Did some searching last night and found all the information about my windows license (which was purchased btw) so all set with that. After that, I was able to backup all my pictures/stuff to the cloud. So the backup is complete. It did take most of the night to complete. The question still...

It’s been 10 years so I really am relying on some bad memory as to the vintage of the license. I’m not trying to pull a fast one or anything, I have never done anything improper and more than willing to talk to Microsoft support about it. In fact I have in the past, it’s just not the speediest...

So I have 2 situations that I am unsure how to rectify. First, I was given some new hardware that is better than my current pc hardware as a upgrade. I have windows 10 pro on the current pc. I believe this copy of win10 came as a win7 upgrade and the win7 came from a school resource when I was...

I'm not worried about cost, just the application. Couldn't I use a DVI to HDMI converter? I'll explain in a little better detail. I have a specialized microscope that has a 17 inch screen. Its all built into its own nice little package, so that means you can't physically change things like...

Hi all. I'm looking for a large display, something in the 40-50inch range. It is for a specific application and as such needs to be able to be plugged into a DVI connector, either one that is dvi to dvi or I can go vga to dvi convertor if necessary. The key part is that it HAS to support 1920...

Well in case anyone is interested. I put the gts450 fpb in today. With my old card, playing rift at the lowest possible quality setting (low quality renderer), I was getting about 60 fps. Setting the game to the highest setting of "ultra" got me down to 1 fps. With the new card, I can run it...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, buying a new psu is out of the budget. I just happened to stumble on a decent deal for the vid card....about $100 after rebate. Interested in hearing thoughts of others as if I can get anway with this, even for a short while I think its good. I could...

I guess I should add that I am usure of whether the mulitple 12v rails are cumalative current-wise or seperate? From the video card pictures it appears that there is a harness with a small square 4 pin connector that connects to the card that goes down to 2 standard size 4 pin connector...

Sorry to bump an older thread but I have another question. I am looking to maybe pickup today a GTS450 nvidia card. Specifically this one here: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0347361 My question is it says a 400W power supply is needed and I have a 750W...

Honestly, probably any crappy nvidia card will be light years ahead of the one I have. That said, I haven't bought a ATI card yet, but I have friends and family that have had a few. From those, every single one has had a problem, be it hardware or software. I always end up swapping in my old...

Yes, I know it is dated. But its what I got to work with. Air cooled with a cooler master hyper 101 cpu cooler running dual fans. Intel E7200 LGA 775 CPU GA-P35-DS3L rev 2.0 motherboard 4gb of 800 mhz Adata gaming series ram running at 5-5-5-12 timings EVGA 7900 GTX video card CoolerMaster...

I never thought of a SSD. Access times are faster or something? ITs kinda what I was thinking with going with more memory..

Well I don't want to spend more than $100 on a video card. The power supply is a cooler master, 700W series of some sort if I recall correctly. I spent some time researching CPU's and I will probably stick with what I have for now and overclock it some. I couldn't find much in the LGA775...
