My friend just moved into a new apartment complex and they provide wifi for their residents but the coverage sucks in his apartment. He can only get a decent signal in the one corner of his place. Is there a way to use an old linksys WRT54g router to "extend" the network and provide better...

Looking to pick up a 560ti to get by playing BF3 and Skyrim until I can build a new rig. I have my q6600 at 3.2ghz. Think I'll be ok or bottlenecked? I'll be playing at 1680x1050.

So we recently upgraded our server at work and moved to a domain from a workgroup. I migrated all the existing local user accounts to be associated with the new domain accounts which is all well and good, but the local profile folder is still named the same as the old local user account. Is...

I'm looking to pick up a vidcard to get me by until I build a new rig at the beginning of next year. I'd like to be good to play mw3, deus ex and skyrim. My current rig is in my sig, and I was thinking of picking up a 560ti. Does this sound good? Any specific card or just the cheapest one?

Not sure where else to put this - I'm putting together the server rack for our new office space and I'm wondering if there is a standard or most common depth for a server rack. It is adjustable from 24"-36". I know most components have rails that are adjustable to accommodate different depths...

Looking for a small program that will create a new folder in a specified location with a user input name and then a bunch of standard subfolders underneath that new folder. Does anything like this exist?

We're relocating our small architecture firm and in the process upgrading our network. We currently have a file/print/dhcp server running 2000 server, seven workstations, a couple laptops, an NAS box for archiving, and a few printers/plotters. Currently, everyone logs in locally at each...

I'm building a new gaming system, mainly for Skyrim, but also for Deus Ex, Battlefield 3 and a couple other titles. I don't mind waiting as I have a decent rig right now, but I'd build it ahead of time if nothing worth waiting for (hardware-wise) is coming out before then. I've been out of the...

We need to build a couple new CAD workstations for the office and instead of giving both new machines to the grunts I'm specing one out for myself and giving my old one to one of them. I found another monitor in our storage room that matches the two I'm using now so I'd like to setup my new...

I'm currently building a pc for my boss (who's also my dad) to replace his old piece. Here at the office (an architecture firm), we're running 32 bit xp on all our pcs with the server running win2k server. His new computer is a core i7, 6gb ram, etc., and I was thinking of putting xp64 on it. I...

Got one, thanks.

So I'm setting up my boss' new NEC LCD3090WQXi. The native resolution is 2560x1600 but I can't get it to go above 2048x1536. The graphics card is an AGP Radeon 2400 Pro with Dual Link DVI that supports this resolution but it doesn't even list it as an option. I'm using the lastest drivers for...

Currently I have a Viewsonic VP191b. It is decent, a 19" TN panel I believe. I'm looking to go with a 20-22" widescreen. It seems that all the new panels are also TN, so I'm not sure if I should just wait for new tech or go with something in the interim? Just looking for opinions I guess or if I...

Just wondering if I will have any problems squeezing this monster into this case. It's a big case so I doubt it, but I just want to make sure before dropping that much bank on a heatsink. Thanks.

Thought this info might be useful to some people. I recently ordered an EVGA 8800gt from Newegg and received it today. The part number I ordered was 512-P3-N801-A1 and this part number matches the sticker on the card itself. This card does indeed have the new reference cooler with the larger...

Picking up an AT&T Tilt soon and looking for some cool apps to run on it. Any sites that have a bunch of apps or some ones you'd recommend? Thanks.

I'm doing a little refresh of the rig in my sig. These are the parts I'm looking to use: abit IP35 Pro Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 EVGA 8800GTX These parts look ok? I'll be reusing the other parts in my sig. Also, I'm not sure what ram to go with. Should I go 2gb or 4gb? DDR2 1066? I'd like to get...

Putting together a new CAD workstation, just looking for some feedback. Anything you would change or do differently? Thanks. Plus two 80gb WD SATA drives in Raid 1 that I already have.

I'm putting together a CAD workstation and I'm looking for a simple mid-tower case that wouldn't look out of place in an office setting and that comes with a sufficient and quality PSU. The parts going in it will be: -Asus M3A Mobo -AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ AM2 -PNY Quadro FX1400 Along...

I'm currently running a 7800gtx with an Opteron 170 @ 2.5ghz w/ 2gb ram. I'm wondering what new vidcard I should get that wouldn't be overkill for this system and leave me cpu limited. Not willing to upgrade the system right now, just the vidcard. I've been out of the loop for awhile so any help...

I have three of these. They were used in an architectual firm before they were replaced. They are in perfect working condition. I am not willing to ship these. They are pickup only or I will deliver free of charge if you are not too far away. They are just too big to ship and I have no boxes to...

Apparently there are no in game AA settings for Red Orchestra: Ostfront. What I want to do is make a profile to force AA in just this game. The problem is that it's a steam game and in the nvidia profile thing you have to associate an application with the profile. But if I associate it with...

I'm looking to get into a bit of freelance web design, just small projects for local businesses. I already have a job lined up and hope to have more soon, but I have no idea what the going rate is for stuff like this. Anyone here do any work like this? I figured billing hourly would be easiest...

So I installed the vivo wdm drivers from nvidia's site, and when I restarted it's saying there is new hardware found. If I look in device manager there are two unknown devices under sound, video, and game controllers. What other drivers do I have to install?

I'm looking for a way to mount a 120mm in the 5.25" bay area of my case, so it will sit at the back toward the mobo and blow air back onto the motherboard. Does anyone sell a mount that will just bolt up, or will I have to modify a drive cage or something?

I have my 170 at 2.5ghz right now, 1.4875 volts. It seems that anything lower gives me problems in some games (BF2 mainly), but is still prime stable. Anyway, it's loading at 52c right now, which seems a little high to me, though not dangerous. Should I worry about this temperature? Also, my...

As the title says, in perfect condition. $110 shipped in the 48. pm or email wslowik AT drx.cc heat ebay: wslowik87

So I've been tinkering with my opteron here, just trying for a modest overclock. I have it at 2.4ghz, 1.35 vcore, and it's prime95 stable, and memtest passes no problem. But as soon as I go to play BF2, it drops to the desktop after a few minutes of playtime. If I set everything back to default...

I've heard of some people completely disabling the page file with 2gb of ram. Is this ok to do, to completely prevent swapping? Will it cause problems?

I'm messing with my girlfriend's laptop, a Dell Inspiron 9100 that has a Prescott at 2.8ghz in it. 90% of the time the thing sounds like it's about to take off. I mean, I've heard some loud computers before, but this thing is ridiculous. So I loaded up speedfan and prime95 and the thing idles...

Looking to give this game a try. If you have a copy lying around that you're willing to part with pretty cheap, let me know. email: wslowik at drx.cc or pm me. Thanks!

Pretty simple here, just that these dual purpose connectors are confusing me. I just want like a line out to my tv from the x-fi. I have my headphones plugged into the first speaker out port, what should I use to go to the tv? edit: and on an unrelated note, because I didn't want to make...

Dual core nub here, trying to load both cores of my new opteron. I need to run two instances of prime95 and set affinity on each, right? The only problem is it won't let me open two instances of prime95. Is there something else I have to do?

I currently have an a64 3200+ in my system, with an Opteron 170 on the way. Should I reformat after installing the Opteron, or will I be ok just swapping it running my current install?
