Is there an enthusiast mobo that supports LOM? Does anybody make a solution for existing mobos? Any "outside the box" solutions I'm not seeing?
I'm managing a PC at another location through a VPN. RDP just produces a black screen. shutdown /i command is unresponsive. PING works fine...
This was the fix. I don't think it's malware because it happens in Linux too. As soon as I wen to OpenDNS and Google as the backup, These weird problems went away.
Anybody ever experience anything like this before? I run into weird problems like this when I bring my laptop to my dad's wifi. My phone will even give me a similar error with my exchange account. I did a tracert to google and a few pages and nothing looks fishy. The ISP is Time Warner. I...
I came into some 1TB SAS drives from a retired NAS. Can I modify my sata cable to make this work or is there some adapter to convert it?
This is the drive.

Thanks but that only has desktop processors. I started shopping around and it looks like the 920 might be significantly faster. An E5420 is about $25. The 920 is around $100.
Is there a website that you can compare different CPUs? I'm setting up a Plex server and trying to decide between a Core i7 920 and a Xeon E5420. They seem very similar but the Xeon is rack mountable which is a big plus.
So for about ten days I have been running Windows without requiring a password when the monitor is waking from sleep. I haven't had this problem since. Sometimes when I wake the monitor every window is resized to about 1024x768 and stuffed in to the top left of the screen. I think these are...
Thanks for the responses.
I do get errors from time to time from Cataylst Control Center. It says the something to the effect of display port failed to respond but I see it on the monitor connected to the display port.
I just noticed the auto-off feature. I've never seen a monitor with...
Anybody else have this problem? I'm not sure if it's Windows, hardware, or AMD driver. My displays go to sleep after 15mins. I never use sleep or hibernate. About 1 out of 8 times the monitor will not wake unless I unplug the power and plug it back in. I have a second display connected via...
What happens when 3rd generation google glass comes out and it looks jut like the glasses people wear all day? Are patrol officers going to just be able to pull somebody over for wearing suspicious looking glasses?
$3000 machine to be viewed through an old 1080p Samsung? NO! I would consider a 2550x1440 27" in your budget. Or maybe a few months later when you have some more money to spedn.
The XFX 7970 has some horrible quality control issues. The first one I purchased would throw up a black screens with what look like a plaid shirt texture.
I got a second XFX card now and have new issues. Now I see alot of weird black poloygons with no textures in battlefield. My second...
I hope you're not planning on playing BF3 online. It will chug in the firefights and vehicle explosions. And don't even bother filtering for 64player servers. Skyrim is a little disappointing in eyefinity. The vertical FOV feels like i'm wearing a ballcap over my forehead and trying to lay low.
Vsync almost completely eliminates MS in my rig. If i'm going to play with Vsync, I might as well use the $20 Microsoft Wireless Desktop 800. I'm not going to ever be able to aim fast enough for a multiplayer FPS. That is the only time MS ever really bothers me. I couldn't care less in a...
I would love to see a "pepsi challange" between a 6990 and a 7970. I'm curious if everyone would notice the MS if the rigs were side by side. The MS argument reminds me of people reviewing earlier generations of wireless mice and keyboards and not noticing input lag.
I saw a hiccup about every 5 seconds. I wonder how bad it is in a race with several other cars on the track. Did anybody actually play this game before CES or was it on sale the day of the event?
---^ This. I've been reading other user accounts of microstutter and you're exactly right. I invited a friend over who has been gaming as long as me and he didn't notice it. I guess even noticing this problem is based on personal experience. This pretty much makes CF or SLI useless to me.
I'm using a 6990 (Catalyst 11.12 & cap1) connected to 1 HP LP275w. My in-game FPS are reported as 80s-90s. As somebody who starred at a high amount of FPS since Quake 2, it feels like I'm looking at 50 FPS. I noticed this in many first person shooters after I setup my first Crossfire config...
Could Microsoft make it difficult for Nvidia to obtain WHQL certification? Maybe making them run through hoops after the bad blood over the xbox chip pricing? Then going and designing the chip for rival Sony's PS3.
The only sites that you can find that say they have 6800gts are the ones that have somebody manually enter in the stock from like friday morning. I have seen 6800s and some 800 dollar 6800 ultas. 6800 GTs are like the hot new toy and its 2 days before christmas. I have seen several x800xt and...
WOW! do you solve crimes too? using your psychic powers to enable you to review games before they are even released seems like a waste of your talents.
maybe you should read the pc gamer review
nvidia fans have been hearing their cards are 2nd rate ever since the beta hl2 benchmarks were released. now nvidia cards have an edge in doom3 benchmarks so it gives them right to rebut all those claims and throw it up in the face of all those ati fans
Where did all the doom3 built for nv40 come from? In the interview with john carmack on icons he said the engine was based on the capabilities of the nv25 , which is two generations ago. Did i miss something?
Also I think its pretty week that ATi's first argument is the game hasnt been released.
