    Report: Haswell Refresh Prices and SKU List

    Seriously? The i5's are already almost out of my price range, and I want to do a custom build soon... This isn't good news for me. :/

    Custom build, contemplating which CPU to pick.

    Okay, so here's my dilemma. I don't have a whole lot of money to spend, and I am doing a new build. That's my first problem, but I'm going to keep going on past that lol. I'm looking at AMD due to my restricted budget. So my choice (assuming I went AMD), would be the FX-8320. If I go Intel, it...

    Wireless HDMI setup?

    What I'm looking for is an HDMI transmitter that I can have in my work's conference room. I want it to be able to transmit HDMI over it's own private band, i.e. not over wifi. The ideal goal would be to hang it up on a ceiling tile in the room, then have a cable running to the receiver in the...

    HP z620 Processor Swap

    UPDATE: Basically they won't tell me why it won't support it other than, "It's not designed to work that way." Boy are they in for a ripping.

    HP z620 Processor Swap

    Well I was thinking the same thing you guys suggested, but I hate to talk to them just because I don't know how they'll want to respond when I tell them I'm taking out their CPU. Oh well, nevertheless it needs done. When I hear from them I will update the thread.

    HP z620 Processor Swap

    Here's my dilemma. The processor that came with this machine is an Intel Xeon E-1620. I want to swap out the processor for an Intel i7-3820 to do some testing. I put the i7 into the socket, and all that came back was a series of beeps. Problem is, my boss did the swap and I have no clue what the...

    UPGRADE MY Gateway 6021GZ

    UPGRADE MY Gateway 6021GZ

    It would be in your best interest to upgrade. I can't imagine it's much fun to do anything on it. If that isn't possible for you monetarily, then maybe upgrade the CPU. What OS are you running? It could probably handle a stripped linux pretty well. Also, it's most likely that your CPU is...

    How to Activate GodMode in Windows 7

    Just checked, but it works in Windows 8 as well. Copying and saving the instructions, totally forgot about this 'til I googled it today!

    Windows8 vs Windows7 ...?

    I've been using Windows 8 at work, and currently I'm doing fine with it. There has been some performance boost even, and I love the new task manager. If you are afraid of using the new start menu (I avoid it like the plague), go ahead and download Classic Shell (putting link below). Here's the...

    CompTIA A+ Testing Materials?

    What would be the best overall testing materials I could get for the CompTIA A+ exam for around $50? Personal opinions of what I should get based on experience would be appreciated. Also, looking at the Net+ and what its testing materials would cost. Thanks!
