    TOPOWER 500PTX enough for 2 x 4850?

    Hi. I built my rig and now I want to move to crossfire. What an addiction. My question basically is if you think a 500watt Topower 500PTX can support a second 4850... The PSU does not have another PCI-E connector, but has a Y cable to convert two of the regular connectors into another PCI-E...

    Any way to VPN past hotel's router?

    No, I didnt ask. But thanks for your help. Its a error 800, by the way. There is probably no way by it, since I cant expect a hotel to open up a port for me :) I'll try what you said when I get a chance.... So if I'm within the hotel and I tryto telnet anywhere on 1723, and it doesnt...

    Help me find laptop for 2650x1600 resolution...

    Argh, my dad assigned me to find the perfect laptop for him. It has to be small, 11" screen would be insanely perfect, 12" not bad, but he'll go up to 15" if he has to. but it can't be over 5 pounds!!! The main battle is that it must have a video adapter capable of dual-dvi to power...

    Thanks to X360, work and school, I'm out of the 'game'

    ooooo. I'll spend about $1500, no monitor, speakers, case, mouse or keyboard. I like to overclock, but not an absurd amount. I know its kinda lame to ask you all to do the work for me, but I figure there are some people on here that are constantly reading about computers and have a lot...

    Thanks to X360, work and school, I'm out of the 'game'

    Ive been an obsessor or the Total War series, and I swore I would build a new computer for Medieval 2: Total War. School, work, and an X360 with a 56" HDTV have occupied my time... Well, I'm caving... But I don't know ANYTHING about whats "hot". The last time I was in the loop was right...

    How to change Dell XP key?

    Yup, this IS an option with Sysprep. It will load the image you made and run through a quick setup that will ask for you to enter the key you want to use. The catch is you have to activate, despite the original image being made from a Dell CD. This means calling for every single PC... Its...

    Map network drive in XP as a local drive?

    Because Windows Defrag is horrible compared to 3rd party defrag programs, including the one we use here... I guess my only option is logging in remotely and running our defrag tool. Better than nothing...

    Map network drive in XP as a local drive?

    Ok... Im trying to defragment some network drives among other tasks, and as always defragment programs only see local drives. (Some network high price programs can defrag a network drive, but it must have an agent installed on the network machine anyways) Is there anyway to by pass the need...

    Any way to disk defrag or reg cleaner on remote computer?

    No, its not to run on everyone's machine. I use Diskeeper to scan all computers and Diskeeper rates the person's disk drive on a percentage basis of how much it is affected by fragmentation... I want to remotely defragment just the ones that are highly impacted...

    Any way to disk defrag or reg cleaner on remote computer?

    In other words the program/script would have to run locally, but it would need to scan a network drive, whether that network drive be mapped to the local computer or simply be identified by its network computer name... Currently when you try to manage a network computer in active directory...

    XP - turn off wireless automatically when connected to Lan (?)

    The reason Im looking for this solution is because our WAPs get bogged down having everyone connected when 75% of them are LAN connected anyways. We'd rather their machine turns off wireless when it goes LAN connected. We can tell them to do it manually, but only 5% will actually do it...

    THE ALIEN INTERVIEW

    The video looks real.. And hasnt been disproved in 10 years now. It LOOKS real to me... But one thing I may NEVER get over is the fact that it is nearly impossible for another life to find Earth in the first place. Do I believe there is intelligent life out there? YES!! There HAS TO BE...

    Im not here to cause a fight, just a small friendly debate. I just find this video so fascinating because other than the absurdity of the idea, there really is nothing saying its fake. And everything seems 'real'. The un-fancy filming, the camera mounted instead of carried, the camera's...

    Steve Irwin "Croc Hunter" is dead

    I think its interesting that Steve's death will certainly end up as the story of the year. No amount of war or foiled terrorist plots or anything has seemed to captivate an entire world like Steve's death has. It goes to show that while the world is at a point in history that is defined by...
