Need a wireless solution for a desktop pc

Hi! I recently setup a computer for a friend and due to limited budget I used one of my old usb wireless adapters. It worked great in my house, but for some reason at hers it doesn't work very well. I get full bars but the internet barely works at all. It is definitely not the router as I...

Motherboard audio front & back difference

Weird.. uninstalling the realtek drivers and rebooting without any drivers at all, (was trying to get creative to work and gave up) actually fixed the problem..apparently windows 7 did something without asking my permission, but it installed some drivers that sound good :O Still seems weird that...

Motherboard audio front & back difference

I have an asrock z68 pro 3 motherboard. I previously used the mini jack on the front panel of my corsair 500r. I spun too fast in my chair though one day and my headphones ripped the jack right out of the front panel, the headphone male plug was undamaged as I could tell. I disabled front panel...

Sound card or not

If you are using the back connectors straight out of the mobo with speakers, use a soundcard. If you use headphones,and using the frontal case supplied headphone jack, just use the onboard sound. If you are using headphones with the mobo connectors on the back, get a sound card :P Those sound...

Negative progress in monitor technology?

I have an old Acer 24inch p243w and it is only 1920x1200. Taking a look at some new screens makes me kinda scared of losing this one. I love it! The new ones seem very uncomfortable in my price range. Darkness at weird angles, not as sharp, and some of them seem like you can see pixels 0.o Its...

AMD 7000 Series Desktop Graphics Parts Delayed to Q2 or Q3 2012?

Not sure about the 590, but I think it was driver 196.75 that caused the heating problems in nvidia cards. Edit: Well now I feel silly. Didn't see PCboy's link =p

[OFFICIAL] Bulldozer Reviews Thread - AnandTech Review Posted

Wow, I'm glad I went with Sandybridge last week(My very first intel chip, always used AMD starting with Thunderbird, not counting the 486s and pentium 1, those were prebuilt), I was a little worried.. but kinda sad because a weak competitor is not good to push intel :(

Wheee! I just finished building my modified version of this build :D I am typing this on it now! (SSD IS INCREDIBLE! :D). I'm kind of paranoid on sound, temperature and powersupplies. Power supplies just scare me in general, so I went with the Seasonic instead of the HCG, I don't mind paying...

I just got the rest of the money I needed to finish ordering this build. One of the things I still need is the 2500k and the motherboard. I could order it right now, but would it be worthwhile to wait til next week? Will the price drop on the Intel chip with the release of that AMD CPU? Thanks :)

Worth installing 6950 in older machine if you have it? :P

Hi guys! I'm building Mfenn's build piece by piece as I get my paychecks. It will be about 2 weeks before I get all the parts in. So far I have the powersupply and the AMD HD6950 coming in tomorrow. I am wondering if it is worth putting the 6950 in my older machine while I wait. My current...
