Sorry about the vague subject, but I'm sort of in the dark about the whole situation. My friend's laptop (about 7 years old) runs on network cards (the long flat kind that you insert), one for wireless and a seperate card for wired. The same problem applies to both these cards. What will...

I optimized the TCP/IP stack, no change in the lag. I also did a speed test to Los Angeles, which is 80 miles from my location. The download and rates are fine at 574/594 kb/s respectively, but my ping is 97ms. Also, I forgot to mention that I'm wired into the router, so not a wireless...

Hey guys, I've got a slight problem with my latency as of lately. My internet has been really slow and I'm the only one on my network that is suffering. As I'm writing this, with a 50 ping test to google my average is 175ms with a 24% packet loss. I've been pinging about 200-400 on world of...

What about DVI and 700:1 on the BenQ versus the Hann's VGA with 1000:1? Which would have better picture?

Been thinking about getting a new monitor that supported HDMI so I could harness the full potential of a PS3. The monitors I've been looking at are: Hanns·G HG-216DPO (Link) BenQ FP222WH Link and Sceptre x22wg-Gamer Link The Hanns is the cheapest, however, it does not have DVI, and the...

Lol, I've heard that before, but just the kind of answer I wanted to hear. Those new ATI 3850's are starting to look mighty tempting

OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) Clocked at 5-5-5-15 at stock voltage I've updated drivers for my mobo and my video card. I have a better than stock cooler on my cpu. I can figure out about overclocking later. For now, I just want to know about the performance of my current setup

Hey everyone, I built a new computer (ram, cpu, mobo, video card) about 3 months ago. It was a mandatory upgrade at the time, and I only went with bottom of the line stuff. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E2140, 2gb ram, EVGA 650i mobo, and Nvidia GeForce 8500GT. I don't play many games besides...

I just bought a new rig which included a new motherboard (EVGA 650i Ultra). I'm using my previous IDE optical drives (one cd-rom and the other a cd-rw) along with two IDE hard-drives. I found out that my motherboard only has 1 IDE port and supports 2 devices at the same time. I need advice on...

Hey guys, recently I purchased an Intel E2140 with 800 MHz FSB and the EVGA 650i Ultra motherboard which supports 1066/1333 MHz FSB. I didn't realize this until I received the package today and already put the mobo and cpu into my case. Will my motherboard run this cpu? Thanks

Hey Kario, please post here after you get that mouse. I'd like a second opinion.

Yeah, I check woot all the time, but who knows how long till they put another mouse up. I know what you're talking about with the cordless mice, but supposedly the logitech revolutions don't have that problem. I've only heard from one person that it has lag in gaming. Hopefully more people have...

I've had it since they first came out, like 3-4 years ago? The buttons don't work anymore that well and the triggers on them don't stay held down. Sometimes it'll go through a phase where the sensor will turn off and it'll take 5 seconds of moving to turn back on.

I think it's that time for me to get a new mouse. I'm using this old Razer Viper that's barely still alive. Anyways, the specific mouse I'm looking at is the Logitech VX revolution. I can't find any reviews on it and I was wondering if it was a good mouse to use for my desktop, which I use...

Thanks for all the advice. The E6400 sounds like a viable downgrade in order to get an 8800gts. In july are all intel cpus getting price drops, specifically the 6400? Also, Does anyone know much about p35 mobos? I checked out newegg and there weren't enough ratings/reviews. Would throwing out...
