    Vidcard advice for NWN 2

    looks too much like EQ II. I prefer games that are more comic like, not realistic, and especially ones that suck at being realistic. Just missing something, anyone else ?

    WTB: LPs! (Records for the rest of ya)

Original Beatles, Cream, Jeff Beck, LZ of course, stuff from early 60's through mid eighties when I switched over to CD. Good luck and...

    Computer Restarts when trying to install Win but not while Running Knoppix?

    of course Knoppix runs off the cd and not the hard drive, so you are comparing apples and oranges. The only thing that tells you is you have no huge cpu/motherboard/ram issue. That is good news. I would suspect the primary hard drive, use a diagnostic app from that drive manufacturer, they all...

    What would you built with no budget ?

    ahhh, sorry. At first I read as having no money. In that case go to the local thrift store and get an old P II for $5, a monitor for another 5, and surf the net for almost nothing. Unlimited budget ? maybe spend 2 grand on a pc, and give the other 5 grand that folks would waste on stupid parts...

    Computer Abuse, what ticks u off?

    yeah I know what you mean, you ask them to bring all ther driver cd's and you get nothing. btw, VIA makes very good chipsets. I used to believe ALi was crap too, but then I tested an ASUS board that had one, the busmastering was the best of any socket 7 I ever saw. The 503+ was awesome, used a...

    Which is better ClockSpeed or Effinecy

    lithium, thanks for the reply. not trying to be a troll, but there are so many folks who say a computer is slow and blame this and that when it is usually the system itself that is at fault. you can have a fast motherboard / chipset/ cpu but a slow drive will make people scream that the computer...

    Which is better ClockSpeed or Effinecy

    yes you are entitled to your opinion. the more people debate and the more they demand fast cpu, the more I realize how little they know abut the actual cpu itself. how other parts of the computer affect over all speed. to blame a cpu for the computer being slow is simply not right. there are...

    Which is better ClockSpeed or Effinecy

    all of the above cpu are perfectly capable. to call an A64 slow is ludicrous, to call an XP slow is goofy. they all run the apps of their day just fine, often it is the carbon based processors that are slow.

    Mid Price Build opinions.

    why P D when you could run an Athlon 64 or Conroe , D was two prescotts glued together. Thus the letter D, not the best cpu overall.

    no it does not cause any more wear

    My computer keeps restarting on its own

    could be video card overheating but more likely the power supply, watch the voltage with a hardware monitor program. if it were cpu it would freeze or not boot at all, what is the highest temp you have seen ?
