  1. huh. well, guess thats standard then. i didn't know that. thanks for the help!
  2. i know i could do that but 1. would rather have each OS isolated in case one drive gets corrupted 2. honestly i just wanna see if a laptop like what i described exists
  3. kinda want a laptop that has two drives (or can have a second drive installed) for two OSes. not really practical or necessary; just think it'd be cool. I know I could probably put 2 OSes on one drive but ehhhh... all it needs to do is be able to boot from both drives, play 1080p videos at 60hz without exploding and maybe play a game like scrap mechanic on lowest at more than 15fps.
  4. it kinda works; still seems to have a lot of overscan, but there isnt an overscan button nor overscan knobs on the tv so
  5. bought a hdmi to composite adapter for no reason at all; cant seem to get proper resolution. any help? I know i can use the nvidia control panel thing, but i dont know the proper numbers to set the resolution to
  6. downloaded a version of it, doesn't look like its detecting my soundcard at all
  7. oh. could you please link to the download for the mixer?
  8. being left with just the sounds of A/C, computer fans and my tinnitus really isnt fun when im messing around with linux. I would love to use my soundcard but i cant find the right drivers. I need drivers for the Soundblaster Z soundcard.
  9. i have an ssd as my C:\ drive also, im planning to get an RTX series gpu (one of the ones that actually do raytracing), would i need 16gb for games that actually take advantage of that?
  10. i have ~$100 to buy either a RAM kit (2x 8GB, an upgrade from my 2x 4GB) or some games, since I have almost nothing in my library. Do I really need an upgrade to 16 gigs or am I still fine with my 8 gigs?
  11. don't have wired internet available right now; need to install wireless internet drivers for my Linux Mint install need drivers that will work with this card: https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-RNX-AC1900PCE-802-11AC-Express-Wireless/dp/B0159222VS/
  12. persistent mode hates me. I tried making a persistent Linux Mint USB a few months ago but whenever I booted off of it, it displayed the loading screen for around 5 seconds and then crashed to a terminal, saying something about not being able to load something (i can't really remember). I tried it again today and the same thing happened. does anyone know how to fix it? it's Linux Mint 19.1 (AMD-x64), burned using multibootusb, with 4GB persistence.
  13. looking for a pair surround sound headphones for under $100, any suggestions?
  14. I'm going to get a 500gb M.2 drive because I literally only have 3gb on my 1tb HDD, but what do i do with the M.2? should I have Win10 and music, documents and all that on the M.2 and leave steam on my HDD or vice versa?
  15. on a scale of 1 to 10, how good is Ryzen 7 1700 for: older games like Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and Garry's Mod? a super-intensive game/simulator? running VR? Running multiple intensive programs at once? and how much power would it take at 80-100%?
  16. I don't really wanna get professional stress testing software (at least, not right now) so what is the best free software for basic CPU/GPU tests?
