Should I be concerned about my friends who regularly use marijuana?

I almost laughed when I read the OP ... are you serious? Hmmmm, let's see ... I don't recall hearing about the legions of pot smokers getting DUIs, barfing & pissing all over themselves, getting involved in domestic abuse ... oh wait, that's alcohol. Please, don't think that a .gov site is...

Alrighty, build experience was great! Put everything together, and had a uCode error on POST. Flash of the BIOS cured that. Final specs: P5B-E E6300 eVGA 8800 GTS 320MB Corsair matched pair of 1GB sticks Seagate 320GB 7200.10 SATA Seasonic M12 600w LITEON optical (SATA for the 965...

Been 'customizing' my Pandora stations for nearly a year ... it takes some time to dial it all in. Google PandorasJar for some interesting alternatives. Haven't tried it myself, but found it appealing none the less.

Any particular reason why? All the specs between the two appear to be the same ?

Ram limitations on p5b Board

What RAM do you guys/gals recommend for this mobo? I bought Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 for a recent build, so far so good but I haven't tried to OC yet.

I tried it after reading about it in MaximumPC ... and went back to Pandora (www.pandora.com) ... may be just me, but I can't figure out how to use it well, and every time I click a link it wipes out the music. Agree though, internet radio really gives some bands exposure. Accuradio is...

Ram limitations on p5b Board

To the original poster ... did you go ahead & try the 4 GB of RAM? I have a P5B-E and am thinking about doing the same thing.

Agreed about the module PSU, that's why I targeted the M12 line (& not the S12). After reading a thread about the 900 & wire management, modular seemed the only way to go. Regarding the video card,Tom's Hardware had a decent article on benchmark comparisons between various video cards...

SATA Question

Seems the Seagates have the best warrenty (five years) right now. Drives are cheap now-a-days. Best bang for the buck is the 7200.10 320GB model

First time DIY build

Thanks again for the replies! I play Civ4/Warlords quite a bit, so for me the more video card the better. Current (ehem, previous) comp, with all the upgrading I could throw at it, was barely adequate for playing it & that's not saying much lol. I was thinking that the Seasonic 600w PSU...

First time DIY build

Wow, thanks for the quick & informative reply! Appreciate it. Wish I could wait for the price cuts next month, but since my current home pc is totally dead (suspect hard drive) and the fact that I've been wanting to get a new comp for over a year, now is the time to just bite the bullet & do...

First time DIY build

Howdy all ... been wanting to build my own for some time now. Current home comp took a dump today so now it is a high priority to get a new puter in it?s place. Reusing all the usual suspects: monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. For the past month or two I have been researching a build. Uses...
