As far as I know that DRAM is the widely using RAM for PCs and workstations. And Static RAM is typically used for cache memory, which can be accessed more quickly than DRAM. But still I can't understand the which is better and why. Can someone briefly explain me what are DRAM and SRAM and which...

Afternoon folks! Aside from my early gaming days and using VooDoo graphics cards (nostalgia, anyone?), I've ran nVidia under the hood. That is until the beginning of 2014 when I picked up two Radeon R9 290x's in Crossfire. The cards are just as fast, if not faster in some cases, than a 780ti...

Hi all. To get right down to business, basically, I can't maintain a decent internet connection on my gaming desktop without it dropping every so often or sometimes just slowing to a snail's pace. Sometimes it will also do things like refuse to load images, etc. My thing is that I believe it...

I posted a while ago about replacing a failing LGA1155 motherboard. It was suggested to actually get a Haswell refresh CPU and Z97 motherboard. At the time this seemed like a tempting idea but after looking up prices it was way out of my budget. After starting full time college, I completely...

I recently acquired a Sony VGX-XL2A media computer from a friend. He says it works fine, and that windows XP had been reinstalled, but it doesn't seem to output anything from the HDMI port (No bios, no nothing. The TV can detect no input). You can hear and see the fans and hard drive working...

I had installed a Kingston 2GB module (KVR1333D3N9/2G) in my Intel DH55TC and running Windows 8. I needed more memory, so I bought 2 additional modules of 4GB each one (KHX1333C9D3B1/4G). All the specs apparently match (Non-ECC, CL9, etc) and the BIOS correctly recognize them. But when I try...

This is from a laptop given by our government for poor students.. The OS is windows 7 ultimate 32-bit.. They had some kind of files installed in that 97.65 GB partition so that the partition doesn't appear in the explorer but the files in that partition can be used when accessed through Start...

Hello, I've been sleeving my cables with Paracord and have come to a stop because the 24 pin MOBO connector pins simply refuse to come out. I've successfully sleeved my CPU, GPU and SATA power cables with no problem so I think my technique is correct. I don't want to pull the wires too hard for...

Hello all, I have a quick question. I have a computer that is unable to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. My router is in one room, far at the other end of the house away from my PC. My question is can I buy a wireless router of some sort to adapt to my current router that would allow me to...

For a long time I have been trying to figure out why my computer quits to the desktop and then back to the game constantly, while playing games. Today I had the grand idea of polling the GPU temp. According to MSI Afterburner, it hit 108 C, as it's max, and hovered around 105 C while playing...

So for almost 8 months now I've had to use Process Lasso to set my default CPU Affinity to Cores 1-4 and 7-8 (basically just skipping the 3rd physical core on my CPU). Any program I run on the 3rd core fails to run at all or crashes or has some strange glitches. When I run a Prime95 test with...
