    Is a wireless access point the best way to add Ipad to existing wired home network?

    I have several pcs wired into our dsl network at home through a non-wireless router. Am I correct in assuming that I could simply plug a wireless access point into the current router (D-Link Gamer Lounge) in order to provide the Ipad with internet connectivity? This is the first Apple...

    Is this a good camcorder to film my new baby with?

    I just need a decent amateur camcorder to film my new daughter's early years :) I don't want to spend a huge amount of $$. Is this a decent cheap one? Costco. Or is there a better option at Newegg? THANK YOU!!!

    Need something equivilant or better than a 4870x2 with hdmi + dvi simultaneous outpu

    That wouldn't send sound though would it? My plan was to send a LONG hdmi cable into the next room.

    Need something equivilant or better than a 4870x2 with hdmi + dvi simultaneous outpu

    I'm happy with my 4870x2 but mine doesn't have hdmi. I've been browsing Newegg but am just becoming more and more confused. Can anyone recommend a card that is at least as powerful, and can simultaneously display to a monitor via dvi and a television via hdmi. I need both to display at the...

    Replaced Video Card, Same Problem Occurs, Squares On Screen From Boot On, Help!

    This is insane :( Now have a new psu and mb. Still have scrambled characters, artifacts during bios, occasionally no screen at all. Will occasionally boot fine and then run fine for several hours. Is the following logic sound? Not the video card because it's new and I ran Fumark for 60 mins...

    Replaced Video Card, Same Problem Occurs, Squares On Screen From Boot On, Help!

    After trying every suggestion in this thread, I'm done lol. Broke down and ordered a nice Corsair Psu from newegg. If that doesn't fix it, plan B involves tears. Thanks again for all the help!

    Replaced Video Card, Same Problem Occurs, Squares On Screen From Boot On, Help!

    Sincerely appreciate the help! Thank you everyone! Tried to boot with a disk just now, screen is just black atm. It will do this for awhile, then the next day for instance it will boot a few times (was lucky that I was able to update bios), and then nothing. Comp sounds like it's starting...

    Replaced Video Card, Same Problem Occurs, Squares On Screen From Boot On, Help!

    Have you actually seen a mb do this before? I was considering it might be the mb, but am leaning towards the psu. Please tell me SOMEONE has had this situation happen to them before? In 10+ years of building computers I've NEVER seen anything other than the vid card cause artifacts.

    Replaced Video Card, Same Problem Occurs, Squares On Screen From Boot On, Help!

    It's a Sapphire. And the character thingy really threw me as well. I'm tempted to just go ahead and order a new psu, but I can't fathom how low power on start up would change the characters while leaving them in the correct locations. I'm so confused... :confused:

    Replaced Video Card, Same Problem Occurs, Squares On Screen From Boot On, Help!

    You may be right, but why would it work for a year and a half with no problems if that was the issue? Do psu's degrade over time or something? Would hate shell out the $$$ and have it not fix the issue :(

    Replaced Video Card, Same Problem Occurs, Squares On Screen From Boot On, Help!

    Would REALLY appreciate some advice. Rma'd my 4870X2 due to having tiny squares on screen from boot on/sometimes no screen at all. Eventually screen would just go black. Assumed it was the vid card. Just received new card, same problem occurred after it was seemingly stable for a day or...

    Idiotic Bloat Ware On New Dell Laptop, Will Not Send My OS Disk!

    So I just got a new laptop. I always wipe it then reinstall the OS to get rid of all the crap they load. Was horrified to find there is no OS disk. Via Dell support, I am to use the recovery option which will simply put all the crap right back my laptop. They will NOT send me an OS disk...

    Worth Getting A+/N+ While Still Lifetime?

    Hey Guys, I'm in the middle of changing careers, finally finishing my degree in comp science after being away for years and years. I'll probably end up somewhere in programming, but would it be smart to grab the certs before they change to 3 year renewals? On the Comptia site it does say...

    4870x2 97C Too Hot?

    The card has been running just fine for roughly a year now with no issues. When playing Dragonage (doesn't happen with any other game) every 7-8ish hours the computer shuts down. The card goes up to 97C when playing Dragonage. My initial thought was to replace the psu (just barely meets...

    I'm Going To Kill Myself - Massive Scratch On New 30"

    Sorry for late reply. It was definitely scratched, I could place the tip of my fingernail into it. The hd was also clean. Now with the screen off and using a flashlight, the scratch is 100% gone. And yup, just used rubbing alcohol. I read somewhere that it can melt the anti-glare...

    The pixels behind the scratch appear to be fine, I think it just went through the clear coating, or whatever it's called. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

    Dell 3008WFP, a harddrive fell onto the screen leaving a deep, 3" scratch. I've read about using an eraser, Vaseline, etc.. Is there a company that can repair, or replace screens? I'm going to go cry now.

    Please Save Me From This Hideous Case!

    Several years ago I made a very bad deal with my wife. I get to pick all components, she gets to pick the cases. I had no idea at that time being newly married just how bad her tastes run... Money being no object, did she choose a Lian-Li or a CoolerMaster? No, she chose a Guardian. When...

    It's been a long long time since I've upgraded. I'm ordering an Asus P5W DH Deluxe along with an E6600 Core Duo 2. Is it worth the money to get DDR2 1000 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146563 or should I just get something like this...
