    2x8GB Laptop ram. Best way to use in desktop PC?

    So I have a Macbook pro that basically died. It's got 2x8GB dimms(or are they still called sodimms?) inside. I've seen quite a few places on the internet that have those little laptop-to-desktop ram inserts. Can anyone actually recommend one that works well? Is it even worth it to try and do...

    Quad core Phenom 9600.. need suggestions for something new.

    2 ATI 6970's in Crossfire/Eyefinity and Windows 8

    So I installed Windows 8 on my machine and noticed that Windows 8 by default sets up each monitor as their own instanced resolution. It set up 1 huge desktop, but each monitor had their own 1920x1080 resolution, so it was showing up 1920x1080x3 instead of 5760x1080. Whenever I clicked...

    2x 6970's in Eyefinity.. Help?

    I purchased 2 Diamond 6970's for Eyefinity. Each card comes with 2 DP, 1 hdmi and 1 DVI. I currently have 3 monitors, 2 monitors have DP/DVI and a third has HDMI/VGA So the DP ports on these cards is pretty close, close enough to where I can't plug in both DP adapters. I have 1 DP...

    Another 3870x2...or?

    Is there a brand 6950 I should be looking for? or is it random? I saw the 6970's at Fry's for like $329.. I didn't even notice the 6950's price because I was oogling over the 6970's.. I've been so out of the loop on video cards/prices so I'm a born again noob.
