    Computer Nerd's Help needed: Intel Core Duo vs. AMD 64bit Turion

    Other good brands for overclocking are Mushkin and OCZ, and I've heard very good things about G-Skill as well - just make sure to get the high-dollar stuff. Overclocking may cost less for processors, but you pay for it in cooling, memory and other high quality components.

    Computer Nerd's Help needed: Intel Core Duo vs. AMD 64bit Turion

    Totally agree. WD drives CAN be good, and they are cheaper usually, but I have had much better experience with other manufacturers. Never had a Maxtor DOA, never had a data error with a Maxtor. My BEST experiences with hard drives have to be IBM and Seagate. You sometimes pay a little more, but...

    Computer Nerd's Help needed: Intel Core Duo vs. AMD 64bit Turion

    You must have had some really bad experiences. What card did you have this error with? I've also been on the fence between ATI and nVidia over the years. I'm running an X700 right now, and I've run many All-In-Wonder ATI cards. I game quite a bit and I've only had a couple VPU errors here...

    Computer Nerd's Help needed: Intel Core Duo vs. AMD 64bit Turion

    The ATI 1900 and nVidia 7900 are comparable, but you have trade-offs. nVidia +: SLI is a more solid solution than the new/immature Crossfire Overall better benchmarks Quad-SLI solutions available for the uber-gamer [with tons of cash] ATI +: AVIVO gives better image quality than nVidia...

    ..then buy a better video card and spring for dual-channel RAM. If he was originally looking at getting a Turion or Core Duo, chances are he wasn't planning on spending for 7900GTX's in SLI.

    Alright, MaximumPC JUST had an article about this. It was the $1000 gaming rig. Here is what they put in it: Motherboard: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe CPU: AMD Athlon 3700+ RAM: 1GB Corsair PC3200 Video Card: nVidia GeForce 7600GT Power Supply: Antec TruePower 2.0 550W There were more components, such...

    Tell them that little girls worry about "dirty ickyness" and that a real woman would love a man who works hard, gets dirty, and is good with his hands.

    Computer Nerd's Help needed: Intel Core Duo vs. AMD 64bit Turion

    I'm surprised that you say this - the P4s are known to be desk heaters. AMD's Thunderbirds were hot, but in recent trends [the past 2-3 years] the AMD chips have been running MUCH cooler [usually 5-10 degrees C] than the P4's. Those P4c family [Northwood] heat like crazy. I have a 2.8c and it...

    Do your own oil changes!

    Oh, I KNOW it!!! I had ordered a 2JZ relocation kit for the swap, and I was going to put it behind the passenger foglight area or something out of the way, yet easy enough to access. The part went on backorder, and I got the runaround, so I got a refund and bought something else with the...

    Do your own oil changes!

    So, let me start by explaining a little... This is not a how-to, but more of an informative post and a little bit of complaining about products and services. I usually do my own oil changes, but last time I dropped by a local place. I don't want to complain about their speed, service, or...

    Al Gores new "farenhate 9-11" type movie

    What's scary is that many politicians will appear to change their opinions or image publicly in order to gain the popular vote. A co-worker has a semi-recent picture from the middle east with Hillary Rodham-Clinton and some politician on a military helicopter. I saw it and just about puked...

    Al Gores new "farenhate 9-11" type movie

    What scares me is that there are enough people who believe or agree with people like Michael Moore, that he hasn't wound up dead. I mean... he's a big enough target, it wouldn't be hard to miss. I believe in freedom of speech, but someone really needs to take care of "problem people" like him -...

    High School Career: Completed

    Good for you guys, sticking it out! I know that it's a pain while you are there, but in a year or so, you may miss it. I hated school but now there's not a week that goes by that I do not think "Man, life was so easy, so simple back then. I wish I could go back in time." Seriously, class of '97...
