    Rip DVD's to HD?

    AnyDVD is what I use to avoid the hassle of a seperate DVD ripping program. It runs in the background and automatically removes the CSS before Windows even sees it, it'll even remove the annoying long intros when you are watching a physical DVD on your computer. Your options after that are...

    Is this my limit? 7800 GT optimal frequencies

    My experience has generally been very good with the detect optimal settings button in the nvidia control panel. If anything it sets the clocks too high rather than too low for me. For instance it picks 434/1.17 on my 6800GT (Ultra BIOS), but only 425/1.15 is really stable, and that's only with a...

    Wait for the m2?

    There's always new technology around the corner, but that doesn't mean waiting for something never makes sense. Major shifts like AGP to PCIe are sometimes worth waiting for just because of the flexibility it gives you in terms of upgrading. I would also not want to build something new and...

    Best Overclocking Core Ever Made

    Northwood and Tbred are very good, but nothing quite compares to the early Mendocino celerons. With the 440BX (especially Abit motherboards) a simple BIOS setting to run at 100MHz FSB instead of 66Mhz and you could turn $100 chip into the fastest thing on the market. This was long before locked...

    You can help make longhorn better!

    The whole installation process is getting an overhaul as far as I understand it, I can't believe that with the growing popularity of RAID and the declining popularity of floppies that MS won't address this. Don't know if it's been mentioned yet (didn't read all 8 pages of this) but n-lite is...

    From P4 Northwood to ???? AMD, also 4GB+ of memory?

    I personally can't see why anyone would ever choose a 4200+. The 4400+ has double the cache for like $60. the cache is not an amazingly huge performance booster, but it is more than worth the small price bump considering the nature of your system. I can't see how anyone would consider buying a...
