So I've started to look around for SSD's to start upgrading user's laptops, but wanted to see if there were certain brands people recommended or more importantly, avoided. I've always bought Samsungs for my personal builds, but always see HP's, Sandisk, Intel, and especially ADATA on Sale...

So we are looking at upgrading our Network Infrastructure with some Fortinet UTM's (2-30E's, 1-60E's) and I was wondering if the site-to-site performance would be good enough for for the users at the other locations to access an accounting program such as Quickbooks Enterprise on a daily basis...

So I work at a small business which means that our setup isn't exactly ideal and I am running into an issue trying to map a network drive between two different PCs that use different login methods. So the User's PC utilizes a Azure AD (it's the basic functionality that comes with Office 365...

So I am looking to buy some inexpensive laptops for our small business and have honed it on these two options from their respective outlet stores. Anybody have any thoughts as to the build quality of these? Also is it worth spending extra money getting a true 1080p screen? For the same price...

I am looking to buy a couple computers for our small company and Dell outlet looks pretty attractive pricewise for business class laptops. My only only concern was build quality and if there was any significant differences between the two considering the 3000 series is about $100 cheaper...

So about a two months ago i installed a Netgear router with built in VPN support to allow our offsite employees connect up our Accounting System's database file (the program requires a mapped network drive). For the most part setup was really easy as employees were able to connect up with the...

So in the last couple days I've been running into a weird issue with Windows 8.1 crashing every time I run a windows office program. When the crash occurs the computer locks up, the screen then goes dark, and it randoms pops up with everything looks scrambled. Eventually the computer restarts...

So I am considering installing some Ethernet jacks around the house and I had a question about the wire needed. After reading around it says I might have to use CM rated cable or better for in wall installations which is fine except for the fact I can only find that type in 1000 foot spools (I...

So I am building a new HTPC and was trying to speed up the process last night(all my remaining parts were coming in today and I will be out of town this weekend). Basically I was trying to use a move an old Vista installation over to an SSD drive and then upgrade to Windows 8 pro to get WMC...

Currently I am looking at the following: Dell UltraSharp U2312HM ($229 from dell or $219 from Amazon marketplace) HP 2311xi ($168 from Amazon) LG IPS235V ($189 from Best Buy) As you can tell I didn't want to make the jump up to 24' IPS due to the massive price difference so after looking...

So my roomate just built a new computer with a GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L installed in a Antec Sonata 3. I was not present during the install process so I could not verify that everything he did but I looked over it before he powered on for the first time. The problem is that no external devices...

Currently I am running a relatively new build that has Home Premium with a Linksys Wireless adapter. Whenever my computer goes in hibernation made, I lose my wireless connection and it won't recognize the router for about 5-10 minutes. Most of the time its faster for me to restart than it is...

So I am building a new system right now and have all the components ready to rock, but one decision is holding me up, the OS. Part of me thinks that after almost a year, Vista should be mature enough to have most of the bugs and major driver issues worked out. However it seems like XP Pro is...

I am having some problems deciding between these two cards right now for the new budget system I am building. I am a fairly casual gamer who mainly plays RTS games with some FPS mixed in every once in a while. Also I have a 430w earthwatts power supply if that affects the decision at at all...

First off I want the PS3 to be successful because the more competition we have the better off we are as consumers. Not to beat a dead horse, but this has the makings of a very bad situation for Sony. Right now they need all the good press they can get but I don't think I have heard more than a...

Ok I am looking to put more rdram-800 in an old rig of mine I while looking at the intel website for my motherboard (850emv2) I saw it said it was compatible with 40ns. Would my computer work even if I had 45ns ram. I ask the question because I friend of mine is offering to sell some 45ns me at...

This is an example of trying to do something you are not entirely sure of and an example of stupidity. What happened was that I got the great idea of using my own system, which is running XP pro, to install windows 2k on a hard drive for another computer. Problem is that now every time I try...

So last night I restarted my computer after it was running a little slow and the next time I logged on to my user profile I was immediatly logged off right after the wallpaper flashed up on the screen. Everytime I try to log in now it does this. So I decided that I should maybe...
