    Adding a NIC for Teaming

    Hi everyone, I have a somewhat technical question which I don't think many people have experience with which to help me, but I'll ask it anyway as I have hope that someone has gone through this before. I currently am maxing out my gigabit ethernet connection (~96% utilization at 1Gbps)...

    Streaks on LCD?

    Hi everyone. I've been enjoying my Doublesight DS-263N for about a year now, but in the past few months I have noticed that streaks are appearing on the left side of my monitor for no apparent reason. The best thing I can compare the look to is of spilled coffee on a piece of paper, although...

    Reliability of ES Chips

    Hi everyone. I've searched the forums and have not yet found an answer to a question I have. I want to upgrade my dual Xeon workstation with better processors. I currently am running a Tyan S2696 motherboard with two Xeon 5130s (2.0/1333 Wolfdales). I mainly do video editing using Sony Vegas...

    HD3850 + PCIe 1.1 4X = Limited Performance?

    Hello everyone. I am looking for some advice with my system. Today, my colleague at work offered to sell me his stock-clocked ATI HD 3850 for a ridiculously low price. Right now I have an HD 3870 crossfire setup on a DFI X48-T3R, and if I did buy his card, I would have to put it in the 3rd...

    1 MHz CPU OC = No POST. Why?

    I have a Q9450 on a Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 and am looking for a solution to a problem that is baffling me. The system works fine at stock clocks with DDR3-1333 memory, but changing the CPU bus clock to anything other than 333MHz - even 334MHz - results in the board refusing to POST. The memory is...

    Broken P4 478 Pins - Fatal?

    Thanks for reading my plea. I need technical advice. I recently acquired a Pentium 4 Northwood 3.00GHz HT 800FSB Socket 478 processor with two broken pins. Before anyone asks, these are broken pins and not the keyed (intentionally missing) pins. Anyway, I have no motherboard to test this...

    $1700 for QX6700 at Newegg - Ridiculous

    Look at this - I didn't expect that Newegg would begin price gouging for a popular product. Yesterday it was $1499, today it's $1699. To think the MSRP is "only" $999, this is ridiculous. I know that opportunists sell PS3s for twice their MSRP, but I didn't expect a reputable site like Newegg...
