EPTTwo quick questions:
1/ GIGABYTE GA-M68MT-S2P - Is this motherboard compatible with the newer Intel CPUs?
2/ What would be a good Intel CPU upgrade for a FX-4100 if power was sufficient in the range of 200-300 dollars?

You can not use an Intel processor with an AMD motherboard. If you would be willing to spend around $350 then an Intel 3570K on a Z77 motherboard would be a great combination for you. | ||

Sony xperia V: Does it support flash and how good is the battery? (Xperia V specs <- I couldn't find the answer here) (not sure if you deal with phone here... Can't hurt to ask though) | ||

I've tried googling but have found nothing to fix my issue (almost everything relates to wireless mouse, which isn't my case, razer imperator with logitech illuminated keyboard). eventvwr didn't reveal anything at all so i guess it's either an issue with my motherboard or the peripherials, I got all drivers installer for my mobo also. Screwing me up so much.... can't play anymore, happens as much as once per minute to once every 2 hours at the least. Any ideas? (exept googling more^^ still trying to find an answer there, but doesn't sound promising) | ||

Can't hurt to ask though) Adobe has stopped supporting Flash for Android, so it won't be available through regular channels. You can, however, still download the last version of the Flash player for Android from Adobes website and install it manually. But, especially for mobile devices, Flash is quickly on the way out. I wouldn't know about the battery life of this phone. It's a rather new phone, so there isn't that much in terms of indepth reviews yet. | ||

Would the FX-8300 series be a decent alternative to the i5-intel at the moment if I don't want to change my motherboard? | ||

I found an earlier Xperia (P, i think) with both Flash and JavaSprict support and was thus confused why this newer topend didn't seem to have it. Is HTML5 the only thing needed from a mobile device going forward or what? | ||

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202011 Is 99 with the rebate so if you dont mind the $20 increase you can get a really significant bump in performance here. It also comes with a game coupon, well for a better game anyway. Kinda. Feel free to browse. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/541?vs=536 Again it depends on what you want to play and how much you value $20. | ||

Thanks for the responses, I'll change to an Intel eventually. I have the XFX 7970 Double Dissipation version with two DVI ports. However, only one of them (top one) is working and the other one (bottom) will not accept my second monitor (it is vga with a DVI adapter). If I use the second monitor on the top one, it will work just fine. Is there a solution to this or do I have to buy a vga to display port or a vga to HDMI to use multiple monitors? | ||

Feel free to browse. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/541?vs=536 Again it depends on what you want to play and how much you value $20. In retrospect I have to fully warn against the 550ti. If I am not mistaken some 550ti's are made in the 2.1 PCI-e standard while that motherboard might be a legacy 1.1 PCI-e standard. Almost all of the PCI-e standards are fully backwards and forwards compatible (including 3.0 to 2.1 and 1.1). HOWEVER it would seem that SOME 2.1 PCI-e cards will not work with ALL 1.1 legacy motherboards. This is almost the only incompatibility in the market, and some board makers have since provided BIOS updates for legacy users. In my particular personal encounter with this, my manufacturer had no BIOS update, when I tried to use a 5830 on a 1.1 board, it could not be done. Additionally, adding to the confusion, not all cards are made along the same PCI-e standard. As my 5770 was 2.0 (and worked fine) and the 5830 was 2.1 (did not work at all). The cards were both tested on another machine that ran PCI-e 2.0, and they both worked fine. After contacting a lot of support, it would seem that MSI 5830's were PCI-e 2.0. Making this the first time I have ever encountered a scenario where manufacturer actually mattered besides cooling, noise, heat, looks, warranty, and price. | ||
