How is there a thread for this even? Windows 7 over Vista anyday :D

*poke* I really miss the My Computer dropdown... that's quite useful as most users do not create a signature with their computer specs. Since this is hardwareforums after all. C'mon :D

To my knowledge, the application that you want to use has to support bluetooth. I highly doubt that old games like CS support that kind of stuff - actually, I am not sure that any Personal Computer based 3D game supports that kind of networking, besides the bandwidth requirements for a smooth...

Can you be more specific on the motherboard model number? That's just the chipset, imo. Anyway, you need to know the motherboard model number (like "Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3") so that you can look up the list of supported CPUs - that's your best bet. Then choose the one that's the best...

Hello! I recently got the very fine Samsung Galaxy S II. What I know from wikipedia is that this seems to be the US version (shipped with 2.3.4) although it has many European languages in it. Anyway, I also learned that the latest version is 2.3.6 that should be available for the S II. But...

Well if there are primitives and/or libraries for sending commands to a LPT prot, then you should be fine. Blunt data sending should be enough. Try to do copy a plaintext file directly to the LPT port (usb prot) via Command line and see what happens. In worst case you should be able to create a...

From the top of my head: 1. I would put my OS + all programs on the SSD - that will ensure the fastest startup/loading times. Having the OS on a HDD would diminish the performance gains, since interaction with the operating system is a ever present thing. 2. Is this a fresh installation? 3. Did...

I have never done this but i'd try these things: Connect the PC to a normal VGA monitor Change the resolution to less or equal to 1024x768 Change the refresh rate to the minimum allowed

Has anyone had luck unlocking a HD-695X-CDFC card (e.g. make a HD6950 into a HD6970 pipelinewise - the overclocking can be done separately)? I know it's not reference, but it does have 2GB memory and I've seen that other XFX boards have been unlocked not being reference (the primary thought was...

* ATI has by far the best price/performance ratio. * As for the PSU - exactly what the other guy said: if you don't plan on upgrading, then stick with the 650W, but a stronger one would be much more beneficial as changing the gfx card is the most usual upgrade to make (I had a hd5770 which...

aftermarket = 3rd party, e.g. anything that's not stock; look at this random 3rd party cooler. It will be twice as good as the stock (my i5-750 w/ stock went at 41C when idle, but w/ a cheap (~34$) CPU cooler it now hovers around 25C when idle and I have quite a crammed case with minimum airflow...

can't find any definite info, but it looks like your motherboard has a AGP port and not a PCIexpress port, so if that indeed is the case then you cannot upgrade.

What happens when you plug the bluetooth dongle directly into one of the USB ports of your computer? Does it recognize it then. If not, then either the installation is messed up or the bluetooth dongle is broken. Also, have you tried plugging it into other computers?

I think that this kind of ass covering will be quite common. I'd probably do the same if I were in that business.

So the first suspect is the video card then. Do you have the possibility to check it out in another system?

yes. you can clone the drive. take a look here. beware though that there might be some issues with the mac not recognizing the new disk (i once tried this on a macbook 1,1 and the mac didn't take it - kind of hardware safety stuff, so that manual hardware upgrades are not allowed - this ain't...

Well, I've heard that temp chips can be off on the unit itself, so it could report weird temps, but aren't the i-series CPUs known to be hot? Also - since you have it modded - my wild guess would be that the smart OC functionality is not working anymore, so when on idle, it still runs @ 3.2...

I like the fonts that are all over the captions of controls and links in the Forum skin, but I don't like this dreadful times-new-romanish default font; yeah, I know that we have a wysiwyg editor and I can allways chage the font, but I think that the default fond should be something *less...

Definitely a hardware problem; Either some components are not properly seated in their sockets or one of your components is faulty; I see that you've tried the GPU stress testing. How about CPU burn-in and RAM testing? Prime95 is quite good for CPU and some RAM (not dedicated, but part of the...
