I just picked up a classic macbook pro 13" (my first apple product). I have an iphone and ipad, but my main rig has always been a windows box that I've built, so I am unfamiliar with software for use on the macbook. What are some must have apps? Is there anything to use for monitoring temps...
I recently upgraded to a 2560x1440 monitor and I think my 560ti might be struggling a bit in diablo 3 because of it. (I also run a second monitor at 1920x1200) I was thinking about upgrading to the 7870 which seems like it's at a decent price:performance point. Worth the upgrade and would a...
I haven't been able to find too much about this monitor, but from what I could find it appears to be the same panels used in the monitors that everyone is buying on ebay (Please correct me if I'm wrong). I picked one up this morning and it is gorgeous. It does native 2560x1440 resolution out...
I'll be getting my New iPad tomorrow and am wondering if I should buy a screen protector like I did for my original iPad and droid tablet. How much will it reduce the image quality of the new retina display?
I think that I'd prefer the larger screen as well, which is why I'm leaning towards the X. I'm just worried that I'll hate the physical buttons and that it may have much worse battery life due to the larger screen.
Also, since the X has the same resolution as the d2 but a larger screen, how...
I am switching to verizon because my current service stinks. Anyone know what the battery life is like on these phones. Im also trying to weigh the physical buttons on the x vs the capacitive buttons on the d2. Anyone used one or both of these that feel like sharing their experience?
Thank you for the advice. Anyone have any feedback on arch linux? I've read that it has to be built from the ground up, but assuming the documentation is good enough, I think that would be the best way to learn linux.
After much debate, I ended up getting myself a NC10 and am extremely happy with the purchase. I'd like to dual boot linux on this machine and am wondering which distros people here have found to work well out of the box as I am a linux novice. Any suggestions?
Is it loud enough to be bothersome while in a quiet room? I'm also about to start back to school for my masters degree, so I'm trying to make sure I grab a netbook that won't bother fellow students.
I was almost ready to buy an AAO until I read that they are rather noisy machines due to the fan being loud. Can anyone confirm this? I'm looking at getting the 1GB ram, 160GB HD, 6 cell version for 400.
I'm using the hdmi to dvi cable that came with the monitor. And I've gone through every possible menu item on the monitor...you canNOT move the screen around via the menu.
No, there is no software to adjust it. I think part of the problem is that after installing the drivers vista considers my monitor a plug n play hdtv, which it isn't.
I need help. I just did a clean install of Vista home premium 964-bit) after upgrading my pc. Everything is fine until I install the video drivers. After installing them, the entire desktop is shifted to the left and I cannot see the whole thing, start button included. Does anyone know how...
I'd be interested if I could decide which type of server to play on. I've always played pvp in the past but from what I've read, it may impossible to live long enough to do anything solo on a pvp server.
Will the G.Skill DDR2 1000 ram operate well on this board since the spec calls for DDR2 1066? (Referring to the MSI board. It seemed to have decent chipset cooling.)
Thank you all for the feedback. To answer a question, it turns out I have a 550W power supply. It's the Antec NeoPower 550 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103941).
It's been a while since I've upgraded my computer. I'm currently running the following:
AMD Opteron OC to 2.4
1 GB pc3200 ram
ATI X1900XTX 512MB
I'm looking at spending around $750 and picking up the following parts to swap in:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 (Wolfdale)
Suitable motherboard...
I've got a new addiction, aside from COD4, and that is playing the free demos on xbox live arcade. I'd really like to get at least one full version of something. Any suggestions, preferably something that you'd consider to have at least some re-play value?
I recently got the 42" Westinghouse hdtv as I mentioned in the title, however my 360 does not have hdmi output. I understand that over component I'm limited to 1080i, correct? Is the difference in image quality, if any, worth trying to upgrade to a 360 that has hdmi output?
Thank you for all of the suggestions. Ideally, I was hoping to spend around 400 since the game isn't very demanding, and I saw some good suggestions for that price range. I'll do some more research.
Yes, you ready that correctly. I let my wife try the game a few weeks ago and I've had to pry her off since. As a result, I need to buy her a PC that will run the game so that I can actually play. Does anyone know where I may have luck finding a fairly cheap computer that will run WoW? I've...
I recently returned my 24" Westinghouse due to a problem with the product and decided to try the Gateway this time. Aside from it being very bright, when testing out my xbox 360 over component, 1:1 scaling, the image looks like it's fuzzy or blurry. Is there any way to fix this or am I still...
Thank you for the reply. No, the monitor did not come with that cable. I purchased it locally from best buy, so I have 14 days in which to return it. I'm sort of leaning that way now because if it isn't an issue that can be easily fixed, I don't want to spend more money to troubleshoot the...
Does anyone else perhaps have this monitor that can comment? I'm hoping the issue is something minor like a cable. If not then I need to return it for another model or something.
I just picked up one of these from a local retailer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824255001 and am wondering what to do to get the most out of this multi functional monitor and how to make it look it's best.
The only thing that I've done so far is to play WoW in 1920 x...
I'm playing around with Ubuntu in order to help myself learn a bit about linux. I want to install Pidgin (the new gaim) on my machine, but no packages were availabe so i downloaded the source. After some poking around on google I discovered that I needed to install the "build-essential"...
I've seen in a few screenshots the people have been able to run windows inside of a virtual machine from within linux. I'd like to learn linux but cannot afford to fully switch, or dual boot, at this time because I need access to certain programs that only run in windows. (Work related.)
Is...
