    Home VPN Server Setup?

    Hey everyone, with all this spying and privacy and PRISM and all that other nonsense going on, I had been tossing around the idea of using a VPN. I have a weird case here. I want to use the VPN at home only (I don't need it anywhere else). I had been looking at creating an OpenVPN server on...

    Monitor standby issues

    Hey all, just got a replacement videocard that finally works from EVGA. It's a GTX 550 Ti, but I'm having some monitor issues. The problem I'm having is my monitor (a Dell 2209WA) takes forever to resume from standby/power save mode. Once it goes into power save mode, it can take anywhere...

    First, let me state that all of my past experiences with EVGA have been stellar, and have wholeheartedly recommended them to friends and family in a heartbeat. Now, to my RMA story. This is not a "bash" against EVGA, just putting it out there to make others aware of what can happen...

    Windows XP Pro OEM (Dell) Slipstreaming problems

    OK, I'm trying to reinstall XP on a computer (a Dell OptiPlex 170L) with the Dell Windows XP Pro disk that I got with the computer. Its a real XP Pro disk (not one of those POS "restore" thingamajobies), and includes SP1a. I wanted to slipstream the disk with SP2 as it would be "cleaner" and...

    Inspiron 9300 HDD Hidden Partition

    I am planning on upgrading my Inspiron 9300's HDD. I currently have a 40GB drive, which, for my needs just simply isn't enough (for school, namely programming). I want to upgrade to probably an 80GB drive, but there's one problem: the "restore disk" for XP is located on a hidden partition on...

    Inspiron 9300 Graphics Upgradability?

    I know that the XPS-Gen2 supports a "graphics upgrade program", but does that work with the i9300 also?

    Do XTreme-G's drivers work with Dell's GeForce Go6800?

    I have just ordered a Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook, with the following specs: Its a pretty damn good notebook for the price, and the only reason its over $1500 is because of the beefier warranty that I put on it (3 years). Anyway, what I'm asking is, I looked at XTreme-G's 76.44-HD drivers...

    What's NVIDIA's GeForce 6610 XL?

    I've seen in NVIDIA's card support list a mysterious GeForce 6610 XL. What the hell is this card? A Google search yielded virtually nothing, except that it is an OEM card. I'm looking for parts for a beater box, and just for the hell of it, would like to know what this card is, specifically...

    Difference between nForce3 250Gb and nForce3 Ultra?

    I've been wondering this for a while now, so I'll just ask. What's the REAL difference between the nForce3 250Gb and the nForce3 Ultra (besides one having "Ultra" at the end :P )? I have always thought that the Ultra was the 250Gb just in Socket 939 flavor, while the 250Gb was for Socket 754...

    What is the max safe speed for a 1GHz HTT link?

    I am in the process of overclocking my A64 3200+ to as high speeds as I can get it, just so I know, so when I get the urge to upgrade, I will be able to OC my system to breathe new life into it. Anyway, I'm currently running at 2.53GHz on the CPU, with a voltage of 1.45v for the CPU, 210MHz...

    A64 3200+ (939) Overclock

    I have OCed my A64 3200+ Winchester (Socket 939) on my K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo to 2.53GHz. Currently, in BIOS, I have the voltage set to 1.525v, but in CPU-Z or Sandra 2005, or Everest Home, the voltage comes up between 1.43-1.46v. Is this too low? Should I have a higher voltage, or am I fine...

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Overclocking (deals with the Memory)

    I am using an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo (rest of specs are in my sig), and I want to start experimenting with OCing. However, when I start upping the bus speed on my machine, at between 215-225MHz (it varies with each time I try), the system REFUSES to boot. After a reset or two, BIOS comes...

    After I bought my A64 system back in November, I installed all the games we play at our LAN parties (UT2K4, BF:V, HL2\CS:S, WC3). I never played anything except HL2 until about mid-January, until I finally tried to see what my performance was in some of the others (I still haven't fired up...

    NVIDIA G70 - What in the blue hell?...

    This has been bugging me since I first saw this G70. What in the hell? I saw that NV50 had been cancelled, but then NVIDIA said that it wasn't? This is all really confusing to me. I have searched and searched on the net, and all I could come up with was some rumored specs: 600MHz Core...

    I am thinking about doing the GF 6200 modded to a 6600\GT thing for an older machine, and my question(s) is as follows: 1.) First, is it even possible to do it with the AGP version, as I have read that it may not be, so if not, then let me know right off the bat. 2.) What card brand(s)...

    Cooling a hot headed 6800 GT...

    OK, I have my XFX 6800GT, and it came PRE-OVERCLOCKED (BIOS defaults and all) to 374\535. The card runs at about 57c idle and about 71c load (after HL2 and FarCry, etc). I am wondering what I can do to lower these temps, as they are a bit too high for me (although I have read that these are...
