    Question KVM USB keyboard/mouse disconnect issue

    @COLGeek so I got a Display Port to HDMI active adapter. 4K@60hz If I connect it to the Display Port on the B550M I only get 1920x1080 (through KVM or direct to monitor). If I connect the adapter to my Dell system (mini-DP->DP adapter, then the above adapter, I get 4K@60hz). MSI...

    Question KVM USB keyboard/mouse disconnect issue

    I didn't realize the new MSI motherboard had a full size DP output as well as HDMI. I can buy an DP->HDMI adapter and see it if changes the behavior. I can't borrow the adapter from the Dell as that is a dedicated mini-DP to HDMI cable. The monitor has DP input (plus 2 HDMI) so...

    Question KVM USB keyboard/mouse disconnect issue

    So I bought the TESmart. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08124CPLM It doesn't have the USB disconnect issue that the GREATHTEK had. All was great initially. I was using it with: Port 1. old PCI motherboard with Radeon HD5450, hdmi output 1080p (max for the card) Port 2. Dell...

    I'm unsure what this has to do with the question I asked :) I'm asking for a mobo+cpu recommendation; 3 possible choices, 2 budget and 1 higher end.

    Build Advice Generally happy with my current (old) system but I just got a new 4K monitor and ....

    I have mostly (recent) Linux systems. I have one (old) Windows system (ASRock 770iCafe; AMD Phenom II X4 945 3GHz; 8GB of RAM; Radeon HD 5450 and SSD). I'm generally happy with the performance of the Windows system for my usage. I don't play games. Most of what I do is IO bound so the SSD...

    Question Mobile Pentium 4 HT; can it be sub'd for a Pentium 4 HT?

    Thanks! I'm using the motherboard to hold some old ISA development cards (dual i860 being one). Very little documentation on the card, so I figured I'd go for a safe bet which I believe the Socket 478 boards is. Three ISA slots is nice. Maybe there is a better option but I'd have to find...

    Question KVM USB keyboard/mouse disconnect issue

    Thanks I'd seen this brand when reviewing but I bought the GREATHTEK as it had a slightly better average review rating lol. I think https://a.co/d/2ao3sNP is the 4 port HDMI version. It mentions "Support keyboard and mouse pass through mode to improve mouse and keyboard compatibility" which...

    Question Mobile Pentium 4 HT; can it be sub'd for a Pentium 4 HT?

    I picked up an old G4V620-B1 motherboard in order to support an ISA card I have. It came with a 2Ghz Celeron installed. I'd prefer to install a P4 HT. According to the manual the following CPUs are supported: * Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology 533MHz system data...
