I no longer have the W530 but I would suspect running 2 - 4k screens might be a little much for the computer, as I've read the event some of the newer cards can struggle with 4k (like the lower-end GTX 1050 cards). At least this is what I've read--I don't have a 4k display or a video card to...

OK. Yeah I heard about the "recall" on the Intel patch. I believe my desktop at home has been patched, and I really can't see any impact (however, I do occassionally get stutter from listening to music, but that could also be a number of things, especially since I multi-task a lot, despite...

OK. I looked through some of their reviews of the i5 8400 and will probably go with that, partially due to cost reasons, as I will need to get 16GB of DDR4, which isn't all that cheap (at least not like in the old DDR3 days when 16GB was only $75... that's long gone now as 16GB of anything is...

For anyone who uses Adobe Photoshop CC and/or Lightroom (Classic) CC, can anyone comment on the differences (if any) they experienced going from a quad core to something more (6 cores+)? I'm considering a new build for photo editing and considering either getting an i5 7600 (for core clock...

I have been reading up on the Intel security flaw that was bought to people's attention late last year and what is being done about it. But one thing I have heard and read here and there is that the patch (which I guess it sounds like is at the OS level, so in my case, Windows) will slow the...

I use a paid AV/Security program (ESET). I'm still a believer in that you get what you pay for. Yes, there are some decent FREE ones out there, like AVG, Avira, and a handful of others, but I still think that when it comes to security, it's not worth cutting corners to save a few bucks. If...

I think I'll get the video card for now, as I'd have to get that anyway. If I did go with the 1060, it would be the 6GB for sure. The 1070 is a bit out of my price range, considering that I will probably end up having to buy everything (CPU, memory and motherboard), and considering this will...

So I am looking to "rebuild" my older computer (about 4 years old) for Oculus rift. At this point, I will need a new video card, so I'm looking to a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB card. That I have to buy (or some video card). My question is more on the CPU and other components. I have a Core i5 3570S...

(This may be border-lined questionable so I apologize in advance it violates the forum guidelines.) Anyway, I had AnyDVD HD that I was using to back up my Blu-rays and DVDs to my home theater PC (I would rip them using AnyDVD and then compress using Handbrake). Since AnyDVD has been shutdown...

Unfortunately, this type of system would not work for me, as I wear regular glasses and am going to be holding a camera up to my eye most of the time while recording, so it needs to be something I can mount to my chest using a vest or my head using a headband. (That and I need my prescription...

Looking for suggestions for screen-recording software for me to record my screen as I narrate (for training purposes). I'm always a bit skeptical of these types of programs (a bit concerned about security, and these types of programs "phoning home" when in use--or not in use). Any suggestions...

So I do urban exploration of abandoned buildings, and was wondering if anyone knew of any good quality action cameras that are similar to a GoPro, but cost less (like in the $200 range). The only requirement I have is that I'd like one that's at least 8MP, has a removable (and thus rechargable)...

I ended up giving him one of my ESET licenses (I usually buy licenses in multi-packs anyway). I'm going to with a false-positive at this piont, because after checking the virus definitions date again, it was about a year out of date, so my assumption is that it didn't recognize the file as...

I've got a computer that's running AVG (it's a friends computer) and after downloading the Microsoft Office 365 installer from Office.com (which is where you have to log in and download) it now identifies it as a trojan. This is a clean install with just AVG and Windows with drivers. I'm...
