    Looking for some advice - will more RAM help?

    My current system is almost exactly like yours, but with 32GB RAM. Yes it's old, but I keep multiple browsers with dozens of tabs open along with Ameitrade Thinkorswim, Excel sheets open and sometimes Winamp playing music and it's still as snappy as I could want it to be. I think it could be...

    What to do with old busted monitor? (LCD works, inverter board fried)

    I have an old dell e197fp that apparently blew a bunch of capacitors on the inverter board (a common problem with that model after some searching). I already tried replacing the caps, but I suck at soldering and completely FUBAR'd the board, so that's not an option anymore. Is there...

    Ivy Bridge Temperatures Could Be Linked To TIM Inside Integrated Heatspreader: Report

    Could someone explain to a newb like me what I need to know going into an IB build given this new development? If I order the retail package (assuming nothing changes) what else will I need? Do I need to buy Arctic Silver, and/or an aftermarket cooler?

    Ivy Bridge i5-3570K HD 4000 Graphics Benchmarks?

    Wow, thanks for the input! Maybe I should go with a new video card when I finally build my new IB rig.

    Ivy Bridge i5-3570K HD 4000 Graphics Benchmarks?

    So if I have this video card HERE and do no gaming whatsoever, would an IB serve me better for 1080p video? I also have dual monitors, how should I set up my new rig when I build it?

    Dell U2412M

    Just got mine today, ordered late Wednesday night. Ended up getting it for about $232 from Dell.com. The secret? I got $300 worth of Dell gift cards off ebay for $230. Free shipping, minus 5% from Fatwallet, plus tax. Awesome monitor, especially for this price! :D

    More RAM or faster RAM? What's best?

    Hmmm, well it is XP 32bit... but I kind of had a feeling the slower speed wouldn't be noticeable (especially for what he uses it for).

    More RAM or faster RAM? What's best?

    Right now my brother has 2x512MB of pc4200 DDR2 in his Dell Dimension... I just bought him 2x1GB of pc5300. I know if I use all 3GB together they will run at the slower speed, is it better to go with only 2GB but faster speed?

    Suggestions for editing 1080p video

    Thanks. Yeah, in this case I was talking about forgoing CUDA (at least for now).

    Suggestions for editing 1080p video

    Okay, so again, if I'm not gaming... what if I stuck with my old 8600GT on an i7 2600k rig? Would that totally bog me down, or be fine for what I need? (it would be nice to be able to save some money if I don't need to upgrade)

    Worth it to wait for IB?

    I won't even be getting the money for a new system until late January, and I'm under no deadline to build a new one.... Talk me into waiting the extra couple months for Ivy Bridge instead of a Sandy. ;)

    Suggestions for editing 1080p video

    Assuming I go with Premiere to take advantage of CUDA, then what card should I be looking at?

    Ah, well see that's why I asked... I had no idea. I may be using Premiere to take advantage then
