    software raid, replacing motherboard

    System: p8z68-v pro / 2600k / bunch of drives My motherboard stopped working after what nearly 3 years of running nonstop. I guess I can't really complain. I have drives setup with their Intel software RAID, I'm worried about losing my data when replacing the board. So I figured the...

    3d monitor that will work with my ps3 as well as 3dvision or amd3d?

    Title says it all. Does a monitor exist that will both support my PS3 as well as either NVIDIA vision or AMD 3d? I have some questions though: Does a monitor even exist that works with PS3 3D? Would it also support 3D movies? I've got two gaming PCs, one with an nvidia 680 (well, once it...

    nvidia 690?

    According to this quote from the 680 review: So nVidia didn't blow their load with the 680 release? They've still got a powerhouse under wraps.. have there been any leaks/rumors on when or what their next card released will be? I've got a 7970 but I really want an nVidia card on one of my...

    AMD 3d usable?

    Does this even come close to nVidias solution, all around? I've got a 7970 running 2x Dell 30" currently, I'd like a 2nd 7970 and also a 120hz 24" monitor for 3d gaming. If all goes well with that, then I would probably pick up a total of 6 of those 24"'s and bring my 30"s to my office...

    TV for nVidia 3dTV, narrowed it down..

    Hey all. So I've been in the market for a TV for quite awhile but nothing really urgent. I was also about to pull the trigger on a 27" 120Hz monitor for 3d gaming but then thought I could kill two birds with one stone. I'm pretty sure I want to get a Panasonic Viera, 50 or 55" 3D Plasma...

    crossfire 5870 + 6870?

    I currently have a saphire Radeon 5870 and want to upgrade. Looks like setting uo crossfire would be my best bet rather than buying a new card. I know you can use two different Radeon cards in crossfire, but I don't know if that applies to different series .. even though the 5xxx and 6xxx...

    So I've got a 2600k. Returned my mobo awhile back and am wondering which mobo I should get that will work with a hackintosh? If hackintosh's wont work for a bit I'll probably throw Debian on there in the meantime. Mainly use it for development, VM's, lots of DB work.. if there was a mobo...
