    Heat and the 8800

    I heard through the grapevine that the 8800 runs pretty hot. Any of you all running into issues with it? I'm looking to build a computer with an 8800 inside, and was kinda planning on using the Antec Sonata III, seeing as how I really like my (quiet) Sonata II. It has a 550W PSU, and I'm...

    Intel Q6600 vs. E6850

    Hm, were processors bottlenecked on the FSB in the past? I remember people mentioning that being important way back. And I now see the "2x" that I missed in the past - thanks for the heads up.

    Intel Q6600 vs. E6850

    Seems like the intel Q6600 blows away the E6850 on the CPU charts at Tomshardware.com, but they're the same price on Newegg. 1) Why is the Q6600 so much faster (because quad?) 2) Why are they still the same price when one performs so much better? Faster FSB on the E6850? Thanks.

    Question on Team Fortress 2 graphics - help!

    When I play team fortress 2 on my desktop, there are two things that are obviously unimpressive past the lack of HDR: 1) The models mouths don't move when they talk 2) When a medic activates ubercharge, I don't get shiny - I just turn red or blue. I play with my roommates, and theirs...

    Finding DDR at a good price

    I'm really starting to lament my old motherboard. Only supports DDR memory, and I'm looking to add another gig. Unfortunately, I have a hard time paying upwards of 70 for another gig stick (I have one slot open) when I see DDR2 going at so much cheaper. Newegg doesn't seem too keen on...

    Old Memory Model

    Do they even make DDR PC3600 memory anymore? It's been years since I built my computer and I had forgotten what was inside until I checked it on crucial. I'm looking to throw a 1GB stick in my last slot, and I'm worried that I'll have to pick up a couple of new sticks so the models match...
