    News Gaming Performance Tested On 'Worn Out' RTX 2080 Ti Mining Card

    I dunno guys. This is an awful lot like buying a used police cruiser. You know it's been abused hard and you have no idea how much life there is left in it. The card, like a retired police cruiser, would have to be at a real deep discount before I'm even tempted. Performance is not the only...

    [SOLVED] Do I have a bad card?

    I'm certainly no expert. But I do remember them raving about IPv6 years ago - and nothing ever coming of it. I remember the, "get it now before they shut IPv4 off completely" fearmongering way back when. Well, it's not causing any problems on a functional port. Emphasis on 'functional'...

    [SOLVED] Do I have a bad card?

    Amazon is more than happy to RMA the card. They're shipping a new card before I send them the old one. So it's kinda odd that they would sell fakes, considering their liberal return policy. If the replacement card behaves the same way, then I will just get my money back and buy something...

    [SOLVED] Do I have a bad card?

    I'm nearly sure I have a bad card, but I'm such a networking noob that I want to run it past an expert before I send the card back. I have an Asus Maximus VIII hero with an intel onboard ethernet (port 1). I'm running Windows 10 x64 home. I installed a ubit dual ethernet card...

    [SOLVED] Two ethernet connections not playing nice with each other.

    OK, here's what I did and here's what I have. I looked up the IPv4 addy and subnet, then manually entered it for the cable modem. So basically it's the same, but manual (I'm guessing that means "static") now. I left the gateway blank, just as you instructed. I didn't change IPv6 at all. It's...

    [SOLVED] Two ethernet connections not playing nice with each other.

    OK, here's where I get all retarded. Exactly how do I check for the same subnet, and exactly how do I fix it if they are the same? I'm afraid you're going to have to hold my hand here. Realize that once I fire up the second connection, my internet will die and I'll have to put everything back...

    [SOLVED] Two ethernet connections not playing nice with each other.

    I guess at this point, I should state my intent. What I want is to dedicate my comcast connection to my PC, and the DSL to the household. So, my PC does not really need to have DSL internet. However. I still want to be connected to the router because the rest of the household is connected to...

    [SOLVED] Two modems, one internet

    Yeah.... about all that yummy bandwidth. A $14 card and a 50ft cable is a lot cheaper than another router. But I'm open to convincing.

    [SOLVED] Two modems, one internet

    Hi, I have 2 internet connections - one is ATT DSL, and the other is comcast via my own Motorola modem. I also have a main computer, an entertainment computer (serves music and movies), and an assortment of computers, ipads, phones, laptops, etc.. Only the ATT router has wireless networking...

    Air purifier to get rid of dust

    Creating a perfectly dust free room is perhaps one of the hardest things to do. The act of opening a door and walking in tracks all kinds of particles in with you. Part of the problem is that air purifiers can only purify the air that goes through them. After particle removal, that air is...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X vs Intel Core i9-10980XE: High End Flagships Fight

    I'm starting to think there's a market for a chip that has decent multi thread performance, but has one specific processor with outstanding turbo boost... and a way to assign a demanding thread to that one processor. It's OK that all the processors only go up to 4GHz. But what some programs...
