    Should I be worried? Lost 30 pounds in a year. I'm not trying.

    What else changed? Did you start taking any medications? I lost 20lbs over the course of a summer due to a medication. I didn’t even notice but my friends and family did. I’d definitely go see a doctor.

    New higher minimum wage laws includes waiters. Time to lower tips to 10%?

    I guess I'm not really familiar with 7-11's in east Asia... Maybe the waiters or waitresses don't like you? 90% of the wait staff I get are good.

    New higher minimum wage laws includes waiters. Time to lower tips to 10%?

    Have you ever been to a country that has this?? The good waiters get better jobs elsewhere that can afford their talents and the really shitty waiters get paid just like the ones who actually try. Believe me, we do not want this. This is kind of like communism. Don't take away people's...

    Quad monitor setup - How to switch to PCIe video cards?

    Quad monitor setup - How to switch to PCIe video cards?

    Hi everyone, I'm running a quad 24" monitor setup. I keep getting an error message from Windows: "The color scheme has been changed to windows 7 basic: The current color scheme has exceeded its allowed memory so the color scheme has been automatically changed to improve performance..." Here...

    Quad Monitor Setup - Where do I start???

    Sorry, that is confusing. I just copied the name from newegg, so I have 2 of the 2x2gb packs totaling 8GB RAM. Isn't it using memory on the graphics card or does the RAM have some effect as well? I ran it before and after I installed the video cards, here it is: Shouldn't I have more...

    Quad Monitor Setup - Where do I start???

    So I bought a video card and installed it (an ASUS EAH5450). After changing some settings and installing drivers, I finally got all 4 monitors working. Then I got this error message: In an attempt to resolve this, I added another video card of the same type, but that didn't seem to...

    Help building budget DVR based on InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner

    Wow, thanks for all the feedback! I should mention, my overall goal is to prove that this works before investing more money (a demonstration of concept). Then, I figure I can add more components later. I want to get a bigger HDD, but, as you mentioned, the prices are too high. So, I...

    Help building budget DVR based on InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner

    Hi Everyone, I'm trying to build a home theater PC based on theCeton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner Card. I do need it to be small or quiet, and would prefer to build it in a regular PC framework to allow for future upgrades (blu-ray drive, more HDD's once the prices drop). I currently have DirecTV...

    Quad Monitor Setup - Where do I start???

    What's the point to undervolting? To make sure I don't draw too much from the PSU? I haven't heard that, but I'm not too surprised. MATLAB is great for demonstration of concept, but I typically don't use it for commercialized codes. I think I'm gonna go with two of the ASUS cards...

    Quad Monitor Setup - Where do I start???

    That makes much more sense. I didn't understand how the motherboard could restrict the power to the GPU since there are other sources for power available, as you mentioned. I guess it just seems better in my (uninformed) opinion - that way both sets of monitors have the exact same hardware...

    Quad Monitor Setup - Where do I start???

    Wow! Great feedback!!! I couldn't find that limit anywhere on the MB site (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/890GXM-G65.html#/?div=Detail), but is there anyway I could add a video card without replacing the CPU? Sounds like it's maxed out (125W CPU on 125W MB). I don't mind spending $100ish...

    Quad Monitor Setup - Where do I start???

    Makes since. Well, being that I'm on a budget, I don't need gaming. Which card should I get? I found this one for $40 and it looks decent. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130585 Will it fit my motherboard? Here is what the MSI website list for my MB: • PCI_E1 slot...

    Quad Monitor Setup - Where do I start???

    So if that's overkill, what would be a good cheap video card that would still work? Something like this maybe? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814500213 What specs should I be looking at? Thanks again for the help!
