OK , so if you know the make/model of laptop i can tell you what type of connection you need to connect it to a modern flat-screen tv , you will either need a HDMI to HDMI , or a VGA to HDMI depending on the laptop you are using OR ... you can take the hard disk out of the machine and...

I'd ask you what you use your machines for any specific applications , Is it just browsing the Net ? Do you have an operating system preference , Windows ? Linux ? For a while for all my non gaming general use browsing / Media consumption i have been using this type of device...

Mr first thought would be to swap the Asus GTX770 2GB for a 970 4gb if you can afford the extra 40 euro that it will cost , the Perfomance is a big step.

As Paul stated you will see no real speed increase by having two small disks from a single platter separated by a logical partition . The disk only has one spindle and one read -write arm it will perform the same regardless of how you carve the disk up. I would not worry too much about this ...

Did you mean , is there a need to OC , for WoW , or to run WoW well ? One doesn't really overclock software , they overclock the platform that its running the software ( IE your hardware , ) For Wow you will be fine with an i5 4690 , if you are running at 1080p like most people . If you...

I enjoy using my wired usb 360 pad on emulator games , it actually does a pretty good job emulating the n64 pad with the button map , and even the dogey z targeting with the left trigger works ok for me plus the driver is supported right out of the box for wired devices :-)

A Mac book will run those things if you install windows on it ... but then it kind of ceases being a mac its just the same as any expensive laptop with a premium price tag There are some projects to let games run native on the OSX environment as well as some games that have been ported...

Yes you will be able to stick a GTX770 in the machine , bear in mind it will disable the current intergrated / On die graphics solution that is part of that AMD APU , but will not affect the CPU' core's ability to compute . You will also need to swap power-supply as that 300 watt PSU will...

Actually this I3- 4210 U supports hyper threading so that's not quite right . the I5 is a better chip for one and pretty much only one reason the CPU can turbo . the stock speed of the i3 and the i5 you have linked are both at 1.7 GhZ but the I5 can on request be forced to run at 2.7...

Yes ... the limit also includes Vram , or it used to when i last used a 32 bit OS ... which was back in the XP era , sorry Rdg any device that has memory eats into this address space and limits what is visible to a single application . The memory limits for 32 bit are total available...

sorry , I forgot to copy the link on , its in there now as an edit . That would work , there are also some fantasic new genre's on the pc which you now get to try , Moba's RTS , CCG , Sim's in my opinion its a bigger richer market But ofc im bias :P

honestly , your talking about two completely different mediums , Even if you are playing the same game the control style and aim assist that goes in the background of a console shooter for example make the actual skill of playing the game different on each device . I am a fairly decent PC...

I've stripped down a few USB hard drives in my time they are usually ok for data recovery , I'd strip it down and remove the disk and then connect it up to either a windows box if its not too corrupt or a recovery linux boot You should be find a service manual here...

honestly ... not very much , to get the kind of computing power you have there , with no case no psu and no disks / Os you are probably looking at around 140 - 160 UKGBP unless you were able to find someone who specifically needed a 4 generation old CPU and main-board. the most...

Yeah , this is because you are using mixed sized disk's in an array essentially you will be limited to 2 X 500 gig , the array controller will be treating the bigger platter as a 500g disk and ignoring the extra bit . So your capactity will be around a TB of fast usable storage which is what...
