I think I will have to break my spreadsheets down when I run into this issue again with 16GB on my lappy. The reason I use excel is because when I started this little project I had no idea I would just keep going with it untill it grew so large, I started off so small and excel was easy to...

Before I search out an excel forum I thought I'd ask here. I'm using Excel 2010 x64 and have run into an issue where if my total system ram usage goes above 50% Excel crashes. I had 8GB in my desktop, windows 7 with all it's doo dats generally runs with less than 2GB, with my spreadsheets...

Very smart, hopefully it becomes some sort of standard so that you don't get completely limited when it comes to which GPU you can stick in there.

Never mind. Getting the z570 cause it's cheap.

yeah I've seen those G models but cheaper is better, that's why I didn't jump on those macbooks or Lenovo mentioned earlier.. I found a forum called notebookreview and I see people with cheaper laptops popping in 16GB and they're working fine, now I'm just debating whether I should go with a...

You'd think manufacturers would be more clear about their machines specs and capabilities, most say max = 8GB.

realy? I've tried all the customizations on the Dell website and it won't give me a 16GB option.. and I can't find a way to check maximum memory specs on their super unfriendly website

Hi again everyone, I'm looking for a laptop that can do 16GB of ram, this is my #1 requirement, I don't play games at all but I have some rather large spreadsheets that forced me to upgrade my desktop already to 16GB and now I need to take my work on the road. At the PC shops and even...

Hi all, I'm following lots of guides and info from forums to do my first oc, the method I want to follow somewhat is what others call "dynamic overclock" where you use a lot of the power saving features, although I personally want to skip out on c3 and c6. So apparently one of the things...

Nevermind, found some myself finally, not exactly the most popular chips these lga1156 i7's. For anyone else that might be looking for the same thing: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/asus-p7p55d-deluxe.html...

Hey guys, I'm probably bad at the search function but I can't find an i7 OC guide for the lga1156 chips which I would really like instead of the other Quad guides because this is my very first time doing this. I know there are only minor differences but I am just learning the terms and the...

Ok, on I go then. Thank you

Hey guys, I've put together my first PC and just wanted some feedback whether I'm on the right track here. I've a Megahalems with a single low speed fan sitting on top of an i7-870 at stock settings, I'm in BIOS right now getting familiarized and in HW Monitor it reads 37C for the CPU. Is...

I'm trying to find some temp info for reference for the i7-870. Reason being I put my rig together today (almost) after work but I'm real tired and I'm not sure if I didn't mess on the TIM application and HS mount, I'm almost sure I lost contact for a second when centering but still screwed it...

Ugh, wasted my money on two 3pin y splitters then, I'm too cheap to go with a proper fan controller, not too fond of the idea of controlling fans with knobs like with the cheapie controllers on a machine that'll do a gazillion calculations a second.. seems kinda dumb. I've bought low RPM...

I've bought an ASUS P7P55D-E LX mobo and I'm contemplating whether to use it's headers for fans or not. I'm wondering how the mobo decides whether to ramp up or down the fan speeds, is it strictly by CPU temp? My case is supposedly not best for handling GPU temps so if my fans slow down...

Attn: CANUCKS Best place to buy monitors? I'm a little worried about picking up a lemon and being stuck with it. I see a large variance in price for this NEC anywhere from $270Cdn to $350Cdn in online stores but I don't mind paying a bit more (though probably not $350) if it'll be easy to...

any updates on this? considering the same sets. A bit of a letdown that the Sony doesn't do as well as an LG, very weary about LG and Samsung after having so many products fail on me. I think i read somewhere the sony does 4:4:4 via HDMI in game mode

I was looking around for a decent price for a 1GB MSI Cyclone version of the GTX 460 because I want something to run quietly in my system (and stay cool), in my searches I also found the HAWK for similar price. I can't really find reviews comparing the two or a review site with seperate reviews...

Ok, I've thought this through and I think I'll go with the 300gb raptor for OS' + apps and the 1TB black for storage which I'll also use for my page files. I actually considered getting the 150gb raptors initially but price wise that would have brought me to within $50cdn of an 80gb intel...

Hey guys, For my build I'm looking for a not so sophisticated storage solution since I don't want to muck around with raid, SSD is still a bit much for the capacity and like raid is not critical but more of a luxury so I'll wait as long as I can hold out. Anyway, although it's a bit...

yeah, I think I'll go with a hotswap bay just to keep clutter down to a minimum.

Yeah, I'm also now considering a bay thing in my PC case so I can hotswap drives, not sure where I'm supposed to keep the bare drives though. Also not sure what I'll do about backing up the laptop, gotta connect it to the PC somehow I guess but it's not really as important.

Anyone have any experience or suggestions especially about some specific models maybe? Originally I wanted an external 1tb HD so I can back things up from my PCs and the laptop, then I read about lots of failures and thought maybe best to just get an enclosure with a fan cooling the drive...

Cool that's the one I want then, I didn't think I'd be picking up a vid card so close to launch of new models.. oh well, the 4870 1gb will suit me just fine for the next few months anyway I can think about upgrading later maybe they'll drop prices or something. Cheers

I know ATI is coming out with some new or refresh cards in under a month, unless something holds back my new build I will need a card right now though so I'm thinking of just getting the cheapest 4870 1gb I can find, I'd do that anyway since I don't plan on holding on to it for very long so I...

Who in Canada sells the 24WMGX3? Just curious cause I crossed that one off my "possible purchases, research further" list when I couldn't find anybody that carried it, it's a pretty new monitor

Yeah, that's what I don't get, in that TFTcentral graphic they have the monitor's gamut triangle and the sRGB triangle, obviously the monitor can display a wider gamut and has a bigger triangle so that part's pretty straight forward even for me.. but with the dE graph being right next to it I...

ok, I have to admit, I am a little confused now.. so what do the TFTcentral results represent? I thought the dE value for a given color was a measurement of the deviation that was being presented on the screen as compared to whatever standard it is being tested against? In the section where...

Hey guys, I need your help. I'm considering getting this screen for some graphics work at home so I am doing my research reading forums and reviews etc.. However, I'm a bit confused about something, PRAD (link) calibrated and tested the monitor to sRGB standard with a maximum dE of 10 and...
