    worth it? - C2D e6300 to Pent e6500

    I wasn't able to bite on the microcenter $150 q9550, but I was able to find a used g0 q6600 for $120. 2 questions: 1) is this a fair price for a used g0 q6600? Do I have better options? 2) I can only modestly overclock my processors (because I only have a modest motherboard). Therefore, I am...

    worth it? - C2D e6300 to Pent e6500

    First off will my C2D e6300 have any problems playing starcraft 2 on max settings assuming I have an infinitely fast gpu with infinite video RAM? I read somewhere that the pentium e6300 is 72% faster than the C2D e6300. If my e6300 is not adequate for playing sc2 on max settings, will the...

    Vista 64 crashing without blue screen?

    Is it my hard drive? The drive vista is installed on, fails the seagate seatools short drive long drive self tests and the long generic test and passes every other test. My other drives (data drives, without OS installs) pass every test. The crash happens intermittently, and I am about 80%...

    Is the acer 5735-6285 a good buy for $530?

    I recently picked this up at frys http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/ads/2009/03/20/41435/Acer-15-6-Laptop-Intel-Core-2-Duo-Processor-T6400 Was it a good buy? I've done some checking on google and this particular model doesn't seem to turn up on any e-stores (product phased out?). All I know...

    Please help me trouble shoot my HD

    One of my HD's stopped being detected by the bios and by windows. I checked the log and I got disk event ID 15, which said one of my hard disks was not ready for access and plug play manager event id 12, saying that my disk was removed without proper preparations. At the same time I got an event...

    Any performance loss with ddr2 2gb 667 and 2gb 533 at the same time?

    I thought that 2gb of ram was more than I would ever need, but on vista 64, my ram utilization can go past 80% during gaming and FLAC playback. Would I take a performance hit by throwing in my spare 2gb of 533ram in with my 2gb of 667, or am I better off buying the same model of 667 ram?

    Which Speakers Should I Get For My Boyfriend?

    I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about since I have only ever owned computer speakers, but you might be better off purchasing discrete home theatre equipment with your employee discount. The insignia bass reflex bookshelves are really good for the cost (I'm parroting here, but it's...

    Looking for new cans

    The triports are miles ahead in comfort. The hd 280's sound quality might disappoint you, but if you're like me, then you will appreciate the clarity. I bought the hd 555 thinking I would like it more for the games, but the sound stage isn't all that it's cracked up to be (been told it's like...

    Help, want to upgrade from klipsch pro media

    What is CCM? Do I have to produce anything in order for them to track the purchase, or will they find it just by scanning the bar code?

    Help, want to upgrade from klipsch pro media

    I haven't taken the speakers back to bestbuy yet since I haven't had the time, but if the return succeeds and I swapped them for some insignias, would a generation 2 T-amp have decent headphone amplification qualities?

    Why does the x-fi front panel degrade sound quality?

    So my case's headphone jack is supposed to degrade audio? Why can't I, for the life of me, hear any sort of difference? I've probably performed about 50 miles worth of traveling, by foot, just switching my headphones between jacks every 2 minutes, scurrying to hear a difference. I can't even...

    Why does the x-fi front panel degrade sound quality?

    I'm just wondering because I have my x-fi xtreme gamer hooked up to my antec 900's case jack, using the audio jumper plugs. I don't notice any sound degradation with my front panel usb disabled and the grounding wire detached (when it was attached to my case, I could hear static since the...
