lol. you could probably get someone to buy it for you...but i dont encourage going against your parents wishes ;)

are yall talking about single cores? i think it would be silly for him to get a single core for a multimedia pc...especially when he has that much to spend. besides, intel's in tests are actually not really that great compared to AMD when it comes to video (only sometimes in single cores). in...

you rented a PC game? either that's a pretty high tech idea, or that renting host is an idiot. anyway, my experience. i've only played the demo...and it was freaky.

heh, yeah it's tough finding someone. i used to be into that stuff, but fell out of it after learning some C++ and a little HTML. My dad taught a small class on it (he has like 23+ years experience, so he knows alot :) )

i know you can use programs to catch phone calls onto your pc so you can basically answer the phone on your pc and talk there. I dont think they all require a modem, as that would just be retarded of the software writers. after you get that recording it is pretty simple im sure. you could even...

i've always wondered this, but especially about the xbox 360. How do the console-makers build these consoles that essentially play at 1024-768 (x360 can do 1080i though, right?) with high quality video and at least 8x AA and AF at smooth framerates? especially for only a couple hundred bucks...

yep, me too. they're great. the layout sucks, but it's not difficult.

is that because of the FX's unlocked multiplier? i havent looked in depth into the two, but from what i've seen the specs seem pretty similar...

i'd recommend C++, Java, or C# for starters. try one of those 'learn C++ in 24 hours' books, they're usually quite good.

what about the opteron 185? it's a 2.6ghz dual core proc about the same price as an fx-60.

i'd take it man, that's awesome! :)

oh man, that is incredibly nice. i'm not even sure if my pc could handle that :-|

well you're most likely going to get the best performance from the x800GT from that list. if you're not going to be doing any serious gaming then it's not a big deal. for price and value, the nvidia 7 series GPUs are nice for their price, so i'd say the 7300GS was a good choice. after that i'd...

as you can see, it really depends for each person. i love big monitors, but not too big. if you are far enough away from the screen, bigger sizes are really great, but at 2-3 feet away 30" is almost too big to game on. I'd say 24" is a good max size for 'medium distance' gaming. I currently...

yeah, it might be your video card. halo is known to be an annoying game when it comes to resources...when it first came out, in all the gpu tests none of them could get it to average over like 60 fps. With my system (in sig) i couldnt run it that smooth either, so i wouldnt worry too much about...

looks pretty nice. man, 2ms. that's crazy. i really dont see the need for that fast, as I have a 12ms that i never see ghosting on, as well as an 8ms still with no ghosting. still, that looks nice, and like someone else said, the reviews speak for the item.

the opterons perform pretty much identically (sometimes better) than athlons in pretty much everything (gaming as well). like I said, they're both great. i'm guessing by new amd proc you're meaning the AM2?

yeah my ping jumps way around, i think it depends alot on how much bandwith the rest of the pcs are taking up and where the server is, like skidude said. I get anywhere from 30-200, it really depends.

i'm going to take it you mean athlon 64 (such as venice, san diego cores) vs. opteron single core series (opteron 146, 154, etc.) or amd x2 (3800+, 4400+, etc.) vs. opteron dual cores (opteron 165, 170, etc.). I dont know a whole lot about the single cores, so i'll say what i know about the...

or a higher end graphics workstation card, like an ATi FireGL or an nvidia FX 4500 :D (i think it's called the fx...anyway, it's like 3 gran)
