I have 3 hard drives in my computer currently, a 20gb maxtor IDE(used for booting and applications), a 200gb maxtor IDE(was used for everything else), and the newest addition is a 320gb WD SATAII. The sata2 drive replaced the 200gb maxtor. I also have 2 windows XP installations, one is located...

CPU effects on games, I disagree.

As far as measurable fps goes a faster CPU can have a big effect. I think that as far as playablility it makes no difference unless you go from the extremely low end to the extremely high end. I have a socket A sempron at 1.75ghz or 2.1ghz, depending on if I am gaming or not. When I put my...

Great deal free hd ps3 gaming system

These sites do actually work. But by the time you finish all of the offers and get the gift sent to you, you realize that it wasn't free and that it would have been 1000 times easier to go and buy it.

Overclocking a Barton 3000+

Pencil mod is a good thing for overclocking XPs as long as you unlock the multi too. too bad pencil just doesn't cut it, need to find something more permanent.

Socket A Bridge mod

Hopefully I will be able to find this a wally world tonight. I tried this originally and was unsuccessful. in the thread you linked to it says mobile only and I have a sempron 2500+. I figured I might as well paint 2 bridges instead of 1 and a wire. Hopefully I can find something soon. I...

Socket A Bridge mod

Where could I get conductive paint? would I have to order it online or would any retail chains have it. Also I am sure that it unlocks as I did it but only with pencil and as you indicated, it wasn't reliable and no longer works.

Socket A Bridge mod

Last night I spent an hour and closed the L5 bridges. I used pencil and was successful, but I went to sleep and to school and when I came back, I watched CrystalCPUID go from XP-M back to Sempron. I was wondering what I should use that is permenant but not that hard to apply to keep the multi...

Don't know how to pick a mobo for Intel D 920

I know the AGP requirement is gone but some socket 775 865 boards support the new presler with just a bios update. If you consider an 865 board you should look at the CPU support list and what new bioses there are before you buy it.

Ninja 2 ATX & Micro-ATX Mid-Tower Case, 400Watt Power Supply

The case looks alright for the price, but I dont like rebates. If Nashua has them I might get one because I couldn't find any in salem and their not helpful there.(In NH btw)

m:robe 500 photo/mp3/Digital camera...............warm?

Do you own an M:robe? Lots of reviews complain about it, but I took a gamble and i like mine a lot. Most of the cons that reviews stated I found to only be a problem to the most impatiant person. Go to the store and try it out. If you have big, meaty fingers, you might not like it because...

Which one is right?

I have a sempron 2500+@1.89 on an ASUS A7V8X-X board. The ASUS probe is giving me incredibly hot temps(around 60-70C at load). For a while during the summer I thought it was correct, but now it is giving me the same temps at about 70F ambient and with the case open. I downloaded speedfan and it...

Pentium D 820 Smithfield or Athlon 64 3800 X2?

I was looking at getting an 820 because i cant afford an X2 and that seems like the thing to do. If you can afford an X2 than thats the way to go based on performance and heat. As far as random bidding goes my friends dad did that and ended up with a corvette

motherboards with Pentium D support

I know that intel chipsets 945 and 955 support the Pentium D. However, I need a mobo that can support dual core and AGP, is there such a thing?

Another CompUSA 6hr in-store sale

I never heard of Norwood either. However, that monitor is the one that I am using right now. It is great for the price, but the stand can be a little bit bouncy. If you are not using it for games than it is pretty good.

Tom's Hardware was always okay. Somethings were wierd but only by a small margin. Like you said though I don't think I really trust the benchmarks anymore.

Need help building a computer

imo unlocking pipes is a little bit less dangerous because there are more ways to lock them again. My logic behind that set up was that the processor was better and the graphics card was not as good as the x800xl but close. The only concern I have about getting a 3200+ instead is how it...

This is really wierd. I was looking at PCI express cards and noticed that the 6800 vanilla lost to the 6600GT in everything. Something seems a little off there. what do you guys think

Need help building a computer

I'm not really as interested in upgradeability because this computer has to last 1 or 2 years. So, if I can get better performance, now and in the future, from s754, then that is what I would buy.

Need help building a computer

If i buy the connect3d X800XL from monarch for 269 then I could buy the 3500+ venice. However between the 3200+, the 3500+, and the 3700+ would I see any noticable difference ingame if I picked one over the other(using the same video card) I have a PSU that is powerful enough btw.

I don't need the case or anything else like that. I'm taking that from my now dead computer. I'm buying at least the motherboard and processor from monarchcomputer.com, but the ram and graphics card can come from anywhere else.
