Im not sure if this is the right forum for this, But im looking for 2 things. One, a recommendation for a mother board, e-atx, that will work best with the 6 core intel extreme, and provide plenty of overclocking options. will be running 2 graphics cards, and 32gb of ram. I really need the...

So im working on building a new home computer. I intend for this to be more than just a gaming rig or workstation. I would like for it to be my whole central home core. I would like to use it to run all my media, use it as my DVR storage and also my thin client and security system platform...

Hello. sorry if this is not the right place.. Is there anyway to see graphically the amount of bandwidth you are using on data transfers both internally from disk to disk, and externally to/from usb 3.0 hard drive. the reason I ask is because I quite often have to save large files to a...

So i happen to think that with the advent of 10gb ethernet, and fiber becoming more prevalent that more applications will take advantage of working in the cloud. I work with 3d CAD and they are already starting to move processing to a central unit. If that happens.. then i expect fully the...

what sucks is that i have NO way to prove it. ..(i know some will stop reading there, but im not bs'n...read on) I was using CAD software. A bit of the rendering software that is built into that is supposed to use CPU rendering. IE slow. i had a bfg 8800gt oc installed for gaming. the MB has...

i know cpus are multi taskers and gpus are math mchines..but with the incredible speed of a gpu..why arent chip companies moving towards cpu/gpu style processors that speed up everything and use less power..??? or are they? sorry ive been under a rock for a while eventually i see a machine with...

any ideas?? still cant get this crap card to work in my pc. its there, and "functioning normally" but no picture.. badaboom says "no cuda equipped card installed" fold at home gpu not working either. anyone got a flash for the bfg8800gt oc? i might try flashing it see if it fixes it.

Ok so this is weird. Load drivers, install the card. and everything SEEMS to be working. go to the device manager, card is installed and "functioning properly" fold at home will even let me use the card to crunch numbers. GPUz works fine, software sandra detects fine. The problem is that no...

So i have some software that is pretty pricey. it comes with a usb key dongle that you have to plug in to make it work. I would like to make a copy of it just in case i lose it..(they are VERY pricey) ...anyways. when you go to my computer, it doesnt show up at all. (my next step is to see if...

Hi again! i was talking to the wife the other day, and realized how sick i am of sitting in the office all the time designing on my workstation when i could be in the living room doin it while watching a movie! lol (i know, i could buy a notebook, but i just cant justify the cost of one that...

Ok..the card's not dead at least. I'm trying to flash a BFG8800 gt oc with a quadro FX3700 bios so i can use openCL in my cad...here is the steps i took 1. pull bios bin from card with gpu-z 2 open bios in NiBiTor 3 changed vendor id to 061A (i think...i dont have it written down, but it...

ok so i finally got a new gaming card, so i took one of my 8800s out and its folding, and the other i would like to use in my cad machine. I know you can softmod some of the cards to Quadro status, but i cant find a clear verdict on wether its possible on a g92 card. I have a bfg 880gt OC...

how fast are you guys crunchin the numbers? just wanna see where my measly single g92 sits lol.

i know NOTHING about folding. i downloaded the highperformance software, and imgonna stick my old G92 card in a box and let her run....can anyone tell me what i need to do? is there anyway to select certain projects or what? thanks

Is there anyway i can build a machine full of video cards that will do all my rendering for me? Just got 2 8800s in it right now, so i KNOW there is much faster cards out, but if imma do it, i wanna do it big :D And i dont mean an entire computer, i just want something that i can plug into...

ok...i have a chance to buy a "used" but still new in the box Optimus keyboard for 800 bucks. (less than 1/2 woo hoo) I do 3D cad design, and im wondering if it would be possible to have Both my keyboards hooked up at once. the way my work station is now, i use my 22 inch monitor hooked to the...

OK, i upgrade to a ....LEGAL.... copy of 7. I select view all hidden files, and view all OS files. I come up with a total C drive size of 85.4GB..i have a 500 gb HDD with a effective 453gb....SOO. 453-85 = 368 GB...SO i SHOULD have 368GB of free space right? well the c drive says i only have...

computer is running vista home basic. if you try to put in an install cd (like ms office) it just locks the computer. if you use just a data cd with pdf files or pictures on it, it works fine. I think i have narrowed it down to just a problem with vista recognizing .iso files, but i dont know...

i have read like 6 5-7 page articles on fermi and im gathering one basic fact from all of them... that fermi wont give us blistering frame-rates in dx11 games, but what we do get will be very similar to AMD, just as smooth and playable, but will simply LOOK better. i guess this will be...

has anyone here ever encypted the entire hard drive and left it? how much do you think it slows your pc down? ive read that due to the way encryption writes and stores data, that it can actually speed you up in some cases! id hate to see it kill game performance though.

i got some kinda driver or hardware compatibility error or something.. i lost HDMI after a game froze, rebooted and did all my normal stuff and couldnt get the signal back. after about 2 hours of reinstalling drivers and trying different configurations something told me to try the other port...

this is what i get for buying a used game... get crysis in the mail, and first off it looks like a burned disk with a sticker label on it. then i install it and it installs fine, the key code works, but when i hit play, i get nothing but a ''insert original cd instead of a backup error"...wtf?

ok so if carbon is more readily availbile than silver platinum, gold...etc (all the stuff in a processor), carbon is cheaper than silver and carbon nanotubes conduct electricity more than 1000x better than silver...and nanotubes are easy to grow and cheap then why the f&*k arent we using...

every now and then my computer is dropping the dvi card signal. the card is running, but is not out putting signal. it ususually happens after a sleep, but occasionally the signal will never start when the computer is started. a second reboot generally fixes it though. usually after reboot, the...

so i know its not much to most of you guys, but i finally got my power supply in, so i stuck in this 8800gt oc. and man...i can see why gaming is as big as it is now. im not really into ALL the games, what i mainly play is AA2. and with everything on very high (1680x1050) it chomps thru it...
