  1. This will not be easy, and it will be a nightmare if you are not running Intel. Google 'hackintosh'.
  2. If Intel's main headquarters were located on an island, what would the road to it be called? Sandy Bridge.
  3. Indeed they are. In that case I suggest you get a DP to VGA adapter. DP carries the VGA signal too.
  4. I'm quite sure that the 2nd DVI port on the 290 is DVI-I. I suggest you get a passive DVI-I to VGA adapter, as active adapters can cause the analog signal to degrade.
  5. Hello. I have been hosting a dedicated server for Counter-Strike Global Offensive for some of my friends to play games on. Right now the only way to do administrative tasks is with rcon, and the rcon password is the same as the server password. I am looking to change that. Could anybody who has hosted a server suggest me something to use to administer the server more easily? Thanks.
  6. Go ahead, I have installed OEM drivers and Windows Update drivers on the same system, have had no problems.
  7. The 30Hz limit is only for 4K. it can do 144 hz at 1080p. Also, DVI is the same signal as HDMI.
  8. Used to be a flightsimmer, FSX only, until I found out that 10 fps is not okay. Since then I have been saving up for a better rig with FSX, which I will hopefully get next month. Is FSX:SE worth buying, if one owns the Gold Edition on disc already? Also, how does it run on Windows 10?
  9. You buy Windows 10, you can only use it on one PC. If the motherboard fails, you must replace it with the same model.
  10. I kid you not, I find the Logitech M100 to be good for me. Take this with a grain of salt though, this is coming from a Silver Elite Master.
  11. Tech news! Maybe.
  12. They just stopped branding cards as GTS. Now it's just GT (crap) and GTX (good).
  13. Because Sapphire to AMD is like what EVGA is to NVIDIA.

      Haven't Microsoft done this ever since Windows 95 days, only increasing it at each release, and people only started giving a damn around 8's release, and at 10's release, everyone flips. All those people thinking downgrading to Windows 7 will help them... Maybe they won't spy as much on that OS (but still noticeable amounts), but for how long?

      Besides, so many huge corporations already have so much private data, that there's nothing that really can be done.

  16. No, don't use that, it doesn't work with UEFI. It formats the drive in NTFS. You have start over. Format th USB in FAT32 and follow my instructions.
  17. No, Windows will be kept. I wouldn't recommend fully cleaning the drive, it takes a long time and it's not worth it unless you are not keeping the PC and don't want the next person to recover personal information.
  18. What OS are you installing it on? 10, 8.1 and 8 already include 4.6 and 4.5, which are backwards-compatible with 4.0
  19. Granted, but the nearest pizza place is 50 miles away and they do not have a delivery service.I wish I could study better.
  20. Can confirm that this is en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676939.iso, Windows 7 64-bit Professional with SP1 and KB2534111 hotfix, released 13th of May 2011.You can simply paste the contents of the ISO to a 4GB USB drive. For UEFI-based moetherboards, you need to extract the bootmgfw.efi from boot.wim in the sources folder (7-zip can do that) and copy it to a folder named boot inside the efi folder, then rename the file to bootx64.efi.
  21. Granted, but you also become homeless.I wish for a bigger house.
