    ATI Radeon X800 or Nvidia Geforce 6600GT?

    I'm currently looking at <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127172" target="_new">this </A> x800. I read a user review and he said it doesn't have DDR3, would that make a huge difference?

    ATI Radeon X800 or Nvidia Geforce 6600GT?

    I'm currently in the market for a video card. I haven't been following up on video cards for about three years now. Skimmed through some of the articles and guides that tom's has , but still not really sure what I should get. I'm a casual gamer looking really to just play HL2 and its mods (CS...

    sony 1GB MD vs Ipod

    The mp3 does not have to be encoded in real time and the time it takes to transfer an existing mp3 to your minidisc player will vary. The reason is encoding depends on processor speed. If you own a Piii, it will be slower than a AthlonXP. Buy the Ipod. Stay away from Sony, you have to...

    Athlon64 kills P4 in Doom III

    I mentioned the prescott being hot in one word and you spend a paragraph telling me how YOU personally don't mind it. You keep claiming that the Prescott is faster(marginally) than the northwood in Doom III, and that justifies you to deal with the heat and power issues that come along with it...

    Athlon64 kills P4 in Doom III

    If you are spending that much on a processor and trying to get the best out of it, why would you buy generic ram anyway? Its like getting a getting a Porshe but buying second hand tires... Kanavit, why don't you just admit the the A64 beats the room warmer.

    NEC2510 or Pioneer107?

    I don't know where you heard that NEC has the best burn quality, but thats not really true. Both the Nec and the Pioneer are quality drives and will work with most discs. Actually from experience and reading up on various other forums, Pionner burners tend to have a better rate of success with...
