    750GTX vs 560Ti

    EVGA 750GTX 1GB (Not the Ti) vs EVGA 560TI SSC 1GB Thanks to a generous RMA upgrade from EVGA (after having to do it twice) I found myself with the above configuration choice. Now after revisiting reviews and real world usage from this past weekend I've come to the following conclusions...

    If NVIDIA and AMD ran at exactly the same price/performance/heat/RAM ratios...

    What would you go with and why? Consider that the cards are the same except for the other specs that are not typically highlighted on the box. I'm running a 560Ti and no longer interested in the 960GTX. At first I defaulted to looking at the 970GTX but I don't want to get caught up in...

    Will jumping on P67 now instead of waiting for the Z67 limit my upgrade paths?

    I know that waiting for the Z67 will allow me to have both overclocking and integrated video together but will it also allow for a longer upgrade path? Will the P67 support future 8core 2600k variants or is that something that will go with the Z67 only? More to the point. Am I limiting...

    Looking for a program to delay audio.

    I have an online video stream but prefer the radio announcers for the game I'm watching. The radio is usually 30 seconds or so ahead of the video broadcast. Anyone know of a relatively simple program I could use to delay the audio that's streamed through the radios online site? Using an X-Fi...

    Logitech G700 Mouse

    Looks like the mouse I've been waiting for but I haven't been able to find it in a local shop yet and I'd like to get a feel for it before buying. Can someone tell me if the feel/size is more comparable to the old G7 and G500 or larger like the MX 1100? My dream mouse is the G7 with 2...

    Upgrade timeline?

    My long in the tooth E6750 has decided that my standard OC of 3.2GHz is over so I'm looking to upgrade. What's the foreseeable future looking like? Would now be a good time to pick up an i7 or is there something coming in the next few months that I should wait for? My system right now is...

    Noise level of an EVGA 460 SC EE compared to an EVGA 8800GT SC?

    I've got one of the at launch EVGA 8800GT SC cards that screams when the fan hits 100% and regularly reaches above 100C on load. (not interested in buying an aftermarket cooler at this point and I do realize my setup could be more air flow friendly) I vowed that my next upgrade would take into...

    External Hard Drive Enclosure not compatible with hard drive?

    I have a 1TB WD green hard drive and a Velocty Elite Series SATA/ESATA/USB hard drive enclosure. The hard drive spins up and works fine if I plug it directly into a SATA port on the motherboard and power it directly from my desktop power supply but when I use the enclosure it doesn't spin up...

    Suggestions for migrating data/applications from one computer to another? (Win xp to xp)

    For personal use I've always just done a clean install of all my apps and dealt with the loss of general settings and anything I might have forgotten to backup but this time around I'm working with others computers. I've been asked to upgrade 4 computers at work and I'm aiming for a seamless...

    GIS Software (ArcView/ArcGIS) + SLI

    From what I've found/searched so far the answer seems to be 'no benefit' but I thought I'd submit to the masses to double check. If a specific application does not have a SLI profile. In this case, Arcview. I will see no benefit in having a system with a SLI configuration. I'm better off...

    Will we see a Logitech G7 v2 with 2 thumb buttons?

    I have the G7. I love it and it's a mouse that I upgraded to from the MX1000. The one thing I miss from this upgrade is the lack of a 2nd thumb button. I love my buttons and I usually keep the sensitivity on high all the time, using all the buttons for various macros. I see there's a G5 v2...

    Undervolting? E6750 @3.2Ghz 1.225Vcore

    I have a fair amount of experience when it comes to reading about overclocking and I've always been one to purchase the equipment but I've never really gone and done much with it. Right now I'm running an Asus P5K Deluxe with a E6750 underneath a Zalman 9700. With most of my BIOS settings on...

    I have an Xbox, DVD player and Cable receiver that all use component for the HD input. My TV is an older HDTV and it only has 2 component inputs. The Xbox and cable receiver are used all the time while my DVD player is only used every once in a while. I am not satisfied with the Xbox as a...

    Can I stop my Desktop from scrolling

    I'm working on an Dell GX280 and one of it's "features" is that when setting the resolution above 1024x768 instead of it just shrinking the screen to make it fit it keeps the same viewable area but adds the ability for you to scroll around your desktop like you would on a map in an RTS game...

    MDG Laptop = Acer

    I'm being told that MDG laptops are just rebadged Acers. I think he's 100% wrong but I thought I'd ask a group. Anyone heard of this or know for sure? Thanks.

    Using a splitter with a single VGA port on a 6800 can I have dual monitors?

    Will I have true dual monitor support when I can move my mouse to one and then the other or will they just display the same image twice? Thank you.

    I'm currently using the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro and love it's feel but I have decided that I want to go wireless to match my MX1000 I don't like the shape of Logitech keyboards (shame since it would have been nice to get away with a single receiver) but I have been looking at the...

    I'm running PC2100 DDR. Should I lower my HTT setting?

    I'm a little confused about what I should be changing here. My computer is pretty stable right now just running on the default settings but it does crash/freeze every once in a while and I'm wondering if it's due to my RAM running faster than spec. I'm also unable to run in Dual Channel mode but...
