I'm interested in setting up a NAS that I can use to rip my Blu-ray collection to and then stream the content to my HTPC via my home network and playback the content using a combination of My Movies and PowerDVD9 Ultra.
It seems the WD 8TB NAS...
I'm looking to build a gaming/HTPC hybrid machine. This will be hooked up in my living room to a 58" Panasonic plasma that I also use for gaming.
Ideally I'd like to use a Radeon 5870, although I would consider a 5850 if I can't get the 5870 to fit. The case I'm looking at is the...
I currently have a system with:
E8400 at about 3.2 GHz
EVGA 280GTX
EVGA 680i motherboard (not compatible with quad-core Wolfdale)
4GB OCZ Gold RAM
Windows Ultimate 32bit OEM
I'm thinking of upgrading to:
Core i7 920
Asus P6T Deluxe X58
Patriot Viper 6GB-12800 DDR3
Windows...
I've been looking carefully at the 9800GX2 and 8800GTX SLI benchmarks and for the most part they are pretty close. I therefore decided to add a second 8800GTX card to my rig and go SLI.
There are some pretty good deals on 8800GTX's right now, and I was able to get a eVGA 8800GTX for $350...
This isn't a problem, but I wasn't sure where else to post. I've also liked the format of the graphs used in the video and CPU reviews and was wondering what software is used to create them.
Thanks in advance.
I am going to upgrade to a new motherboard and a C2D E6600. I want to keep some of my legacy hardware for now.
I originally was going to go with the ASUS P5PE-VM, but it seems some people have had some problems with the E6600 and it running at underclocked speeds. Others seem to have it...
After looking at different options, I am going to replace my blown P4C800E-Deluxe motherboard with an ASUS P5PE-VM and a Core2Duo E6600.
I'm a little confused on the RAM for the board. There are only two slots, so to get 2GB I will need 2x1GB sticks. I have two brand new 2x512MB from...
Unfortunately it looks like I may have fried my ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe motherboard. I was popping in a couple of extra sticks of RAM (another matched pair of Mushkin's) and I'm pretty sure something was seated properly. When I went to boot the bios didn't load and there was a "burning smell". I...
I've been having some problems on my machine with some apps crashing, especially World of Warcraft. Ultimately Blizzard Tech support recommended running Microsofts Memory Test app: Link
I have 2 x 512MB sticks of Kingston Hyper-X. When I ran the test initially with the two sticks in place...
I've run into some trouble with my current setup. I have been having a lot of crashes while playing World of Warcraft. It's taking me a while, but it looks like I have a bad stick of RAM. I ran the Microsoft memory test and after a few hours, one of my two 512mb sticks of Kingston Hyper-X had...
I'm thinking about doing a clean install of Windows XP Pro (and then upgrading back to SP2). I'm slowing getting more and more minor issues with my system and I think it is time to start clean.
The question I have is that I have a RAID-0 set up. Can I avoid having to reconfigure the RAID...
I've been trying to fix my printer problem for sometime now and have been unsuccessful. Here is what is happening.
I have a desktop PC running Windows XP Pro that was previously working fine with my HP LaserJet 1200. I then bought a SMC Router with a USB print server. I tried get the...
Nvidia 6800 based cards are supposed to have the ability to significantly speed up video encoding and decoding by taking the load off the CPU. Early reviews of these cards said NVIDIA had not yet activated these features in the drivers.
I've been trying to find some update information on...
I recently purchased a Gainward 6800 GT Golden Sample to replace my 9800 Pro. I love the performance of the new card, but I'm finding it a little too loud, even with the dynamic fan adjustment.
I'd like to replace the heatsink with something quieter. I was considering a liquid cooling...
