Thanks you for the intelligent reply.

Really? Do you guys treat everyone on this forum as if they're retards? Or am I just the special one? Here's a link to his account. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&ftab=FeedbackAsSeller&userid=zachsmith57&iid=-1&de=off&items=25&interval=0&mPg=6&page=2 It looks...

Wow, fantastic explanation! So you're telling me all these W7 COA's being sold on eBay are garbage? Really adds up...

Are they legit? The seller has 99.5% positive feedback and has sold 30+ copies so far. Where did he get them? They're W7 Pro COA with a Dell hard drive. Will this work for my custom Gigabyte/Intel PC? Full support/updates from Microsoft or? Any other option for a sub $40 license? I've had...

Hello, I have a lot of devices using Wi-Fi and I'm currently just using the built-in Wi-Fi capability of the Xfinity Arris 682 telephony modem. I and have an old Cisco Linksys e1200 lying around that I'd like to add to the Arris for additional Wi-Fi bandwidth. How do I go about doing this...

Especially when you have ADD like me and Firefox has 8 windows open with hundreds of tabs...usually runs about a gig of memory.

Okay, excuse my lack of understanding in the GPU arena. I have a Zotac GTX 460 1gb OC edition and came across a Sapphire HD 6970 2gb Dual-X for cheap last month (of course; it's an old card). I was assuming it would spank on my even older GTX 460...but it doesn't seem to. In the few games...

Since it's not a "K" I guess I won't be overclocking, but is that the quickest memory that this processor can use? Or would there be a performance boost with faster rated? (I'm totally new to modern hardware). Also, since I won't be overclocking is the Z97 motherboard overkill for me? Should...

That was my exact thoughts. But, I just pulled the trigger on a slickdeal, Intel Core i5-4590 + GIGABYTE 1150 Intel Z97 ATX Motherboard for $220 shipped. Now I just need 8gbs of DDR3... Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the replies and ideas. I think I'll just try an e8600 for now and keep my eyes open on slickdeals the next few months. Does anyone know why I can't access the "For Sale/Trade" section? I get this error message: Noya21, you do not have permission to access this page. This...

Okay, so I built this PC way back at the end of 2008 with a Bing Cashback deal. Q8200 (@ 3.15ghz) only a 7x multi Xigmatek s1283 120mm cooler Gigabyte P45-UD3P mobo 8gb Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 (only good to 890-900 I think, 450fsb) GTX 460 1gb Zotac amped (or something, previous 9800gtx) OCZ...

My only PC is the desktop I built in late 2008 with that Microsoft Bing cashback deal. Q8200 (ugh) @ 3.15ghz via 445fsb Gigabyte P45-UD3P 8gb (2gb x 4) Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 (limiting the OC...along with the x7 multi) Xigmatek 120mm cooler...s1283 I think 550w OCZ modular PSU...

Hello, I've come to realize just how outdated my Q8200(@3.2ghz)/8gb/gtx460 is when I used a friends i3-2100/4gb/9800gtx. I really don't play new games and or do much editing. I came across a local electronics recycler that sells a lot of older systems. They had a lot of Q8200s, e8400s...

Thanks for all the replies everyone...unfortunately I was impatient and accidentally wiped it. Luckily, I had a spare PC to use and was able to save personal data off C: after it wouldn't boot. Learned my lesson lol.

I don't have a USB-to-Sata connector. I'm looking at the SYSINTERNAL files, which tool will do this for me? Thanks for the reply :-)
