There was once a guy who didn't really need a new video although he did have a computer to put it in. Then one day he got a PM saying that he had won a NEW GT430. His name was Guido and he lived happily ever after.

Why is that??

There are some areas of computing that I would like to expand my knowledge about without taking any college courses. For example, I would love to learn how to setup an exchange server for work that I could sync my caledar and my mail up with. Something that I could access anywhere etc. The type...

Sorry about the Caviar/Scorpio mistake, I do mean the Scorpio laptop drive. I have never had any interest in dual booting my MBP, and that hasn't changed, so it will only be running Snow Leopard. So based on the type of computing that I do with my pc, the seagate will be the way to go. Of...

I am looking to upgrade the Hard Drive in my laptop, and I want to get as fast of a Hard Drive as possible without going to SSD(the cost vs. capacity isn't doable yet). I am also looking at the Caviar Black 500Gb and the Hitachi Travelstar 500GB. What do you think?

Danny, can you reccomend a new motherboard that I can buy from newegg instead of looking for a used one. Or were those reccommedndations for new boards? I am a bit confused on your comparison on the chips. Are you saying that if they are at the same clock speed the E6500 is 15% better? or am...

How much better is the E6500 compared to the E6400? I realize that there is about 3 years between the technologies, but is the E6500 only a little bit better or is it a considerable amount better. If the last statements points to the chip being a good bit better, can you be a bit more specific...

Thanks for crushing my dreams Danny. That may work out best, maybe I use the E6400 and the Asus board for my server, and I could always get a new, better motherboard for the E6500 processor. Something that can handle 4 DIMMs and allow for some good overclocking. I have a case that I can use if...

KataIDT - Yes the GA7VAXP has 5 PCI slots, so maybe that is the best Server pc. But if I don't have to put any money into that "older" computer, that would be best. I had the HTPCs setup already, accept the E6500 is in one of the HTPCs while the other one houses the E2140. The E5400 was my...

So I pose these questions to anyone who will help, but Danny has been a huge help throughout this process, so I thought I would call him out. I recently made a trip to Michigan and brought the remains of my last computer back with me(travelling with a bunch of computer parts in your caryy on...

So I am not doing anything with the work PC, right? Keep in mind that the 9800GT will be sitting here umused when I replace my "Gaming" rigs vid card which makes the 9800 available for my work/editing computer. With that said, is the 240 better than the 9800? The 9800 has 512MB of DDR3 ram...

I have a couple intel dual core processors, and I am wondering which is the best of these. I have an idea about 2 of them since they were purchased fairly recently, but i'm not sure where the other 2 fit in. CPU #1 - Intel E5400 CPU #2 - Intel E6500 CPU #3 - Intel E2140 CPU #$ - E6400...

The 240 has 1GB of DDR5

I recently built 2 new machines that I came to these forums for help for, but I held off on any video cards because the new ones were coming out. Now that the new ones are out, what should I be looking at? I have read a bit and it almost seems like the new cards arent that much better, have they...

I purchased a new computer a few weeks ago and I am having a lot of trouble with overclocking it. I may need to RMA the motherboard or something, but I know my 30 days is running out. The problem is that when Iset the bios up for overclocking, I restart the computer and when booting up it...
