    Any news on the new line of Intel 45nm Quads (Q9450/Q9550)?

    Here's hoping that when I get some money in May-June timeframe there will be a new GeForce out as well, so I can horn in on one of those Dell uber-deals.

    Q6600 or E8400: Which is more future proof?

    Yep. Also, by the time that games can use quad they will need 4-5GHz not puny 2.4GHz, so you'll have to upgrade anyway. Might as well enjoy the thing you bought RIGHT NOW. :o

    My take on the Logitech G9

    Like always, Logitech makes great hardware but shit software.

    What is the best wireless mouse for gaming?

    Target has them for $80 I think. That's where I got my work to purchase one for me. :) They are also the newer Blue/Carbon-Fiber-Looking models.

    XPS 630?

    I put myself on the mailing list, because I'm mostly curious about specs and pricing. If it's a better deal than the upper trims for the XPS 420, I think it would be nicer (I like the styling).

    Tom's Hardware (better than OC workbench) did a review of the 848P chipset, looking at an Asus board.

    478 Mobo Recomm. for Non-matching RAM?

    I couldn't find the IC7 going for less than $130. Hardly cheap. :eek:

    478 Mobo Recomm. for Non-matching RAM?

    The 848P is a single channel Intel chipset by the way. It supposedly benchmarks about the same as an 865PE in single channel mode (ie one DIMM only, or in the non-dual channel configuration) according to some web pages I found through googling (OC Workbench was one, I know, not exactly HardOCP...

    478 Mobo Recomm. for Non-matching RAM?

    No, you're wrong. I've seen 865PE boards going for $50 to $70, and 848P for $30-$50. I am not going to have anything to do with SiS or VIA boards.

    478 Mobo Recomm. for Non-matching RAM?

    I posted that I don't care about the extra performance, and prefer stability and compatibility. I'm not sure why you are recommending a motherboard chipset that consistently says that you need exactly matching RAM DIMMs, unless you have experience that these boards actually work fine with non...

    478 Mobo Recomm. for Non-matching RAM?

    Hi, I'm looking to replace my crappy Abit VI7 (VIA PT800) mobo and have one stick of Corsair XMS PC3200 CL2, and one stick of Kingston PC3200 CL2.5. I was wondering what you may recommend as a replacement that will jibe well with my new ATI Radeon 9800 Pro & I have one SATA HD. I'm on a very...

    HardOCP's LGA775 CPU and 925/915 Review

    Can you please switch from "dBpowerAMP" to Exact Audio Copy? This is what most quality-obsessed CD ripping is done in, AFAIK.
