hi. does anybody know the correct technical names of the following fan connectors? like the 2 pin ones, 3 pin ones and the newest 4 pin ones (not the molex connector but the fan connectors on the motherboard) friends are calling them molex 2 pin, molex 3 pins but what would you call the...

sorry didn't read those posts, will do that later when i get some spare time. but i think there's some misunderstanding, you took my statement in a different context than intended. i was talking about the pre-multicore era, when smp only existed on platforms with more than 2 processors. and i...

nice post, stirred up quite a debate amongst us. I'm sorry, but all of you quad core people are delusional, and let me tell you why. first and foremost, i don't care what people tell you, the truth is, c2d owns quads in MOST games. next, who can remember parallel processing and smp? how they...

no, he said it failed at 400mhz, so supposely he went back to 9*356=3.2ghz. how he got to 4.0ghz wif a e6600 at 400mhz fsb, is anyone's guess. 3.2 is by no means "incredible". shoulda try something between 356-400. 42c load would give you plenty of headroom to push for more.

har har har. *beep*cking dumb ass ubuntu kiddie running gnome thinking he's cool. Pard' me nachowarrior but do you really think you know *nix enough to flame windows? Heck you can't even put a complete sentence together along with your overused ellipses. You can't even grasp the simple...

Thank you. If you were to critique tg's articles, please know what you are talking about. people will not treat you nicely when you go out on a limb and criticize others' work while you lack a thorough understanding of the intricate subjects that are involved. You sounded like a clubbag and...

yeah...if my budget constraint absolutely cannot run over 5 bills, this is what i would do: buy a plain dell box with amd 3600+ whatever processor for 220 dollars. throw away the graphics card that comes with it and buy a better one. this was from yesterday: Dell Dimension C521 AMD Athlon 64 X2...

if you like intel, fry's electronics has intel c2d 4300 + mobo for 120 this week. decent 2gb of ddr2 can be had for about 80 dollars cheap case wif power supply is another 50, give or take a bit 250gb hd, 60 dollars more or less? the rest can be spent on a graphics card. oblivion is one of the...

you gotta psu? then use kill-a-watt P3 P4400 you dun gotta psu and wanna estimate power draw? then google for 'power supply calculator'

that is not for people on a budget.. perhaps you were trying to be sarcastic? anyways...so the p4 3.0, i reckon it's 775 and not 478?

lol good one randomizer files are for girls' nails and I would like staffoffs like dat ps. another kind of standoff i'd like to have is when i hold a gun to my baby mama's head and the popos surround my house.

I can't remember how many times i've had the same problem. damn brass standoffs short my mobo out so often that nowadays i use only 3 brass standoffs to keep the mobo in place, and for the rest i use nylon and plastic ones. unfortunately, nylon/plastic standoffs arn't threaded, they are only...
