    KVM Switch for Logitech MX Duo

    I've been looking for one as well and I just saw that same thread you speak of. All the other information I've found about the logitech mx duo and KVM switches don't seem to mention the extra buttons on the keyboard and mouse. I don't know much about KVM switches and I was going to pick up that...

    sent the motherboard back to newegg. They sent me a new one. New one is working fine so far. Although I havn't tried to take the processor out sideways or anything yet. ;-P

    New system... won't POST

    yessir... I've been searching the web and doing some reading... apparently arctic silver 5 is pretty sticky and I've read a few stories of other people also removing the heatsink and having the CPU come right out of the locked socket also. According to them, it scared the hell out of them but...

    New system... won't POST

    Ok horray for stupidity on my part... well here goes.. Ok I put together my first new system and got it all working. When I switched on the PSU switch each time, nothing would happen until I hit the case button on the front. seems normal. Anyway, I was looking around the BIOS.. I didn't change...

    Think any tech sites will get DOOM 3 and run a hardware review before the official release date?

    yeah, I saw that too. I meant to say the normal "high setting" I guess.. I forget what PC Gamer called the even higher setting.. extreme or something.

    ahhh ok. I was wondering for a second if the manufacturers of cards with nvidia gpus made changes to the drivers to fit their cards better or something.

    Think any tech sites will get DOOM 3 and run a hardware review before the official release date?

    There's been lots of talk lately about which card to get and what will be best with the game.. and of course, nobody really knows for sure until they have the game. But I've been wondering since PC Gamer got an advanced copy, I wonder if any tech sites will also and let people know what to throw...

    Ok, what have you heard computer salesman saying before...

    haha great thread. here's my contribution. I was helping my friend pick out some hardware for a wireless network. We were at bestbuy or compusa (can't remember) and they didn't have enough 802.11b stuff on the shelves. My friend asks if the A and G stuff is compatible with each other and the...

    New System

    I think I might just spend the extra $$$ go with the Mushkin I was originally planning on. I don't know too much about memory but from what I can see, athlon 64 boards are picky with ram. I didn't seem to read anything too helpful that would influence a decision on that THG article or anything...
