    Typing from my new Linux install as we speak! I decided to install Mint 7 (XFCE). After couple people mentioned it I did a little research about it and everything looked good so I decided to pick that distro. So far, almost everything works pretty well out of the box. I haven't done any...

    Thanks for all the replies! I guess I should have mentioned that I have used Ubuntu before and that I do have some experience with Linux. I actually installed it on one of my other laptops about a year ago, but I had some issues with the power management (coming out of sleep/suspend) and...

    p45 (asus p5q pro) / e8400 E0 voltages for 400 FSB?

    After reading this thread and people saying that 400 should be a breeze on stock settings I went home and tried it, but alas its not stable. I have a Corsair Twin2x4096 and currently have the Vcore set to 1.225 and the vDimm to 1.9 in the bios. Is upping the vCore the only option or is...

    XP-90 Retention Bracket

    I just bought myself a new rig and I didn't know until today that my XP-90 will fit on my E8400. I was going to use the OEM HS, but why not change to the XP-90 if I can right? So I need to buy the retention bracket for the LG775 socket, but every place I checked charges so much for...

    500W or 600W?

    What are some other good PSUs? I haven't been keeping up with the latest stuff so I'm out of the loop. Instead of buying a 600W would a 500W be sufficient for the build in the OP?

    Upgrading my 5 year old rig

    18 amps on the 12v rail (single). Antec 400W OK, so I think I've decided on the the E7200 for the CPU and G.Skill DDR2-800 4GB for the RAM. Now I just need to decide on the motherboard. I'm leaning towards the P43 since I won't OC the CPU to the max, just some mild FSB overclocking...

    I was looking at the E7200 also since it does give great performance for its price, but if I overclock the E8400 wouldn't it perform that much better also? The budget I set was the low end number and I wouldn't mind spending an extra 100 or maybe even 150 if it would help build a rig that was...
