    Parallel GPU HSF Placement

    Hi everyone. I consider myself an avid SFF and Mini-ITX fan since the Lynnfield days. I am currently using a full-sized ATX motherboard and have been brainstorming different ways on how to utilize all the "surplus" space in my rather empty case. One of the things that stuck out was that despite...

    PCIe Power Questions

    1. I understand that a motherboard's PCIe x16 slot is able to supply 75w 12v DC to any dedicated graphics card that is connected. Did the PCIe 3.0 standard change any of these figures? 2. Do dedicated graphics cards that have PCIe 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors draw power simultaneously from...

    Ron Paul for President

    I heard of Ron Paul, a Representative from Texas, a few years back during the 2008 elections. Since he was a Republican, I didn't pay very much attention to him (was a Democrat). But as the years have passed, I find myself leaning Libertarian. I began to hear more about Ron Paul's platform and...

    Hey guys, I need some help. I'm looking to purchase a router for a home use. I've had good experience with Netgear's WNDR3700 so I'm definitely leaning on picking another one up especially considering how Newegg has them running at $120 shipped. Here are my base requirements: 802.11n 4x...

    What would cause Bad Company 2 to look like this???

    Hey everyone :) I need your help. I can play Bad Company 2 normally without lag or freezing, but there are graphical errors and textures that have gone haywire.

    Does game difficulty change if you use a game pad?

    Do games like CoD, L4D, or Halo revert to weaker AIs if you use a game pad instead of a mouse & keyboard? Thanks edit: I only ask this because it seems easier to play the same game at the same difficulty level on consoles.

    SB IGP Performance

    Just a quick question for the AT crowd. I use my computer with a 1440x900 monitor. Are Sandy Bridge IGPs sufficient enough to play Battlefield Bad Company 2 at low settings (native res)? Call of Duty Black Ops? Starcraft 2? This is assuming that I also have plenty of storage space, ram, etc...

    Intel screws LGA1366 users?

    From the official Anandtech Sandy Bridge review... I'd like to know what the LGA1366 users at AT think. I recall many people telling others seeking build advice to opt for LGA1366 because it was 'future-proof'. Now it seems that Intel is jumping straight to LGA 2011 for the high performance...

    Why do browsers reject the <img align=""> attribute?

    Does anyone know why you can no longer use the align attribute to modify an image's location on a web page? I know that you're supposed to put it in the <div> tag but it seems a little odd unless you plan on using CSS to manage hundreds of pictures.
