    Another Quick 5 Minute Survey for UX Class: Help appreciated!

    Hi all, As part of my user experience class, we're doing a new study that's completely unrelated to tech. (Thanks for everyone who helped out with my last one!) This should take no more than 5 minutes and is completely anonymous. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/homefix Thanks!!

    EVGA Mobo FF Message, No boot!

    I'm having a bit of trouble getting my new rig working... The EVGA x58 Mobo shows "FF" which I assume means that everything should be working. However, when I boot, there is no video display, and neither my keyboard nor mouse lights up. I've tried reseating the RAM, gfx card, clearing...

    Do 30 inch monitors REQUIRE dual-link DVI?

    I have the NEC 3090WQXi. Will it work on only one DVI cable input on resolutions that are not native? I know I need dual-link to get the full resolution, but should I be seeing anything on the screen if I only have one DVI input plugged in?

    Why is DDR1 low-latency RAM still so expensive?

    Could someone please enlighten me to how my RAM is now the most expensive part of my system? I have a DFI Ultra-D with an Opteron 165 and 2GB G.Skill PC4000 2-3-2-5 RAM for overclocking. What is the motivation to spend $100 on RAM, rather than just spending more on the processor for Core 2...

    Video Issues with Viewsonic VX2025wm and MSI X1800XT

    Okay, I honestly have no idea what's wrong with this, but I'll describe my issue in detail. First, the Viewsonic monitor has been causing me quite a bit of grief. The DVI cable refused to work with the X850XT (some weird green pixels blinking everywhere) but worked fine as VGA. However...
