    Lepai or sound card ?

    the reviews for the Lepai are positive at most sites that i've read through. thanks for those options. there is so much out there. i tested some speakers at Microcenter, and the GigaWorks came out ahead. But i'll definitely consider others. do you think the Xonar DG (or another sound...

    DELL UltraSharp 32" HD 3840 x 2160

    The Asus PQ costs north of 3K. This should be north of 8 gagillion bazillion dollars !! I don't have enough body parts to sell and still have enough left to game.

    6970 and the 8pin pci-e connector

    For modular PSUs, i think the 8 pin connector needs to be male-male. The one linked above is not male-male.

    Firefox Hangs On Startup For Around 10 Seconds

    have you cleared cache ? while you may have removed all extensions, have you also stopped FF from automatically searching for any updates, whether to itself or to any possible extensions ? do you have any other program that is also searching for a connection at the same time as FF is starting ?

    I love dumb fones

    after a nightmare experience with the samSuck Behold II, i took to reminiscing about the pleasures i had holding some of my old SE and Nokia handsets, and recalling how they fulfilled all my needs with nary a complaint. i found smart fones to be too needy and too complex for their own good...

    New owner of Samsng Behold II

    I want to tap its potential but I have have a small issue . . . I'm a pre-paid user. Highly restrictive web browsing via 3G, limited to a few pre-selected sites. Wi-fi signal strength varies greatly. As of yet I have not been able to access the Android App Store, which really sucks...

    My PC MW2 Review: A must buy! Cancel teh boycotts!

    i think the FP view is cluttered compared to MW1. There are too many numbers and readings and the shooting process is not as smooth and quick. They set the precision bar high with the first, which they unfortunately could not maintain in the second. The graphics are truly amazing, even on...

    EEE PC 1000HE flashing lights question

    i really can't understand how these lights are driving you 'nuts' .. . . they are innocent, lifeless, un-self-conscious little entities who cannot distinguish you from pile of lint. better if you leave them alone and stop staring at them.

    Which netbook out there has the best sound quality?

    I think the HP Mini has the best positioning for their speaker, which given the nature of these netbooks, matters more than it should. Theirs is the only speaker that shoots sound directly at you, rather than from parts below.

    Netbook mem compatability ?

    I would like to uprade the mem on an Asus 1000HE. The Asus has PC2-5300 (DDR2-667) whereas the stick linked below is PC2-6400 (DDR2-800). Will the Asus simply scale down the higher spec'ed stick ? or do i need to buy a stick of identical speed rating ...

    Netbooks + HDMI + Netflix??

    the asus 1000HE should serve you fine. you can upgrade to 2GB RAM and swap out the HD for a 7200RPM model if you need the added speed/resource boost. You can even do a small OC of the ASUS 1000HE. Check out Youtube for some vids of the mighty feats this little netbook can achieve. Or...

    1080p 120hz

    this is a hardware limitation issue . . . the vast majority of LCD monitors do not render faster than 60mhz. video cards work with frames per second that may far exceed a television or monitors 120mhz but your LCD monitor mhz is capped at 60. CRTs, if you have one, have higher refresh...

    Any difference between HDMI/DVI and straight HDMI ?

    my new ASUS TOP 4870 512MB does not have HDMI but it does come with an DVI to HDMI adapter. does anyone know if there is any loss in quality between what the adapter provides over a straight HDMI to HDMI connection ?

    8800GTS too hot.

    Why is everything a TN panel?

    right, that would be the point he was trying to make . . . .but the analogy is way off. a $10.00 HDMI cable will produce the same results as any that is more expensive. But for most computing needs, a top flight $200.00 TN will produce results that are as close to if not better than a...

    i have the 289. purchased in june. no complaints while i ran the monitor with a 88000 GTS switch to a 4879 512MB and now I can't stretch the screen to fit the panel. the OSD doesn't have the option to do so. the left edge of the windows start button is off screen. any ideas ?

    Made the jump to 4870 . . .Question ?

    i may work with the old card. but one of the screws that hold the cover is chewed down. i will work with the card and see if i can fit an Accelero S1. reselling the card is not an option because the depreciation is less than a third of what i paid, and probably less. i can't locate...

    Made the jump to 4870 . . .Question ?

    thanks . . . lol. i should have been a wee bit more specific and ask if the Corsair 620 come with TWO six pin connectors ? i don't see them in the bag. I suppose i can buy them . . . Would it make any difference if I use the 4 pin adapter cables that come with the 4870 ...

    Can somebody help a brotha out?!?

    This is such an easy 'suggestion' to make that i am not sure why are you bothering to ask. How about three identical cards ? Why not buy three x2 and have six cores gunning simultaneously ?

    Basic: Kind of connectors for SATA Seagate ?

    thanks for the help. but the power connectors between the two drives are different. WD has - what I term - the older and wider ones, where the Seagate appears a touch modern (flat, smaller). I will look in the bag. Hopefully they are there. If not, I'll ask for a 'SATA power cable'...

    Basic: Kind of connectors for SATA Seagate ?

    Hi. I'm a lifelong WD user. Yesterday I had to swap out a corrupt WD for a new 250G Seagate SATA. Lo and behold, I see their connectors are different. WD has the fat line of pins but Seagate has the smaller and thinner four pin connector. Basically, where do I connect that to ...

    Just bought a Hannspree HF289H 28" LCD

    The later Hanns version (285) has supposedly better contrast performance. Otherwise, mostly the same, expect for price. In having played with the 285 for several weeks, there are no disappointments. I had no problem buying a TN since I can live with the minor limitations that tech possesses...

    THE GTA IV Vehicle Experience

    Look for the Sentinel XS, a gorgeous suped-up version of the Sentinel. there is a mafia-version that comes in white and i believe only becomes available through a mission. the same goes for the Super GT (Jaguar XKS clone) and the Infernus - only by successfully completing certain...
