    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB ShellShocker at 10AM PDT

    I know what the memory description says on newegg, but is this memory suitable for an AM3/AM3+ system? and how is the overclockability of this memory? Kind of want to pick this up for a cheap build.

    Warm: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Loyalty Edition $9.99 Impulse Driven

    If this had something special to it, I would definitely jump on it, even though I already own all three. I purchased CoP the first week it came out, the collectors edition they made for $40, even though at the time their was the steam edition for 30 on special, because they deserve the money...

    GLOBALFOUNDRIES Fab 8 Construction Tour @ [H]

    Its quite amazing to consider that I live 10 miles south of one of the worlds (if not the most) state of the art CPU manufacturing planet in the world. Maybe in a few years ill be able to go there, and get my cpu hot out of the oven :D.

    AMD AM2+/AM3 HSF removal

    Yeah, hair dryer would work great, twist the heatsink a little side to side and you should probably good to go. With that being said, I have had cpus rip out of sockets (939 and am2 boards) without any pin damage, sometimes without much force. so they aren't in there that tight. The oven...

    Today Is World Back Up Day

    I wish this day was yesterday, had my 500gb WD aaks storage drive fail on me, when it posts it displays nothing as opposed to "none" if a drive weren't there, the computer tries to see it, and cant, I wonder if the pcb just died, and I can slap another one on, those things are a dime a dozen.

    ** Upcoming PC Games Release Dates (U.S.) **

    I cant wait for operation flashpoint : red river, yeah the last one suffered from consolitis hardcore, and was buggy on the pc side, but once you got past that, it was a good game, and they sold it for 40 dollars, so its not like they were trying to rip you off like crysis 2 for a port. Rage...

    Duke Nukem Forever Delayed Until June

    I could of sworn I have read this same line before. QUIT GIVING US UPDATES. The next time I want to read about this game is when its available to buy, no pre-order bullshit neither. This is the 3rd decade in which DNF has been delayed, the odds are very good that I will be dead before it...

    AMD Propus 640 X4 - thoughts?

    I went through this dilemma last year, 635 or p-II 555, I decided to go with the 635 for a few reasons. First, I knew that the 635 would work with my mobo (its an AM2+ board, not AM3) where there was some grey area with what worked on the phenom side, some 125w processors worked according to...

    So...whats your mmo history?

    Runescape. I gave over 3 years of my teenage life to that game, grinding away, got up to level 113 combat in the original form, was one of the first people to buy a 'p2p' subscription when that came out, couldn't continue when it went to 3d, kept playing it for awhile in the classic form, but...

    Thats what I am paying for this mouse before rebate off of amazon, although its back ordered and it says I got another 2-4 weeks to wait, which means I probably wont get the 15 dollar rebate.... I paid 30 dollars off of newegg free shipping for this mouse in January of 06, and it takes MIRs...

    Sennheiser HD 202 Headphones - $18

    2 questions, are they a around the ear headphone or on the ear, and how do they compare to the the HD201s ? I need a new pair of headphones in the worst kind of way. Yeah, they would be a downgrade from my HD485s, but these things don't fit tight on my head anymore, and ive had to resoder...

    UAE, BlackBerry Resolve Dispute

    Probably the concession was to allow the UAE to track conversations going back and forth, where before it was encrypted and couldn't. The money that could be made there is worth more than any kind of moral higher ground in keeping privacy intact. :rolleyes: Which seems to carry no value anymore.

    AMD to Sample Bulldozer in Q4

    I don't think if BD is better that intels extreme editions will be made less than $1000, look at the p4 era. When AMD had the superior processors with socket 939, intel kept its northwood / prescott EE's at a grand, for some unknown reason, but they could do that due to market position.

    Intel Charging $50 to Unlock Your CPU

    3 words. F that shit. Its straight bush leauge, making paid software unlocks for hardware in order to make more money off something you already own is like what was stated, DLC. AMD adds value to their low end processors because you have a decent chance to unlock a 2 or 3 core into 4, as...

    Favorite GPU you have owned?

    6800GT. It was my first entry since my first computer into cutting edge gaming. And that card is still alive today.

    How many PC games are using quad core? (re: worth upgrading from dual-core?)

    Athlon BE 2350 @ 2.85 to x4 635 @ 2.9ghz. All other things stayed the same, maybe the newer core = better IPC, but not 150%+ better. The game was that poorly coded. Seriously, Stalker, which only fully utilizes 1 core was maybe 15% faster. 9800GTX+, 2 mismatched 2x1gb kits, slightly slower...

    How many PC games are using quad core? (re: worth upgrading from dual-core?)

    GTA 4, without a doubt. It was unplayable slow (19-30 fps) @1152x864, but I still played it most of the way through, with 2 cores, overclocked as hard as I could. I get 50-80 fps @ 1600x1200 easy after the QC, although I havent tried as hard as I could with the settings, still leaps and bounds...

    100 or less to spend...

    +3 on the x4. I got one because I wanted 4 guaranteed cores and because long term gain of that outweighed 2 faster cores and a gamble. My c3 X4 635 runs cold, and its runs undervolted, but thats because this AM2+ board is weak and overclocking isn't much of an option right now. When I do get an...

    nVidia spends $2 Million on Crysis 2

    You must not read the video card form much. There have been many people who wish for nvidia's death because of inherent bias (and hate), if you don't believe so then you are blind or ignorant or both. A call of fanboyism is a weak attempt to somehow invalidate what I or anyone may say, which...
