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 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?

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?

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 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...

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?

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...

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...

I searched the forums and agree with the general consensus that a jerker is the desk to own. That, however, is not an option for me. Both Ikeas near me have long depleted their stock and I do not want a pre-owned desk. I've checked around and found that most places have desks that just don't...

I've finally lost complete interest in WoW and have quit. (For the second and final time.) I have a 360 and my PC to use for gaming and I'm in need of suggestions. Unless a game has a stellar single player component, I primarily base my purchases on how good the multiplayer is. I haven't...

I've recently ordered this motherboard and am at the moment debating on which processor to get. I was looking at either a 3700+ san diego, 3800+ X2, or an opteron. Some opterons are socket 939, but the description of the motherboard on neweggs website does not say that it supports Athlon 64...

I'm in the process up upgrading from socket 754 to socket 939. As part of the upgrade I'm also upgrading my radeon 9800 pro to an x1900xtx. I'm looking for a mobo that has active cooling on the chipset, but am wondering if there are any to avoid due to clearance issues? From pictures it looks...

The time has come when I'm trying to find ways to get the rest of the money I need to buy an engagement ring, so I've decided to sell this laptop. It was purchased from Best Buy, and I believe still has some time remaining on the warranty. (Which can be transferred to a new owner via my...

I'll be getting my bachelor's degree in Information Technology with a specialization in networking this December. Any recent graduates that can offer some insight into what sort of positions are available to a graduate, and what sort of pay is offered? If it makes any difference at all, our...

My brother bought a dell (against my wishes) a month or two ago. I ran the cable and hooked him into my router so he could use the internet also. Everything ran fine until this morning when he turned it on and always has a 'network cable unplugged' message and cannot connect to the web. Both...

I'm posting this from my laptop because after getting my new parts, putting it together, and installing windows, I can't get it to connect to the internet. Is there some sort of special procedure that I'm missing with this mobo? I installed the chipset drivers from the cd that came with it and...

I'm in the process of upgrading my system and am doing a fresh install of winxp as well. It's been a while since I've done a clean install and can't remember the proper order drivers should be installed in to ensure everything runs smoothly. This is what I'd assume, please correct me if...

I'm not exactly sure which forum to post this in because it could go in a few. Since this upgrade is specifically for gaming, I'm posting here for fellow gamers to read. If a mod feels that this is in the wrong place, I apologize. Here's my situation: I currently only have 512MB of ram...

Has anyone else seen the video hosted by fileplanet called extreme lunging? It shows people literally flying across the maps really quickly. I've found very little info about how to do it so far. (Though I pulled it off once. Not really sure exactly what I did then that I'm not repeating...

I, like many others, am looking forward to playing a new MMORPG. I'll only have time and money for one of these games and thus am seeking more information so that I can make an informed decision. If you have actually played the beta for either game would you mind describing things that you...

Being the huge star wars fan that I am, coupled with the fact that I'm also a BF1942 fan, I'll be buying star wars: battlefront when it comes out. The dilema I'm having is deciding which platform to get if for: pc or xbox. As much as I'd like to buy both copies I can only afford one...

:confused: I have a P4 2.4 and a radeon 9800. This combo should run most things fairly well. I play city of heroes a lot, which uses opengl for some reason, and usually get <=30 fps unless i'm in an indoor map where my fps tend to go up a bit. I'm running at 8X agp (tried 4X with no change)...

I'm currently using the stock intel hsf that came with my 2.4B back when I got it and am looking for a new hsf that can cool as well or better while at the same time being as quiet as possible. I've checked around but with so much to choose from I feel more comfortable asking the [H] than...

I just recently started folding for the [H]. I've read threads about using certain switches to optimize F@H and was just wondering if this was necessary with the current version. If it is then how to i apply them. Thanks in advance.

My tried and true SBLive 5.1 has finally died after putting up a fight. (I've had the thing for years, but kept using it b/c it worked well.) Now I'm in the market for a new soundcard but can't decide between a usb solution or whether or not just to get another SBLive 5.1. Also, will a usb...

This may be a dumb question but does anyone know of a good case that will hold the M6805? I've checked all over the place locally, but the tags on most cases are fairly vague. I'm a college student and have to carry a bookbag already so I looked into the combination bookbag/case but was...

Being a college student my nicely modded computer case has taken a beating and pretty much looks like crap at this point. I've been looking into maybe getting a mini-pc case to save on space and for the looks. (I've also heard that they're slightly quieter) Will the PSU that comes with these...
