    Motherboard/Memory Question

    On that PDF I see that it has little circles to signify that it will work, but I'm not seeing one for 4 Dimm. Does this mean I can't put 4 total? My plan was to start with one set, then to add another set of two later.

    Motherboard/Memory Question

    Is there anything special other than setting the clock speed? Will I have to adjust timings or any of that stuff?

    Motherboard/Memory Question

    Is this memory compatible? The issue I have is that it shows an Asterisks next to the various speeds and memory formats...why is this? Only one shows OC next to it, I'm just confused about this. I guess I'm a bit old school. Normally a board would say "Supports up to PC2000. Or Supports up to...

    Processor and Motherboard Build Advice?

    I have a semi modular Thermaltake 750w and they work great. The gold cert seems to be worth the extra bit of money as well. I agree. I would go with a more powerful single GPU, but he's talked about SLI for awhile so I figured I'd give him that option and leave it open. Another reason for the...

    Processor and Motherboard Build Advice?

    Modular isn't needed. The case has good cable management. It's not something that's required. I run a semi modular on my set up and while I would personally spend the extra money, my cousin likely won't. He wants price per performance. Also over clocking is super easy now days so if I have to...

    Processor and Motherboard Build Advice?

    Nice, thanks man. Yeah I don't know enough about price per performance CPU wise. That does seem to be a good fit, and some of the reviewers said they couldn't tell the difference between that and the 6700. I'm going to go with that chip then. Knocks over $100 off so that should be good. The...

    Processor and Motherboard Build Advice?

    My cousin asked me to build a computer for him. I'm not up on the best deals hardware wise. I just haven't had the spare money to upgrade and do a build recently. He said he has $1000 to spend, and this is what I came up with. It's over by $189.92 currently. Please note I gave him my old...

    Need New Laptop. Budget: $800-$900

    Pretty simple. I need something that will come out to no more than $900 with tax. It's for my GF's school work mostly. I'm hoping I don't get too specific on the requirements, but maybe we can discuss that further. I don't know a ton about the current state of the laptop market as I prefer...

    Parts help?

    Ok sounds good. I plan on over clocking eventually so it may be good to get anyway. I'm pulling the trigger. Thanks guys!

    Parts help?

    It will work if I overclock or it will work over all when just throwing it in? Again I'm not really privy to DDR3 and newer motherboard compatibilities.

    Parts help?

    From what I can tell it's not that much more expensive. I do plan on adding another set of two stick eventually. As far as supporting it, the board does say it supports 2133MHz O.C. I assume that means over clocked, but I think it should be able to handle it. Before someone sent me a build...

    Parts help?

    So I've decided on this. Does anyone see any incompatibilities?

    Parts help?

    Normally people experience locking up, reboots, or complete failure. This one boots and I can hear certain devices power on, but I've tried different video cards so...idk man. Either way its time for a new system.

    Parts help?

    The motherboard shows 1800oc max on the ram, but the ram you linked says 2133. You sure that will work?

    Parts help?

    So recently my system(in the sig) stopped working. It won't POST and doesn't beep with the ram out so I've caulked it up as toast. This is the first failure I've had of any kind(on my own machines that is), although I'm not surprised because it's really old and has been over clocked. In a...

    What are you currently playing?

    Just beat portal 2, great game, now im on Crysis 2. Insanely fun when you learn the controls and use them effectively. Defiantly waiting on battlefield 3 at this point. Should look downright amazing. Little screen shot :) http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/5546497/img/5546497.jpg

    VisionTek 4870 512meg

    Well he did say "near" so take it at face value. Ill tell people honestly. It will play Crysis on high a few settings on very high. HOWEVER you will notice lag, namely the carrier sequence at the end and various bits during the game. You must also be playing sub 1280x because its a 512meg...

    Can You Really Boost Your Internet Speed?

    Your probably not going to increase your "internet" speed. Maybe if you upgrade all devices to gigabit devices you could get some nice LAN speeds, but really theres nothing you can do. Your speed is throttled by your ISP so unless you call them and offer them more money....I dont see it happening.

    Wow Chrome Sure Spead Up My Web Surfing Switched from Firefox Have Windows 7 O/S

    There is no faster(at least from what we can notice). My Firefox 4 with adblock plus and Noscript is "faster" then just plain Chrome. Its such a small difference that it doesn't really matter. Personally I use Firefox because im used to it and its highly customizable.
