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...

Long time lurker here selling a brand new, factory sealed 6th generation (2018) 128GB iPad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-iPad-6th-Gen-128GB-Wi-Fi-9-7in-Space-Gray-MR7J2LL-A-SEALED-NIB/132645342825

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...

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?

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

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?

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

Thank you guys

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).

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?

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

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)

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. ;)

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
