    Researching PC to be purchased in October/November

    By October/November, you might be able to build the same configuration for $1000 less ... However, start looking for deals on technology that doesn't change as quickly (case, monitor, PSU, keyboard/mouse, optical drives, cooling, sound card) and save the components that are more susceptible...

    Graduation Present: $600 Budget Computer Build

    First off, thanks for your reply. :) I'm still stuck on which processor to choose. It's between the E4300 or E6320. I don't know if the E6320 is worth the extra $48.50. I'll go with the G.Skill 2GBNQ. The AC F7 Pro is $19.50 + $9.63 (shipping) = $29.13. I saw it a few weeks ago for $22...

    Athlon 64 X2 as good for multitasking as HT?

    True ... A X2 3800+ at 2.6 is equivalent to a X2 4800+, which is 2 x 4000+. A 64 4000+ can easily take on a P4 3.6 in most single threaded applications. When you add the second core, it obliterates the P4. There is really no comparison between the two, let alone any processor out there that...

    The booting problems are arbitrary and don't occur all the time. I tried restarting a couple more times, and it was successful once ... Since the successful start, I have not tampered with any settings/drivers. I will await suggestions on what to do next to resolve this issue.

    ATI card problems

    I just got a Connect3D X700 Pro today and just popped it in. I installed the card properly and installed the drivers which came along with the retail box. Next, I ran 3DMark05, but it abruptly quit after the first test where it said that the graphics card is not accepting commands and it had to...

    Best suggested AMD CPU for gaming performance.

    If all you do is game, then go for the FX57. If you intend run multimedia applications as well as game, then go for the X2 4800+. IMO, the X2 is a better buy than the FX57. You won't notice the difference between the frame rates anyways ... Besides the dual cores will last in the long run ...
