    2x8GB Laptop ram. Best way to use in desktop PC?

    So I have a Macbook pro that basically died. It's got 2x8GB dimms(or are they still called sodimms?) inside. I've seen quite a few places on the internet that have those little laptop-to-desktop ram inserts. Can anyone actually recommend one that works well? Is it even worth it to try and do...

    Quad core Phenom 9600.. need suggestions for something new.

    Hey everyone.. so I have an old CPU in my "gaming" rig that I think needs to be upgraded. I have a Phenom 9600 that I am finally feeling the pinch of it's slowness. I recently got a Macbook Pro(mid 2012 model), that I threw an SSD in, and 16GB of ram. It has an Intel HD 4000 video card and...

    2 ATI 6970's in Crossfire/Eyefinity and Windows 8

    So I installed Windows 8 on my machine and noticed that Windows 8 by default sets up each monitor as their own instanced resolution. It set up 1 huge desktop, but each monitor had their own 1920x1080 resolution, so it was showing up 1920x1080x3 instead of 5760x1080. Whenever I clicked...

    3 monitors. 1 16:10 and 2 16:9

    Anyone have something similiar set up? I have 1 monitor that is a 16:10 and apparently those are either no longer being made, or they are rare, so I was forced to get 2 16:9 monitors. I have the 16:10 in the middle and the other 2 on the left/right.. I can't seem to get the 16:10 monitor's...

    2x 6970's in Eyefinity.. Help?

    I purchased 2 Diamond 6970's for Eyefinity. Each card comes with 2 DP, 1 hdmi and 1 DVI. I currently have 3 monitors, 2 monitors have DP/DVI and a third has HDMI/VGA So the DP ports on these cards is pretty close, close enough to where I can't plug in both DP adapters. I have 1 DP...

    Another 3870x2...or?

    Is there a brand 6950 I should be looking for? or is it random? I saw the 6970's at Fry's for like $329.. I didn't even notice the 6950's price because I was oogling over the 6970's.. I've been so out of the loop on video cards/prices so I'm a born again noob.

    OS on Raptor, Games on SSD? or other way around

    We're talking about SSD's here, where a lonely 60GB is like $200 bucks.. Win7 probably eats 10 of that.. I have easily over 10 games, with more on the way. Borderlands, Diablo 3, etc..

    OS on Raptor, Games on SSD? or other way around

    So outside of faster boot times, faster paging, and faster IE8 loading, what would be the benefits for me to install the OS on the SSD ? I'm a hardcore gamer and level loading is a peave of mine.. :D my current raptor, is fairly old.. it's not the Velocoraptor.. I get pretty dang quick...

    DGL-4500 Xtreme N router, gigabit connections but not gigabit speeds

    The thing is though is that both of these laptops are my work laptops.. In the office I can hit much higher throughput. I'm thinking it's some setting on my LAN.. Here's the other oddity. My NAS connection isn't gigabit, it's 100Mbps. Do lan connections function like wireless? where the max...

    Two More iPhone 3G Speed Lawsuits

    What I dont get is why aren't there any lawsuits about the iPhone's HSDPA support? It's NOT THERE! Apple.com shows it supports HSDPA but AT&T have capped the BW so you wont ever see HSDPA speeds! That's false advertising right there!

    Sony BRAVIA KDL-32L4000

    When I hit the display button,. it's showing "16:9 1080p HD" If I tell the Ps3 to display in 1080i, it shows "16:9 1080i HD" and the same with 720p. I'm just curious to know if I have a 1080p TV when it's advertised at 720p.. Why code 1080p into the firmware? Why display the "source"...

    Sony BRAVIA KDL-32L4000

    The other odd thing is that the 1080P only displays on the Sony OSD when it's running a 1080p app.. such as the XMB, LifeWithPlaystation, etc.. If I run a game that's only 720p, the OSD shows as 720p..

    Sony BRAVIA KDL-32L4000

    Sony BRAVIA KDL-32L4000

    So..this Sony 32" LCD is advertised as 720p.. and as with most 720p TV's, they'll also display 1080i signals. I've had 2-3 LCD's in the last couple year's that would do this.. 2 of them were connected to my PS3 and Xbox360.. 1 Panasonic Viera 26", and 1 Westinghouse 32".. both ONLY displayed...

    IE8 Beta first Impressions

    Welp, there goes my IE8 installation.. If it's a beta, why wouldn't they install along side. If you uninstall, does it fully uninstall and restore Ie7 to it's previous state? I tried reading about this on their IE8 release notes page and couldn't find anything useful.
