How to extend my Wi-Fi range? in IT Support ·
In that case, what you’re really looking for is a solid PCI WLAN card that actually supports acting as an Access Point.
For instance, take something like this

It’s about $12

Mods, why was my post deleted? in Hardware ·
I’ve had the exact same experience, analogwalker2, and I even ended up getting flagged with a warning. I ran into that same issue where I submitted two different PDFs, which honestly seems like a reasonable way to go about it—especially since those two files were actually targeting different user profiles, meaning you’d likely get a much faster and more accurate response that way. Even though it feels like a logical workaround, the moderators just won't budge on it, but hey, who are we to question how they run the show?
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 in Desktops ·
I don't know what people are talking about when they say you can't find it abroad, or even here in the USA. In my neck of the woods in Gra, I can actually get my hands on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, and I know for a fact they have them available in Germany too.
USB 3.0 issues in Hardware ·
Honestly, even if you haven't done it yet, you should really go ahead and get that Intel USB 3.0 Driver installed, and while you're at it, make sure you've also grabbed the Intel Chipset Driver just to be safe.
408 Request Time-out Error in Forum Help! ·
So, I’m definitely not the only one feeling this way, which honestly makes me feel a whole lot better right off the bat 😁 because it’s just so frustrating when things start to get irritating to the point where you just want to 🙂
I think things will start looking up a little bit

Is anyone else running into this kind of issue on the forum, or am I just having a weird moment here?
I can't tell if it's something going on with my own connection or if the site itself is acting up, and if it's on my end, does anyone have any tips on how to fix it?
Thanks!
Display driver issues... in IT Support ·
It seems like about 99% of the time, this whole mess happens specifically when I'm browsing the web using Mozilla Firefox, so our next move is going to be testing out some different graphics drivers to see if that clears things up, and then we'll take it from there.
Display driver issues... in IT Support ·
I’ve been having this weird little hiccup lately—it actually just happened about five minutes ago—where my screen goes black for maybe a second or two before snapping back to life. When it does, I catch this little notification pop up in the corner saying "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered," though it moves so fast I can barely read the whole thing. I’m pretty sure my graphics drivers are completely up to date, so I was wondering if there might be something else lurking under the hood causing this, or if it’s almost certainly just a driver issue?
DVD drive won't open in IT Support ·
You might want to try running a firmware update first, or it could just be that the rubber seal has lost its tension and weakened over time!!
Do IBM computers have Pegasus spyware? in Hardware ·
You could go out and buy a Russian laptop or even a Chinese one, but if the NSA decides they want to keep tabs on you, they’ll find a way to spy on you regardless of what hardware you choose!!
GPU comparison: Which one should I get? in Desktops ·
I honestly think you’re better off going with that all-in-one unit instead; it just feels more seamless

It’s kind of like saying if you don't know what makes a quality product, you usually just end up paying a premium for something expensive without knowing why.😁
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
Benjamin King2 said:If you're looking at the $333 motherboard and CPU combo, you could probably snag a Radeon HD 5850 for around 500 or 600 bucks. Honestly, that sounds pretty reasonable. 😁

Thanks, that's exactly what I was thinking too, though it looks like you can find everything else for about 1200 if you really hunt for it! 😁
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
Hey there! I was wondering if anyone could give me a fair idea of what a good price would be for an ASUS P7P55D paired with an i5 750 and the stock cooler, along with a Radeon HD 5850? Thanks so much!
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
Just to clear things up, I'm actually offering the 5850, not the 6850, and I'm more than happy to ship this anywhere in the States—shipping should only run you about $10!

Timothy Kim60 said:Man, if you can snag a brand new 7770 over in the States for around $100🙏, it’s going to be a real uphill battle trying to get anywhere near that kind of cash for a used 5850
I’d probably aim for about $500-$200 — if they’re looking for a quick sale

🤣 It isn't even $100, it's actually closer to $95.35 😉, and since it's an auction, it really just comes down to whoever is willing to bid more😁

Well, the die is cast! I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the new card, so now we just wait and see how it all plays out!!

What’s a fair asking price for a PowerColor Radeon HD 5850?

So, looking at these two, which one do you think actually comes out on top—yours or mine? 🙂
