Anyone have info for when the new AMD cpus be out in numbers? I know of about 3 models, but I would like to know when they hit in high numbers/ number of models. Thanks

Yes, I know there is a lot of fud on the issue. I just need to get to the best way of making 10 HIPAA compliant. I don't need the 10 bashing, and the 10 hyping. I just need a simple set of steps to make it so 10 can be used by an independent insurance agent. (They deal with medical data...

Ok, I am running an ASuS N56DP-DH11 with Windows 7 Pro installed. It shows is display screen as a "Mobile PC Display." I cannot change this designation. Why is this an issue? Websites check what screen they are displayed on. Whenever a "Mobile PC Display" is found, you get the Mobile...

I have seen a lot of headphones using USB, and bypassing the headphone jacks. I believe (correct if wrong) using USB bypasses your sound card. Since I have nice sound cards, I wish to use the 3.5 jacks. So, anyone recommend any of the "old fashioned" jack using headphones? Something...

I am looking at replacing my laptop's hard drive (5400 rpm 1tb) with an SSD. I am also looking at adding an SSD to my desktop, to improve performance. Point is this: There are different technologies in SSD (TLC, MLC, 3D Vertical, etc.) with different controllers. I know some are old...

FYI: Office Depot and Office Max have a series of closings of stores. (They used to compete with each other, before they merged, and therefore have stores too close to each other. Therefore, they are closing the redundant stores.) Office furniture, supplies, some tech stuff, etc. will go on...

Ok, New to Linux, but I see an ever growing need to know how to, well, at least run it to fix Windows machines. This plus the "I have old, but good, hardware laying around doing nothing, why not do something with it," bug in my brain. I have an old Asus Eee Netbook 1005HAB (yup, the...

Ok, I have a Windows 7 machine with a virus on it. It seems the virus puts a blank screen overlay, just after the windows boot screen. I cannot get past it. I have tried both Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10, and Bitdefender Rescue Disk. Both removed approximately 100 trojans, and a half dozen...

Would like a cooling pad for the laptop, one that blows air, not sucks air. Not too expensive, and can handle a wide screen 15.6 inch (think closer to 16 inch) laptop. Bought an Antec Classic, found it to suck air off the bottom of the laptop, not blowing on it, actually caused the heat...

Ok, search for a good deal, find "branded" OS. IE: Unsold OEM disks from HP, Dell, etc., now being resold by independent sellers. Do those things actually work? :confused: Anyway, anyone know of a good spot to buy Win 7 Home Premium, or Professional (I think I want the XP emulator) for a...

Ok, Who has downgraded from Win 8 to Win 7 on a laptop? What are the basic issues one will run into? I know the "official" line from the manufacturers is to "not recommend" the downgrade, due to the laptop "being designed for Windows 8." Yeah, no, if it does not have a touch screen...

Low cost is say under $800. Run, say WoT, and Valve games, well. Prefer it NOT to have Nvidia graphics. (Been burned, literally, with Nvidia graphics on laptops...) No HP. (Burned there, too.) 15.4 inch screen or larger preferred. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Ok, Has anyone else attempted to update their 5770 ATI/AMD video card to the new drivers? I have an HiS HD 5770 IceQ 5 Turbo graphics card. It will run with any of last year's drivers, but if I try the 13.1 driver, it has little pixel stripes approximately the size of the minus sign pop...

Ok, I have a friend of mine who wants to run a gaming community. He wants to own the box, and not buy each individual game "server" through a provider. So, anyone know of a few places where one can find good used or refurbished 1U rackmount servers? Inexpensive, and not old. (Think...

Mobile broadband for a laptop? Which provider has the best set up? Best bang for buck? Best network? Should I get a wifi hotspot, usb, or card? Going to be using this across country, on rest stops. Single laptop, perhaps to swap with my netbook. Checking email, surfing, and gaming (if...

Ok, my friend has a phenom II system, based on an ASuS M4N68T-M motherboard. The fans all spin, but the computer does not post. The lights on the keyboard do not light, keyboard does not work, the mouse does not work, and no video. This motherboard has a led that lights when it gets power...

Ok, I have a friend who is building a new system, It is an AMD FX8120 on a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard, with an AMD 6870 graphics card, a DVD burner, and 1tb SATA hard drive. When she tries to boot up, there is no video, the mouse does not turn on, and the keyboard lights do not come...

The Enermax SpineRex Chassis, I won on the forums arrived yesterday afternoon. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1600599 It is excellent. And huge! For comparison purposes: My 2 drawer file cabinet is 25 1/4 inch tall, by 15 inches wide, by 18 inches deep. The SpineRex is 23 1/2...

Ok, I have had a hard failure of a laptop recently (out of warranty, and the dreaded nvidia overheat and burnout... which seems to be occurring a lot lately) which leaves me with a perfectly good Intel T7500 2.2ghz Core 2 Duo (Merom) mobile processor. It is a Socket P or micro PPGA478...
