I am in the market for a new laptop and I want something that will last at the minimum, 7 years. I hold onto my equipment for quite some time so durability is a must. What laptops offer the longest warranties? Has technology gotten past the problem with micro fractures in solder? Ever since...

My motherboard is 1333 FSB, the chip I want is Q8300 which is rated at 1333 FSB. Since at it's default CPU it's already at the max FSB that my motherboard can handle will I not be able to over clock it? Where if I get the Q6600 it has a standard of 1066 FSB (I think) which would get more room...

I have GA-965P-DS3 (rev 3.3) motherboard I currently have a core 2 E4300 that has proven to run too slow for some CPU intense games. Here is the research i've done on ebay sold listings for quad core CPU's. Is there anything that really sets one apart or should I get go for the cheaper ones...

I hear the HD 7770 is the best for low power, but I was told it would not be backwards compatible for my PCI Express 1.x... Yes I still have the same computer from 2007 and yes I still play games, so if anyone has another low power idea, I would love to hear it! Gtx 460 was my first choice...

I am currently running a core 2 duo E4300. On a GA-965P-DS3 motherboard. I think I bought this system in 2007, still running strong, but I could use a little more umph in the processor department. I know this mobo does quad core, but it gets confusing with all the different types. Thanks

I can't find the official download anywhere? It is made by Intel right? Thanks

Nice deal!! At Frys, for those who don't know, one of the fastest 7200 RPM drives. It has two 500GB platters. http://www.frys.com/product/6473452

I am looking at a GTS 250, and I notice for the most part it's like 738 core clock speed, however the cheaper ones have lower clock speeds. Why would it be lower clock speed if they all use the same chip? Do they use chips that failed at higher speeds? For example the EVGA...

Usually when I run 2 clients of a game on 1 computer I disable shadows. What is more important in a video card for this job? Texture fill rate? Processor speed? Video card memory? What say you? Thanks!

Here is my system 1.8 GHz E4300 C2D 4GB Patriot 7900 GS GA-965P-DS3 I'm finding with modern games i'm having some trouble mostly due to the GPU. What video card would you recommend on my system? Is PCI-E 2.0 backwards compatible with my PCI-E 1 slot? At what point will there be a...

My friend just gave me some older Xeons that are 3.2 ghz each. The mobo died so he doesn't want to deal with it. How would these dual processors compare to say a modern dual core CPU? Since these are true dual processors i'd think they'd be better right? Any ideas for a cheap mobo? Thanks!

My brother is broke and he needs a new computer because his motherboard just died. I'm going to give him 2GB of DDR2-800 ram and a friend is going to give him a crappy PCI-E xpress 7400gt So all he needs now is a motherboard and CPU, or would he need a new power supply? Hes got an older...

I used to check this out and find all sorts of deals, now the forum is slow and nothing interesting to buy lol. With economy the way it is, wouldn't there be more hot deals to get people to start shopping again? /shrug

I got an HD camcorder and wanna burn some stuff but holy crap at $10 a disc :(

I bought this on November 30th, I don't know where I can go to download my rebate form, I didn't print it out right away :( Anyone happen to remember the older rebate link for that date? Thanks heres the item but with a newer rebate form...

It is not used for an operating system, just data storage for big files. (1.5TB drive) So i'm in disk manager right now trying to initialize the drive but, I don't know anything about partitioning. Is is an exented or primary? How many partitions should there be? Thanks alot!

What steps do I need to take to make sure i've got the updated firmware? And after that, do I need to format the drive before I use it? Thanks

I'm currently using a 7900Gs and am happy with it, I can play fallout 3 etc etc, no issues for me. I'm building another computer for super cheap and I dont need the latest video card. I was wondering should I go to PCI express 2.0? Will motherboards for 2.0 express be cheap? Well anyways...

? Thanks, some pretty spendy shipping on e-bay.

Not a single good deal on harddrives. And everything else seems to be mediocre savings of $5 to $10.... WTH?

Memory DDR2 800 Memory prices have dropped so much they are dirt cheap, yet I can't find anything in the 4GB department, except for Gskill and its double the price. You'd think with prices as low as they are more companies would start selling bigger chips for higher profit margins? I want to...

I need 16 GB of memory right now for some massive audio files, and right now DDR2 800 is best for my money. I can't find many motherboards that are designed for DDR2 800 memory slots, it seems most of them are 1066. (the ones that allow 16GB of memory) So if I got DDR2 800 sticks would these...

I mean what programs actually even utilize dual-core let alone quad core? I remember years ago when 64 bit just came out people were going ape shit crazy over it. But most of those people didn't run programs that utilized it. So why should I believe quad core is going to serve me any...

My brother bought an Antec True430W Power supply in early 2004, and it's about time for him to upgrade his computer. We're wondering if he'll need a new power supply or will the newer mobos work with this one? Hes not into gaming but video editing. Didn't all the dual core systems begin...

I own the GA-965P-DS3 I think its revision 2. I was going to maybe get a quad core processor and 8gb of memory, should I just get a new motherboard too? Or will this one serve me well? Thanks

$119.99 + $6.50 ground shipping http://shop4.outpost.com/product/5161356?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG I was about to buy it from newegg for like $141 but found it here at frys.

I'm actually getting to the point where my computers are using so much power I trip the breaker if I turn on the AC or heater here haha. Need some computers that take less power and produce less heat, hows that coming along anyways? 65nm is pretty much standard now right? I can't wait for the...

I didn't really know it at the time but I ended up buying some 5 cas latency sticks instead of 4. They are about the same price now, and i'm wondering should I just buy 2 more sticks of the 5 latency stuff so I can have all my sticks the same. Will I even notice the difference though between 5...

Sorry I don't follow any news of any sort heh.

I can't decide, there is either really cheap UPS units, or theres extremely expensive units. Now I realize theres a sticky but to be honest thats a lot of reading and I dont want to read all the technical stuff about UPS' I just want a suggestion on something that can regulate the power I get...

These laptop coolers are too spendy...well the ones that fit my laptop anyways. So why not pick-up a small box fan, put it on its side and set the lappy on top. Won't that be more effective?

My laptop kicks its fan speed in too late for my liking. I want to control it to 100% all the time, can I do this?

It's been 2 months and there prices haven't dropped at all... 1 month left, retailers already selling 8800's for like 240.... evga has em for 350.... I'm better off reselling this card and buying from a retailer. Way to go evga!

Since the laptop I have is a desktop replacement, it is on A LOT. Does it hurt the battery in any way to keep it plugged into the wall all the time? For the times I do turn off the computer should I unplug the pack from the wall? To sustain battery life should I just remove the battery...

Seems like Everest home edition doesn't recognize core 2 cpu's. Anyone suggest another free program? Thanks!

I hear that it drys out or becomes less effective over a period of time, is this true? If so, how often should I reapply it? Thanks!

Are they completly out of the game right now? Their 2gb value sticks are like $80 more expensive then other companies gaming sticks?!!? They are always out of stock on newegg too, whats the deal ?!

Not looking to get crazy on an overclock, just something simple to get me up to about 2.2ghz. I purchased DDR2 2GB PC2-6400 800MHz Dual Channel Patriot PDC22G6400ELK I have the DS3 revision 3.3 motherboard but I hate hate hate it...mainly because it was DOA and possibly friend my CPU with...
