Hey guys,
I have an MSI -G46 970 mobo with a 1045t @ 3.2 ghz...Figure with this cheap-o board I should stick with the 95 W TDP cpus. Would either of the 6300 or 8370e be a meaningful upgrade for gaming? which between the two would you pick?
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Primarily Encoding, Rendering, and Compressing Video files. Little bit of Gaming on the Side
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$500
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us...
Throwing aesthetics aside, is there a better case out there than the Arc Midi? I will be driving up from San Diego to the Bay Area this weekend and I was going to stop by microcenter since they have the case on sale right now for $79. I know it was on sale on amazon for like $59 a couple months...
Hi guys,
I have a QX6700 rig running at 3.2ghz and I've been getting sick of the fps drops I'm running into during 64-player BF3 servers and team SC2 games. I have a GTX460 that seems to be doing fine as far as average FPS goes but when things get heavy I think that my cpu starts to...

Hi guys,
I have an old qx6700 that I've been running at stock. Now I know that the QX6700 it is a very early quad core processor that is simply two dual core cpus (6700's I think) on the same die. the problem I'm having is that when running prime95 on each of my four cores my temps on the...

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure where this should go but I'm looking for a good mobile hotspot service for my Mom. She has an old P4 HP OEM computer that runs fine- but she's still on AOL! Plus the office is upstairs so she needs to keep a phone chord running all the way down the stairs . She doesn't...

So my coworker just gave me his old gaming rig- It has a QX6700, 4 gigs of DDR2-667 on an OC mobo, and an 8800GTS (Which I can upgrade) and it seems to be working perfectly.
Last May I bought my first new system in five years and treated myself a bit - An XPS 17 laptop with Q2630M, GT555m, 8...
Hey guys,
A couple days ago my basic logitech x-230 decided to lose its left speaker output after 6 years of great service. My dell xps17 has a "spdif" output but after reading as much as I could about it online I'm still not really close to understanding what kind of speakers I should look...

Hey guys,
I have two different PCI cards usb 2.0 cards, one that specifically supports osx on the box, and none of them seem to be able to read my ipod. They are detected in system profiler, and work perfectly when I plug in a usb mouse or printer into them, but when i try to use a hi-speed...
One is an acer, one is a westinghouse. Same samsung panel, but the acer is mounted about a half inch higher than the westy is so some adjustments are needed. PM for pics and/or offer :)

Seeing that the PS3 has come out and the Xbox360 starting to hit stride with games being specifically optimized for it (Didn't see anything close to GoW at launch), It seems like console games have matched PC games in terms of HDR and AA, and in many cases when hooked up to a HD tv it looks...

Hey guys, I have a Sempron 3000+ rig with a Biostar Geforce 6100 mobo and 2x512 Patriot DDRII 667. I got into trying to overclock today and I've only been able to get to 208 fsb, though at 208x8=1667mhz this thing is rock stable.

Hey guys, I'm a college student with 1 year left living on-campus. For that year this rig will be my workhorse- I will do some decent 1024x768 gaming on it. When I move into an off-campus apartment next year, I hope to convert it to a HTPC role as, since I'm too poor to afford both a decent...
Assuming that the AMD price cuts are true and that the 3800 hits the 170$ mark, which would be better, the 2.0ghz x2 or the 1.6 ghz E6200? (both at DDR 667). All of the benchmarks around here seem to be for the 4mb cache processors, whereas the E6200 has 2mb. Traditionally how overclockable...
