Unless you want to get absolute cutting edge, now is a good time to buy. We have cheap graphics cards, cpus, and incredibly cheap ram. This time last year, or maybe a little before you couldn't buy a decent quad core cpu for 200-300$ and ram was twice as expensive and there wasn't a decent...

I highly recommend you disregard both. I own seven gamepads, The n50, the n52, the Saitek Cyborg, the Ideazon Fang, The WolfKing warrior, and both versions of the Flexiglow CyberSnipa. The main reason for not getting the n52 or the saitek are the lack of buttons. I find it impossible to play...

Im just curious if there is any way to get a game to show increased framerate from cpu speed. Would turning the graphics down or trying a different game, maybe a cpu intensive game? I can play all of my games just fine, I'm just curious now.

Hey everyone I just overclocked my e6600 to 3.8ghz at 1.5v a couple weeks ago. Was really shocked because I tried before and only managed to get 3.2ghz before it crashed, but that was on a stock cooler. This time, I tried something rather.. unconventional. I live in Virginia, USA and it was...

Arma - its a new game, an advanced version of BF2. It has infantry combat, jet combat, armor combat and flag capping. Huge environments. http://www.armedassault.com/ theresa demo available as well, it doesn't play exactly like bf2 and the control reconfigure menu is a mess. It also has a...

That was a bloody good call on that motherboard, kudos on your memory skills.

Please explain what "it just flash one" further. Describe that differently please. To me, it's not clear what your problem is. I'm guessing it's a hardware problem from your monitor not showing an image and your keyboard's light not coming on. If I were you I would try to isolate the faulty...

9700 pro would be even more nostalgic. Just read through an old PC gamer where they were promoting the "new" 9800PRO for only 440$. Heh. I rofld at that myself...

Are *any* of you surprised at all??? I sure wasn't. I knew that the first gen cards would be this expensive. I'm only hoping that the 800$ pricetag isn't just because it's their new flagship card, it had better have a good deal of improvement over the previous flagship card to truly be...

It's alot more than than 40% on some games, oblivion is one...

I'm not buying a dx10 card till they get a nice price drop. Would you buy a x1900gt for 200$ when you could get a x1800xt? Nope. SLI is for enthusiasts, it's only a viable upgrade option if people are too lazy to sell their old vga on ebay.

Only heat and noise wont be an issue, the fans only come on when the core gets hot. Performance wise omg it pwns the 7600gt. But either way it wont matter since he wont be playing games

Do a minimal boot. 1 stick of ram, no sound card, no cd drives, mouse and keyboard only. Take your mobo out of it's case and set it on a cardboard box, this will make sure your motherboard isn't shorting out due to contact from the metal case. If you remembered to put the raisers on the case...

Being happy with your mouse doesn't mean it doesn't suck and it certainly doesn't mean it is greatly holding you back in your performance in games, wich it most CERTAINLY is. Not having a gaming grade mouse will limit you, using a office mouse is pretty sad when you have such a great computer...

The fx-55 is much more than a 600mhz boost, it will wipe the floor with your 3000+. For you though, a graphics card update will do you much better than a cpu update. Overclocking is a very good way to get more performance. You won't damage your parts by overclocking, if you do you are the most...
