LG M2452D-PU 24" MVA Panel for 199.99. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005312 Cannot find a review on this monitor. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Intended use would be gaming, "productivity" (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), web time wasting. No...

Your expression simplifies to v^2 + 2u^2. In general, (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 alternatively, sqrt(a^2 + 2ab + b^2) = a + b If we make the assumption that this is indeed a square of the sum of two real numbers, solve following for a and b: a^2 = v^4 2*a*b = 4*u^2*v^2 you...

Thanks for all of the comments! Looking at ASUS' website, it appears that -V and -V Pro support SLI and CrossFire, while -V LX and -V LE only support Crossfire. While I do prefer a single card solution, I have run SLI setup in the past and they sometimes are (mostly) comparable to more...

Thank you for the replies. I looked at the -LE (and -LX), but they do not appear to have SLI support. Since I will probably upgrade my graphics at least once before replacing the board, I would like to leave that option open. On another note, Newegg has a $20 savings combo deal for the...

Recommendations are greatly appreciated. Looking at these: ASUS Maximus IV Gene V: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131759 ASUS P8Z68-V: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131729 This is for an i5 2500k build, primary consideration is...

Looking at the following PSU's: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...656&CatId=1483 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...663&CatId=2533 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...450&CatId=5432 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371049...

There seem to be a number of PSU's in the 600 to 700W range with 2 PCIe connectors, usually 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 6+2 pin. Many are denoted SLI/Crossfire "Ready", with even a couple "ceritified". Since even most mid-range cards seem to require two 6 pin connectors, is the assumption that you will...

Thank you so much for the responses. Good call about the warranty! Never figured it was still covered but it looks like I have about a month left.

Hi all, I have been having some problems that sure seem to be related to my GPU (an HD4870x2). The symptoms are green lines and pixels from POST screen on (leads me to believe it is not drivers), lockups, black screens, screens covered in artifacts, BSOD's, "driver stopped working but has...

Hi all, I have a task in an MS Project file that depends on completion of either of two other tasks, i.e. whichever completes first ("or" not "and"). Is there a way to set this up with predecessors, or other technique, without "hardcoding" the one that completes first? I would like to be...

Hmmm... If a bunch of climatologists proposed solutions to the current economic crisis, based on their reading of "new research commissioned from acknowledged authorities in each policy area", would we also call their conclusions the "Findings of the Expert Panel"?

Hmmm, from the abstract, it sounds to me like hiring managers prejudiced against fat people are squandering your tax dollars... "...In contrast, we find no such labor market differences associated with morbid obesity for African-American respondents..." Yep, because hiring managers are...

I thought this said Indigo Girls. Disappointed :(

Agree helmet wind noise is pretty intense. Personally, I wear ear plugs for any rides over 15 minutes or so, especially if they involve the highway. Rattling clipons? :confused:

Basic math certainly supports this.
