OK ya was looking at the 560 or possibly 570 if the budget can be accommodated.

Well with memory he will start with 2x8GB so there will be room to add more. He is adamant in using ATI video card in this build if he has to get a GPU. This is because ATI color matching on his monitor to printed results is supposedly easier to do.Thing is I have no idea what ATI card to...

Friend wants to build a replacement computer for his old outdated system. He is using an AMD A8 with Photoshop non web based version, Corel Video Studio and ON1 photo editing site. He was thinking of using Asus Prime X470-Pro Ryzen5 2400G 16GB RAM EVO 860 SSD 500GB Win10 Home 2 TB...

Already using online backup on old box. Will probably image the new install so I have a base to restore to if need be. Content Advisor of course only restricts IE users and not Firefox or Chome if those browsers are used. May implement something through the router to tighten down the security...

Looking at relacing a 2 computer Win XP system using peer to peer for a Point of Sale system. Current system is 7 yrs old and new version of the PoS requires Win7 X64 Pro. Current system is using one machine as a "server" with a Promise Super Swap 1100 for RAID 1. If I decide to use RAID 1 on...

Was using AHCI and ISRT and ISCT were both disabled. Will disable the Marvell. Ran Memtest for 7 passes no errors. No SSD involved in this build nor RAID. Did not ask for any drivers. Had to install the drivers for the ! items in device manager:audio, nic, Intel Management, Video etc. The 1206...

Its crunching through Windows loading. The 2 SATA drives are hooked up to the Intel controller. The Marvell SATA has nothing attached to it. I tried those options at HotoGeek and it appears to be something after the black boot screen since those items scroll off quickly. I am pretty sure there...

I just finished building a system with the following P8Z77-V Pro BIOS 1206 i5 3570K (not overclocked) Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit (4 x 4GB) 500GB Caviar Black 7200rpm SATA III w/ 32MB Cache (boot drive) 1TB Caviar Black 7200rpm SATA III w/ 64MB Cache OCZ 600W...

I am in Canada and as such Netflix selection sucks and Hulu is not available. Space limitations for where the computer is located preclude using a TV and the friend has no problem with the current LCD monitor and his vision.

Friend wants a new computer to replace their aging P4 PLEASE when you POST threads asking for input on system builds tell us... 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Home use for web surfing, email, listing to music some video streaming...

Ya a SandyBridge may be option would have to price out a mb and cpu.

Thing is there is always something new coming down the pipe. How long has bulldozer been rumored to be coming? Then of course one has to wait for reviews of all the motherboards to show up.

I am wondering the same thing. They probably only need 4GB of RAM or perhaps if they get into light gaming 8GB,

Is there a problem with AM3 based motherboards and being able to use memory faster than 1333? Looking at building a system for someone with a M4A87TD EVO and they want either 8GB or 16GB of memory on board. Just wondering if I use a AMD X4 or X6 if I will be restricted to 1333 memory speed as...

Tried a Vcore of 1.32v and UltraHigh for Loadline calibration and the CPU temps during XLin reached 73-74C temporarily with the temps hovering around high 60s. In XLin should the number of threads be 4 or 8?
