    huge game sale at best buy tomorrow!!!

    I sent my girlfriend in to check while I was at work. Not only did they not know what she was talking about, but none of the games I told her to picked up were there, at least not for $2. I saw this "hot deal" posted on several message boards, so I assumed it must have been true. If not for...

    939 vs AM2?

    Would you recommend the AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Brisbane 1.9GHz? Newegg has it available in a motherboard combo for $152.

    939 vs AM2?

    Would there be any point to building a new performance system around 939 or is AM2 the only way to go? Would I sevearly gimp myself by going 939? Does 939 have ANY advantage over AM2? Dumb questions, I know. Thanks.

    Build a midrange system for under $1000

    Thanks for the replies. Here's what I've been looking at, trying to keep things as cheap as possible, but leave lots of room to upgrade in the future: What do you think? Yeah, I forgot to mention I'm putting Vista on it, and I also had my heart set on a modular PSU.

    Build a midrange system for under $1000

    I think it goes without saying, I'd like to build a new budget gaming/media rig for under a grand. I realize that while that's not alot of money, the right part choices can make all the difference when it comes to squeezing out every bit of potential power. Details: Budget: No more than...

    Wanna try Vista, don't have a DVD.

    Ok, I'm gonna try that. Warning, the following may be a stupid question: One more thing though, I'm 32-bit, not 64-bit. Would using Vista 64 be a bad idea? Thanks again.

    Wanna try Vista, don't have a DVD.

    I have a spare hard drive and I'd like to give the newest Vista build a whirl. The problem is, this computer does not have a DVD drive. The only way I can play a DVD is mounting an image to a virtual drive, but I could never do that to load an OS, since it's done... well, outside of the OS...

    Moved my case, now I run 10c hotter?

    It's an Athlon XP 2100+, it IS back where it originally was, and all of my fans are working perfectly.

    Moved my case, now I run 10c hotter?

    I took my comp over to a friend's house for some LAN, and ever since I brought it home, it's been running very hot. Before I took it over there, it ran at 42c idle and 48c while gaming. Now, it's running 52c idle, and 56c under load. I didn't open the case, and I didn't mess with any...

    Constantly losing internet connection!

    I tried unplugging my router, and running the modem straight into one of my PC's. It didn't work at first, but finally picked up and I had internet. Unfortunantly, it was extremely slow and unresponsive, and completely died seconds later. I hooked the network back up and shut the power off on...

    Constantly losing internet connection!

    I have Comcast cable running through a Linksys router, feeding into my two computers. As of a few days ago, my internet was 100% solid and speedy. The past couple of days, I've been constantly losing my internet connection. I didn't do or change anything on my network. Every little while, I...

    How to find your bottleneck?

    Is there software or a website available that might be able to tell a person what part of their system is the official bottleneck? (which part could be upgraded for the biggest performance boost) For example, if I had a 2.4Ghz processor, a 256MB video card, and 512MB of RAM -- we all know the...

    Went from 1 to 4 HDDs ...freezing?

    I unplugged one of my drives and it still freezes just as fast... :( :confused: UPDATE: I tried uplugging an additional drive, bringing me down to 2. This didn't work either. The method I was using to test for freezing was simply playing music in Media Player. Just for the hell of it, I...
