I'm building a new SFF HTPC machine very soon and was looking for low-rise video cards. I currently only see the 750 Ti as the only modern choice available but have heard rumors that someone will release a GTX 1050 Ti (or vanilla) version some time in the future. Are these my only two options...

I'm a little new and a little lost on how pool calculations are done for Litecoins or any sort of digital coins. I signed up for Burnside's pool with my HD7950, which gets around 550kHs. When I go to check my stats online, it reports back some 80-90kHs! My questions: - Am I doing something...

I finally got my coupon code for my HD 7950 and pretty giddy about it. Sadly to say, not many games in the current list excite me. I was wondering if anyone was willing to trade or buy any of them (except for Dirt 3, I wanna play that) for something else (got a spare Bioshock Infinite key :p?)...

I'm looking to purchase an mATX motherboard for my new setup. I normally go with more stable products, spending a little more used to be fine but now I'm wondering if it's even worth it. I know a lot of people are interested in the ASUS Maximus V Gene ($210), I was sure this was going to be my...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for two headphones that will have very distinct uses. One is for me to take to work, I plan to use it just to listen to online radio, some youtube playlists, and pandora (the free kind). Sound quality isn't so much priority. The other is for home, to play games...

So I'm trying to understand the upcoming sockets/chipsets Intel will release in the next 2 or so years. - Z68/LGA1155 is the latest for Sandy Bridge mainstream - X79/LGA2011 is the latest for Sandy Bridge performance Will Ivy Bridge support 1155 when it's released in Q2 or will it be a...

What's in stock for next year? I'm looking at TVs now and some of the prices are pretty tempting but I'm in no rush by any means.

I've been researching this crap for the past several days and it seems like there's a ton of conflicting answers. So which is it? Is it possible to softmod an nVidia 480GTX to a Quadro (whatever series)? EDIT: A better question would be, is it even worth it to softmod the card since it has the...

Hey everyone, I'm rebuilding my machine and was curious to see if I could keep using my PSU. I currently have a Corsair 620HX 620W PSU that is about 3.5 years old but has been going on strong without issues. The new machine will be: - Intel Core i7 2600k (will OC) - 1 SSD and a 7,200 RPM HDD -...

I was looking at boards and I'll admit that I've been out of the game for at least some 4+ years. I'm be buying a Core i7 2600k and possibly upgrade to 6/8 core if Intel comes out with Ivy Bridge CPUs for the P67, H67, and Z68 chipsets. Anyway: - I will OC the CPU to about 4GHz, pretty much a...

How the hell do you win one of these things?? The damn game is impossible if two things are coming at you at the same time!

I'm trying to create a number of mapped drives for our company's users. Being a total newbie to this, I decided to keep it as simple as possible with a batch file. Here's the code: @echo off net use H: /delete MD \\ruffles\rnfile\Users\%USERNAME% net use H: \\ruffles\rnfile\Users\%USERNAME% net...

I was charged with moving VMs around today, one of them housed a copy of our AD, called AD1 (the other server VM is AD2). They replicate off of one another and we figured that DFS wouldn't have any issues. When I moved AD2, nothing went wrong but as soon as I touched AD1, DFS couldn't connect...

I know it's the Windows firewall blocking me and a few other machines from showing up on the Windows Network (just Network under Win7). How do I unblock it? I want to install NOD32 on these machines and unless they show up, it won't really work. =/

Two weeks ago I created a thread about issues with WSUS not updating itself or other clients. I hope this isn't a repeat of it because I just installed it on a different server and still not able to push out updates to clients. They report in, tell me the correct IP addresses, what's installed...

For some reason, everything came crashing down on August 3rd. Checked the error long and here's what I got (all at the same time): - Self-update is not working. - Some client computers have not reported back to the server in the last 30 days. 7 have been detected so far. - The Reporting Web...

We are doing a small little test run of Eset's NOD32. I love the AV, it's great. I got it to work on the server and it was able to pull up a list of nearly all the machines in the domain (only one - small company). Problem is, a lot of these machines have the wrong IP or are just plain missing...

Our email has a queue system that splits email as 1 (priority), 5 (medium), 10 (bulk). Problem is, a lot of clients put down fake emails/names that have no destination. We set it up as after 24 hours, the email should be deleted. Problem is, it stops trying to send the emails after 24 hours but...

I know the thing is not compatible with Win7, and as soon as I saw that disc, I knew it was destined for failure. Sadly, my boss and co-worker want to get this stupid thing running on a Server 2003 (to manage it) and a bunch of Win7 machines we have in the office. Anyone have an idea on how to...

We need the ability to search and replace for a text string across multiple files (one entire directory at a time would be ideal) on a server or a local machine. Example: replace all occurrences of '\\Contoso\jobs\' with '\\Contoso\data\jobs' within a group of .vbs script files I found a...

Is it possible to copy JUST the My Documents (XP) or Documents (Win7) folders? I don't care about links, desktop, music, videos, or anything else for that matter.

What tools do you guys use? I'm looking to convert Office 07, Win 7, Server 08, among a number of other things.

What do you guys use? We currently have IceWarp's Merak Mail Server 8.9 and looking to either upgrade it or migrate it to something else. Any recommendations? We host websites and sometimes the email for realestate companies (or regions of a company). All we want is the mail server, nothing...

I'm looking for some insight as to what to focus my studies on. Linux, Unix, Mac, Windows, Cisco, among the many other things. I'm only 23 so relatively young into this field and extremely curious about people's insights. So far, my current job deals with a strictly Windows environment (server...

I'm somewhat new to the IT world so bear with me. I'm trying to push out an MSI package over the network to a test user. I can assign it to the user and it installs ONLY if I select "Install this application at logon." Any other way and it won't work. Other problem, if the user uninstalls the...

Alright, I'm planning on taking the exam for 70-640 by the end of the month, Server Administration is what I'm going for. This is my first time taking such an exam and also the first time reading through the MS Press books. I created a small environment for me to work with (2 desktops and a...

Well, here we go: For the past few years, I have been using POP3 as my means of getting my email from Road Runner's servers. Minor issue: I could not send emails unless I was literally at home, nowhere else. I now have a domain and switched to IMAP as I want to be able to check my emails from...

I was wondering how do I find a good deal on an airline ticket? Is there such a thing as Bing Cashback for airline tickets or coupons of some sort? I want to go to Portland (PDX) from Milwaukee (MKE) during Spring Break.

I'm getting into playing DVDs on my desktop and I was wondering if there was any software the would upconvert DVDs to 1080p like some hardware upconverters. I tried playing back on WMC and it was pretty bad (resolution is at 1920x1200). Thank you

Just got meself a copy of Windows 7 and wanted to do a Full Format on the drive. I know that Quick Format will also allow me to install Windows 7 but that's not the case here. Everytime I go to format the drive, it only gives me the "Format" option which is basically "Quick Format." How do I...

Looking to buy some MS Points for my Zune, let's see what you guys have.

Not much to say about it, the thing is barely used in the 2-3 years that I've had it (printed about a dozen or so pages). It's very clean, little to no scratches on the cosmetic side, comes with pretty much everything in the original box (stiff have that too), but ink is pretty much empty. I...

Alright, I finished PvZ for the third time and want to play another game that is equally addictive and fun. I prefer something small to take with me on my laptop (intel X3100), nothing that requires my HD 4870. Anyone have any recommendations? I already own World of Goo (equally great game).

Going straight to the point: - How good are these machines with running Outlook 07, Zune/iTunes software, media? Zune software is already slow as hell on my D630 with 2GB and a T7300 C2D 2.0Ghz. - What's coming out, roadmap of some sort? - Dual-core, anyone working on that? - Any games...

Willing to trade also (preferred), hit me up with a PM if you are interested. - Sapphire X1950pro. 256MB, PCI-e. Pretty good card for lower-end box, served me pretty well and it still plays new games rather well, such as Left 4 Dead. $50 shipped - STALKER: Clear Sky. Got it as a gift a few...

I got it with my 4870 for free and I don't know too much about the game. I heard it has an annoying form of DRM and the game was mediocre. Any wish to chime in about those things? I'm really not that interested in the game so if I can sell it or bundle it with my old x1950pro (going to the FS/FT...

My last TV Tuner card was a Hauppauge 150MCE. Now, I wouldn't be coming here for help if it wasn't for the fact that once I upgrade my Vista machine to 6GB of RAM, the card refuses to work. Found out it was something to do with the PCI slot, 4GB+, and Hauppauge's general fail. Awesome. - With...

EVGA GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked Edition 512MB - or - ASUS EAH4870 DK Radeon HD 4870 512MB I'm basically clueless between the two, heard they are about the same. Though I like the Nvidia card better because of the Call of Duty game (heard STALKER was poopy). Anyone wanna help out with...

Why is the VisionTek 900244 Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 so much more expensive than any other card with the same amount of RAM? It even costs more than the SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5. Just wondering what I should be looking for in a new card, I've been out of...

Is a no-go. Why can't install Vista, Linux, or Windows 7 on my machine? It always hangs when starting setup and only after I take the DVD out will a window pop-up asking me if I wish to install the OS. I take the disc out, press Next/Install Now, and still cannot get the thing to run. P5W DH...
