    Chairs?

    What chair do you use? Anyone out there with some exceptionally unique chair that you just downright adore? I've always used a standard high-back cloth (aka cheap) chair with armrests from wal-mart, and sorta want to invest in something that I'll thoroughly enjoy. My wife just bought one of...

    problem with HD detection...

    I just put built my first computer (in sig) and all went well, except that windows doesn't seem to see one of my hard drives. When I installed them, I just plugged the SATA power connectors from the PSU into them, and then the other SATA connectors from them to the MB. They're in SATA slots 1...

    2 GB of memory feasible and easy?

    I think you need to re-read my reply to your original post. You are *not* going to run 1t with 512x4. A64 memory controllers can't handle it, and I seriously doubt P4 ones will be able to either.

    2 GB of memory feasible and easy?

    Actually, my understanding of the matter is that even though 1gb sticks will by necessity have higher timings, the memory controllers in the latest CPUs (at least for A64s... not 100% positive about P4s) aren't capable of handling 4 sticks at 1t. I've never heard of anyone getting 1t with 4...

    Is my hard drive dying?

    Yea, I think you're right, it looks like the HDD is dying. I looked into the admin tools in control panel and found a *ton* of disk errors, dating back to my last reformat (no doubt it started well before that, because I reformated that time due to this problem). I'm hoping the hard drive will...

    Building a new pc, must last me atleast 4 yrs with minimal upgrades

    um, if you have 3k, why don't you just spend about $1500 now (more than enough to get a top of the line system since you already have a lot of stuff) and save the other 1500 for upgrades down the road? just seems more logical to me... top of the line current gen stuff will last you for next gen...

    First time PC build, suggestions please!

    Thanks for all of the comments - one quick question: If I went with the OCZ VX gold edition ram and kicked the voltage up to 3.2-3.5 for OCing reasons, the ram would probably need some extra cooling, right? If so, is there any way to accomplish this without having to make modifications to my...

    First time PC build, suggestions please!

    Thanks a ton for the response - I'll definitely go for the HSF and other HD you rec'd. Regarding the memory, quoting from the DFI user manual for the lanparty ut nf4 ultra-d mb: "The integrated memory control in AMD's 64-bit Socket 939 series CPU will directly catch data transmission from...

    First time PC build, suggestions please!

    For the past month or so I've been browsing forums & reading (at the exclusion of a rather large amount of studying...) a lot about parts for a new gaming-enthusiast computer which I hope to put together as soon as I get back home from school (studying abroad in the UK from the US, they get out...
