How does the NEC 2490WUXi stack up today?

Thanks for the reply. I guess that even though deep blacks are important, I don't think I'll be able to go back to CRT. I have a Dell U2711 IPS panel here and I guess I've grown accustomed to the blacks on it because they don't bother me. I also don't want to give up the desktop real estate...

How does the NEC 2490WUXi stack up today?

A few years back when I was looking into monitors for my first multi-monitor setup, the NEC2490WUXi was a beast, with a big price tag. At $2000 after taxes here in Canada, it was out of my range. I have a chance to buy one now, but I'm not sure if this is a situation where the panel in this...

Where's my native WIN7 zip utility?

Yes, I figured that was BS. Problem is, their line is this "Install the program using the WIN7 zip utility or else we're not going to support you'. Actually I think I can get around that if I yell long enough but who wants to go through it. How would they even know what I used? I've used...

Where's my native WIN7 zip utility?

I use a music notation software called Finale. It's a huge download because of all the sound files associated with it. It's 1.5 GB. I'm having some stability issue with the program. The dev told me to reinstall, but didn't like the fact that I was using a third party program to handle zipped...

Migrating contents of system drive (including WIN 7)

Absolutely, a great experience. I powered the rig down and installed the RAM and it showed up with no problem. Unfortunately, it seems that this mobo does not have an extra slot for the other video card. I now recall what happened - I have a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3P...

Migrating contents of system drive (including WIN 7)

Travelling? Actually, the deal was for me to drop the rig off at his shop. I assume that's normally the way it works? I just finished the process. Cloned the drive, removed the old system drive, had to play around in the BIOS for a few minutes before I figured out how to set the boot order, and...

Migrating contents of system drive (including WIN 7)

Got it, thanks. I have installed the software and the drive, just about to launch the Data Migration software and give it a try. Thanks again for taking the time to point out the s/w that comes with the drive.

Migrating contents of system drive (including WIN 7)

Hmm... as a total noob, I didn't read the packaging on the Samsung 840 SSD. It says it has the Data Migration software, and the Samsung website says The Samsung Data Migration software is designed to help users quickly, easily, and safely migrate all of their dataincluding their current...

Migrating contents of system drive (including WIN 7)

Good, I kind of thought so. I have all the parts here. Okay, thanks a lot. I don't have the software that came with the drives. I see that at the WD site, they provide Acronis TI, but they say 'This will help you migrate your data to a new WD drive'...

Thanks for your input Subnet mask.......255.255.254.0 Default Gateway.......174.116.160.1 The old IP address that got me in to the router was 192.168.1.2 Thanks. I assume I can find the factory credentials by searching the router's model name. This router was flashed with Tomato and the...

Lenovo desktop w/ fresh WIN7 install eating data - any ideas?

Thanks, I think he is on an admin account now. I will change that. I asked the guy who installed windows to do that and he said he had fully updated it. Right now I think there is a green shield in the Windows update area and it says there are 0 updates available (I think, I just glanced at it...

Lenovo desktop w/ fresh WIN7 install eating data - any ideas?

All right, check this out. We are using a modem from the ISP, an SMC modem. Early on, my Mom was having issues with her WiFi connectivity and a friend suggested we try a Linksys router with Tomato installed. I got one and set it up by plugging it into the SMC modem, while leaving my Dad's...
