    Want Win10 OEM ASAP for new build

    Ya, that's why I need this machine so bad, and I'm not talking about a time machine; my current system lags so much that when I click on the clock at the lower left of my screen, it tells me that it is June 29th 2014. **** MS sells copies digitally through their store. **** :D That sounds...

    Want Win10 OEM ASAP for new build

    New Egg, I believe, went from listing the release date as 7-29 to now listing it as 7-31. This makes me think that it may get pushed back or that there will not be enough inventory for me to get a copy right away. I was hoping to avoid upgrading to Win10; due to, what I think might be...

    No Post Beeps, used Q6600 computer.

    I got a gigabyte ga s3g p35 motherboard. Now, with the memory out, I get constant short beeps. With the memory in I get no beeps. No matter the slot of memory tried and no matter the(2gb) memory stick I use. What does this point to? Thanks :)

    Any IPS with Matte screen; not Anti-Glare and not Glossy ?

    Throckmorton knows what I was worried about. That anti-glare coating that some call matte, is not the kind of matte that I'm looking for. I have older TN panels that are matte and, I am thinking that, they do not have a coating and they certainly do not have a hard glass covering. It...

    It needs to be Under $400. Looking for 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 or 1600x1200 or 1600x1050. Probably >= 23" if less than 1200 resolution. Otherwise >= 20". I need a screen that is just plain matte. Not Anti-Glare or Glossy. Thanks.

    Very few modules are approved by the MB manufacturer. Can I stray?

    I am using the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard. It likes 1.5V memory. The only memory approved so far that is both DDR3 1600 and 8GB per DIMM is Part #CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10. But, it comes in a kit of 32GB and maybe I only want 16GB. Also, I'm not happy that it is Cas Latency 10. I...

    2 SSD's - 1 for OS & 1 for Programs ?

    Thanks for those benchmarks bryanW1995. Since I don't have benchmarks on how much faster it would be if the 2 disks were used separately, I'm going to be power-user enough to set them up in Raid 0 for now. Thanks to all the thoughts and insights from everyone.

    27"+ for web pages. What resolution is best ?

    I would like to get a 27" or larger monitor for viewing web pages. I want it to be a low to mid-range price. Usually, I'm guessing, 1 page will fill up the whole screen. So, what resolution of monitor would be best for this? Any thing else I should consider? Thanks.

    2 SSD's - 1 for OS & 1 for Programs ?

    I'm building a new system using 2 - 264Gb SSD's. (Not yet purchased.) Would the 2 SSD's be better used separately so that both disks can work on separate tasks at the same time or as a RAID 0. Also, I'm not a tweaker or a power user, so, if Trim is unavailable for RAID 0 should I steer...

    Will these $700 systems open 30 web pages at once, just as fast as a $2000 system? Would a Quad CPU have any advantage compared to a Dual CPU for this task? Would it matter if the SSD were Sata 3 or Sata 2 ? What about 4 GB of memory as opposed to 8 GB ? Thank you!

    Charter provides Firewall? Leave router's firewall off?

    I am using a Belkin N+ Wireless Router. Charter, the company that provides the broadband, told me that I shouldn't turn on the router's firewall because it would be redundant and just slow things down. Does this seem right? :)

    Appreciate all the help. The intervals will either be every 15 seconds or times of file change; perhaps between 10 seconds and 30 minutes. I'm thinking that this would be best in a window that constantly ran. However, I envision that I could repeatedly call a batch file to run a script if...
