    Confused about connecting sound system to motherboard

    Ah, nevermind, haha...turns out I just got my speaker wires tangled and was plugging into the wrong ports on the subwoofer. Anyway, in case anyone else has similar confusion, this is what works: Green - Line out/Front Speaker out (Z560 green plug goes here) Blue - Rear Speaker out (Z560...

    Confused about connecting sound system to motherboard

    I have an older logitech z560 sound system (4 speakers, 1 sub), it all goes through the "soundtouch control center" which has 2 headphone-jack style connectors, the green is supposed to plug into my motherboard's front audio out, and the black is supposed to plug into the motherboard's rear...

    Disabling memory to save power

    Thanks for the suggestions -- I'm already aware of the order of precedence where power savings can be made and already have a SSD hard drive. Your estimate that the ram uses a miniscule amount of power is not true. I have a beefy (in comparison to my other 4 cell laptop that runs for 8 hrs)...

    Disabling memory to save power

    I'm interested in upgrading my laptop's memory from 4 GB to 8 GB. However, i dont always need the extra memory, and the increased power consumption would not be insignificant. My processor is i7 2620-M which I assume is bundled with the memory controller. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether...

    Poor image quality?

    Yes, the image has been upscaled, but look again...that is not the issue here. The larger image has been filtered with a discontinuity preserving smoothing algorithm that reduces high frequency content by flattening out regions of similar color and creates artificial edges where there should be...

    Poor image quality?

    I recently purchased a very expensive lenovo x220 and I noticed immediately when trying to play a hulu video that display quality is shit. I am very confused what could be the cause of this. It looks like there is some kind of low quality "noise reduction" filter being applied that's doing an...

    Good low voltage mobile processors

    My current laptop which I purchased about 5 years ago runs on a Core Solo U1500 processor (Max TDP 5.5W). This is archaic 65NM tech and I'm thinking about upgrading to 32nm tech largely in hopes of getting better performance for about the same power consumption (given that battery tech has...

    Windows on a mac?

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a macbook pro, without leaving any traces of the mac os behind? ie, just turn it into a regular windows laptop. Most references out there are for how to set up dual booting..

    Extremely slow file copy

    Thanks for showing that graph. If it is normal then that makes it better...I had called WD technical support and the person I spoke to said it wasn't normal (probably just naive). I tried scanning my windows file copy shell extension list and there was nothing suspicious there. I also...

    Extremely slow file copy

    I am trying to copy 141 GB of assorted media files from one internal WD Caviar Black 500GB drive to another. One drive has about 50 GB free and the other one is completely empty, which is where I am trying to copy to. The drives are connected using SATA cables and claim performance of 3 Gb/s...

    My images look like a cookie cut-out

    Hello Dark Prodigy, There are two major issues which you must consider when cutting out a human (or any other subject) to be pasted elsewhere: 1) The selection. A good selection always has an alpha component because this is necessary to get smooth edges. You should never use Magnetic lasso...
