Hello all,
My g/f has been playing games with me for awhile on my old Dell laptop with 8600mgt. Well it just started to die and I ended up upgrading my desktop with a Haswell Mini ITX system so she could use my old setup for gaming. Right now she's running
AMD X4 955 at 3.8GHZ
4GB DDR3 1600...
I built my dad a nice AMD setup with Sempron 140, 2GB ram, 500GB hard drive, with micro ATX board for about $250, all the parts came from newegg except for the case I had on hand. Which ironically is an old Compaq micro case. So lets say I put about $300 into the tower and $130 into the 19 inch...
Ok so I've asked around in search for some advice in pricing my prints. I've seen 8x10's in the store go for $10 and then I've seen some in galleries that sell for $150 or more. I want to come up with a formula so I can figure out what I should be charging.
Right now what I have is that an...
Howdy.
I just got little big planet last week, I'm looking for some friends that are good at the game for the bonuses and just to have fun. I've tried making friends with random people in the community but most of them seem to want to act dumb the entire time, Run into traps, or grab me in...

Here you can get ratings, reviews, and image quality of almost every blu ray movie that is out right now. My buddy turned me onto this site and from what I've seen it's accurate.
I have an interesting update, I plugged my 2TB drive into my dads amd system and ran HDtune again. Results are below and they look like a huge improvement. I don't know whats going on they're both AM3 boards and both by gigabyte. I found a chipset driver for my board on Gigabyte's support page...
Thanks maybe i'll just replace it, afterall I need the space. Without it I only have 80GB of free space and as a photographer I take at least 4GB worth of photos a week. I may try it in another computer before I send it back just to make sure it's not something with my board.
It's kind of odd cause I've never seen a drive with transfer speeds that dip that low. I found this HDtune bench of the same drive from someone else and it seems like this should be the kind of speeds I should be getting. Maybe I should send it in for replacement, SMART health status in HDtune...
Hey all
I just bought up a SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3EG 2TB 5400 RPM SATA drive for media streaming. It's installed on my desktop and I stream the media with my laptops wireless connection. The only problem is I get these 1-2 second lag spikes every 10 seconds in the video. The odd thing is that my...
i guess it's the cpu, memtest came back 16 passes and no errors and still having the same problem. Would I see better performance if I replaced it with a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ AM2 chip? I can get those for $30 and the board I bought doesn't support DDR3 ram anyhow. As I said my dad uses Adobe...
I had a feeling it might be the ram. Its a 2x 1GB kit of Kingston I bought used off ebay for $35 shipped. I didn't want to pay $60 for 2GB of ram, that's mostly what the prices were on newegg unless i wanted to go super ultra value ram.
To answer the first Q yes it only does this when I turn...
Hey all
I built my dad a new pc that he wants to use for photoshop and video encoding. The allure of the Sempron 140 for $32 was to much seeming it's possible to unlock the 2nd core on it. I went for it and I can successfully unlock the 2nd core and it's rock solid stable however there is some...
When the door is closed it does cut down on ventilation, but the front panel has ventilation slots on the sides so the door doesn't completely cut off the air flow. I imagine I'd see a degree here and there improvement with the door open but generally I keep it closed unless I need to open my...
