Oh good. That's good to know that I can just buy a new motherboard, plug the old boot drive in and it will boot up normally. I thought the boot drive would be tied to the specific MB and I'd have to reinstall a clean Windows 10 then restore from a system image. My system image was about a...
Hello-
I am having computer problems that will likely require me to replace my motherboard with the same make and model, but a physically different board. I was using one of those M2 Samsung drives as a boot drive, and had a second internal mechanical hard drive for storage. On the second...
Cool thanks. While I am motivated and having used everyone's time on this thread, I'm probably just going to upgrade anyway. It won't be long before they're playing Far Cry or Battlefield or something similar, so I'll at least give them a fighting chance with something a little more powerful...
Yes, was just stating what I saw stamped on the MB.
Thanks. I was looking at the originally mentioned graphics card only because I didn't realize the cards that you all are recommending now would fit in the slot. Now that I know the slot is compatible, i'll definitely look at the 260 or...
Thanks for the advice. No, I haven't tried playing anything on it yet. I just got the machine and wanted to upgrade it for my kid and give it to him as a surprise all set up with the upgraded video card and ready to go.
However, you probably just cost me another 100 bucks : ) I didn't even...
One more question as I think I must be messing up my terminology. I'm looking at the spec sheet you linked and a picture I took of my motherboard yesterday when I opened up the computer to see what was available inside.
One available slot has PCIE1X1 stamped directly on the motherboard right...
Thanks very much for the recommendations, but I am confused. Those boards are PCI Express 3.0 x 16, and I only have a PCIE16x1 slot available. Those 3.0 boards will fit my slot? Also, won't my slot bottleneck a PCI Express 3.0 graphics card?
Do you think those cards would fit in my...
No, I hadn't. Which ones would you recommend? I don't have a lot of room in the case (maybe 7" length max) and there are no rails off the PSU for additional power and I only have 300W to play with.
Acer Aspire T ATC-605-UB11
i5-4440 processor
8GB DDR3 RAM
LITEON 300W power supply
Intel HD Graphics 4600 (integrated on MB)
one available PCIE16X1 slot on motherboard
I received the computer above as a hand me down from some relatives which I would like to give to my kid for some gaming...
Thank you very much for that explanation and the description of the frequency bands. I think I'm leaning towards that G2 now instead of the Moto 4G.
EDIT: Bummer! That G2 in the link above is now $464 :( I guess I missed that deal!
That G2 is compelling and that's an excellent price for a brand new one- cheapest I've seen. Looks like an excellent deal. But I didn't think it was compatible with T-Mobile LTE? I thought I had read that somewhere, but I guess I was wrong.
**When you say no aws 3G, what does that mean...
All through cpacini.....thanks. I'll be researching all of these choices tonight. I think I'm leaning towards the Moto G with LTE though. It seems like a good price point considering the features.
We want to get smartphones for my middle-school aged kids for Christmas. I don't want to get them iPhones as I want them to learn a different OS besides Apple. I want to get them a quality phone, but not spend more than 300 bucks per phone (last year's model). It must work with T-Mobile...
All through jolancer.....
So the splitter arrived today, and I plugged it in to the soundcard. Then I plugged in the Logitech speaker jack and the headphones jack into each jack of the splitter on the other end. I played with it for a few minutes, and the best I can tell is that BOTH the...
Possibly so. I didn't exactly spend a ton of money on these speakers, either, so I'm not expecting much from them.......and they're getting old. I'm wondering if the headphone jack on the speaker controller just doesn't put out enough voltage(?) to power headphones like mine? Maybe it was...
Excellent. This is why I love forums like this. I would never have known a switch like that even existed. I just bought a Y splitter from Amazon, so I'm going to try that first. If it works, it will be a $5 solution. If not, I'll give that switch a try.
I would assume to hook that switch...
I just found the set I have on the Logitech website. I have Z-5300e Logitech speakers.
As far as headphone amps are concerned, the xtrememusic has a headphone amp? My speakers and headphones share the same jack. Doesn't the amp just work for whatever is plugged into the soundcard? I know...
I have them hooked up as a 5.1 system. Green to Front jack on soundcard (Line out 1), black to rear (line out 2), yellow to center/subwoofer (line out 3).
So I tried playing BF4 with the headphones plugged into the Logitech speaker jack.......the sound quality was terrible. It was very "tinny" and I had to blast the volume on the headphones and the controller for the speakers just to get it loud enough to be useable. Seems kind of weird that it...
Yes I just noticed they do. My Logitech 5.1 speaker system has a separate little hard wired remote with volume control on it and a few other buttons. But there is a headphone jack in it.
But if I plug into that, am I getting my good "soundcard processed" sound or am I going to get lesser...
I just purchased my first gaming headset, a Plantronics Gamecom Commander and I have a SoundBlaster X-Fi Extreme Music sound card for my PC. I have a Logitech THX 5.1 surround sound system normally plugged into the soundcard.
I plugged the headphones directly into my soundcard in the back of...
Thanks for all the help in this thread. Just installed a 280x today. I put everything on ULTRA in Battlefield 4 and it runs like butter. I still suck at the game, but the guys who constantly kill me in BF4 look a lot better :)
I was looking at the 290 series cards, but they're at least $100 more and from the performance charts I have googled, it doesn't seem like the small performance boost is worth the $100? Maybe that is an incorrect observation?
Not sure what you mean by running it at 47/55%?

So I'm looking at this card above at Amazon (280x) and in the comments for this 280x and another one, it says that "PCI express plugs" are needed. I'm assuming that's talking about those power supply cords that come off the PSU (mine is a...
OK, thanks. So the slots are compatible.
As far as the CPU, I don't know the "nickname" for the CPU, but on the box it says it is a Intel Core i7-950 processor with a 8MB cache. When I bought it, I was told it was a decent processor....but that was a while back.
So Battlefield 4 is...
Hello-
I have a Asus P6X58D-E motherboard currently with a Sapphire ATI HD5870 graphics card. I have a Dell W3008WFP monitor, 2560 x 1600 resolution.
I want to upgrade my single video card with another single video card, but the instruction manual in my Asus MB says that I have 3 PCI...
Thank you very much for your time Anonymous. If you see the above post, for some reason it just started working. If it does it again, I think I am just going to do a clean install of Windows 7 and be done with the hours of troubleshooting.......unless the clean reinstall doesn't work.
Thanks!
