    CPU, motherboard, or memory problem?

    Hello, Have you tried to flash your bios to the newest version? From the number of MSI boards I have dealt with they allways gave me trouble until updated the bios. Since you swapped the ram for a known good set I really doubt the ram is the issue. The CPU could be bad but I think it is...

    Onboard Audio question

    A "channel" is a another name for a speaker. A six channel system = six speakers. Dolby Digital 5.1 is a 6 channel system (Center speaker, L front, R front, L rear, R rear, subwoofer).Typically on board sound does not perform as well as a sound card but most people would be happy. As long as you...

    Desktop PC Platform: Killed By Overclocking

    It is all about choice. If you do not want to pay out $2,000 just get something affordable. There is nothing wrong spending more if the product is worthy of the investment.

    Asking for ugrade advice. with poll.

    Shadowssong wrote The answer is I would not get too much of a change in performance. I am tempted to go to the 955/965 C3 stepping because of its lower power use, ram spec increase to ddr1333 (I have ddr1600 installed) and greater overclocking potential.

    Asking for ugrade advice. with poll.

    I am planning to update my computer in the near future. I was curious if I should get a new 965BE C3 stepping (my present processor is a 955BE C2 stepping) or I should wait for the new 6 core AMD processor to come out. I like to use my computer for videogaming and some video transcoding work...

    Fermi is going to change gaming forever

    Before I can believe Fermi (or any other card for that matter) can change the landscape of gaming forever, I have to first see the card in action and gauge it over the course of time. I hope for Nvidia's sake, Fermi performs better than AMDs 5000 series cards.

    What the heck is going on there at Nvidia?

    Whether I buy Nvidia or ATi depends how the "Fermi" will perform vs the 5870/5850 cards. If you happen to hate Nvidia, just buy ATi and be happy with your purchase.

    5850/5870 >> ? Nvidia equivalent

    Wait for the Nvidia "Fermi" for comparisons. Both cards will be able to run DX11 games.

    AM3 or i5 for Gaming?

    It comes down to either better performance(i5) or better price(AM3). I prefer AMD because they are priced well, and tend to have long life cycles for their sockets.

    windows 7 installation question

    I like to install new hardware such as my motherboard frequently. My question is, if I did not have to load any motherboard drivers from my motherboard CD on my last windows 7 installation, would I have to reeinstall windows 7 again for the new motherboard? Any advice is appreciated.
