    2 Cards better than 1 for 4 or more monitors?

    Thanks Scata, Yeah the redundancy argument is hard to ignore. If one of the cards go out (less likely than 2 at the same time), you can fall back on the other. Ok, so my next question would be, I'd really like to 2 pick SILENT, passively cooled cards to run 4 screens. But Dell and HP have...

    2 Cards better than 1 for 4 or more monitors?

    http://www.multiplemonitors.co.uk/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-multi-monitor-graphics-cards/ You guys agree with the above? WinstonTJ, Scata, other hardware wizes? The author says he prefers NVDA GT 730, but it's not clear if he's referring to a passively cooled/modified one? Thanks, M1

    Nvidia replacement for Radeon 6850

    Only now I'm starting to doubt the card again. When I booted up today, one of the screens just went dark. Tried restarting, same problem. Tried shutdown and restart, same thing. Finally I did what I did last time this happened, which was to try unplugging and plugging back the cables to the card...

    Nvidia replacement for Radeon 6850

    Thanks everyone for posting. Lovethetrade, I think you're onto something here. I have been having issues with CHKDSK for a couple of days now starting at boot time, so I'm going down that rabbit trail...

    Nvidia replacement for Radeon 6850

    Thanks Robert. Have you bought refurbished graphic cards from newegg? Is "refurbished" generally reliable?

    Nvidia replacement for Radeon 6850

    Hi all, So this Radeon 6850 has been terrible since purchase and it's been 4 years now. It would crash regularly in the beginning and now it's starting to act up differently: one of my 4 Dell 1905 screens would not come back after going into hibernation which led me to get rid of hibernation...

    Japan Spirals into Bankruptcy?

    FHL, Good paper, Silvia Ardagna is now at GS... The LDP pushed for a sales tax increase a couple of years ago, hoping to achieve a primary surplus (balanced budget excluding debt servicing/interest payments) by 2020. The real end goal is to avoid a sovereign credit downgrade however... One...

    Guess health insurance premiums are going to skyrocket

    Fear not my friends, the CPI shows only a 3% increase for medical care... http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SAM?output_view=pct_12mths http://www.milliman.com/mmi/ "Over the 10-year period ending March 2016, CPI-medical has increased by approximately 3.2% per year, while the MMI has...

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    Reading comprehension must not have been your forte in school... No, the other items beside "sales" are not typos but instead general categories, which as I've explained to you but you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge, have precise items behind them. Look, I can play this stupid game with you...

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    Yeah I was expecting you to spit out this nonsense. Let's take a look at the construction of the NAR's 'affordability index' http://www.realtor.org/topics/housing-affordability-index/methodology What do we find? First epic logical fail: "The calculation assumes a down payment of 20 percent...

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    So you are indeed referring to this claim which uses NAR data? "For example, according to the National Association of Realtors, between 1983 and 2007 the monthly principal and interest payment required to purchase a median-priced existing home in the United States rose by 79 percent, much less...

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    I didn't ask for papers in my prior question. I asked for data. What data support your claim that "the cost of housing as captured by the monthly principal and mortgage interest payments, you would get a lower number than what's shown by the OER method in CPI over large periods of time." ? Or...

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    I will get to the rest of your post later, but for now, on the basis of what data do you offer the above claim? Also, what is "large periods of time"?

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    No, you either missed what I said in response to this unfounded charge or you haven't been reading. Either way, you need to pay attention and get your head out of the clouds and down to earth. See #43 on page 5 of this thread where I said: "It is obvious that the "sales" is a typo, when...

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    Again as per my earlier post, pointing to 3-4 items that you have a problem with in a index of 500 proves nothing but your a priori bias. A reasonable person would not make a big deal about less than 1% of an index, but instead would note the few items and seek to find out what they are exactly...

    Yes more free money for Japan... Trillions of yen for everyone

    Ok, let's use your example, which his 3% a year for a 60% increase in 20 years. The CPI in the US reported in 2013 that the price of a new car had risen by 46% since 1983, that would be 1.5% per year. Your example has it at DOUBLE that. Given that the Honda Civic is the quintessential average...
