    Which makes me sad, because this is a school district were talking about here. I wish it was some ones personal business, but i'm glad i don't have kids in school there.

    A+/Network+ Certifications Worth It?

    Personally its a load of crap, concidering my experience and that I have a degree in Network and Communications Management from DeVry University and that I am persuing my master's means that I'm gaining more computer knowledge. If i can tear down a PC and put it back together and have it run...

    THGC Old Timers: Whose in on a G80?

    I only look at cards that Cleeve has rated, hence the sig. Besides he only deals with the facts.

    Hardware to avoid

    I've had both good and bad things with any company. Maxtor i've had drives fail right out of the gate, then i've got 2 80gigs that have lasted me for 4 years now. I've had an ASUS motherboard fail, now i love my A8n-e and its rock solid. That's the whole idea about the site, find out what lasts...

    RAM vs Features

    I would change out my power supply if i were you. The main question you need to ask is if the power supply is propritary or not. If it is, you might have to buy a new case as well. I don't think this will happen, but it needs to be said, because we've seen it before. As for what size, i would...

    7600gt rated better than x850xt in a toms article?

    It also depends on the manufacturer of the Card. MSI has a nice one that blows outside the case as well. Might want to make a more direct statement about the paticular manufacture your talking about.

    Am I doing the right thing....

    As a boss once told me, deal with facts. We know nothing of anything coming from either company until its released. Get the best buy from the market you have in front of you, which is the CoreDuo. Anything else, your just waiting for the ship to come in.

    Crysis!

    It also depends on how expensive its going to be. When they do come out, the other videocards will all drop in price as well, but this is the nature of technology. Besides, Crysis was developed with DX9 if I remember correctly, so he won't get any of the eye candy by waiting, just paying a...

    A little scsi help please

    With everything thats happening concerning SAS or with SCSI vs SATA, you have a greater throughput with SCSI because of bandwidth, BUT more and more Corp. are using SAS (SATA OVER SCSI) for cost savings for non-nessisarry data.

    getting 7900 or 7950

    Thats the reason i like my 7600gt, no additional power needed. Runs just fine for me, but I am going to go with a x1900xt when i get the money saved up. I've got the wattage to spare for it. In my opinion, if you don't want to max out your PS, then got with the 7900gt, if your wanting...
