I know that the i3-12100 can support 4 displays, My concern is with the ASUS Prime B660-Plus D4 . Can it output to all 3 ports at the same time.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but i think I have read in the past that some motherboards with 3 outputs can only display to 2 of them at the...
I want to build a new computer with an i3-12100 and an ASUS Prime B660-Plus D4 motherboard. I am not a gamer and I have pretty basic needs. This motherboard has 3 display ports: HDMI, DP and D-Sub. Could I use these 3 ports with my 3 Dell U2412M monitors?
I have an i5-6500 with 16 GB of RAM, an HD 6670 GPU and a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB.
I do not play games. I only use it to surf the web and do some basic Word and Excel work. It should be more than enough for my needs and most of the time it is pretty fast.
However some web pages take a long time...
I know very little about network but I have done a fair bit of research about access points. I now think I know enough to try to set one up. However I still have a few basic questions that I would like to be answered.
Since the Access Pont has the same SSID and password as my main router, does...
From some old parts I had lying around I managed to build a spare PC. Win 10 installed fine but my ATI X1950 Pro is too old and is not supported by Win 10.
I will try to find a cheap used video card. Can you recommend a card that would be supported by Win 10?
I do not need a powerful card...
I need to build a new computer. I am not a gamer. I surf the web and do some simple and Word and Excel work. I have a 250 GB Samsung SSD but I need a new CPU + MB.
Would I waste my money if I bought an i5-6400 instead of an i3-6100?
For my use, would there be any advantage to getting 16...
I have a 128 GB OCZ Vertex 4. Is there an easy way to find if it is still in good shape?
I want to move to Win 10 and would like to make sure my almost 3 years old drive is still in good shape.
The problem was the brand new Linksys EA6200 router that my daughter had just bought for her condo.
I did the same test with my TrendNet TEW-639GR router that is about 5 years old and got 10+ Mbps with both RJ45 and wireless.
The Linksys is going back to the store.
I have a 10 Mbps internet plan.
When I connect my computer to my router with a cable, my Speedtest result is 10.45 Mbps. Which is fine.
When I use wireless, I get 6.45 Mbps. My router is rated at 300 Mbps and my wireless adapter is rated at 300 + 300 Mbps
Is it normal that I get such...
Would I see a significant difference in speed between a G3258 and a G3220 for a basic computer that will be used for: Mail, Internet, YouTube and Word? No games and no overclocking.
I know very little about network and I need to get a PCI Express x1 wireless adapter for a computer I am building for my daughter.
Her condo is about 35 - 40 feet long with 4 walls between her router and the room where the computer will be located. I need a wireless adapter that can work...
How about GPU performance? From what I understand, an i3 has a much better on board GPU. Am I right?
Should I rather get a G3258 and a separate video card?
My daughter has an old C2D computer that is pretty slow and she wants me to build her a new one. She has very basic needs: Mail, Internet, YouTube, Facebook and lots of Word documents. No games.
She does not want to spend needlessly but budget is flexible. She has a good PSU so I do not need...
My daughter uses her PC for Word, Internet, Facebook, Youtube and emails. NO gaming. She feels it is getting slower and wants me to upgrade it.
Her PC has the following specs: C2D E4300 (overclocked to 3 Ghz) - 4 GB Memory - 256 GB HD - Windows 7. I do not remember which video card she has...
My 120 mm fan is noisy and I would like to replace it. I do not need a fancy fan. Any inexpensive quiet fan will be enough. What would you suggest?
I have a basic system with a core i3 3225 and an HD 6670.
I have no experience with UEFI bios. I have ordered a Gigabyte B75M-D3H and I want to install Win 8.
I have read that the B75M-D3H UEFI is similar to the one used by most other Gigabyte boards.
Could you help me understand what are the boot options offered by UEFI?
What UEFI settings...
I have been using a Vertex 2 with my C2D for the last 2 years and I agree the difference is night and day.
I have a separate post in the storage forum where I ask whether I should move my Vertex 2 to my new build or get a new SSD. Would a new drive make a difference in speed or reliability?
I want to upgrade my computer from my old C2D. I am retired and I use my computer 2 - 4 hours a day to surf the web, read emails and do some simple Word and Excel work. My needs are pretty basic but I want a FAST machine.
Should I move my 2 years old Vertex 2 to my new machine or should I...

I am retired and I use my computer 2 - 4 hours a day to surf the web, read emails and do some simple Word and Excel work. My needs are pretty basic but I want a FAST machine.
Do you think an i3 would be fast enough? Would I see a speed difference with an i5?
2 years ago I bought an OCZ Vertex 2 drive that I installed in my C2D powered computer. It was my first SSD install and it took me quite a bit of time to get it up and running optimally.
I was unable to install Win 7 until I discovered I needed to download an Intel RST driver. I also I had to...
My daughter's motherboard does not have eSATA. How can I add eSATA?
Can I just buy an eSATA adapter bracket for a few dollars and plug it into a SATA connector on her motherboard?
I am not a gamer. I am a light user who only uses his computer to surf the web, read emails and do some light Word and Excel work.
I know that a 3570K is overkill however I plan on getting one because the HD Graphics 4000 seems to be pretty good and will allow me to avoid getting a separate...
I have booked an hotel in Honolulu that only offers wired high speed internet.
Could I bring my own router and connect it to their wired connection so that I could have WiFi in my room?
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am not very familiar with networks.
I want to get a 2 TB drive for backup purposes. I do not care about speed. I just want a large reliable drive.
Would a WD Caviar Green be a good choice? I can get the SATA 3 version for $119
The Linksys WRT54GL seems to be a router. That is not what I need. My router is fine. I do not need to replace it.
It is the wireless adapter card in my desktop that I need to replace.
I do not know much about network. Can the WRT54GL somehow replace an adapter card?
What is a wireless...

My router is a Linksys WRT54G router and my Wireless-G PCI Adapter is a...
My first SSD drive should arrive tomorrow.
I plan to make a complete backup of my existing HD and then take it off my computer.
What do I have to do before I do a clean install of Windows 7 on my new SSD?
Do I need to setup my IDE configuration to ACHI?
How can I find if I have the...
My board supports ACHI. Does that mean that I should be able to use a SSD drive without problem?
If I set my board to ACHI, will I continue to be able to use my existing SATA drive (WD Caviar Black) as a second drive?
Will I continue to be able to use my existing IDE DVD Burner?
