    need help choosing a CPU

    Rendering pictures from what program? Is this for work or play? You may want to consider building a workstation with two quadcore xeons and 16gb of RAM.

    Trying to decide... Raid 0 setup

    I've got four WD6400AAKS drives coming in. I was originally planning to setup two RAID 0s with two discs each (video editing setup), but am wondering if I should set up a single 4 disc RAID 0 instead. Pros/Cons? Thanks.

    8 Cores, What's the advantage?

    How much RAM you got? I'm not sure about Premiere, but Adobe recommends 1.6GB of RAM per core for AE CS3. So rounding up to 2GB per core, you should have 16GB.

    Quad socket mobo for Intel chips?

    Are there any quad LGA 771 socket mobos currently on the market? Thinking about building a rendering rig but am not impressed with the Barcelona chips.

    Q6600 with WinXP

    Might be a problem with XP home? XP pro supports quad cores, dual processors (eight cores), etc. Plus, one thing that people may be having trouble with is using all four cores to the max in a single app. I believe this is more of a memory problem. Data needs to be fed to the cores to get...

    I am so confused! Q6600 + what mobo + what ram!

    I'm in the same boat as you. I will likely go with the Asus P5E board with the x38 NB. I haven't decided on RAM. I was planning to go with 4GB of Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800, since lots of guys overclocking the Q6600 well past 3.0GHz with 800MHz RAM at 1:1. If I'm not mistaken, DDR2-800...

    Q6600 OC vs Q9450 OC

    I hear there will be a big price drop around the 20th of this month. The Q6700 is supposed to drop to under $300, which is the one I'd get since it has the 10X multiplier. I've read that some rendering programs can make full use of 8 cores, so you may want to look into getting a dual socket...

    Possible to add a drive to a 0 array?

    Even if it were possible (I don't think it is), you would see zero speed increase with any existing data on the first two drives, including your OS.

    Wireless on desktop? 802.11n?

    Thanks folks. I would even prefer wireless-G over wired, as long as it's reliable. I've read a lot of complaints on Newegg about wireless connections dropping out on Asus mobos with built in wifi. However, I can only take those reviews with a grain of salt and am more interested in hearing...

    Wireless on desktop? 802.11n?

    How many of you are using Wifi with your desktop comp? If you are, do you have it built into the mobo or are you using a separate card, and how reliable is it? Also, is anyone using the latest draft of 802.11n? When will it be finalized and will all the currently available...

    North bridge chipset and wifi questions

    Looking at two Asus mobos. P5W-DH Deluxe (975X, Wifi) P5K Deluxe (P35, Wifi) First, should I even bother with wifi? I like it on my laptop but have read mixed reviews about wifi stability on desktop mobos. Next, if I'm using a Q6600 with 3gb DDR2 800, is there any point in...

    Aha, thanks folks.

    8800GTS, 320mb SLI vs. 640mb

    Thanks Lithan. Only issue is that all those cards you mentioned require pci-x 2.0. If I go that route, I have to add a few bucks to the mobo. How does the 8800GTS 512 compare to the 8800GT 1gig?

    8800GTS, 320mb SLI vs. 640mb

    Hello, $290 will buy two eVGA 8800GTS cards with 320mb. $230 will buy a single eVGA 8800GTS with 640mb. Which would you choose? I'll be running twin 30" monitors as a CAD/CAM workstation. I'm building an identical setup for my business parter for graphics and video production. I will...

    New rigs for CAD and videos

    Thanks folks. I've been reading up a lot on multithreading with AE and Solidworks... nobody's willing to give any concrete answers though. They say that there is some multithreading, but that could mean just 2 threads, or hardly using the other cores to capacity. I noticed the Q9300...

    Notebook CPU: T7500, T7700, or T7800?

    Hello, I'm in the market for a notebook computer that will be used exclusively for graphic design (Adobe CS3). I'm looking at a Dell XPS M1530 and have a choice of three processors: the T7500, T7700 (+$125), and T7800(+$400). Clock speeds are 2.2ghz, 2.4ghz, and 2.6ghz, respectively...

    CoD4 Tips

    Play HQ if you want tons of points. I was playing a 32man HQ last night on the smallest map... the one with the shipping containers. It went on for about 35 minues. I was constantly throwing stun and frag grenades with martyr grenade perk turned on. Ended up with 3500xp and 180 kills...

    So... CoD 4

    Here's what I did... Used claymores and duked it out at the ferris wheel (part 1). Then in part 2, when the helis started unloading guys, I ran to the right and all the way back to the apartment buildings. Most of the guys didn't find me, but some did from long range. They got sniped...

    So... CoD 4

    So what rank is everyone at in MP? I'm still a lower level sarge, but have found that an AK-47 with red dot, 3 stun grenades, deep penetration perk, and that other weapon damage perk are enough to make you pretty deadly. Enough to take the top spot from time to time in TDM. I guess you...

    After you finish the SP campaign, it unlocks cheats (at least that's what the dialog box said). Also, the easy mode pretty much equates to cheating.

    Download the demo and see for yourself. I don't think they're all that similar.

    So... CoD 4

    Short = MOH Airborne. Although I haven't completed all the missions yet, I can say that COD4 is much longer. Play in hardened or veteran mode right off the bat or you'll breeze through the game too quickly and suck in MP.

    So... CoD 4

    I've been playing the single player campaign for the last few hours. Very good game. The demo was the third mission in the first act (3 acts total). Anyone else play the AC-130 gunship mission? Holy crap, that was so much fun.

    Will this Pc be abel to do High Def output to TV ?

    Get yourself a $10-15 DVI to HDMI cable from Newegg. Radio Shack, Best Buy, etc sell $50 cables (for yuppies), which is a joke.

    Touchscreen on Cnet, how are they doing this ?

    The problem I see with Microsoft Surface, Apple iPhone, etc, is fingerprinting/smudging. Is SC Johnson going to make a killing in the next few years thru increased Windex sales? Then again, most people are slobs and probably don't care. I, on the otherhand, and paranoid about this sort...

    Multiple Monitors, 4+

    I've been using dual monitors for a number of years and it's no longer cutting it. Unfortunately, my Asus P5B-E motherboard only has a single PCI-x16 slot. Is there any way around getting a new mobo? I suppose I could get a PCI video card but how will it perform? I've got a spare 7300GT...

    Old Mozilla Mail

    I have some mail files that I used with the pre-Firefox Mozilla browser, but I no longer have the browser. I can view the files in a text editor, but it's fairly strenuous since every single email is in one big file. Are there any clients that will read the mail files? Thanks.

    Where's my performance bottleneck?

    Hmmm... when I'm running the RC flight sim, the HDD light hardly goes on. Blinks one every 3-5 seconds. Also, when I turn off shadows in the sim, performance increases quite a bit. Would shadows have affected system memory? I did an experiment and ran a bunch of programs at once...

    Need input fast - about to order

    Definitely get widescreen. I use dual monitors and still like it. A big benefit is that you can open up a window and still see your desktop icons and various small window apps such as PC health readouts, buddy lists, etc. Furthermore, media is pretty much all widescreen these days. All...

    Where's my performance bottleneck?

    You guys are right, 100fps is fine. I wax mistaken because the FPS keeps jumping around. The problem is that it reaches 100fps but then drops to 60-70 FPS, which starts to get choppy. Once it goes below 50fps, it's way too annoying and I have to start turning off graphical features... trees...
