Radeon 5450. It's like $20. It has multiple monitor support - which also means it has multiple input plug support, which is nice. So you can plug in VGA, DVI, or HDMI.

Whose idea was this nonsense? Why is the 8pin for the CPU power not just attached to the end of the 24 pin like they did with 20 to 24 pin. i.e. a 32 pin connector And on that same logic -- Why do we need like 5 Ground Pins. What purpose does multiple ground pins serve?

Prepare yourself for login queues.

I use WASD for one reason --> some filthy developers make games without customizable controls

At this point, having internet go out is pretty much equivalent to having the power go out. Can't do anything until it comes back up. Internet down? Fine, I'll just go watch TV. Oh wait, I use Netflix. Fine, I'll play my new Xbox. Oh wait, Its a One. Fine, I'll go on my computer. Oh wait, what good is a computer without internet.

IIRC they use binning to determine which ones they sell as SC or OC versions, in an attempt to reduce the effect of the silicon lottery.

ASrock Z77 Pro4M MATX. You could go for a cheaper chipset, but since you have an unlocked processor, you probably want to shoot for Z77.

Have you messed with Wake-On-Lan features in the BIOS? I had an issue with my LAN port not working a motherboard while I was changing some of those settings around.

I thinks its one of those things where people just care about different things. Most people on these forums care most about things that will give an FPS performance increase in games, which different RAM channels won't give, but it does help other people in other cases.

Going with the 1 module with 8GB gives you the opportunity to at some point add another 8GB for a total of 16GB. The difference in performance from 2x4GB and 8GB will only be noticeable in benchmarks. I highly doubt there will be any difference in the real world.

It doesn't have to be an exact match. It just has to be compatible. If you know the model of your laptop, just google it for a monitor replacement. I know first hand that the screen does not have to be an exact match. I had a faulty Dell Studio XPS 13 that Dell replaced under warranty, but they replaced it with a Dell XPS 14 L401X. I couldn't stand the 1366x768 resolution so I bought a compatible 1600x900 screen and replaced it. The nice part is the screen's are actually pretty cheap compared to monitors. I believe I spent ~$50 on the replacement.

A keyboard thinner than a dime would end up having to be like Microsoft's Surface touch type keyboard. And to be honest, that thing is horrid to type on. Theres no depth to the keyboard, so you can't feel anything and it would just be bad. A mousepad, on the otherhand, is just as useless. Thinner than a dime would mean any surface bumps would mess up the entire mousepad feel. There is no way that a keyboard thinner than a dime is more useful than the stock laptop keyboard. What I wish it was: some sort of "flat" USB connector, like they use on some headphones. I don't know if that is possible or not, but it'd be cool to have the cable it sit flat on the desk and since its so thin you can just put something on top of the cable and have the cable never budge.

Google'd a better method. Open notepad. Copy this and save it as a chrome.vbs script on your desktop. ' This is the URL of the chrome EXE.strFileURL="https://dl.google.com/tag/s/appguid%3D%7B8A69D345-D564-463C-AFF1-A69D9E530F96%7D%26iid%3D%7BA024641A-81C0-533A-53CB-AE9534821219%7D%26lang%3Den%26browser%3D4%26usagestats3D0%26appname%3DGoogle%2520Chrome%26needsadmin%3Dfalse%26installdataindex%3Ddefaultbrowser/update2/installers/ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe"' This is where the file will download to.strHDLocation = "c:\ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe"' Fetch the fileSet objXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")objXMLHTTP.open "GET", strFileURL, falseobjXMLHTTP.send()If objXMLHTTP.Status = 200 ThenSet objADOStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")objADOStream.OpenobjADOStream.Type = 1 'adTypeBinaryobjADOStream.Write objXMLHTTP.ResponseBodyobjADOStream.Position = 0 'Set the stream position to the startSet objFSO = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")If objFSO.Fileexists(strHDLocation) Then objFSO.DeleteFilestrHDLocationSet objFSO = NothingobjADOStream.SaveToFile strHDLocationobjADOStream.CloseSet objADOStream = NothingEnd ifSet objXMLHTTP = Nothing Open Command Prompt (CMD) and type the following 1. cd desktop 2. cscript.exe chrome.vbs The Chrome Installer should be in C:\.

What I think that Corsair is good at is listening to the enthusiasts. If they were to make or relabel motherboards, the first round of boards will probably fall short in different ways, but you can bet your ass that they will fix those issues. My expectation is that they will make sure the motherboard will look nice, have nice placement on all of the connectors, and have the best expansion slot layout. Key examples? USB 3.0 Right Angle Header. All-Black motherboard PCB, etc. Also, I bet Corsair would even bother to put the Front Audio header with the rest of the front panel headers, and not like every other motherboard manufacturer who just put it randomly somewhere in the middle. And you can bet your ass Corsair will make it so that their CLC solutions will fit on even smaller cases, where some motherboards VRM heatsinks are too tall on the top of the motherboard. This is what Corsair excels at. They are quick to understand what the consumer wants when the consumer asks for something that is obvious. Another thing that I think Corsair would be great at would be the UEFI. Where I think Corsair will fall short? Where things aren't so black and white. The actual performance of the motherboard besides the aesthetics. They won't have the experience of Gigabyte or Asus to make a board that is able to overclock as well or be as reliable. They will cost more than their equally performing counterparts, because of they attention they pay to physical design.

Find a movie editing software that is capable of doing everything you could ever want, (whether or not it is easy to use is a plus). Don't do what I did with my knowledge of editing. I cheaped out and used like 15 different free software. 1 for color correction, one for splicing, etc. it was horrible and I basically have 0 re-usable skills.

"My phone has two cores. The new xbox has 8. Holy crap my new xbox is like 4 Times faster than my $600 phone. How come its not $4800?" XDXD

This is a silly thing. Companies make what will sell the most. You don't see Disney selling Disney Prince dolls, they sell Disney Princess dolls. You don't see the male population bitching at Disney for producing WAYY more princesses than princes.

I think the # of cores is like the new 'marketing' selling point. Remember back in the pentium 4 days, PC's were sold advertising only their GHz speed -- "3.0 GHz Holy Shit Must buy" Then they moved to multiple cores and lowered the raw CPU Ghz speed. Now it's -- "my product has EIGHT CORE YO. BUY IT"

650D corsair.

I second this. Silverstone not only big brand PSU, but great PSU brand.

If these prices are real, I hope AMD doesn't see this as an opportunity to release their next generation of cards at a higher price point just because nvidia did. then I'd be a sad panda

1st thing to do when you get a new PC: go to another PC, download Google Chrome. Put it on a USB drive. Install in on new computer. SMD IE, I'm not even going to use you to install google chrome.

if you don't have £600 at hand to buy a phone, I'd highly suggest spending your money more wisely than buying the latest-and-greatest smartphone.

http://10fastfingers.com/user/334306/ repping linustech as golinustech Wooo! after many tries ---> 145 WPM! Edit: if you see the 76 WPM attempt -_-, i'm at work and had to alt+tab =P

Visit the Typing Test and try! I'll have to try again at home. work computer is a POS dell keyboard with sticky keys =) Made an account and got on the top 50 leaderboard for today! Yay! Need like 9 more WPM for top 20
