I have an old Lenovo Y410. I think it has a 1.66 GHz Core 2 Duo right now. I'm thinking I can spruce it up rather affordably with an SSD and a faster cpu, specifically the Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 2.8Ghz. I'm not looking for guarantees or anything, just wondering if you think there's a solid...

What about the PRO 600 or 700?

New system needs a power supply, not sure what I need to cover it all: 8 Total Sticks (4x OCZ OCZ3P1333LV4GK 4GB DDR3 2X2GB DDR3-1333) 1.6V/each 2 (XEON QUAD CORE E5506 LGA1366 2.13GHz) 80W/each (VID Voltage Range 0.75V -1.35V) 1 (EVGA GeForce GT 210 589MHZ 512MB DDR2 PCI-E) Minimum of a 300...

So then a DDR2 board doesn't even exist? Can anyone compare DDR3 1600 CL9 to DDR2 800 CL4? That will be the change if I go DDR3, 8x 2gb DDR3 1600 CL9. Just wondering what the performance difference will be. Faster memory yes, but slower clock speeds. I think the CL4 is better for overall...

Building a system with 2x Nehalem LGA1366 Quad Core Xeons. And I can't seem to find a motherboard that will support two of these CPUs and DDR2. All of them are DDR3. Bonuses I'm looking for, but not 100% necessary, support for: 8 slots of DDR2 SATA2 1x PCI-E16x Meeting all of those...

Yea, I actually tried that during my troubleshooting... nothing.

Just got some brand new hardware: Gigabyte GA-EG43M-S2H, capable of handling 8GB 800mhz of ram @ 1.8v. Intel E8500 3.16ghz 4x Corsair 2GB 800mhz 1.8v CM2X2048-6400C5 System refuses to post with all 4 sticks of Corsair in. It posts every time with 2 sticks running dual channel. Tested all...

Luckily this is a no video card system. Strictly onboard vga. The ram is 1.9. It turns out the 300 isn't going to work anyways, its +12v amperage is garbage. I was just hoping to use it with maybe 1gb of ram till i was able to get a proper psu, but that isn't going to work. Thanks though!

Anyone have any idea how many watts it will take to run a 1gb stick of ddr2 6400? I am doing a new build now, just noticed my PSU is a whopping 300 watts... wow. I am starting to think it wont be able to handle a 5600+ Anthlon 64, 4 gigs of ddr2 6400 (4x 1gb), 3 hard drives, a dvd burner, and...

Could someone please explain to me what you are paying for when you buy $150 ram like so: Kingston HyperX 2GB 2X1GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory As oppose to just spending half that on something like so: OCZ Platinum XTC REV.2 PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800...

I have a couple of Compaq Presarios at work which need to be tossed and I'm wondering if I can salvage the Win XP Home Edition serial key they each have even though they both use those system recovery custom XP discs and not a standard Win Xp Home Ed. disc. Are the keys only good w/ those...

I have multiple cable jacks in my house, so currently i am using the one in my den for my internet but I also have a couple in the living room with the tv.

With my cable internet plan I get two IP addresses. My situation: I have a desktop, xbox360, and laptop. I have a wireless router and I am currently running my desktop and xbox360 over LAN however I no longer want to run a 50ft RJ45 cable to my xbox360. So I have been considering two...

Is it a bad idea to move 160gb of stuff from one HD to another all at once? If so, any suggestions on how much I should move at a time? Thanks.

My old PSU crapped out recently, it was just a regular pos one from a box. So I bought a new Antec SP-500 500w ATX 12V v2.0 PSU. My last PSU had a 20 pin connector, but this new one has 24 pin so I used that in my 24 pin mobo. My system refused to boot. I tried unclipping the extra 4...

I am about to buy a middle of the road ($400, prbly ATi XTX1900 or something) video card, but I have heard of weird issues with 64-bit WinXP. What sort of problems will I have? The reason I use the 64 bit XP is because I tried running my hardware config on 32 bit and it was soooo unstable. I...

My 3.5 year old PSU's fan is failing. On a regular basis the fan stops, I can restart it by simply tapping the back of my computer. I am just wondering if having no fan for a few hours before I realize it's not spinning and fix it, is that ok? I notice on my water cooling that the CPU goes...

Dell has kinda gone crappy over the past few years although recently they have begun to clean up their act. They can also be rather expensive. Why exactly do you want a laptop over a desktop? Are you completely sure you want to give up gaming quality for compactability? Furthermore, do you do...

No way it will load on the new hardware... good luck!

The only drivers that I can find for the SATA were for the at time of OS install drivers. But I decided to reinstall those drivers again and now I am able to get back into windows. As for x64, currently i have found all x64 drivers for all my hardware, so I think I can manage.
