    Phenom II build

    Well, I'm planning to use this computer for 3 years forward so I'm somehow imagining that the extra core would be good to have for the long haul...

    Phenom II build

    The Caviar Blacks have 5 year warranty? Taking note here. It also has a TDP of 125W (vs 95W for 810) which is something I'd like to avoid. I'd actually prefer something below 95W but didn't find any good offerings when I took a look.

    Phenom II build

    Phenom II build

    The difference from switching to DDR2 for me would be like $25-45. It's not much considering total system cost so I'm willing to take that for the small benefits it may give.

    Phenom II build

    Howdy. After 3½ years with my trusty Athlon X2 build I feel I have to get with the times. Internet, multimedia, hacking, playing rusty old games: CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 810 2.6Ghz Motherboard: Asus M4A78T-E (integrated graphics) Memory: 4GB DDR3 Crucial, choice between 1066Mhz Cl7 and...

    DDR3 1066MHz CL7 or DDR3 1333MHz CL9?

    flogge: That sounds logical, as far as I can tell. Mike seems to be of a different opinion... No ocing here.

    DDR3 1066MHz CL7 or DDR3 1333MHz CL9?

    Yo. I'm planning a new build here with a Phenom II X4 810. Price being equal, which of the two choices of RAM in the topic would be best? Thanks.

    Picking the right 24"-display

    I have a hard time seeing going from a good VA to a TN would leave me satisfied. How about the HP LP2465?
