    Conroe Rig ideas

    Thanks everyone! How much overclock (without causing heat issues if trying to keep a quiet system) can one get from an E6600? Savvy, I saw the $85 price here. Looks like it was $95. My bad.

    Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer V 4.0

    This is not really true anymore. The first versions of wireless mice from Microsoft had really big issues. The new v2 version is MUCH better and more precise...

    best wireless mouse?

    I know I'll be the dissenting opinion. But after having a MX900 (part of the DiNovo package I had) for 2 weeks, I decided to try the Microsoft Optical Desktop Pro v2 (I really wanted to keep my natural ergo keyboard). The v2 of the MS wireless mice are nice. VERY smooth and VERY responsive...

    Be aware of WD Raptors sold in USA

    Guys, I think NewEgg is VERY aware of it and is playing the stats that they won't get that many RMA's. They clearly state on their site that the drive has a 1 year warranty when the warranty from WD is supposed to be 5 years... This means they are most likely OEM pack and are likely gray...

    Logitech diNovo, Anyone got one?

    I'll try and address your questions by number... 1) I use Trillian and it does not work with it (as far as I know). Don't know if there are plans to make it work or not... 2) The MX900 mouse is basically the same mouse as the MX700, only via Bluetooth and not the standard radio frequency...

    Best Wireless Mouse & Keyboard?

    I'm not justifying a dang thing. I bought the keyboard/mouse combo I did because I had the money and wanted it. I liked the styling, What I WAS doing was calling Jpeyton out with a 40' claim. I've no doubt that those things can occassionally reach longer distances.. But it is NOT the norm...

    Best Wireless Mouse & Keyboard?

    Dude, I don't think that is possible. 40' is beyond bluetooth range and I guanrantee that is outside the spec of the regular wireless. According to Logitech's web page: "Q: What is the range can I expect from my cordless mouse or keyboard? A: In general, the range should be up to 6 ft., with...

    Best Wireless Mouse & Keyboard?

    No. The bluetooth desktop kit from Logitech includes the Bluetooth transciever. THat's part of the reason why it is so expensive. Online, you can get it for about $185.

    Poll: Do you use Mouseware with your Logitech Mouse?

    I've no problems with the Logitech software as of yet.... However, I have the Di Novo keyboard and MX900 that came with it and it uses the Setpoint 1.4 software. I assumed this is just a suite that encompasses both the mouse and keyboard but if you buy just the standalone MX900, you'll get...

    Copying hard drive question

    If you are trying to make an exact copy on to a larger new drive, I'd use Drive Image 7 from (formerly) PowerQuest. Another user mentioned Ghost, but I think DI7 is a little better. Symantec must think so too since they just bought PowerQuest...

    Best Wireless Mouse & Keyboard?

    Depends on what you mean by "best?" The best I've ever seen or used is the new Di Novo from Logitech. Just installed it yesterday and this thing works like a charm and screams quality! It comes with the MX900 mouse (the MX700 with a Bluetooth connection). Bluetooth is totally worth it. You...

    Anyone having problems with their Bluetooth mouse?

    Nah... Changed the batteries. Twice. Uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. Also tried a different powered USB port... All other USB devices are functioning normally. The little blue light on the transciever lights up (although this is not a true indicator of if the problem is in the...

    Anyone having problems with their Bluetooth mouse?

    Hey everyone! Bought the new Bluetooth mouse about a week ago and absolutely LOVED it... BUT, like all seemingly good things, it decided to stop working. I think the radio receiver/transmitter in the mouse died. I was just mousing along and the mouse stopped working. I thought it was a...

    Guys, Help me understand something... I use LCD monitors in my setup. The highest refresh rate an LCD can support (to my limited knowledge) is 60 Hz. Am I missing out by leaving my tube monitor behind or are LCD's generally rated or thought of differently? I keep seeing everyone being...

    Multi-monitor cards / utilities question

    Is anyone using HydraVision or nView on their adapters? If so can you answer a few basic questions? How do you use the program? Not how is it used, but what do you do with it in your daily use? What happens if you start a game in the primary monitor? Does the secondary shut down or go...

    HydraVision, nView and multiple monitors

    Hmm...I just figured you could program a "hot key" to automatically take you to the other screen. No? I use Trillian for my chat client, so I hope that wouldn't be a problem... Does the other monitor go dormant when you enter a game then?

    Hey everyone! Is anyone running multiple monitors and HydraVision or nView? I am wondering about the capabilities in respect to playing games.... I will be running a 17" LCD and a 20" LCD and both monitors can support a DVI or analog connection. The OS will be XP Pro. I'd like to connect...
