Hi there, I'm looking to purchase a new or used single slot GPU for hopefully less than $50. The onboard GPU on one of my desktops has recently been giving me artifacts, so I need something to drop in to replace it. This is not for gaming, strictly just for web browsing/youtube so a powerful...

I'm a sophomore in high school (15) , and I'm getting a head start on looking at colleges/careers. At this point, I have no idea what's "out there". I am mainly interested in the whole networking thing. And servers, datacenters, storage, maybe even HPC clusters, or network administration. It...

A friend asked me about building a computer for him. I asked him for a general budget, and he told me ~$3500. Though it can be anywhere around there. Even though he has that budget, I'm not really trying to spend it all. Right now, he has a Dell XPS that was very good for the time. I dont...

Currently, I have this nice little WHS server. It does backups for all the computers in the house, as well as operating as a NAS and a small minecraft srever. It has dual core CPU with 4GB RAM. However, I wanted to expand, so I got an AMD FX-8320, and 32GB of memory. I plan to run an ESXi...

There's probablly a name for this, I just don't know exactly what it is called. I just ordered parts for an ESXi whitebox. It has 8 cores, and 32GB RAM, so it should have plenty of performance for what I need it for. Something I want to do on it, is test out linux distros/play around with...

Right now, im running WHS directly on and Athlon x2 with 4GB RAM, and a couple of HDDs. I intend to upgrade my CPU/Mobo/RAM, so I can run a linux VM, and so I can play with Windows server. I plan to have 32GB RAM. It runs 24/7. It'll be hosting a minecraft and terreria server, Home Media...

I'm kinda new to virtualization, so I'm not the most knowledgable on the subject, but... I want to virtualize my home server, but there are a couple of different hypervisors to chose from. I've looked up comparisons on google, but all the results were for the full licensed versions. So...

I understand that this question gets posted all the time, but Im still not exactly sure what to get. I know that I should get one of those mPCIe to PCIe x1 adapters, but I don't know which intel mPCIe wireless card I should install into it. Thanks.

I just installed an HP nc360T into my home server, and I want to use both ethernet ports to get double the speed of a single 1gbt connection. Is there a way I can team 2 ethernet connections with DD-WRT? My router is the WNDR3700

WHS has been great, and all, but I've grown out of it. I feel like it isn't advanced enough, and doesn't offer enough features. It almost feels restricted because it is made to be easy to use, and because its for a home enviroment. I want to move on to a more advanced OS like Windows Server 2008...

I just finished my router build (Intel DN2800MT, 4GB memory, 32GB m4 SSD, HP NC360T NIC), but I'm still not sure which OS to load onto it. I currently have a 25/5 connection, but that could raise at anytime. There are about 10 devices on my network right now, but that number could increase at...

So, lately, my mom has complained that the wireless internet has been dropping when she is using her laptop, so she has to get closer to the router to get a signal. So, My dad agreed that it was time to get a new router. It needs to have 10/100/1000, and preferably wireless N, so I can get...

So I am looking for a sound card for my gaming rig. It will be mostly used for Games, Videos, music, and movies. I heard that the X-fi chip was Great for gaming, because of EAX, but I also people say that creative is not a really good company. So I searched on the internet for x-fi, and I found...

I am building a server, and I need it to be as low power/heat as possible. I would like to have at least dual core, and at least 5 sata ports. I am leaning more towards AMD, because of their expandability. Onboard video is fine too, becuase it will reduce cost, power, and heat. Power efficiency...

So my grandparents need a new computer. They have been working on some really old computer (Probably before the P4). So I was wondering what is the best Desktop manufacturer. They need a good warranty, and pretty low prices. There shouldn't be horrible build quality either. I WILL NOT BUILD IT...

On every computer in my house, I cannot go on to any financial-related websites (ie www . schwab . com - www. chase . com). They just time out. In addition, MSE fails to get definition updates. I just found out about this today, and I don't know what else that I cant do. Though, I haven't...

First of all, I am not even sure that i am going to build this server at all, I am still thinking about it. 1) Do you own a server, if so, what do you use it for? _________________ 2) This will not only be used for a file server, but i would like to also use it as a : Periodical Computer...

Yesterday, I installed General Knoxx DLC. After i installed, it said that my PT2 main quest was find Tannis (or whatever it is.. when she in in a cell in crimson fastness). I was kinda mad that the game glitched like that, but the worse thing is that I cannot turn the quest in, because SHE IS...

Why do people buy such expensive computers for just gaming? It just seems unnecessary that people buy $5000 computers, with their i7 980x oc'd to 4.5GHz, using extreme watercooling, and 5970 quadFire. My i7 930 @ stock, with an Xfx 5850 plays all games at max settings (except for maybe crysis, I...

I just recently built a new computer, with an Intel DX58SO motherboard. The problem is that the rear speaker connection is not working. Here is an image of the realtek HD audio manager: It says that the rear speakers are connected, but when I run the test, no sound comes out. I checked if the...

I was just wondering what I should upgrade next, in my computer(e.g.video card), or something in computer setup (e.g. monitors). I will NOT be upgrading the: motherboard, RAM(unless it is extra RAM), Case, keyboard, mouse, and probablly the PSU(unless I need to. 1) What will you be doing...

I just got an i7 930 a few days ago, as part of a new build. Because I came from a Q6600, I wanted to test the power of my new processor. I was excited about gaming with all "8" of my cores being utilized. However this did not happen. When I Started playing some SupCom FA, I noticed that only 4...

What sound card should I get? Should I even get one at all? Right now, I have a 4.0 speaker setup( two front and two back) with no sub, though, I could be upgrading that in the future( to 5.1) I have the Pioneer VSX-518-K. I don't think that I will be getting a new receiver for a long time, so...

I know I will get a drastic performance increase, but I was just wondering how much of a performance increase I will get. What settings will I be able to play games like MW2, Fallout3, etc. Current PC: CPU: Q6600 @ 2.4 (stock) GPU: 9500GT 1GB HDD: Samsung HD501LJ OS: Vista 32 bit RAM: 4GB...

I am building a new rig soon, and I'm interested in overclocking my Video card. I will be getting a 5850 with the stock cooler. I want to get the highest overclock, but without any artifacts or extremely high temps(obviously). I also don't want to reduce the lifespan of this card too much...

I'm interested in having RAID in an upcoming build. I want to have some kind of redundancy. This computer will mostly be for gaming.I just can't decide what type to get. I don't want RAID 0 because it has no redundancy. I don't want 1 because there is a lot of wasted disk space. There is a lot...

XFX changed their cooler on their 5850 GPU. Does anybody know why they did this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150442 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150477
