I have used a Dell Venue Pro 11 with the Atom 3770 for almost a year now and it has been fantastic. I love the battery life I get, usually around 15 hours with the keyboard attached. So far there have been very few things I haven't done on it, despite it using an Atom. I took it on a long...

Just like it looks in the title. Looking for ideas as to which USB powered optical drive is best without spending $80 on an Apple SuperDrive. Thanks!

I need to turn 2 power outlets into 3 in a very small space (no more than 4" off the wall, very near a slim hdtv) to run a third device. I cannot use any power strip I know of because they are far too bulky with the body and cable. Does anyone know of a splitter of some kind I can use that is as...

I know when you view screen resolution in windows 7, you can see the name of the monitor which gives you an idea of what it is. I was wondering if anybody knew of a command prompt which would return this same string?

@Astrallite Interesting. I think the drivers have matured since then, I have always gotten a higher score with SLI than without.

No SLI was enabled. And I think I wasn't super clear about my "problem" haha. I am in no way concerned about my windows score. I realize it has little if nothing to do with how effective my computer is at doing whatever I need it to do, especially with it's already very high scores. This was...

I have dual 460's and they never get that hot. I have run f@h all day long on both (right next to each other in the PCI slots) and i ahve GPU1 at 76 deg and GPU2 at 65. Never went above that.

I didn't change the drivers during that time. Yeah as far as I can tell game performance didn't change. It was more of a curiosity as to why windows suddenly decided to rate them worse. And nothing else was running that would have been using them. I made sure nothing else was running while the...

A couple of days ago I ran a windows score assessment out of boredom but something really weird happened. My gaming graphics score had decreased to a 6.9. It was a 7.8 previously. I did not make any hardware or firmware changes and the last time I the assessment ran was about 3 weeks ago. None...

No. My friend has a SLI 460 set up, and it does outperform a single 480. The problem you have to deal with is occasional micro stuttering and things like that. Honestly, for me I barely notice it, so 460 SLI was the route I took. One 480 will be smoother though.

Oh. Haha I missed that page somehow when I was looking on there. Thanks a lot!

I figured you can. What happens when the clocks on the two cards are different? Should you oc one of them to be equal to the other or does it not matter?

I am looking to get 2 GTX 460 1GB in SLI. I was wondering if you can mix manufacturers and if that would create any problems. I know you cannot mix 1GB with 768MB because they need the same frame buffer size. Between 2 1GB models, would differences in the clocks matter? Like between these two...

I want to build a system around an i5-750 and 2 GTX-460 1GB cards in SLI. The motherboard I am looking at is the MSI P55-GD65 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130239 Is this a good choice? Are there any other options I should know of. This is the first computer I have...
