I am in process of assembling my build and am stymied regarding what may be the best course in terms of fans/AIO placement. I think I am overthinking this and would appreciate any help: My system: i7-8700K (will be overclocked) 32 GB RAM 1070ti GPU EVGA CLC 280 cooler...

Hi there - My last build circa 2008 is no longer adequate for what I plan to do in Fall. I am back in school and will be starting with hard core machine learning and artificial intelligence course work that would require lot of computing power (my peers tell me that even on their 2-3 year old...

The second - to display/track information that might be useful for your customers or potential customers?

I hope this is the right forum to post this; if not, somebody please tell me and I would post it in the appropriate forum and ask the mods to delete this post. I am starting my own business in short order and am now in the process of thinking about the website, an area I have no experience in...

Hello, I am buying a Dell XPS 9000 (i7-920, 6GB DDR3 RAM) machine that would be used primarily for watching/streaming movies (SD and HD) on a 24" HD monitor, and office work. No gaming. Dell offers following four choices (no other information provided about the cards on the website) and I am...

I have Acronis True Image 11 Home as well as Acronis True Image Home 2009. Are both compatible with: Windows 7 64-bit? Windows 7 32-bit? Also, i read somewhere that the best practice is not to install Acronis on the system for an image backup, but to run it off DVD. I am noob in this...

Do these need to be installed in a window?

Would my MSI N9600GT 512M OC GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit video card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16814127333) be a limiting factor in using this monitor? What issues come up?

I have configured my Firefox to open up gmail or yahoo mail when I click on an email link on a web page. However, I cannot find a way to change my system-wide (Windows XP) email client to these services. For example, when I select a file and use the "send to" feature, I end up with hotmail/live...

Thanks. Since Linux is all Latin to me, a follow up question - if I separate /home and /data, and keep all my data and media files in /data, does that mean I would not be using the /home partition at all? The reason I ask is that in this case can I get away with making /home partition as small...

Just finished installing Xubuntu on my old laptop (Dell PIII 700 MHz, 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD). This is my first encounter with Linux and I am wondering if I did everything as it should be done: (1) This laptop will have only Xubuntu as the OS. So I manually created three partitions in the...

Puppy Linu or Xubuntu. Go with the latter if you can spend lest than $20 and upgrade to 512MB. I am doing this for my Dell Inspiron 8000 - I have 256MB RAM and additional 256MB is just $10 or so on eBay.

noob to Linux here... will puppy be the most optimum distro for a circa 2000 laptop (P4 1.7GHz 256MB RAM) if all I wanted to do was (1) surfing - 90% of the time (2) occasionally work with OpenOffice (3) be able to read PDF files. I know it comes with Seamonkey, but can I run FireFox at an...

600W - Quiet but not silent (didn't expect it to be). After my video card, this is the second in rank as far as noisiness is concerned. But really you have to strain your ears somewhat to hear the PSU fan. Also my MSI 9600GT video card is much more noisy (very unhappy with it) so it really...

Would the CF card have enough read/write speed for this purpose? This sounds intriguing as I have several 8GB CF that could possibly be used for the same purpose.
