Smokin 25pack DVD+R Dual Layer for $30 Compusa BM

Wag: Dunno find out for yourself at http://club.cdfreaks.com/ I also wanted to add that the NEC 3540 can be had for less than $40 these days and it is quite a step up from the 2X00 series drives. For the cost of a spindle of media you might want to think about upgrading, if it isn't broken...

You guys are all wrong it is bugs in the core. You need to take the processor out and then hit it with a hammer repeatedly to release the bugs, it will stop squeaking.

Upgrading PC - which CPU should I get?

Well with no budget in mind get the fastest CPU on the list, the 650. It will be the "best". Unless you use software that is written for dual processors or cores then skip the dual core solutions, but you would already know if dual cores were for you so skip dual core. Seriously, you did put out...

Cool n Quiet safe on non-OC system

Yes it works on non-OC systems, would quite pointless if it did not... yes it works on XP SP1, but why not upgrade to SP2? I'd recommend starting here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Pro...on/0,,30_118_9485_9487%5E10272,00.html

Ceramique or AS5

I've used them both, performance is about the same. I think Ceramique cleans up a little easier, but AS5 is supposed to be 1-2 C cooler. SVC ships free you could try both and come up with your own conclusion, I think both are about the same overall. http://www.svc.com/thermalgrease.html

Nice price for an ATI 9600 128MB 128-bit video card. Most other cards in this price range are only 64bit cards, but since Newegg has both the 64bit and 128bit version of this card it does seem to be a legit deal. It is passively cooled so you may want an active cooling solution if you want to...
