    Audio Streaming over LAN

    I know this is a bit of a longshot, but I am stuck pretty bad at the moment. Anyone know if there is a way to configure a streaming audio client that would run alongside VNC? I can't use rdp, due to the clients desired setup. I've been looking into stream audio, however, everything I...

    Floppy emulator for server 2k3 install

    Anyone know if a floppy to usb drive emulator exists that would allow me to install these dell raid drivers for the installation? I have a mail server that crashed yesterday, and want to attempt to repair the install before I resort to other options.

    First time with crossfire, quick question

    I just got my second 5770 last night, finally got it into the box. Fired up battlefield 3 and didn't seem any different than my single 5770. Not sure if the game just doesn't support xfire yet, or is my config screwed up somehow. #1 has all those options, #2 and #3 have the same exact...

    i5 750 overclocking question

    Well.. I've reached 3.8ghz on air at 1.15V, stable on prime95 for 8 hours. Hit max temps of 67, 65, 61, 61. I'm wondering if I should push past the 4ghz barrier or is there a point of diminishing returns on the OC? I don't really want to up the volts and temps much if the gains are going to...

    Overclocking the 5770.

    I just got my new rig in the mail thanks to ups taking 2 weeks for 3 day service. Now that I'm up and running I'm just playing around and found out that my video card runs at 52C when fully overclocked in CCC 960/1445 40% fan speed. My question is should I go further, and if so, what...

    Trying to make a small device

    I'm trying to invent something for my thesis in applied physics for my undergraduate degree. I've had some experience in digital and analog electronics. However, my most advanced projects to date are an automatic door and a simple processor with a single 8-bit bus. I've only encountered...

    Next gen intel chips

    I'm kind of curious about next revision of the intel processors. I'm very confused though. Doing research into it, it looks like intel is going with two different sockets, lga1160 and lga1366. From my understanding the lga1160 will not have a north chipset, while the 1366 will be...

    Upgrade my video card or just save towards a new rig?

    Here's the deal. Going to be extremely busy over the next year. However, I do like to play games once in a while and my box is getting a little out of date now. I have a pentium d805 @ 3.8ghz on air, 2 gigs of ddr2-800, 480gig hdd (2x160 raid 0, 320 storage), and an x1900xt @ 702/783...

    Dealership is pulling one over on me..

    I have a 99 passat, and I bought my car over to the dealership to get it checked out. The wheel was shaking in the front wheel as I was driving. Get it there, they fix the upper links and tie rods on the front two wheels. $1500 and one day later, I get it back. 100 miles of driving, it...

    BSOD, crashing, and lots of hair pulling

    Ok.. so here's the deal. I've had my rig for a while now. My memory sucks (it's 4am and stuck in a maclab doing a project, and now I have nothing to do but sleeping is pointless, need to be up in 3 hours) My rig is a pentium d805 running at 3.8ghz, 2gb ddr2-800, x1900xt, 320gig seagate...

    Should I disable my swap file?

    Need some Flash 8 help

    I'm stuck right now with loading other flash pages. I defined the height as 800 and width as 600. However, whenever I use the actionscript: on (release) { getURL("Advanced.swf", "_parent"); } It will load the other .swf in the same window but, it is no longer 800x600. It maximizes...

    Physics Cards

    I was curious if anyone actually had an explanation as to why the physics cards can hinder performance. Are they maxing out the pci bus and just slowing down the computer, or is it more of they're being maxed out and can't calculate any faster?

    Question about FedEx

    Is there any way I can go to one of the fedex places and pick up a package that is going to be sitting there all weekend? I really don't feel like waiting all weekend to put my new rig together.

    Just got an 805

    Well my old computer just s*** the bed a few days back, and I had to get a new rig. I have a conroe ready system with the 805. I can't justify spending more than the cost of the chip itself for the 805 since I will be migrating to the conroe shortly. I'm just curious as to how far I can...

    What kind of memory is best for conroe?

    I'm looking at buying a rig for a conroe sometime this week. I have everything pretty much figured out, but I found some nice ddr2 800 for a good price. It's cas 5 though, and I see some really expensive cas 4 sticks. Will there be much of a difference in performance between the two?

    Linux Gaming

    I'm looking to completely dump XP as my secondary OS. I have fc5 now, and I was wondering how good the Cedega software actually works. I play a lot of C&C generals, CS ,CS:S , and every once in a while I'll load up Oblivion. I know they give the games ratings and so on, but I would like to...

    How many USB ports have you managed to kill?

    This is kind of random, but I've realized that I have so many USB ports that have died over the years. I'm at 7 on my current computer. I have terrible luck. I'm wondering where everyone else is at.

    Conroe ready motherboards

    I'm looking into buying the rig early, and was wondering what/if any motherboards are available. I'm looking into SLI as an option, but I'm primarily after a stable motherboard with onboard raid and decent overclockability.

    Question about dual display

    I just tossed on an extra old crt for my research work, and I realised how much this rules. So now it's a week later and I'm completely infatuated with the idea of having two monitors. I just have one question about this, is there anyway to make it so the secondary monitor can display windows...

    Intel superior in the future of gaming?

    I'm just curious if the newer engines that are using multi-threading will push the pentium chips up on top in terms of performance? Intel will be running 4 virtual cpu's each being able to handle a different thread while AMD will be stuck with 2. The tradeoff is that AMD can run each...

    Problems with cooling

    There is probably a really simple solution to this, but I'm oblivious to the answer. My ti-4600 has a thermaltake cooler I put on it, and it had new heatsyncs for the memory. Problem is two of them hang downward and they're heavy enough to keep pulling them off the card and then the memory...

    Quick question about battery life.

    Quick question for everyone who's had lots of experience with laptops. I'm mainly looking for a machine to do some programming on it. This machine is going to be used only for the research team I'm working with this summer. I'm permitted to work from home 3 days a week, and I plan on spending...

    I work at Staples and found these today hidden in the back. I picked up 10 of them. They are 20 packs ofs maxell dvd-+r and they are large jewel cases. The max write speed is 4x, but for $3.50 per 20 it's worth it.

    Having problems with the Mx1000

    Recently I've noticed my mouse is a little jumpy in windows when I move it very slowly. It tends to jump like 2-4 pixels in the opposite direction I want it to move in. It moves, but it just jumps back once in a while. It's not a huge problem, but for the $$$ I put down for this thing, I...
