LET'S MAKE THIS WORK PEOPLE!

Okay, now as anyone could see there are HUNDREDS of tech threads floating around in CD - ranging from questions about graphics hardware, to questions about pricier graphics hardware and other tech such as monitors, hard drives and Processors to announcement threads of new technology and more. (I accede - I'm not being very eloquent here

Any questions you have, tech news or ANYTHING related to buying/selling/information/announcements of new hardware should go here.

For example, if you come to the forums to ask "What is the better graphics hardware" or "What sort of RAM should I put in my PC?" then it should go here - I'm a little hazy, I know - but please keep all those graphics card and tech questions to one thread! Please!
So here's the summary, all:

• Announcements and queries on new or unreleased tech
  
• Benchmarks and results of hardware/discussion
  
• Questions on what sort of hardware you need/want for your machine
  
• Questions about existing tech and/or function
  
• Pricing and recommendations

Should be kept to THIS THREAD.

This has been A-okayed by CCNA for all who were wondering - it's up to you to stop filling CD with the same topics again and again that ask what the most powerful card in existence is so you can (not) buy it.

If you feel you have a question or can answer one - please feel free to do so.

Also, this is a great thread for you PC newbs, for learning more about your PC and hardware. http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=258050&st=0&p=4626051&#entry4626051

Also, a useful site for a frame of reference (not actual numbers), http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html?modelx=33&model1=476&model2=477&chart=174, and http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html?modelx=33&model1=519&model2=547&chart=211


Thanks all.
Adding more links shortly, thank you for your patience.

[Umpyre Records]

I'm in serious need of some expert advice.

I have dual Intel SSDs in my laptop with 320GB space and tonight I was trying to clean out some space by uninstalling old programs, moving unnecessary files to external drive, etc.

That's when I discovered my drive is harboring a ginormous WTF 16GB file called pagefile.sys

Naturally I googled this to figure out why my pagefile is so freaking huge, only to stumble upon what is apparently the most controversial issue since Team Edward vs. Team Jacob LOL... There are so many forum posts out there saying pagefile needs to be the same size as your RAM, or larger. Others argue that you should reduce the size it if you have more than 8GB RAM.

What do you guys suggest? Can I reduce it? I frequently work with extremely large outdoor advertising image files in Photoshop, as well as video files in video, motion graphics and disc authoring apps such as Avid, After Effects, Encore, Netblender, Sonic Scenarist, etc. However, IIRC, I don't think I've ever maxed out current processes to my total RAM which is 16GB. I seem to recall seeing my memory in use get up to around 8-10GB on occasion according to task manager.

Can I reduce the pagefile size to 4GB? 8GB? Do I need to keep it at 16GB?

Here are my specs:
Envy 15 laptop
CPU: i7-820QM 1.73GHz - 3.06GHz turbo
GPU: 1GB AMD 5830M
Memory: 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 RAM
Primary Drive: 320GB Dual Intel X18 G2 SSD in Raid0 (160GB x 2)

Nope, that's totally normal. It's true that if the page file gets too big it starts to yield diminishing returns due to lousy HDD seek latency (among other things). This is reduced significantly with an SSD, and IMO 16GB isn't unreasonable for a system with 16GB of RAM anyway. My systems only have 8GB of RAM and I set the page file to 12GB. Since you're using SSD's you don't really even need to worry about fragmentation of the page file. I'd leave it alone.

Thanks very much for the quick reply.

In my case, I'm not concerned about fragmentation, I just want to reclaim some of the space because I'm running out of room on my SSD.

Would it be detrimental to reduce the pagefile to 4GB or 8GB? Do I really need 16GB pagefile if I have 16GB RAM and my active processes never seem to actually use the full 16GB of RAM?

[{Richies Mommy}]

Hey, I was just wondering what would be the best free program for unzipping files?

With 16GB of RAM do don't need a page file... However some applications may require one or at least strongly recommend you have one (ie Adobe Photoshop). IMO, I would pick one of your faster drives (non SSD) and let Windows manage the size. If you really need space cut it down to 2GB or so.

Remember the page file must be a contiguous free area of the selected hard drive. It is recommended that you keep that hard drive and/or partition, defragmented.

Thanks, Niohoggr!

This is in my laptop and I don't have any secondary drive, only the internal SSD raid.

Without changing anything else, can I adjust the setting to limit it to a specific size, for example 2GB or 4GB? (while keeping the location, etc., the same?)

[Jade Barnes-Mackey]

I am getting a Nook e-reader and have heard that it is possible to unlock, essentially turning it into a small andriod tablet. Anyone here have any insight on how to do such things?

Well if its set to System Managed right now, you'll have to select: Custom size and then give it a Initial size and a Maximum size. I would keep it as small as possible, if you only have a SSD. Giving it a static size may reduce wear on the drive. Set initial and maximum to 2048MB. Important: You must click the Set button and reboot for the changes to take effect.

Hey Tig Ole, quick question. When you say that Dell mobos are propreitary, do you mean that Dell mobos made for one system are not compatible with even other systems, or that if I got a Dell mobo for a more recent system, it would work?

[W E I R D]

Remember the page file must be a contiguous free area of the selected hard drive. It is recommended that you keep that hard drive and/or partition, defragmented.

I personally would not recommend getting rid of the swap file entirely. As mentioned, this can cause problems even with extreme amounts of RAM. For the average laptop usage patterns a 2GB swap file is probably fine with 16GB of RAM. I personally wouldn't make it that small on my own machine, though, even with an SSD. :shrug:

Also, it wouldn't hurt to defrag once after you set the static swapfile and reboot, but most articles I've read about SSD wear and tear recommend not defragging regularly. Since they don't seek with physical heads fragmentation doesn't cause additional wear on the drive or significant seek latency.

@hyrule4927: I recommend 7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/

Definitely.

Hey Tig Ole, quick question. When you say that Dell mobos are propreitary, do you mean that Dell mobos made for one system are not compatible with even other systems, or that if I got a Dell mobo for a more recent system, it would work?

It depends on what you mean by 'compatible with other systems.' Dell makes motherboards to fit their chassis...they're not standard form factors in most cases (ATX, Micro-ATX, etc.), so they won't fit in 3rd-party chassis. They also may be designed for mounting of proprietary CPU coolers, power supplies, and things like that. The actual chipsets used are typically your standard Intel, AMD, nVidia, etc. fare, so it's not that they're so different from a computing standpoint...just a general physical design standpoint.

[maya papps]

this isn't a question or an answer or a contribution really, but i just wanted to thank every one who helped me with a thread about laptop specs recently this week. I actually went against the majority of advice and got the computer I was looking at (it works great so far, MC runs smoothing which is at minimum what I was looking for) but if it were not for the community I would have bought one of two other laptops that definitly would have svcked hard. I could not think of a better place to thank the community than on the tech thread. THANKS!

p.s I am on it now, lolz

Asus - Eee Pad Transformer Tablet / NVIDIA Tegra 2 Processor / 10.1" Display / 16GB Storage Memory - Brown/Black

I was seriously interested in that tablet until I found out that it has no USB port on the actual tablet. That was the deal-breaker point for me. The Eee Pad Transformer is purely a consumption device, and without a USB port for me to plug a 3G dongle into, it's useless.

Right now, the tablet that has my attention is the http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/a-closer-look-at-the-htc-flyers-screen-and-stylus-aka-htc-scri/ as it is the first modern tablet that may actually be useful for school work due to the inclusion of a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewey0qol_8U. But for my tastes the price is too high, and it doesn't come with Honeycomb. I'm going to wait and see when Honeycomb is released for it, wait and see if a 10'' model comes out, and hopefully see a $450 price tag with the stylus (currently $580 with the stylus because of an exclusive deal with Best Buy where Best Buy sells the stylus separately, once BB's exclusivity ends, it'll be $500 with the stylus).

The HTC flyer, though, has the potential to be the first tablet actually useful for doing work. Every other tablet on the market is nothing more than a toy with the exception of the Eee Pad Transformer (but typing has never been an effective learning method for me, so I need a stylus for my e-note taking). I really am hoping this is the beginning of a trend of moving back to tablets with styli.

I have been planning for some time to build a home desktop for video editing, CS5, motion graphics and gaming purposes.

Since the Z68 mobos are available and not too expensive, I think I'm ready to move forward.

Can anyone take a look at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8613775/NewEgg/Newegg.com%20-%20Once%20You%20Know%2C%20You%20Newegg.htmand let me know if this makes sense, or if I'm missing something?

In particular, I'm not sure about the PSU, Heatsink and Case, this will be my first DIY desktop build and I'm hoping that these will be compatible with the rest of the components. Do I need to buy some cables as well, or does that come with the PSU?

I'm going with NVIDIA for the CUDA processing for CS5 and the Z68 for the QuickSync feature for video transcoding. I plan to use dual Intel 510s in Raid0 for the primary drive and 2TB WD Caviar Black for storage

[Natalie Harvey]

If you use the imbedded video processing in the new Intel cpus, does that degrade the entire system's performance? (like sharing cpu cycles?)

[Liv Staff]

I don't understand exactly how it works with the Z68 boards, but from reading a few articles, it seems that Lucid's Virtu software assigns tasks in real time to the best available graphics resource, so you can benefit from either Quicksync for video encoding tasks or the discrete GPU for rendering polygons, I suppose.

Well, not just for playing games. For cpu intensive software, like audio editing, does drawing the interface svck juice out of the cpu by itself?

I have a Nvidia nForce 710a motherboard, however I'm pretty sure that it doesn't matter for the AMD card, if it's a Nvidia motherboard, as long as I have a PCI x16 and the required power supply.

[JUDY FIGHTS]

I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40GHz) and it can get very hot when I'm doing something performance intensive, up to 66°C. Should I be worried?

[Alexandra Louise Taylor]

Just purchased an SSD off of newegg. So how do I set this up?

I was just going to reformat my HDD, reinstall my OS onto the SSD, put a few games as well as a few other programs I often use on the SSD as well, then reinstall all my other stuff onto my HDD.

Can I set Steam to install certain games onto my SSD instead of my HDD or reverse? Or do they all have to go into one Steam directory?

The 6870 is a higher class card, not too much more expensive than the 460.

The 460 is almost the entry level DX11 card for NVIDIA, you can usually find one pretty cheap on Newegg ($150 or so).

However, if you plan to work with a lot of Adobe CS5 apps, I would suggest the 460, as it can improve performance for Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects with CUDA hardware processing

So after a pretty terrible bout of blackouts and power surges today, my boss finally green-lit me looking for a UPS or two, the only thing is I've got no idea what I should be looking for in a UPS. It'd be connected to a server running Windows Server 2003. I can't remember the exact specification off the top of my head, but it's nothing fancy: 4 hard drives in a RAID array, a dual-core Xeon processor 2.4 GHz, 32-bit, so I don't imagine it is very demanding power-wise, and basically only want the thing so the server can be gracefully shut down.

So what should I be looking for? Any good brand/model recommendations?

[Rhi Edwards]

I've been way from my home for the past 7 months for college (away from my desktop). I'm home for summer and have come to find that my processor is fried. I haven't actually pegged this as the exact problem but it's the only thing that makes sense. The heatsink fan does not run properly anymore and I assume that while I was away, (and my nephew who can play Garry's Mod/Team Fortress 2 for 5+ hours without taking a break was over several times) the fan broke and the processor just died. It won't boot up, the fan doesn't run, the adhesive connecting the heatsink to the processor is gone and I get beeps. I didn't count the beeps because I'm almost positive that it's the processor and I need a new one. So with that, I need some help.

Since I can't give you guys a dxdiag and show you my hardware, I'll show you my last order from newegg:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130172

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103300

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227289

Since the CPU is busted, I obviously need a new one of these, but I'm not quite sure what I exactly need.
I also am open to buying 4gb of RAM, a new set of speakers and another video card so I can run Skyrim better. Any and all help is appreciated, my price range is a $500 max.

[Jarrett Willis]

Got a problem, my computer tends to completely lock up after running for a few hours, regardless of what I'm doing (playing games, browsing, etc), and then when I try to restart it, there's about an 80% chance it gets stuck at the Vista start-up loading bar (you know, the one with the scrolling yellow-green bars). I've tried starting it up in safe mode, but when it's loading all the drivers and such it sticks at "crcdisk.sys". Looking around online it seems the start-up issues are symptomatic of HDD problems, but I don't really see how it'd cause the hangs-after-a-few-hours problem. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

Hey guys. A friend of mine wants to build a PC mainly for amateur video and photo editing. He also said he might start gaming on his PC though so it's also something to consider. The PC plus the monitor have a 900 euros budget. If possible lower (obviously ). I was thinking of the following build, pelase tell me what you think:

CPU: i5 2500k - 165 euros

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 6GB 1600Mhz - 75 euros

Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth P67 - 165 euros

GPU: MSI GTX 550 Ti Cyclone II OC - 135 euros

HDD: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black 7200rpm (WD1002FAEX) - 70 euros

DVD RW: LG GH22NS - 20 euros

PSU: Corsair TX 650W V2 - 80 euros

Monitor: LG E2260V - 150 euros

That's 860 euros, which leaves 40 euros for the case. I don't remember any mid tower from a decent brand with that price...I also know some of those components may be slightly above what needed so pelase sugggest others. Thanks

Do you know what kind of editing software he will use?

If he can afford it, the i7-2600k will be much better for video editing, also the Z68 motherboard allows for QuickSync (hardware processing to improve video encoding/decoding tasks). RAM is pretty cheap these days, for video editing it would be better to buy 8GB or 12GB 1333MHz RAM than 6GB 1600MHz.

If he will be using Photoshop or other CS5 apps, he should stick with NVIDIA GPUs, (much better than AMD for CS5 because they allow CUDA hardware processing for Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere tasks)

I don't know about the exchange rate, but the 2600k is around $315 and the cheapest Z68 motherboards are around $120 in the US.

here are a couple links that show which hardware is better for CS5 video editing (Premiere)
http://ppbm5.com/Benchmark5.html
http://ppbm5.com/Interpreting.html

AMD processors, like the Phenom II X6 and even dual hexa cores, like the Opteron 2431 are way outclassed by Intel i7 processors, because of the lacking SSE4.1 extensions that are extensively used in CPU intensive tasks. AMD CPU's are not advised for video editing.

Dual processor setups are regularly believed to be the best, especially with the X56xx series, but this test shows that in practice they are quite good at their task, but not better than the more affordable i7-980X. [NOTE: this was written before sandy bridge release, i7-2600k is best value for video editing)

Amount of memory has a major impact on performance now that CS5 is 64 bit.

Disk setup is regularly underestimated as having an impact on video editing performance, with the argument that a single disk is fast enough for almost any video stream, but in practice this is not true.
