Looking to spend $100-$130 for a good stable motherboard..I've been out of the loop for at least 6 months and I don't have much time to read all the reviews.I need your advice on a good motherboard for a new system I'm building. I know a few months ago the Gigabyte DS3 was the best deal. The...
I have a question, If I'm getting an E6600 C2D and plan to overclock at 9 * 400 = 3.6Ghz, DDR2-800 or less, as long as I keep the memory under rated specs, do I still need to buy more expensive ram, i.e. micron D9 one?
Ok thanks guys I'll go with the corsair..ZZF has it for $106 shipped. I see they also have the corsair 620w, my question is it worth paying the extra for the 620w if I'm not planning to have SLI..will the 520W be enough for the vid cards coming out in the next few months? I might want to upgrade...
I know I read the faq, but I'm still torn on what power supply to get. I just need a good branded power supply that will last me a few years at least and that will handle the system I'm building. The thing is I don't want to spend too much $$$ on it maybe $100-$130 the most. Any suggestions? I...
This deal is ALIVE! I went to 3 stores in Miami area..1st one was the one on 83rd ave. and they didn't have any, but the one in kendall had 3 and the one in hialeah had 3 left. I took all but one, 1 left in kendall store. So even though online it says that none of these stores carry it at all...

forget the RR ratings! I ordered today around 12 noon and my order shipped already! Should receive it by wednesday, I'll let you guys know how it goes.
I've never pushed it harder than 2.2ghz because my idle temps are 41C with XP-90. I guess I can try up to 2.4+. I play some games like CS Source, BF2, etc but mostly just basic computer usage (web surfing e-mail etc). I want a good setup for Vista though.
edit: is there a site that...
I want to get some nice speakers for my gaming rig. I was thinking of buying the Logitech Z-5300e because they support THX and are cheap. But then I thought It'd be nice if I could also hook these up to my LCD TV as well. But then I thought that my TV only has component audio and these speakers...
I have S939 rig and I wanna upgrade my A64 3000+ to an Opteron 165/170. Do you guys think I should just get one of these processors or move to Core 2 Duo E6300 ? Is there alot of performance difference to justify buying NEW MOBO and MEM.
I just bought this TV and it rocks. It has a built-in ASTC/NTSC and QAM tuners. I have basic analog cable with Comcast (in miami). My problem is that using basic cable I'm only able to pick up the analog local channels but NOT in HD. I thought that cable companies were REQUIRED to transmit at...
I'm thinking of getting either a 32" or 37" LCD HDTV for Christmas. I've been to many stores and have seen many great deals on them. There is only one thing stopping me from buying one and that is the quality of non HD playback. I know that LCDs have a native resolution and that if you run it...
Don't most video game systems have bugs during the 1st generation? I think if I do end up getting it , I'll wait at least 6 months before they work out the bugs.
Yeah I think the PS3 will look crappy on a regular tv, you need at least at 720p HDTV to see the nicer graphics. What kind of connector does the PS3 have?
ROFL, you know the funny thing is that to most console gamers the PS3's graphics are jaw dropping, I guess they've never played computer games at high res. I was at a Best Buy yesterday and I chuckled when I saw all the people camping out outside. I went inside to see the demo PS3 just to see...
Well I really don't want to spend $150+ on a motherboard..The most I would spend is maybe $100-$110. Plenty AM2 motheboards at that price, are there any decent motherboards for Conroe at that price? I haven't had Intel CPU since P3, so I'm not too familiar.
I didn't know if to post this here or in INTEL side lol. A friend of mine is giving me either of these processors along with 2gb of ddr2 ram. I was just wondering performance wise (for gaming) which is better at stock speeds?
I signed up for the Intel Retail edge bundle that comes with E6300, motherboard, Windows Vista Ultimate. When I get it , I want to upgrade my video card as well as monitor. In order to use it with Vista, I have to get one that is HDCP compliant right? And If I don't, I won't be able to play...
I have system in sig. below. I updated to the latest Nvidia chipset drivers and latest ATi drivers. After doing so, when I go play BF1942 the system stutters terrible. I try to move with the mouse it takes about 5-10 secs to react, so bad that is unplayable. I was wondering if anyone has this...
Ok help me decide please. I wanna upgrade my 3000+ venice to either x2 3800+/4200+ or to opteron 165/170. Both are about the same price now. Which one is the nicer deal? Is the opteron better ?
