Could also be an issue with Windows Firewall. You didn't mention your OS, but if you are on Windows 7 choosing a different network location, such as selecting "Public" instead of "Home" or "Work", will actually apply a different set of rules for Windows Firewall and it could be blocking the SC2 client. Could also have been an issue with your ISP. | ||

See this hierarchy chart: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html You can't compare the number because they're not from the same generation of cards. And even though the x1950 Pro is 2 generations older than the 4xxx series, x1950 Pro was a high-end card in that generation, whereas the HD 4250 is a super-low-end integrated graphics. Oh... woops. I thought it was from like 2003. XD | ||

If it does not happen again, I wouldn't worry too much. | ||

I don't really plan on doing any overclocking of any sort, just want something a little more up to date that can run recent games. Does anyone have any suggestions on how much I should be spending on what kind specs? | ||

Without a budget, no one can make suggestions. You can get the Radeon HD6870 which can run most games on reasonably high settings at 1080p or you can get a more expensive card such as the Radeon HD7870 or 7970 which will be capable of maxing a lot of games at 1080p. | ||

But yeah... and to be fair, while the GPU manufacturers may not be stupid, a lot of consumers are, so make sure you don't get too MUCH VRAM. There are plenty of cards on the market that just don't make sense, because bigger numbers are always better to buyers, and it's a great way to tack an extra $50 onto a price tag. | ||

If you want to run modern games, that would be plenty, particularly since there's less need for heavy AA (which would require more VRAM) when the monitor pixel density is higher. | ||

The question begs. Repeat, or to not repeat? The other possibility would be: Or just run a coax the full length (this coax line is completely unboosted though, so this solution will also require a booster). Whatever solution that is the best or cheapest is fine. I am a bit of a min/maxer so whatever gets me lower latency is best. My tolerance is 2ms. | ||

Cat 5 is rated for a maximum of 100 meters so you're actually okay. In fact, you're only at about 1/2 the maximum. | ||

Ive been experiencing some problems, some drops in my connection. At the source I get 3 channels and excellent signal strength. After 150ft of 1980's coaxial and a modern splitter I get 1 channel, and barely within standards power level and SNR. Because it is barely within standards, Cox doesnt want to touch me. They also don't officially support DOCSIS 3.0 After the splitter and with a modern short coax I get 3 channels and great SNR. So clearly the problem happens after the 150ft of coax. I'd really like to have all 3 channels. | ||

I'd really like to have all 3 channels. The spitter could be causing the signal to weaken, and therefore only causing the channel with the higher frequency to make it through (just guessing here) Either way, I think the first thing you should do is test the real speeds you are getting for up and down at both ends and determine if there is actually a significant speed difference. If there is, putting a routher at the modem end and extending 150 feet of cat5e should work. Though, keep in mind that if you have a connection speed of more than 100Mb down (probably not, but if you do) you will need a 10/100/1000 switch/router or you will still get reduced speeds. However, if there aren't many thick walls between the modem and the PC, I think going wireless would be a much better solution. 802.11n on the 2.5Ghz band is rated for distances of like 200ft indoors (approximating walls and such) and in an open environment can reach connectivity of over 500ft. Also supports data rates in excess of 100Mb/s I believe. -edit: cat 5e is apparently rated to 60 degrees celcius so you should be okay, but I'm wondering about those high temperatures. Are you running this between buildings?? | ||
