    General buckets of GPU perf in laptops

    What are the general buckets for performance of GPUs commonly found in laptops? I ask because a) I am not the type to split hairs between 3-5fps difference between GPUS, all else being generally equal, and b) the numbering scheme AMD/Nvidia use seems to not correlate with performance, iow...

    Good Wireless USB Conference Mic?

    In our offices, we have morning huddles in a rather open, 20x20ft area. Some of our staff are remote, so they Skype/ooVoo into the huddle. A computer puts the remote users on-screen and runs the huddle. We have issues with finding the right microphone to pick up everyone who is speaking in the...

    EMail/Gravatar On Main Site

    Any way to reset the email address associated with my "alphadog" username on the main Anandtech site? I'd like it changed to alphadogg@<samedomain>. My comments aren't using the image currently associated with my username, probably because of a different email, and I see no way to email them...

    Clevo T5110?

    Has anyone seen this in the wild? Is it new? http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/products/prodinfo.asp?productid=287 The separate module with an NVidia chip in it seems right up my alley. Of course, the ability "to enhance the working efficient by numeric pad" is not to be ignored! :)

    Good Business Laptop

    Looking for a good business laptop with a good quality screen, in the 16" range. Would like to have the vertical resolution be above 900 pixels (too many 768 systems! ugh!), because of extensive use of web-based apps. Also, prefer to have windows 7 pro, although I guess I could upgrade from...

    Low Power 20-24" LCDs?

    I'm looking to have a workstation with three to four monitors in an office that has borderline cooling capability in summer. These LCDs would be for a developer, and I'd like to find units that have low power usage in normal mode (meaning fully on, without any attached USB or speakers working)...

    Drive Bay PSU w/24pin Connector?

    Lots of supplementary power sources to pick from that can fit in a 5.25" drive bay. But, none of the ones I've seen offer a 24p or 20+4p motherboard connector. A PSU like this would be great for small-format system builds Has anyone ever seen such a device?

    Naked PSU. Safe?

    I have a case with limited space. The clearance between the motherboard and PSU above it is 45mm. Can't seem to find a queit LGA775 heatsink that short. I was thinking of taking the guts out of the PSU and getting creative, but is it safe? Does the PSU circuitry have to stay inside its metal case?

    When I plug in an ASUS 3870X2 into my eVGA 680i SLI (122-CK-NF68-A1) motherboard, I get exactly three odd, japanenglish BIOS messages: "Warning: Have Option ROM Can Not Be Invoke (Vendor ID:10DEh, Device ID: 0373h) If I put in any other ATI (or NVidia) card, all seems well. So nothing's...

    Cooling CPU In BTX Dell GX620

    I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 (BTX format, as if being a Dell box didn't make it hard enough!) that I need to find an alternate way to cool from stock Dell heatsinks. Basically, I need to put an oversized video card in the PCIe slot, and this card overhangs into the Dell heatsink apparatus...
