    What kind of video cards and computers does the white house use.

    Only when they're providing Intel for Sam Fisher. I happen to work in the White House, and I can guarantee that he's an actual government employee. No joke.

    What $6 Million gets these days.

    What's the story on the wiring (or lack thereof)? I know much can be concealed with some cleverness, but some of the equipment doesn't even have cabling running to their rear connectors :confused:

    Getting the hair on the back of your neck to stand up...

    Here are two of mine. There are many more, but the Candyrat artists don't quite get the recognition they deserve. Spiritual Groove - Antoine Dufour Ebon Coast - Andy McKee

    AMD Phenom Fails Most AM2 Compatibility Tests

    It's a shame we can't all be as clairvoyant as MrMike. The C51 is hardly a "shit motherboard" and it's a shame the Foxconn hasn't released a new BIOS for Phenom support.

    EVGA nForce 590 SLI AM2 No Phenon for you!

    If you take some time to ease down on the asinine vitriol, you might have noticed the words written in a vertical fashion on the left side of the graph you just linked to.

    2.1 Throwdown: Holidays 2007

    My reticence towards picking up a set of M10's comes from gaming and movies being the majority of my audio use (probably 65/35 to music). At the same time, I am not a fan the of the boomy Logitech and Klipsch sets; however the latter has noticeably better sound quality in my experience. I...

    EVGA nForce 590 SLI AM2 No Phenon for you!

    Ah crap, what's the deal? Foxconn hasn't released a damn BIOS update for my C51 since March :rolleyes: I do have an M2N-E sitting around that I picked up last year (planned on doing a budget build since the early versions wouldn't overclock worth a damn) but I don't want to do a motherboard...

    $130 Mid-Range Video Card

    While I absolutely hate recommending that people stretch a budget they already spent time developing, I would really recommend holding out a bit for the 3850 if at all possible; especially for a gaming build. What other components do you have picked out? You might be able to tweak a few things...

    Best racing sim for PC

    I have to say that rFactor with mods is the best racing simulation I have ever played. It's pretty crude in it's vanilla form, but it had a really strong group of modders over at rfactorcentral.com. Add on any of the mods from their "Hall of Fame" section and you're in for a treat. There's...

    Call of Duty 4 - best game ever

    I'm not wishing to get too deep in this debate however I will say that Call of Duty 4 is the most "fun" that I have had playing a FPS for some time. It doesn't make any pretenses about being open-ended, and scripted gameplay shouldn't necessarily be a "con". Open ended gameplay is not the...

    Iron sights or crosshair when scoped/zoomed?

    Sport shooting is my other primary hobby (IDPA, USPSA, 3-Gun, etc.) so I have been spoiled a bit. While video games are nothing like real-life, I still prefer to have my character actually looking down the firearm when I choose to aim. Be it iron sights, an Aimpoint, Eotech, ACOG, doesn't...

    Black Edition 5000+ Fun

    I was just curious as I am having the same silly issue with temperature readings. My board's website has several new BIOS's that are rather nebulous in the description but they do make mention of incorrect temperatures. I plan on flashing this afternoon.

    Black Edition 5000+ Fun

    What "math" are you doing to figure out your temperature readings?

    I just "leaked" the Phenom PIB art!

    I personally think it looks like a box of Kleenex with the spotlight, comet, whatever being some tissue. The simple look of the Black Editions are my favorite AMD boxes so far...but I care more about what's inside.

    Idle temp question, does this seem right?

    You're not alone on the temperature thing. I am getting the same lower than ambient idle temps too with my 5000+ BE too. This was taken when I was at 3.0 but I am currently at 3.2. I don't presume to be an expert on this, but from reading around, a lot of Brisbane's have an issue with...
