Hard drive Recommendations

One more thing, does anyone have any experience with the Samsung F1 drives? it seemed to get good reviews from tomshardware, but there were some bad reviews on it from newegg customers.... is this something I should be concerned about?

Hard drive Recommendations

I guess its the same principle as deciding what size RAM to use. I know I will need to upgrade this thing sooner or later (pictures and movies take up too much space)... But perhaps I should calm down and only upgrade as immediately necessary? I guess unless I plan on using a RAID, I don't...

Hard drive Recommendations

Actually, my future in laws got it for me as a wedding gift... so for me, cost is a significant, but obviously spending more wouldn't be completely out of the question But that was one consideration because for about $30 more, I can get 2x750 but then I would only be left with one HDD slot...

X-Fi problems

That's the thing... when everything was working (including sound card), it would stay that way less than a few days. I even tried reformatting and reinstalling windows... The entire system isn't that old. I bought everything on black friday I'm beginning to think there is just an...

X-Fi problems

So I decided to build a budget, small gaming rig. Everything was working fine, and then one time when I booted up my computer, windows freezes and won't finish loading. I tried everything I could, and then I took out the soundcard (creative X-Fi). No problems. I think its odd that at...

Use an old sound card or use onboard sound?

I thought that some dedicated sound cards free up your CPU in some games and lead to increased FPS... That's what I heard, but maybe it doesn't apply to this particular sound card...

New Gaming Rig

ATM i'm thinkin a good fry's CPU/mobo combo fitted with a good GPU would do the trick (and at least another stick of ram) The vibe I'm getting is just to buy the best friggin graphics card I can afford... is this the case? when does the CPU become a bottleneck? for these newer games? Thanks

I'd have to agree... i was checkin out fujitsu's version of xbrite, and even though it seemed like crazy glare in the store, once i started to watch a movie or anything else, I didn't even notice it... Colors come out better as doing a side by side comparison made regular LCDs looked washed out...

Gay Marriage

i agree... homosexuality is just like any other sin. God hates the sin, but loves the sinner. You will always find extremists for any group of people, but you can't generalize the whole group based on the actions or views of those extremists.
