My g600 has started to die today after 3 years of cat hair and dirt. Whats the best replacement that fits in my gorilla hands, and has a nice bit of buttons on it?

>>56221666
wait for the logitech g pro, or get a g502

unless you need the mmo buttons, just get another g600

Pancakes, French toast is the bastardized version for the poor and allows for a lesser variety of flavors.

I know fuck-all about monitors but need a new one because my old one is all flickery. I don't play games but use it to read things and program. Can someone PLEASE tell me what the better buy between these two monitors is. They're around $100 mark and the price diff between them is $10. Both are made by LG.

Monitor #1:
>22" Widescreen LED Monitor 1920 x 1080, 5ms GtG, Response TimeBrightness: 200cd/m2

Monitor #2 (extra $20):
>24" TN Widescreen LED Monitor, 1920x1080,5ms , BrightnessContrast Ratio: 1000:1

So, while #2 is 2" bigger, it's the same resolution.

Which of the two would you pick?

>>56221737
i can't tell anything without model numbers

>>56221737

Would you like watching 1080p on a tiny 13'' monitor? Size matters too and 2'' diagonally are noticeable. Also, it has the sick Twisted Nematic panels for better refresh rate and shit. Don't be cheap with something that you'll be using for years, $20 is literally a meal.

>>56221737
Option #3, for $40 extra is this:

LG 22MP58VQ
>22" 60Hz 5ms IPS LED Monitor
Also by LG.

So, which of the 3 is best?


>>56221777
#1: LG 22M38D
#2: LG 24M38D-B

Good point. I'm just worried about increase in pixel size.

What about this IPS 22"?

>>56221784
Good point. I'm just worried about increase in pixel size. Bigger screen, same rez = larger pixels.

Is there a weight limit for Amazon Prime Now, or can I really buy like 100 pounds of potatoes and make the guy lug them out to my place?

>>56221789
if you're gonna spend that much get this

ASUS VN248H-P

friend bought that, witnessed it first hand, colors were fucking insane out of the box. 24" 5ms ips panel, speakers aren't too bad, especially if you plan on using it for a console or something at any point.

Writing my first javascript.
I'm converting algorithms from other languages.
What is wrong with this code, ? ?

while (!(done)){
while (leftmark<=rightmark && lst[leftmark]<=pivotvalue){
leftmark+=1;
}

// and so on

>>56221838
>ASUS VN248H-P
That one is a bit more expensive. I like prices of these cheaper LGs.

Hmm.. so what are the diff's between TN, IPS and "plain" LED screens?

>>56221866
TN is 'faster' with worse color reproduction, the panels are cheaper which makes it easy to get 1080p 23"~ monitors for like 80$ on a good day.

IPS monitors have superior color reproduction, and wide viewing angles (meaning no color warping at weird angles, if your monitor is anywhere other than on a flat plane with your eyes). they tend to be slower in response time but at 60hz they can be just as fast as regular tn panels

never really read into led as a display but i assume response time is faster and they use less power so i can't give you an accurate description there

if the others are around 100, and one's 10 more, and the other is 40 more than that, you might as well get the vn248h-p lol

>>56221898
Thanks bro! That LG IPS is on sale at BestBuy so the price is probably a lot lower than that Asus. I think I just might go for it. It's 22" (not 24" like that other TN one) but it's IPS.

>>56221912
22" vs 24" isn't too big of a deal. you get more pixel density, maybe the monitor is smaller but you still have the same real estate on your screen otherwise. you also save a bit of space on your desk.

when you get it make sure the first thing you do is check for dead/stuck pixels.

sounds good, hope you enjoy

I have a stupid question;
I'm preparing for a clean install of W10 on my new PC but I'm wondering..are gifs supported in Windows Photo Viewer yet? And if not, what does /g/ recommend using? If I need to install something just to view gifs, I want it to be as lightweight and well integrated as possible.

>>56222087

>>56221010

Also people explained LED wrong. It's just an additional feature most lcd's have these days, regardless of whether they are tn or IPS, and it really doesn't matter to you.

>>56221666
Another G600, or possibly a Roccat Nyth, but I can never find enough reviews on the Nyth to see if it's worth the price.

Another question; what duplicate image finder does /g/ use?
I've used lots but all of them kinda sucked in some way. Usually the UI isn't very user friendly.

I want to make my retarded youtube channel into something semi serious and I was thinking about doing the niche of linux, but specifically gaming.

I had a distro before but switched to windows for gaming convenience but I just want to do something I will enjoy and maybe earn some cash and do some "reviews" or quick looks and that.

Is Ubuntu still the most used distro and if so, would it be best for this endeavor? Any recommedations for recording, editing, and audio software? Is this even a good idea?

How should I go about getting Windows Updates after a clean install of Win7 Ultimate with SP1 faster? The thing takes literally forever trying to find the updates.

>>56222555
That's because it's already installing Win10 in the background.

>>56222555

You are a retard for not looking that up by yourself. It will never end because it's a bug in SP1, you need to download a fix thing manually and then it will work.

What's the difference between a 720 and 1080 video file?
I'm I just compared them side by side and they look the same. I tried it by decreasing the window size and looking at them side by side and I took a picture of both in full screen. Looks the same to me. Is it because my screen is too small? I'm on a 15.6in laptop, but the screen's resolution goes up to 1920x1080

>>56222555
You need three updates to do it properly:

support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3138612
microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=47351

and the most recent monthly "update rollup", in this case August-

What's a good way to improve the grip on my mouse? The sides have this soft touch coating that makes it hard to pick up. I put some electrical tape where my fingers are on the mouse and while it made the mouse infinitely easier to pick up, it looks a bit ghetto.

My android phone has a virus that prevents me from unlocking the screen. I want to connect to my laptop to save my photos and videos before factory resetting. Is there a chance the virus could spread to my pc? It has ESET AV. Would using a VM prevent this?

>>56222744
>Is there a chance the virus could spread to my pc
Doubt it

>>56222744
Android and windows are two completely different operating systems

>>56222744
It's unlikely it would spread. That would have to be some mondo good coding on their part. Just scan whatever comes through when you're done. Also if you've unlocked your bootloader a factory reset might not be enough.

When I switch tabs in Chrome, occasionally the previous tab will stay on the screen. Sometimes the mouse icon will change into some weird streak/lines and other times whole portions of my screen will appear to be black and white lines, which look like the top of characters. Is something going wrong with my computer? I've also noticed that sometimes when I update Windows, the screen just dissolves into a glitched mess and promptly crashes upon booting.

In OpenSUSE KDE when I would copy a file, if I pasted in a terminal it would paste the file path. If I pasted in a folder it would paste the file in the folder.
How do I get the copy-file-paste-filename-in-terminal function in Debian LXDE? I don't know what it's called but it's mighty easier than right click copy path.

I'm going to be taking a class starting next week that will teach C++.
I just installed xubuntu and I'm pretty sure the class is going to be using MIcrosoft Visual Studio. Is there an alternative?

>>56222859
No, a flesh eating virus would have no possible way of impacting a car. A virus on a smartphone would just need to manipulate the file sharing protocols over usb in such a way that it could run code on the pc. It would be tricky, and probably not worth the effort at this point, but may very well be possible if enough motivation was there

I have a Thinkpad T400 with an Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB of RAM. I can play Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 just fine with high settings. There's one other game I want to play which is Call of Duty World at War. It was so laggy (even with the lowest settings) that I couldn't get through the first level. I'm wondering if an external GPU would help or if it's just a meme. I was looking at this since then games I play are from 2009 and before.

Thanks in advance.

>>56223602
>I'm wondering if an external GPU would help or if it's just a meme
It depends on the connector
PCI E is sub par but isn't a meme, you'll want a second monitor for maximum results

>>56223644
Why a second monitor? Can I just use the one I already have and shut the laptop lid as usual while connected to the dock? Most importantly, will it stop my game from lagging, or at least make it playable?

looking for a cheap second monitor and found a HP Compaq LA2405wg for <$100

how jarring will it be as a second screen considering my main screen is 1920x1080 24" LED backlit 2ms response time

>>56223290

>Can I run ubuntu on vmware on windows and can i download stuff?

>Will it save on there?
Where? It can save inside the virtual machine, on a partition/folder shared by the VM and host system, or on the host system itself (not recommended)

>Can I watch videos on there?
Yes

>Is it slower compared to booting up the OS rather than windows?

It can cause instability.

I have a bunch of podcast subscriptions on iTunes on my home PC, I want to sync this with the iTunes on my work PC. I thought it would just happen if I signed into my iTunes account, but apparently not, and I'm struggling to find any setting for it. Is there a way to do this in iTunes that I'm just missing? If not then I guess I'll just give up, I don't care enough to mess about with third party apps or whatever.

I'm trying to understand a little bit about MXM graphics cards. I have a Clevo D900F which currently has a GTX 480M and would like to know if I can install a beefier newer GPU inside.

Mostly because the CPU is a i7-980x and screen is a 1920x1200 and I'd hate to give up on a perfectly adequate machine just because the GPU is dated.

Why is newegg recommended the most for buying computers online, is it because it's the cheapest or do they have decent customer service with their warrenty and return/exchange policies? Would I be shooting myself in the foot if I bought something from ebay instead?

>>56224952
the issue with eBay is you dont have the same level of accountability. You might have to jump through a hoop or two to contest the condition of an item if it isn't what you thought but with Newegg returns and RMAs are as simple as any other store.

Plus Newegg you can see customer reviews of products and eBay you can really only see reviews of them as a seller.

Shit ton of other things you can do if you want to go the extra mile.

If I take a hard drive out of an antistatic bag, check it works with a SATA to USB, am I ok to put it back in the bag until I need it?

I'm doing a thing and I need to check if this hard drive works, because it was poorly packaged.

>>56225051
Shouldn't be a problem unless you physically damage it somehow.

>>56225051
You mean does the bag still protect it? Sure. Shelf life? Maybe a decade.

>>56224939
Yes you can, but you also need to check if your clevo has any whitelist shit that'd disable you from using anything different than your current GPU. Also keep in mind that the cooling solution you already have may not fit the new MXM GPU you'll find.

I once installed debian and I couldn't install shit because everything came from sources that weren't OK in their book and I couldn't get anything done because I have no idea how root access works.
Should I try something easier like Ubuntu?

Once around here I was asking about tips for making Win10 as secure as possible, and somebody suggested using a Windows guest account (and many other things of course)
Can anyone explain why this would be safer?

>>56225099
Yeah just use ubuntu or a ubuntu derivative like ubuntu mate or mint.
In debian you need to sign in to root, with ubuntu you attach sudo to your command and then sign in real fast or it persists in that terminal sessions; I'm not sure

>>56225127

you can't make windows 10 "safer" from within the operating system, you need an external firewall, if you give a shit then use windows 7 or 8.1 stock RTM iso (plenty available on torrent sites or from microsoft directly if you have a genuine key) and don't install the updates that contain telemetry (or remove them afterwards but naturally it's better to just not install them in the first place)

all these shitty tools and guides floating around that promise to block or fix telemetry don't take into account the always on updates that can (and have done) revert settings and introduce new telemetry, and the tools are always shady as shit

I built my first new pc last night. My pc has the following specs:
Asus H110 m-k

Intel i5 6500
Kingston Savage DDR4 2133 MHz CL13
WD Caviarl Blue 1TB
Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB SSD
Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze
Cooler Master N200

I've just rum the BIOS multiple times and I've already upgraded the BIOS to the latest version. Everything works fine. I'm going to install Windows 10 Home soon, but I'm wondering what drivers I should get for my components. I'm thinking about Nvidia's latest driver for GTX1060 and Samsung Magician for the SSD. Is there anything else I should consider to install?

>>56225129
>In debian you need to sign in to root
No. The installer gives you the option to use sudo instead, or in addition to a root user account.

FFmpeg question

I have a video file with a video track and an audio track and I want to add a song on top of that. I want the output file to have a single video track and a single audio track. In the audio track you must be able to listen to both the original audio and the song. I also want to be able to control the volume of the song or the original audio, or both of them.

ffmpeg -i "video.webm" -i "song.mp3" ^
-filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" ^
-c:v copy -c:a libvorbis -qscale:a 0 -ac 2 -shortest -y output.webm

That does what I want except for the volume part I can't seem to be able to control the volume of either the original audio or the song I'm adding in. I've tried asking Google, but none of the thing I found have worked so far.

Why not just watch hentai if you like anime girls so much?

I really don't see the fucking point.

>>56225518
It's not the same.
When girls kiss they're usually cute friends, and it's pretty vanilla and heartwarming.
But in hentai it's just disgusting. I don't wanna see that gross shit.

Anyone here selling Wordpress themes? I'm looking for ways to make some money on the side (and eventually living that way, why not). I'm a decent front-end dev with quite a lot of experience of Wordpress and PHP, already did themes from scratch for clients and they usually are very satisfied.

I know I have the capabilities to make some great work, but I wonder of how possible it actually is to get into selling items on websites like Themeforest for example (or any similar marketplace).

Any feedback on your experiences and advice are welcomed.

The fact that it's hentai is what makes it gross.

Also the shows aren't always that bad. Some of them are pretty fun.

the file is just a container. The actual coded of the video track is what's giving you problems.
Your best choice is to reencode you chinese cartoons into an older codec.

I have an 850 EVO 250 GB, but I want to expand. Should I get a cheap HDD (like, 1TB), save my money to get another 250 GB SSD later, or save even harder to get a 500 GB one in a few months?

So I'm gonna start out by saying I'm not that familiar with speakers and audio stuff. I got my hands on a Pioneer VSX-520-K Receiver, two front speakers, and a center speaker. I hooked everything up and it works fine, except my audio manager (Realtek Audio Manager) doesn't detect my center speaker.
Currently I have my PC hooked up to the receiver via aux cord, so I'm not sure if that's a reason why it's not detecting it.

tl;dr Audio manager not detecting center speaker, i would like it to. Also, are there other audio managers that I could use? Or am I stuck with Realtek.

I should also state that my center speaker is working, just that the audio manager doesnt see it as a center speaker.
When i click the center speaker (circled) no sound comes out of it.

>>56226172
I know that.
What are the older codecs that I should use?

for a total of: 511€

Some guy on reddit said that all looked okay but he doubted the PSU.Is there any danger to getting a non popular brand PSU?

I salvaged some parts from an old laptop and am planning to mount everything in pic related on to a wall as it is (i will probably remove the plastic around the monitor as well, it is currently on to protect the delicate bits underneath)

my question is: are there any electrical hazards i should take into account? i am planning on having the power cord plugged in for most of the day if not all day; is there anything i should know about using a completely exposed computer for long periods of time before trying it?

I have a tablet with a microsd slot but it doesn't close all the way, which makes my SD card pop out constantly.

Is there anything I should try doing with this to keep it shut? I have been using a hairtie wrapped across to keep it closed but that's about as dumb looking as it sounds.

>>56224706
Electrical contact cleaner. You can use parts cleaner, but you have to be quick to clean it off with alcohol because parts cleaner will eat the plastic parts.

>>56226546

It generally looks good.

The SSD is pretty good, but the general opinion is that the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB is a bit better (and a bit more expensive probably).

Double-check the HDD, some caviar blues are rebranded greens, which may or may not be what you want.

Speaking of storage, you do have the option to skip the HDD and save money and/or get a better SSD. You can add the HDD in the future.

Your mobo supports only up to 2133mhz ram. Your RAM will work, but at a slightly lower speed. You might be able to find 2133 ram for slightly cheaper (it's not that it will make a difference in the end, it's just that you're not getting everything you're paying for).

I can't find much info about your psu, but Aerocool has a bad rep. Regardless, you should be able to find something like the evga 500b/600b or the Seasonic 520 S12II or M12II which are common recommendations for the price range. And yes, a bad PSU can take the rest of your build with it. In any case, according to a quick online calculation, your rig might never even reach 350W in consumption.

X220 because you can get a IPS screen.

>>56227251

Just checked something, this mobo has a dvi port, so make sure your monitor can be connected and you have a cable, if you're going to wait until you get the GPU.

It's not that necessary, but if you do consider a better mobo, besides socket compatibility, make sure that it fits in your case (it takes up to mATX), and that it actually supports ddr4 (there are still some ddr3 skylake mobos). And the monitor port. These details are not being talked about very often and are easy to miss (ouch).

Windows gets updates no matter what, but it's not permanently activated. All the windows 10 "cracks" just sign you up for trials, then keep renewing them.

Recently I've noticed a medium-level noise coming from inside my desktop case. I had recently dealt with a wire lightly grazing the CPU fan and assumed it was happening again. Nope. After a bit of lazy investigation I discovered it was my GPU fan this time. One of the two seem to be wobbling slightly and rotating at what appear to be a slower speed. Plus every few seconds, for just an instant, it slows down even further before picking up the pace again.

Does this sound like a dying fan or an easy fix? It's a 6950 so I'm practically begging for an excuse to upgrade but in the meantime my GPU runs at ~80c if I don't manually crank the fans up to 75%. I'd buy a new GPU now but the prices are stupid and stock nonexistant.

The memory seems to pass all the tests except the rowhammer test but this doesn't mean the memory is faulty right and just has the the very special case vulnerability? As in muh video games and desktop applications shouldn't be freezing the system because of it right?

That's real annoying, the combined start menu looks so fucking messy.

Thanks, although not being able to have the randomly chosen lock screen image is kind of annoying too.

What the fuck is wrong with Microsoft.

Ok, just ignorant so I worry. Min of 50% seems good for me, when I play games it goes to the max. I think the default was 5% and that seems way too low.

Perfect response, I didn't even think about a usb 3 patch. Much appreciated

Do you have greasemonkey or any other firefox addons?

I've got two questions.
1. How can I torrent my chinese cartoons if my university will take administrative action if they catch me torrenting on dorm wifi? Do I just get my own internet connection or should I do something else?

2. I can't figure out how to use KDevelop. The only other IDE I've used was jGRASP and all this crap I have to do to run my program goes straight over my head.

>>56228853
Private internet access or a seedbox

>>56224194
Anyone?

>1. How can I torrent my chinese cartoons if my university will take administrative action if they catch me torrenting on dorm wifi? Do I just get my own internet connection or should I do something else?

Get a VPN, install a client torrent on a server and download them in HTTP, they usually wont see it.

Posted this in the Linux general but no response. I'm running Mint and the wifi won't connect if it requires a username and password. It works fine if it only needs a password, but when it needs both it just gets stuck at "Connecting" forever.

>>56228363
help?

>>56228915
Does it connect to other wifi networks? Maybe try a different networking package.

Sometimes. Microsoft tries to fuck up their system so libre can't copy it, and libre tries there damndest to make it work anyway. So it's hit or miss.

Anyone know if an r9 290X will benefit from dx12?
Just bought deus ex and I'm running it at medium settings with ~50fps average, but I'm hoping that my performance increases with the dx12 patch in September.

I'm switching to CenturyLink and need to buy a DSL modem. Should I get just any model? Only getting a 25Mb/s connection.

So I recently moved across the country, and unfortunately, the house I'm currently renting doesn't have coax outs upstairs, for whatever reason. Because of this, until I find a more permanent solution, I can't hardwire my desktop to the internet, so I'm stuck using a wireless USB adapter.

So very shortly after moving in, I purchased this :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_6BjVxb1GJ5AMH

It works ok I guess, but I do get randomly disconnected, and sometimes get massive lag spikes. Now can I assume this is because I bought an adapter that's relatively cheap? Or is this just to be expected when my desktop isn't hardwired? If it's the former, can anyone recommend some really good USB adapters for me to look at? Price isn't too much of an issue, but I'd prefer not to spend too much on it if possible, I just want something more reliable

>>56229519
WIreless lags and disconnects are due to interference. RF intereferences are common in apartments due to phones/microwave/other wifis/etc.

Look into ethernet over powerline. Those are much more stable and similar to real line.

>>56229519
Change it for something with better antennas. Get an ethernet cable ASAP.

Will I run into any problems only using Midori and Lynx as my browsers?

>>56229542
No, silly, a shadowban ;))

>>56229520
Probably something like HotKeyNet. It multicasts your mouse/key to other computers. Might require bit of setup to effectively set it up.

Any dx12 that uses async shaders/compute will give huge benefits to AMD cards like that. 290X is basically R9 390/390X, so if you see those benchmarks, consider similar range of performance.

>>56229655
Thank you for the answer.
Hopefully once the dx12 patch gets released I'll be able to play on high settings.

Kay kinda wierd one but

is there anyway to see the total amount of space being used in a folder? Counting all files in that folder as well as all subfolders and folders in the subfolders ect.

I tested to see if properties of the main folder showed it but the number changes if I dump out a subfolder into the main folder (deleting the old one of course)

Help a dumb inept guy out please.

I very recently moved from Europe to the US.
I decided to take my PC with me, as it didn't cost me that much and it has value.
However, I couldn't take a monitor so I decided I'd buy one here.


When I came here I was really worried that the scanning at the airport damaged the components so i've been trying to hook it up with a tv using an HDMI cable but to no avail.


After that I picked up some shitty 15$ screen at a local pawn shop but it's VGA and didn't seem to work.

TL;DR, I'm trying to figure out if my graphic card can ONLY be connected to the kind of cable shown on the left picture.

If that's the case, what's the name/kind of that cable ?

What kind of monitors are compatible with that sort of cable ?

I bought some new RAM but they are a bit taller than my old ones. I have a mini ITX mobo and a Hyper 212 EVO so it's a very tight fit. Anyway, I had to raise the fan on the EVO by maybe 5mm to fit the new RAM since the cooler is directly above one of the two slots. Will this effect the cooling in any way?

>>56229835
DVI, can get dvi to hdmi pretty cheap.

>>56229835
The cable on the left is a DVI cable off the top of my head yes the only type of output that 960 can give is DVI/HDMI/Display port, if you're adamant on using the screen you can just get a DVI to VGA cable.

>>56221500
Single 4k or two 2560x1440 monitors to connect to my notebook? Not for gaming, mostly programming (the bottleneck is onboard intel hd 4600)

>>56229880
Passive DVI to VGA will only work if the card supports analog over DVI, which is uncommon on recent cards.

>>56229898
Neither. You're expecting a hell of a lot from integrated graphics, even with all the progress intel has made. I would expect one 2k to be the maximum.

>>56229880
>>56229902
>>56229902
Thanks dudes. I have a good tv available, I might be able to figure it out but if not I'm looking to buy a screen with said supported ports ?

>>56229375
>>56229645
someone can answer?

>>56230021
480 or 1060.

>>56229941
actually I know that with the same configuration I have, using the 4k is quite smooth experience.

>>56230041
thanks, looks like a 1060 is what I'm looking for

I have an unnecessary folder leading into another folder with about 700gbs of stuff in it, is there an easy way to move it up a folder without cut/pasting it for 3 hours

>>56221500
Is it possible to get a virus just by plugging a external HD in your computer, or just browsing by its folders, without executing any program?

What means that a motherboard is sli capable?
It's only a elegant way to say "we have two or more PCI-e x16 slots"?

So I ordered this card and tried to install it, only to realize I needed a PCi-e connector to my psu.
https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814127935

But everywhere I look, the cables do not seem to match the same holes that the card has. Am I just retarded and any cable should work fine [spoiler]which is very likely the case[/spoiler] or am I just looking at the wrong type of cables?

>>56230148
Why i5 4460 over i5 6400?

Do you not want DDR4 ram?

>>56230379
I have limited buy options in where I orde
what's the difference between ddr3 and 4 in ram? does it matter?
the kingstone in the build is ddr3 I think
1600Mhz 1.5v

>>56229253
Boku no Pico

>>56230176
If you're cut/pasting within the same partition it should be almost instant.

>>56230232
Yes, although since security has been tightened up on autorun it's less likely

>>56230235
No, sli and crossfire both require a motherboard to have additional tech built in to work.

>>56230320

We don't use spoilers here.

>>56230457
DDR3 is limited to max of about 2133 Mhz or so.

DDR4 can reach close to 4000mhz.

Its a cheap alternative to expensive GPU for quick performance. 1600mhz ddr3 and 3000 mhz ddr4 can be more than 50% difference in certain games.

>>56230518
Sorry I don't come to /g/ often, just thought I'd ask a question.

>>56230541
>2133

>>56230518
>Yes, although since security has been tightened up on autorun it's less likely

Thank you!

>>56230541
but the 4gb has 1600 mhz anyways

isn't 4 gb ram enough for games anyways? should I get 8?

Wow I had never even heard of this before, but ethernet over powerline seems like it's just what I need. So I'm assuming this will give me much faster / more consistent speeds? As long as it's better than the USB adapter I'm definitely willing to buy one and give it a try. Any personal recommendations on manufacturers or specific models I should look at?

>>56230972
It's not a miracle but if your wiring's decent you should get a reasonable connection.
