    Nettalk don't even bother

    So I had Google talk hooked up with my Obitalk for a few years now and have enjoyed the flawless service. However in light of Google removing that XMPP protocal preventing it from working with devices like OBI, I decided to look for alternatives cheap VOIP solutions. Vonage was the defacto...

    Is there a device that lets you stream games from your rig to your big screen with audio? I know there are devices that let you mirror your PC but are they fast enough to keep with gaming? Anyone tried this?

    Adobe Photoshop and Elements GPU?

    ALready created a thread in the software section but thought I'd create another one here due to more foot traffic :) Does the GPU matter for a machine solely for Adobe Photoshop and Elements or can I get away with built in GPU of a 3770K or 4770K? Thanks!

    Decent ITX mobo

    Been out of the loop on SFF setups, what's a decent ITX board. This will be for my wife's machine. I still haven't bought the cpu so I am open to any chipset. The main purpose of this pc will be to edit pics and videos, so more then likely will go with a i7 3770 or the Haswell counter part...

    Been out of the loop on air coolers

    So got a request from a friend to build a gaming rig that is geared more towards silence than overclocking. So everything will be running mostly stock. The plan is to air cool the cpu and water cool the GPU's. With that said what's the best premium air cooler. Direct touch was the biggest...

    Radeon Pro: Key setting to combat microstuttering

    Can anyone tell me what key settings should I be looking at to minimize micro stuttering in Radeon Pro. Looking on the web it seems the Dynamic V-sync along with Double Sync seems to do the trick. I was hoping people wiser and more experienced than me could chime in on this.

    Impressed with FX-8350 and the new article at Anand

    http://anandtech.com/show/6934/choosing-a-gaming-cpu-single-multigpu-at-1440p Really impressed with how the FX-8350 performed in this article. From a cost and performance standpoint I think it would be really hard to not recommend AMD for a decent gaming rig.

    Is my PSU failing?

    Dam PC just shuts down and power back up for no reason. Running everything at stock. It's not like a BSOD or a regular restart where the fans etc are still running while the PC boots back up. The PC acts like when someone yanks the power plug from the PSU and then starts back up. Would be...

    FSP 1200W Gold Aurum or Antec HCP 1200 Pro

    Which one? They both are gold. I can get the FSP for $150 shipped no tax and Antec for $200 after tax. Or I should just save up for the Lepa 1600W and call it a day? Please don't ask me why I need this much power. I just do.

    Curious: 2X7990 or 2xTitan

    The AMD essentially would be Quad 7970's and of course power draw would favour the Titan. But in terms of user experience and eye candy to the max which would you prefer?

    Command Rate 1T vs 2T

    So been out of the loop on memory overclocking but back from the DDR1 days, memory that ran at a lower frequency but with a command rate of 1T was either on par or faster than ram that ran at a higher frequency but with a command rate of 2T. Has this changed with DDR3 or is it still the same.
