I have never played WoW but i have played other mmo's. I got tired of loot whores (both the players and the companies with the subscription fees) so i never tried WoW.

I recently built my first computer and was having some issues with my sound card so i need some advice. I am not an audiophile or anything but since CompUSA was closing and i wanted to go all out for my first build i made an impulse buy on the soundcard. I already own all this so it is not a...

Just finished my very first home build and now I am looking for some software to get for it. I have never done any overclocking before so i know i am going to need some stuff for benchmarking and monitoring temps and such. Also looking for suggestions for utilitly software. Oh and i already have...

Questions at the bottom for the lazy. My current computer is 7 years old and is showing its age. This will be my first build. As you can guess I don’t upgrade often so I was initially planning on splurging on a good build and not having to worry about upgrading for a while. I was leaning...

I am going to pick one of these up next week. Intially i planed on leaving it with the components it comes with and after it's year warrenty runs out i figured i could score some cheap upgrade components 200GB HD 7200RPM, 9300CPU, etc. This will be my first laptop so i have a couple...

I read a post on this forum where someone gave a link to a program that helped find dead or stuck pixels. I tried search but i cant seem to find it. Anyone know what i am refering to and able to direct me to the right place? On a related note i have a 42" 1080p Insignia LCD TV that has a...

How do i make sure i have completely removed my old one. I had some free norton's from my ISP but it kept telling me i was "At Risk" yet it's updater did't seem to fix whatever was making it say that. I went through add/remove programs and removed anything that had symantec or norton in the...

I am still a bit confused so I think I should backtrack some. Other than Frequency, Latency, and Voltage what should I be looking at when comparing ram. It seems like the big names Corsair, OCZ, Mushkin, G. Skill all offer lifetime warranties so that doesn’t seem to be a factor. For...

Thanks to everyone that has offered some insight or suggestions. I am new to [H] and it seems to be a very knowledgeable and helpful community. I've never heard of the Xeon E3110. As far as the E8400 VS Q6600 goes, I have tried to follow the threads that cover this topic and opinions seem...

Sorry vision I don't mean to hijack your thread but i also am looking at buying some Ram and your thread brought up a few questions. What does that mean? BP-PCB, D9, IC. How can you tell if the ram has those things? I dont see that stuff in neweggs spec tab.

Thanks for the suggestions HardwareGuru. I should of stated that the parts that have an item listed have already been purchased the ones with question marks either i have no idea about or have not even looked into yet.
