No worries. I did the exact same thing with my Extreme4 and 2400Mhz RAM. I tried for about a month to get them booting at that speed before I thought to update BIOS Glad you got it working

If he were going DVI-to-VGA, that would be my first thought, but HDMI shouldn't have any signal compatibility issues.

With laptops around $1000, I think the most important spec is resolution. 1920x1080. I wouldn't go for anything less at the price you're paying. After that, I'd be looking for an i7 and preferably an SSD. RAM can be added for cheap...

I have found Ripjaws to overclock (albeit, not by very much) a little better than the Vengeance line. It could have just been my experience. I would also say that I felt no noticeable difference between 2400Mhz ram and 1600Mhz ram. I...

I would suggest overclocking the cards separately to finding the max of each. Even though they are the same model, they'll likely have different max OCs.

With one of the 6950s I had a while back, certain ports were disabled when the BIOS switch was in one of the two positions. Does yours have a switch? Could just be bad ports? For the border issue, look for an "Overscan" option...

I too have noticed a decreasing lack of interest in gaming. I'll still play sometimes, but it just doesn't hold me in like it used to. I'm sure some company will come out with a drug for that

There are Z77 boards which allow (2) 16x lanes, but the most common config is still two 8x.

I'm sure there are others that are good. I wouldn't go with a free one. I've had some terrible experiences. Deleted accounts. Lost files. $30-40 a year is pretty cheap. I would look for something in that range.
