    Small question here...

    I might go with one of these; Is it good? I haven't heard of the brand... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822204083

    Small question here...

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't have a spare HDD. Is there a huge difference in performance between a 5400RPM (what most pre-assembled externals have) and a 7200RPM (standard for internals)?!

    Small question here...

    Hi, I am looking to buy an external HDD. Is it preferable to buy an "internal HDD + enclosure" or to buy an "pure external HDD" (aka WD Passport, myBook, Seagate FreeAgent, etc.)? In terms of failure rate, lifetime and stuff, which solution is better? Thanks!

    Buying an external HDD...

    Thanks, guys! Are the failure rates for WD Passports/My Book really high? As for eSATA, I don't have any computer at home with an eSATA connection, so I don't think that it'd be a must to have it... If I go for a WD external HDD, should I go for a 7200RPM at all costs, instead of a...

    Buying an external HDD...

    Basically, you are telling me that it is better to buy an internal HDD and an enclosure than an external HDD? Is it more reliable? Faster?

    Buying an external HDD...

    Hi, I am fairly new in this type of business. I was looking to buy an external HDD for my laptop and I wanted to ask you about what brand/model to choose. I am looking for a bargain, as I don't want to spend over $150 for that. I am not looking for mega-uber storage, but more storage...

    DVD-RW?

    Hi! I'm looking forward to buy a DVD Burner. In the past, I had a NEC ND-3540A and was very satisfied. Should I go with the ND-3550A or with the BenQ DW1655? Is lightscribe worth it (that's the only major difference between the two...)? Thank you!

    DDR2?!

    Are you sure there are reviews? Anyway... what you told me about Mushkin was good or bad. Because if it's bad, no problem, I'll take the G.Skill. I just need to know if the G.Skill is worth it. Period. Thanks

    DDR2?!

    Hi! I have a little question for you guys. I'm building a Conroe rig, mainly for gaming, and I'm still undecided on RAM. Which one is the best for its value: Note that I won't overclock that much. I don't know if it makes a difference by saying this... $220-240 CAD Mushkin EM PC2-6400 2GB...

    Conroe?!

    That would be nice if someone could answer this little question... Is there a big difference between the Mushkin PC2-6400 @ 5-5-5-12 and the G.Skill PC2-6400 @ 4-4-4-12

    Conroe?!

    Thank you! And about the RAM.... I know Mushkin and G.Skill are two great brands but some here are really liking G.Skill. I just want to know if the $30 more spent on the G.Skill (4-4-4-12) (compared to the Mushkin, with 5-5-5-12 timings) are worth it, overclocking or not? Thank you!
  14. T

    Conroe?!

    Thank you! So between the Mushkin, $25 CAD less (not $10, it was on rebate and I didn't see it) and the G.Skill, you really recommend the G.Skill? If I say I don't intend to overclock as soon as I get my CPU and if I do overclock it, it would probably not be that much (reaching 3 GHz would...

    Conroe?!

    Thank you! I've still got some questions: Can I install a heatsink months after having installed the computer? I mean, can I install it if I want to overclock a little bit more 6 months after having purchased and installed and runned it? Also, the G.Skill Extreme F2-6400PHU2-2GBZX 2GB...
