Not with two graphics cards (you can use the onboard graphics and a card). Only one graphics card slot: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A55ME/#specifications

If you ordered the disk version of a game, go ahead and install it with the disks in order to save yourself from doing a huge download (some games are over 30GB). If it is a game such as Battlefield 4, it will automatically be added to Origin when you enter your code during the disk install...

Seems fine. You contacted them and you didn't give them your password so I would say you are OK.

If you look at the clips of the y-adapter, there are little covers over the pins that you need to remove.

Both outlets are on the same circuit breaker. You need to determine what circuits control what outlets, and use one that is on a different breaker. Do you know how to check?

Sounds like your heater and PC are on the same circuit breaker. A lot of electric heaters can pull in 12-15 amps, and most household circuit breakers are 15 or 20 amps. If you have another outlet nearby that is on a different circuit, plug your heater in there and it should solve it. You can...

Search your motherboard documentation for XMP (Extreme Memory Profile). You need to enable XMP in the bios in order to get that speed (or you can also do it manually). If you can't find it reply here and I'll help you set it up.

You could use a photo editing program (Photoshop or Gimp for example) to crop out the images from the JPEGs and save them, then insert them again into your Word doc, discarding the tables from the OCR program.

The minimum requirement for that card is 600W so that doesn't give you room to spare, but it will work. Two months ago, I was using the exact same graphics card and PSU, with 16GB of ram, two sata drives, a ssd, and a sound card. I upgraded the psu because I needed it in my SteamBox, but it did...

What you need is OCR (Optical character recognition) software. It will convert pictures with text into text documents. The results will vary depending on how clear the pictures are. You would have to compare the pics with the document and fix any typos. I cannot recommend a particular program...

I recently bought an original MS Surface Pro (from MS Store) and I couldn't be happier with it. MS sold it for $500 a while back but it is no longer available at that price. It is $600 at Best Buy which is still a great deal in my opinion. Check out some reader comments on Ars for some techies...

I was confused by this at first too. What is happening is some answers aren't applied to any badges while others are applied to multiple badges. For example, a solution about a good PSU, mobo, video card combo can go towards earning a badge for each of those categories, with just one answer...
