    The lies of IGP.

    Is it me or do you also feel let down by AMD in terms of APUs. I mean here we are a hell of a long time after ATI was taken over and the bold claims of APU’s coming to dominate and bring AMD to glory. Ryzen is only IMO almost evenly matched to intel because of price and more cores. It’s still...

    Whitebox VMserver old hardware vs new

    Hi, I've been looking into making a new server to replace my old EH490 windows home server. I was planning on making a whitebox sever, and was considering waiting for Devils Canyon, but I have a feeling there is no point because it probably won't be much of an upgrade over my 2600k @ 4.9...

    Tweaks to speed up windows default timeouts

    I find that many times Windows has all sorts of default's that slow and stall out a computer. It's especially noticeable when you have an SSD and it takes 30 seconds to wait for a network connection to fail before it continues with the logon. Please post tweaks here. My few have been...

    Eyefinity Monitor suggestions.

    I'm stunned that there isn't a list of super thin bezel monitors out there yet. I have a BenQ 24" which has a bezel which is fairly large but at the office I bought a Syncmaster 2343BWX, they are cheap at 180 each and offer 2056x1152 which is not bad instead of the 1600x1200 by cheaper...

    E6600 VS i5 worth the upgrade?

    Hey Guys, Generally when I upgrade I look for at least 50% more performance. I've been eying the new i5's since I could never really bite the bullet on a i7 920 because of the retarded prices of the motherboards. I know the i7's are the fastest but for about 450$ Canadian I can get a...
