RDRAM

As the title above describes I've run into this little anomaly and I'm trying to figure out why it even works in the slightest bit. I found out the "hard way" after buying another GPU that a second card is not actually utilized unless you have crossfire(AMD) or SLI(intel) capabilities. No...

2 Kingston HyperX SSD's & 2 2.5 WD Black HDD's in Raid10 With SSD's as primary & WD as mirror as it's transparent. How can I do this without it automatically selecting. Or can I raid0 both sets and mirror one to the other set?

First off here's my build CPU: i7 4770k (Stock 3.6Ghz) with Hyper 212 60C fullload. Motherboard: MSI z87 G41 (not particularly high quality but is decent) PSU Corsair TX650 650W Graphics XFX Double D R9 280X (65C~ in game) Now my problem is, when I...

I have around 40-50 dollars to spend on a decent cpu heatsink. does anybody have any suggestions? I have an AMD 6000+. Core 0 idles at 50C while Core 1 Idles at 45C. Im guessing that those temps might be on the warm side. Ive re-applied arctic silver 5 and checked for lint. My guess is...

not really sure wehre to post this.. but I figured that the mobo place was the best... I'm looking to get a PSU and case for a new comp.. wanted to get a 480 watt for possible use of the gf 6800. What would you recommend as a good PSU/case setup?? Looking for (in this order) reliability...

I found this promising, cheap mobo and wonder .. Can this chipset keep *somewhat* up with intels 845 ? Can it run stable ? Is it a good idea to buy 2 memory sticks i/o of one for dual channel, or will this create problems ?

My current setup is core 2 duo E8400 2 8800gt sli striker ii 780i chipset 4 gb corsair When i first set up the computer it ran like a dream for at least 5 or 6 months. Shortly there after when i went to power up the system i got the 1 long 3 short beeps and vga bios error on the lcd poster...

I just bought an ASUS A7V333 VIA KT333 w/ DDR333 motherboard and also an Evercase Midtower.....My problem is, since the mobo is placed on the side panel of the case, the three audio jacks are horizontal, where as the slots on the back of the case are vertical....Is there a way to fix this so...

Does the Athlon xp2100 processor have a thorobred or palmino core or are there two different verisons using each of the following cores? Building pc with asus a7n8x board and planning on overclocking it.

I have an asus a7v133 and a Hercules Geforce 2 gts 64 mb card and when I try to play any game it will load the menu but once it tries to actually load the game it locks up. The video card has its own irq at 11 and was in my old machine and worked fine but in my new system (see specs below)...

So i am looking to upgrade parts of this gateway to make it last longer. At the moment my budget is 300 so i figure i should stick in another Geforce GTX 560 Ti, and maybe change the PSU (not sure if it is needed however there is no info on the actual unit except that it is 750 watt). The pc...

I just received my order from HP for a HP Pavilion dv6z laptop. When I was ordering, I chose this option for the CPU: AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M (3.0GHz/2.1GHz, 4MB L2 Cache) However, when I look in system properties I see: Why does it show only 1.9GHz? Did HP give me the wrong CPU? Why does...

Here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jQLk I think 850W might be overkill, how low should I go on this build?

Hi, So last night my PC started randomly restarting its self. It started to happen once every 10 - 20 mins and then every 10 mins. I turned it off for the night and left it. Coming back to it this morning I booted it up, it turned on fine however nothing is coming up on the monitor and the...

Hi all :o I have had my Acer AL2423W 24" flatscreen for about a year and a half now, and I love it. However, it recently started doing the following whenever I turn it on, or whenever it comes out of its hibernation/standby mode: First, it shows these vertical lines for about 20-30 seconds...

I went to a big box store last night and looked at a $900 LCD TV to hook up to my PC, it was 32' (full hd 1080) and had 120hz processor. (Newegg has it for 699) Someone drop some knowledge on me why it would be superior to a 27' Viewsonic 1 MS monitor with a 100000:1 contrast ratio, that sets...

I'm having a terrible time selecting a new monitor. I want a 22 or 23 inch, I do alot of photo editing (being in my 70's, my eyes aren't what they used to be, either). Other than the photo work, it's just the internet, word processing, some spreadsheet work...for me, mostly kind of tiring on...

Hey guys, Ive just about had it with my old crt monitor and have to save room so i can place my pc actually on the table instead of on the floor. I was going to wait until I bought my new gaming rig but what the hell lol. So I have to buy from an actual store and not a website due to return...

I have a working monitor right now but it's starting to get a little old and is developing a little line that runs down it. I don't know much of anything about LCD's but I try to keep my eyes open for deals on them. I've come across two good deals. Do you guys think you could compare these two...

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?) I'm considering getting the Officejet 6210. Is it any good? Given that it's HP, I thought it would be better than most others. It comes with 6 seperate ink tanks. I'd appreciate any feedback/reviews. Thanks. Omar

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?) I have an Epson Stylus Color 600 which worked well until last weekend. When powered up now the "ink out" light is on and never goes off although the cartridge is full. Does anyone have an idea about overriding or repairing the "black...

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?) I have a Canon Pixma i5000 printer and think the trimming function of the Canon Easy Photo Print software is very nice. However the program only recognizes a very limited selection of paper sizes such as A4, 4x6 and 5x7. I would like to...

I am going to have to admit I am stupid, lazy, and cheap about printers. Here's the story: 1. I need a small mono laser printer that gives decent looking output (600 dpi or better) Almost no images, mostly letters and stuff like that, biggest image might be a less than 1 square inch logo. 2...
