Can someone give me some perspective; is there some list out there that shows the percentage jumps in performance from one gen to the next?

My 9700 Pro is pushing up a flower now... darn. Whats a good video card to pair with this cpu, ie won't be cpu limited for half life 2 mods like dystopia and empires? I don't really need AA/AF, just solid frame rates in heavy action. Seems like there are good deals on x800gto and...

Anyone ever use mwave's barebones systems? Should I get it mailed or is it worth it to will call it, ~30mi, or is shipping a whole system safe? So I've put this together, only thing I've somewhat concerned about is the psu in the case, but I only need this system to last for about a year...

So I've got a k7s5a and ECS nicely shows in this table http://www.ecsusa.com/support/table_amd.html that the max supported speed is 2600, but a few google searches later and i've seen in some minor forums that people seem to have successfully put this rather rare processor in the k7s5a. I'm...

Looking for a XP in the range of 2500 to 2600 with a fsb of 266. Or, an XP-M 2500 or 2800 that have a fsb of 266. The 2600 XP-M only have a fsb of 333 right? Also, I'm looking for a stick of pc2100 with a size of 512 (or higher if reasonable). Thanks for your time.

Anyone have any experience with verizon's mobile internet? Is it reliable? How are the speeds? What about in remote areas? Should we wait for WiMax, or is that far away enough that a 2yr contract won't be annoying? Or is there a 1yr contract they don't talk about? They adverstise $59.99...

I'm wondering how a Dual Core cpu would perform under situations compared to a regular cpu. Play: 1) Alt tabing out of WoW in order to use firefox 2) Running background programs like antivirus, steam, etc while playing something like BF2? Work: 3) Running a solid modeling...

If one is just doing desktop applications and not gaming or drafting, how would the consumption of energy between an integrated solution vs dedicated cards (x300/9600/etc) compare?

ARRGGGG NoOOoo! For some reason it crashes upon trying to load the mortuary at the end of the game. I've tried it on my laptop, i've tried reinstalling, sigh. I've got the 2 disc verison, which is prepatched, if that means anything. I must finish this game, its my first time through this gem.

Ok so currently my dad is using my old 17" optiquest (viewsonic) and is piping in TV using: cable --> usb thingy ---> very ugly TV. Basically, he's retired so productivity means nothing, hence doing paper work now requires a sports game to be on. And no, just adding a true tv to that room has...

ZoneAlarm, Yea or Nay. I'm setting up a compy for my bro. He's no idiot when it comes to computers, yet his computers seem to always get overwhelmed with crap. Would this Zone alarm thingy help out, or do you recommend something else? Or just say, " Mozilla only with no flash."

What is the main drive for developing a dual core? Is it more stable? Do you need a certain kind of OS for it to be useful? What will dual core do for games?

I've looked all over my MB's BIOS and I can't seem to find any option for "Fast Write" and "Fast Read" . Is it possible that it doesn't have that feature? Would not having that feature create such a huge drop in performance? Could an updated Bios fix the issue? ECS K7S5A (1.1) here as link...

Something is very very wrong with my setup for doom3, neoseeker has a very nice mid range benchmark of doom3 and my system doesn't live up to their numbers. For comparison: One of Their Test beds: XP 1800 equivalent (Mobile 2500+ @ 133x11.5) 9700 pro 512 ram ATi's Catalyst 4.9 Beta...
