthwhile to upgrade from a 4340 to the 4790? Or should I wait and see if I can grab a 4790K? Is the K that much better than the regular 4790?

There's a MC right by my work and I saw the G3258 bundle they have going on. I was considering picking it up to replace my current cpu/mobo in my secondary desktop which is just running kubuntu with phpstorm 99% of the time. I figured that even though the cpu benches only slightly faster I would...

I have a small bit of C experience, and I'm familiar with OOP in Java, but I never took the time, or had the opportunity to really dig in to C++. So I'm looking for a good book that will provide me with a lot of information on the language itself instead of introducing me to programming using...

I'm trying to configure an OpenVPN system for the network we have at work (SOHO network) and was tossing around the idea of running a XenServer system with some virtualized instances of Cent to handle a couple of different purposes. I was thinking of running one with OpenVPN as a dedicated VPN...

I saw a few individual threads pop up when monoprice had just released their IPS panels. Now that there's been some time for the honeymoon phase to pass, are those of you that have them still happy with them? and is it worth the extra money to go up to the 30"?

Hey guys, I'm trying to squeeze a little more performance of my now relic of an age long gone cpu. I've been running super pi as a benchmark, I bumped my cpu to 3.2 and when I had the ram clocked at < 800 i was getting times of 26 seconds or so. I bumped the ram up to a little over 800 and it...

Starting out I have a gift of killing floor (thanks steam, you've given me a copy of a game that I, and almost every single one of my friends, already have) I'd like to trade for a different game or even some coal. Also everyone who's interested in this kind of thing feel free to offer up...

So i've bumped my Q6600 up to 3.16 and when i'm running coretemp and prime95 coretemp shows the multiplier switching from 8.5 to 9 and back repeatedly. does it drop the multiplier when the PSU isn't supplying enough voltage for that moment? or is it dropping for another reason? also: I don't...

Micro Center has earned a lifetime customer. I purchased a copy of WoW:Cataclysm for a friend because Micro Center had it cheaper than anywhere else. Unfortunately when I got back to the house there was no CD/CD-key in the box. It would have cost me more to drive back there to exchange it than...

i'm goin OG up in here, any of you play?

does a power supply constantly draw what it's rated at? or is it based on connected hardware? ex: 850 watt psu plugged in will it draw 850 watts regardless? or would it only draw what it needs up to the capacity?
