    yay and hooray :D everything came and worked, the new computer is great. Thanks again for all the help, I'll take some pictures and get them up later. Final question: would increasing the turbo ratios all to 42 be good, or should I try to mess with voltages to overclock? 42 to 45 is my goal...

    I think it is a promotion that Microsoft and Apple (?) do to help cement repeat customers early so as to have that stable revenue when they upgrade OS after college. I don't know, seems to make sense :) The 17 dollars price comes with a signed agreement that I won't buy any other copies of...

    Picked up my university discounted OS and Office disks today :D since the price was the same, 16.99 for either windows 7 ultimate/professional/home, I just grabbed the Ultimate. Figure an additional virus protection piece won't be terrible. I also picked up Office Professional. Pieces should be...

    Too bad it seems like a September release. My computer is crashing games as I load them now, so I'd really rather not wait that long, which is another factor to why I will have to unfortunately start buying the week of August 1st.

    I'm starting to lean towards a GPU cooler, just to reduce stock fan noise issues and keep the card cool. Also, i've not had the best of luck with video cards not burning up, so I'd want to rectify this sooner then later. With that in mind, does this Arctic Cooling set with the VR001 kit and...
