What Do I Need? Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI

I have a Surface Pro that I'd like to connect to my Dell 3007 30" display, which only accepts dual-link DVI connections. I've found "active" converters that are display port to dual link DVI, including one from Dell that is made by VisionTek ((#900639). Despite Visiontek saying its limited to...

Bewildered by Motherboard Choices

Thanks for the helpful posts, Charles, Prey2big, and Sleepingforest. I've been poking around and have been narrowing things down: - agreed that BT isn't worth it... too much stuff not needed comes along with it - 3570K does sound like a good trade-off As for the video cards, I have them both...

Help: Need lga775 mobo

Just to end this. I ended up finding a P5Q Pro used. It died a few days later and the seller RMA'd it for me. It is now in my HTPC as my old HTPC died.

Need to purchase a new motherboard and I'm completely bewildered by range of choices and completely opaque product names, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out based on the needs below: Use: my primary desktop for office work, photoshop, ripping blu-rays and encoding with handbrake, gaming...

Help: Need lga775 mobo

Pitz: My mind is already going there, so I'm checking out whether I'm better off with Z68 or P67 motherboards. CoolPurpleFan: That's funny and at this point, why not. I'll see if I can find the time this weekend... the heatpipes are staying on unless they come off easily.

Thanks. Yes, I plan to tear it down and do some of those things this weekend, but I'm not hopeful.

3 years, 3 months. No o/c, just upped voltage for the RAM.

Help: Need lga775 mobo

My Asus P5Q Deluxe just died -- flaky for two weeks, then bios corruption message, failed automated restore, now won't post. I don't have the $ or desire for a whole new sytem, so I'm looking for recommendations of motherboards to replace it. The replacement needs to work with an Intel Q9450...

Dead-Ends Everywhere

The 1080p display reappeared on the L501x so I bought one. Great unit so far.

PCMCIA Serial Port

I've been looking at PCMCIA cards that provide a single DB9 serial port and I've found wide variations in price from $25CDN to >$100CDN. I'm not sure what the differences are between these cards, but I'm looking for something robust and rugged as it will be used in car for engine tuning, data...

Dead-Ends Everywhere

I wanted a new Dell XPS 15 with the 1080p display, but the display is no longer available due to supply challenges. I then turned to the HP Envy 14, but the Radiance display has also vanished as an upgrade. What are my remaining options? This machine will replace an IBM T40p from 2003, so I'm...

Non-Gamer System Build Advice

Thanks for the correction nbowman. It's hard to tell what driver versions people are using when they report a feature's presence or absence. I've been doing so more comparing and it seems the P5Q Deluxe is more feature-rich than the P5E Deluxe, despite the lower cost. However, it appears that...

Non-Gamer System Build Advice

Thanks a ton for your help. I did consider the P5Q, P5Q Pro, and P5QE, but really like the cooling set-up on the P5Q deluxe. I'm still really torn. As for the Crossfire issue, yes, it seems having cards in crossfire will kill one monitor. Let's say I never crossfire, but I get a 4870 X2...

Thanks DSF. Much appreciated. No dual monitor on Crossfire?! Crap! Are you sure? Thanks for the memory info, too. will go read up on the P5Q Pro -- why doesn't it appear on Asus's website?

Asus P5E Sticker removed

Curious if this flashing to the other bios would change the memory compatibility? My RAM is validate for the P5E Deluxe, but doesn't appear on the Rampage's QVL doc. Any ideas? Just afraid I'd have an inoperable system after the flash if the RAM is incompatible.
