    Cool thanks. Did you have to be careful about keeping the same SATA port numbers or anything?

    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...

    Dell 24" 4K Ultrasharp

    On the first week I was getting disconnected all the time.. lately it's been fine. Two 780 ti's enough to run that at 4k (w/ fxaa) and everything else max? can't find any benchmarks of BF4 at 4k

    Had to return my S60 =[ but may be a blessing in disguise

    Not the same models but take this for what it's worth. I have an ST50 that I used to game on w/o any issues, as long as I was in game mode. I gave the ST50 to my mom and bought a 65" VT60 which I don't notice any problems with input lag either. 75% of the time I don't even need to switch it...

    Dell 24" 4K Ultrasharp

    pretty much, especially the upscaling comments. gotta be a troll. Either a troll or, he may be deluding himself because he can't afford to buy better hardware. So he has convinced himself of a number of things, one of them that adding additional pixels above 1080p is worthless! And also...

    Cheap, small touchscreen laptops (11.6" for $249 & $279)

    I need to get my mom something to replace a huge C2D full tower she's been using, it keeps overheating (cleaning dust out etc didn't help) and I'd rather just buy her something new and portable anyways. All she does is Facebook, email, surf web, very light photo editing (cropping). I think...

    Dell 24" 4K Ultrasharp

    Huh? That makes no sense. So, by your logic, we should all game at 480p (or lower) because I mean, come on, raising the resolution isn't gaining you "much of anything".

    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...

    Was at Fry's today.....YMMV

    Yeah, be careful with their open box stuff.. I bought a GTX 580 that was ~$50 cheaper because it was an open box. I specifically asked the guys at the repairs / service counter if they tested the cards before putting them on the shelf, they said they did. Take it home and everything has...

    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...

    Seriously considering new Macbook Pro 15"

    I use a Macbook Pro 17" for work. I like my Mac, but for your use case I don't really see the point. For one, it sounds like you want to play games on it. MBP's are not meant for gaming, and will just frustrate you. The performance is disappointing to say the least, you wont be able to run...

    Is code commenting bad?

    I don't understand your point. You're basically saying that Jr Devs (or inept devs) do dumb things. This applies to adhering to coding standards, sensible commenting, following best practices, etc.

    Upgrade fever: Need help, got the shakes... 2GB 6950 now? 2GB 7850 later?

    Definitely just get a 5850/70 or 6850/70 to tide you over. A 69xx series, as you said, would only be worth it if you were planning on sticking with it for awhile. These cards are the best value for your money at this point at $100 - $150. On top of that -- if you don't mind buying used...

    TV for nVidia 3dTV, narrowed it down..

    Ok cool thanks. Yeah that forum is how I narrowed it down to this model, but there I've been having trouble finding info on using it with nVidias 3DTV offering. Was hoping the crowd here on AT might know more about that aspect of it. What TV did you end up purchasing?

    Is code commenting bad?

    It is trivial to save history (inc commit messages) from SVN --> Git or Mercurial. I've also gone from Perforce to Git with no issues. I'm sure there are other scripts or utilities to do the same thing for whatever x SCM to y SCM.

    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...

    Upgrade fever: Need help, got the shakes... 2GB 6950 now? 2GB 7850 later?

    Seriously, wait.. I didn't really understand if your reasoning for buying now would be to crossfire them later on or something? well, crossfire is way better than it used to be, but, as a recent buyer of a second 6870 the only way I'm ever going with a Crossfire / SLI setup again is if I'm...

    any decent 1920x1200 120Hz monitor for 3d gaming?

    Argh! Why do monitor mfgs do this to us.. At least the 1680x1050 is 16:10 .. I really want to jump the gun on a 3d vision setup now.. I don't own any TN monitors though. I've got 2 Dell 30" at the moment. How is the 27" for gaming? And do you have a link for it? I've got a $400 gift card...

    any decent 1920x1200 120Hz monitor for 3d gaming?

    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...

    What LCD mounting for Dell 30" (3009WFP)x2

    I have two at the moment and am looking for ideas on a mount for them. I don't want to pay more than $100 a piece on them. In fact, the lower the better.. I just need something that will let me mount these in portrait mode. Probably not the right place for this, but anyone got any tips on...

    how can I do this?

    first step would be figuring out the commands you type to do the above tasks manually. probably something like ssh server1 df -m -P /var/log | grep -v Filesystem | awk '{print "Mount point " $6 " Free Space in mb " $4}' ls -la -t -r /var/log | tail -1 | awk '{print "File: " $8 " on " $6}'...

    ext3 vs ext4 - is there really a noticeable difference?

    XFS has some nice features .. I make use of the snapshot feature extensively. It's great for running MySQL innodb tables. It thrives on a low inode count w/ large files. It has crappy delete performance. XFS had a bad reputation at one point as it didn't flush to disk often enough (or...

    ssh key doesn't work?
