    AT&T Says Injecting Ads Into Airport Wi-Fi Was A Test

    The Washington Wi-Fi Project has already been terminated. It was designed primarily as a sort of advanced game program. We'd hoped it might build into a good training platform... but, quite honestly, for a strictly theoretical exercise... the cost-benefit ratio was just too high. It's all...

    Need new gamer PC, current is 5 years old!

    Just a me-too comment on Asrock motherboards. I had one bad board about 5 years ago, but as mentioned above they seem to be improving in engineering and quality control. I have no problems with ASUS products (enjoying the fine 1750ac router as I type) but their customer service record of late...

    Trouble with R9 270X + Thinkstation E30

    My first two thoughts are either a BIOS setting or a flaky PSU. I had a similar sort of issue with my son's computer a few years ago. Far enough back that I can't recall the details, but the solution had to do with the integrated graphics settings in BIOS. You might try some targetted...

    Sick of waiting on AMD... new build suggestions

    Then you get to see how Skylake shakes things up perfomance and price-wise. Save your sheckels and lkeep scheming. I took over three months to settle on my build.

    Is brand loyalty worth it? AKA: My x58 build went poof

    I find myself buying Asrock motherboards lately, mostly because of price but also because they haven't delivered the suck yet. I think everyone has a brand they will not buy, probably whatever they got burned with when manufacturers were using cheap capacitors. I just retired my old desktop...

    Use of old computers?

    Use them for a computer lab. Or as a demonstration project for distributed computing, by folding for the [H]orde (with permission of course). A creative science teacher could use them in a lot of ways.

    Upgrading from 6gb to 12 gb of ram, trouble getting all recognized

    Sorry to hear that RAD. I found the list of supported memory for this board (assume same model): http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/motherboard_memory_ga-ex58-ud4p.pdf There is no DDR3 1600 memory that passed with 6 dimms. Did you try running at 1333?

    Am I running the memory @ stock 1600mhz??

    @kirbyrj, Definitely on point. Just to remind others, DDR = Double Data Rate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM

    Upgrading from 6gb to 12 gb of ram, trouble getting all recognized

    My old system which just got replaced was real sensitive to RAM in the second set of slots. I could run anything with just two dimms and overclock like crazy. But if I filled the other two slots I had to back off from the factory clock and underclock the RAM from 800 to 667 MHz. You may be in...

    Can I squeeze more life out of this build?

    I opted for the ASUS Strix 750Ti for my build. I don't demand too much from my games so it's more than enough for my needs. Nice thing about this GPU is the low TDP. It will allow you to upgrade to a nice GPU without replacing your PSU...

    Sick of waiting on AMD... new build suggestions

    I opted for a Xeon E3-1231v3 in my recent desktop upgrade. Occasional gamer but need the system to also host a Minecraft server. The Xeon E3 1231 and 1241 give you i7 performance at an i5 price. They don't have integrated GPU and they don't overclock.

    Upgrading from 6gb to 12 gb of ram, trouble getting all recognized

    This thread seems to be all over the place on the X58 and RAM issues: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1546247&page=6 Somewhere in all that chaos was a suggestion to back off on the RAM clock. That might be fruitful. I think I'd start with memtest and run 2 or 3 sticks at a time and...
