I don't really get scared by movies or much at all, but games seem to be different for me. Not scared, but definitely really jumpy. I can let myself get immersed if the game is good. Especially with a 22" screen, decent sound system, and pc. I just get into it. Get jumpy. My friends laugh...

You keep recommending a game that hasn't even set a release date yet... Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners Of the Earth was a wicked game. Try looking for patches though if you get it as some parts were a bit buggy. But creepy cool game. Made by Bethesda, creators of Oblivion. I think it was...

I would check for a bios update if he is correct about the amount of memory the board supports. If you have a floppy I would recommend you download memtest86, or the UltimatebootCD and test the memory to see if it is faulty. He has a 7600GS, and as far as the ones I have, and all the...

I worked for Best Buy in the computer department. The guys working in geek squad at the tech desk don't have to have any computer experience to be hired to work in it. Because of this, they run a diagnostic disk on problems that they can't figure out right off the bat. If its not something...

Evga has step up on motherboards now too? I thought it was only graphics cards.

If Source games are all he's playing then honestly he wouldn't really need anything more than the 6800. But as as long as the power supply can handle it, then any pci-e card should work.

I like how the case cools everything down well, but it just isn't my style. I'd prefer a full tower case as well with watercooling, as there doesn't look like a whole lotta room for pump/rad/res etc. Im not a huge fan of the mesh type fronts. I always have an issue getting the dust out of...

Team Fortress 2. Free Online Play Just plain awesomeness :D All that need be said

With that intel integrated gpu your not going to be doing much gaming at all unless the games from like 2001ish. That gpu is going to struggle on relatively low games like WoW. Don't expect to run Hellgate:London really at all.

Dude I like the idea. And I support it. If people don't choose to support it then don't. There are already charities for starvation, and famine, and all that. This is something different. If you don't like it, put your money into something else you consider helpful. I have donated 2...

If you don't have space to move your keyboard over to the right then your right hand is way over to left and is very uncomfortable. I would say try o;lk as well. Exact opposite as wasd and all keys around it are able to be registered just like wasd.

Your gonna want to be careful with that setup you got there. The 8800GT like most high end cards runs pretty hot. Couple that with its single slot cooler that doesn't perform terribly well, and your case WITHOUT any fans is something I would be very wary of. Out of that 300$ you just spent I...

General consensus is that those type of kits aren't worth getting other than the "ohh look at my pretty watercooling". A high end air system will do you much better than a low end watercooling kit. Swiftech's high end kits are an exception to that, but the low end kits fall right into that...

If they really are being released in early january, then wait. I can see waiting a few weeks for a new tech. But people who say "Oh Ill wait for a few months and see whats out" thats just stupid. I agree with -Omega-. It really depends on how far away the new tech is. Why get a lower...

What are you using to check your cpu speed? If your using something like CPU-z make sure your doing something to stress the cpu, because you may be seeing what its at at a lower multiplier. Sometimes you hit the fsb at just the right frequency that when it drops the multiplier, it the speed is...

If you don't notice it as it is I probably wouldn't try to look for it. Ya you will learn if your monitor is decent or just ok, but if it does have backlight bleed that will be all you see on those dark scenes once you know it is there. ;) But what fortyways said would be the same way I would...

Dude I wasn't saying it to be an ass. I was only comparing to the Pentium D in that they both chew up more than average power and yet we both own them. As for standards I was referring to the monitors, as the moment I brought up the monitor you bashed it. I was simply pointing out a monitor...

Dude, I was just trying to point out that the Gateway wasn't that bad. I have it and it is a nice monitor. I got it at a decent price, and its been good to me. No need to be an ass, I was just trying to tell him that its a monitor worth considering and has plenty of inputs. About power...

If price is a difference it is also something to consider. P35 boards can be found around the $100 range, whereas most of the x38 boards I have seen are $180-300. Also, if you go with a P35 board if you overclock your cpu your also going to be overclocking your memory. But if your only going...

Gateway monitors aren't a stupid brand. I don't particular care for Westinghouse, but did you know the panels in the 22" Gateway monitor are made by Samsung? I have the 22" Gateway LCD and it has been great to me. Tons of inputs for a monitor. You have your VGA, DVI, composite, and...
