Draygoes, Many thanks for the reply! I'm glad you didn't overlook it because of its date :) I am working on imaging laptops and need to use their service tags (listed as serial numbers in the BIOS) for the computer names. I am using a product from Symantec (Deployment Solutions) that helps with...

While we're on the topic, any recommendations on 4k monitors? :D I've only just started to look into them a bit.

Craig: I'm definitely not looking to spend that much up front. I'd probably be more interested in buying the 970 now and buying a second one later should I move to 4k gaming since I don't currently have a 4k monitor, or even a 2k for that matter. Wishful thinking :) Plus, the 970 has some of the...

Hmm. I may just buy the video card for now and upgrade the whole platform here in a year or so once Haswell-E and DDR4 prices come down. Though, I did notice that CoH2 was using 80% of my 8GB with just steam and raidcall running in the background...hmmm...decisions decisions. What about the 4K...

I'll definitely have to look into the 970. I wouldn't be totally against spending a bit more, but it looks like the 970 is an excellent card and it has a great price point. I'm sure it'd destroy my 560Ti and make games like Company of Heroes 2 run much smoother. One thing I have realized is...

Jarl, I was looking primarily at the R9 290, but I will admit I do prefer NVidia, do you know how those two cards compare to the 290? I haven't really pushed the overclocking envelope on video cards since in my experience I haven't been able to get any notable boost in performance - the cards...

Thanks for the input BK. I'm willing to spend up to about $400 on the video card. The RAM is around $70 I believe for the same model to fill up my motherboard. This is the RAM that I'd be purchasing since its the same kit I have installed already...

Good day fellow CFians, Its been some time since I posted in these parts - not sure if many vets are still around, but if so hello again. To those who are new, nice to meet you! So I've been getting 'the itch' to upgrade my system and thought I'd query y'alls thoughts on my upgrade options...

Hello everyone, The company I work for uses almost exclusively Dell computers which have service tags as serial numbers. We have been incorporating the service tags into our computer names since I started here in 2011. We have gotten big enough to where I am working on an automated deployment...

Ok, I have a question that I find hard to word, but I'll try to explain it best I can. (I also hope I have my registry definitions correct.) I am trying to find out how to see, and how to change where a registry value gets its data. For example, I am looking at the subkey...

That is what I as thinking, I am checking out this Nvidia GT 610 card at the moment: Newegg.com - ASUS GT610-SL-1GD3-L GeForce GT 610 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card Another question though. If I get the card and install it, will I need to change...

Hey Guys, I am looking to install a secondary graphics card so that I can connect my 55" Samsung TV to my computer without having to change Nvidia settings each time I want to use it (can only actively support 2 monitors on 560Ti.) I considered just having it clone my 2nd display, but due to it...

I've been using Windows 8 a bit now on my laptop and I can't say I'm impressed either. However, it is a pre-beta release. Hopefully they will change things based on customer feedback. Though, as it stands, I would not be happy with Windows 8.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but could you give some examples of what is wrong with their interface? From what I understand, its basically a windows 7 base with an overlay, but I'm not trying to judge until I get a chance to try it out for myself.

Hello All, I am currently looking for a solution for customizing windows images and then automating the deployment/Out-of-box Experience (OOBE) for the business I work for. I have done some research for what is available, but so far I find the Microsoft solutions to be complicated or not quite...
