First off, not sure if this is right place... I have looked around but I can't find a clear answer. I have upgraded to 60mb with Virgin and will receive a superhub on Wednesday. I will set the superhub to modem only (I know how to do this) and connect the d'link (i kind of know how to do this)...

should I deactivate onboard graphics chip? I have a 640m dedicated. Thanks.

Running Kingston hyper x 1600 ram (2x4gb) in Windows 7 64bit on Asus m5a99x evo motherboard but cpu-z shows maximum bandwidth as 667Mhz (=1333 with DDR). I tried changing bios settings but I'm just fumbling around in the dark really since I don't know what I'm doing. Some advice would be very...

On windows 7 64bit. I have hdd bay with 2 hdds each with 500gb capacity. The bay is set to striping which should give a total capacity of 1tb. The problem is that when I boot into bios settings the drive is shown as a 1TB external drive BUT when my computer is on it only shows the drive as...

Looking for a friend, especially gt440 which is really cheap and not too bad but I cant find what pixel shader it has on any specs, does it have pixel shading?

Hi there. I will have a 2 hdd bay with 500gb each drive. I want to back up my internal hdd (1tb), can I configure this to raid 0, have combined space of 1tb and backup my data to it. My plan is to just plug it when I need to create a fresh backup and unplug again to help protect against...

My wireless (Edimax EW-7612PIn Wireless PCI-Express Adapter) gets a download speed of around 10Mbps where my ethernet plugged into router gets 16Mbps. This seems a bit of an excessive gap between the two to me. What do you guys think?

I want to get a second HDD to backup my system every 2 weeks or the like, but can I stop the HDD from being accessed by the computer without unplugging it. My plan is so that if I get a virus it won't infect my backup HDD. All help appreciated, muchas gracias :)

Is there any way to just take the fan off of the CPU cooler without removing the entire heat sync. There is a build up of dust behind the fan that I would like to remove. Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I have recently had to reformat my HDD due to infection of some kind. The question is, what can be done to help protect against needing to do this other than being careful of what to download and scanning files. Would using another hard drive (external or internal) to save my...

is my 3gb palit gtx 580 better performance than a nvidia gtx 680 at 2gb?

Hey there people :) I have been noticing some unusually high usage on my network, it's just me and my girlfriend in the house but in the past couple of months the usage has been oddly high and we can't think of what it could be. We are not on unlimited usage so it kind of matters. If we go...

Other than speed improvements with initially loading games or other large programs will having a faster HDD drive set up improve performance. E.g. If I had an SSD would I see improvements while actually playing games or would it only improve load times rather than actual 'play'? I have a 1TB WD...

Hey there people :) Not a huge issue, but I have tried 3 types of memory card: SD, Mini SD and Micro SD; but none of them are recognised. The USB port works though. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi I am thinking of installing Ubuntu and dual booting it and windows 7. Will both operating systems be able access all my data? Also I noticed that my Caviar Green 1tb HDD has 3 ports. one is the SATA port, another is the SATA power supply port and the third is an 8 pin port (two rows of...
