    Why use virtualisation in a scenario where everything could run on one server anyway?

    One big benefit is Fault Tolerance: A VM can run from two physical hosts such that if one host has a hardware failure, the VM will keep running and not fail.

    Should I RMA my CPU?

    Thanks for all your help everyone. Asus replaced my motherboard, and my system works perfectly now. I'm glad I followed your advice not to RMA the CPU just yet. A bit lame though that it took 2 RMAs to fix my issue, but I'm happy.

    Should I RMA my CPU?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I tested my friend's AX750 on my system with working RAM, working GPU and still no luck. I double checked the serial number on my motherboard and realized that Asus returned the original unit to me. Maybe they found nothing wrong with it or were able to...

    Should I RMA my CPU?

    I'll try switching PSUs when I get my friend to loan me his, thanks for the feedback. Although.. I performed the paper clip test on my PSU and it seems ok, could it still be at fault?

    Should I RMA my CPU?

    gaming keyboard advice needed

    Steelseries 6GV2 is mechanical, but is not loud. It uses black keys (which give a bit more resistance, but are not clicky like the blue keys that a lot of other mechanical keyboards use). It's built like a tank and I like it very much

    laptop gaming gpu

    Laptop GPUs cannot be removed from their logic boards. Usually the only two things you can upgrade with laptops are RAM and HDD

    $150 Video card search

    Nice, you'll love it. A single 460 can run Crysis 2 maxed (not that that's a big achievement, but it's not bad lol), Starcraft 2 maxed out, and.. handle everything else pretty okay. :) Only games a single 460 has trouble with for me are Crysis 1 and Metro 2033.

    Any recommendation for a new laptop?

    Get a 13" MBP if you're 100% sure you don't need gaming. Photoshop runs well (I don't edit 30MP images, but people who do have their workstations for such tasks...). It's very light, and the battery life is really really really good.

    Best gaming keyboard

    You are the man. A couple weeks ago I asked you about good mechanical keyboards and you recommended me the Steelseries 6gv2. I've been playing games and doing work on it for around a week so far and I LOVE it. Thanks!

    MAC vs Gaming PCs

    If you need a laptop for school or work purposes, get a good Mac for around $1600. If you just want a robust gaming/all-around desktop, you can build a *really* good one for also around $1600.

    Well I have a busy night tonight...

    I highly recommend this guide: http://www.techreaction.net/2010/09/07/3-step-overclocking-guide-lynnfield/ Key idea is to patiently max one setting at a time, running stress tests for stability.
