    Building a photo editing pc

    If you really truly want to cheap out you can run photoshop CS3 or 4 on a single core processor and ddr or 3200 ram. Many times you will experience some slowdown, but it is definately possible. I do freelance work at home on a low end system ( not my main system mind you) and its doable.

    Hey look its another "Help me with a core i5 build" thread :p

    Right on. Ive been running a 2.2ghz single core and an AGP graphics card for around 5 years so at this point anything in this case is going to blow it away. Thanks again. Im going to have to go with the Asus 5850 cause the XFX went out of stock, like, this morning but other than that im...

    Hey look its another "Help me with a core i5 build" thread :p

    Ok thanks for your input guys. Im going to go ahead and order today. Any reason to think Id be missing out on the x58 socket? Obviously they are faster processors at stock. Im not too concerned with upgrading to an i9 when they come out and Im currently not going to crossfire 2 5850s. Im...

    Problems from the Past

    Yeah thats nuts. I remember having an ISA dial-up modem in like, 1990 and even then I dont remember ISA being really common. Out of curiosity, how many cards are in this computer? Didnt ISA have an issue with 8/16 bit cards in the same device? Syndicated might be on to something with IRQs too.

    Is consumerreports.org worth it for non-electronics reviews?

    Ive found every consumer reports review to be ill-informed. I worked at a camera shop for years and people would read a consumer reports review where the author would say something to the effect of "The picture quality is bad because its only a 4 megapixel", which has absolutely nothing to do...

    Problems from the Past

    I see so its the old card in the new computer? Do you not have the drivers that came with the card? Could be that the new computer doesnt have the driver pre-installed. Do you have the old hard drive? You might try using the old drive in the new computer, installing the card, and see what...

    Building my first gaming pc. could use some advice.

    With OEM windows Ive always been told that you can change everything except the motherboard. Even today, im sure you could call microsoft and they would give you a new key.

    Hey look its another "Help me with a core i5 build" thread :p

    Im considering buying 2 of the 2x2gig Ripjaws to give me a total of 8 gigs. I know some motherboards can be picky about having all the slots full, any reason to think that would be an issue with the Asus P7P55D I linked to? And thanks for the suggestions, I may go ahead and order something...

    The PS3 is actually one of the best Bluray players on the market. Im not super big on Cnet generally, but this list is pretty much spot on: http://reviews.cnet.com/best-blu-ray-players/
