    College Laptop

    Looking around the 860m is pretty close to my 470 and I want to upgrade cuz this is starting to struggle and my monitor isn't 1080p like these. Compared to other crap on craigslist my computer should be worth like $500, and I have a friend who agreed to $400, so now I'm thinking I may as well go...

    College Laptop

    I don't have an exact budget, I'll get a subsidized loan to buy it but I'm getting a job so i won't have to pay interest as i'll pay it back in the next year, but that said I'm not going for a $1k monster, $500 is my goal but I'll say $800 max. You know what i want, should play games well when i...

    The Elder Scrolls Online Beta Keys

    i've heard that everyone agrees that the game will go subscription free soon after launch since they already have the microtransactions set up like SWTOR and some others and nobody is going to pay the 60 + 15/month. But anyways, it's buggy as hell. I had to call the support line after it not...

    FS/T: New 5" Intel(?) e-reader 4GB

    To avoid confusion, I'm not interested in buying it, but when did you get this? I got a basic kindle very similar to that a few years ago, but it was so much smaller as far as the border compared to the screen. Not trying to say it looks bad, kindles are sold at cost basically and they are still...

    Gift Cards: $20 Google Play & $25 iTunes

    I'm open to offers, just not like $15 for $20 worth, and AFAIK iTunes arent marked down much if at all. Heck, i've sold itunes cards on eby for over their value, but then you lose a bit to fees and you're supposed to ship it

    Video Card Advice Needed

    i believe i looked into solid works a month or so ago and their gpu suppost list only show firepro and quadro cards (AMD and Nvidia's professional series), but i believe there were a few for under $100. Nvidia would probably be best, but you really would be better off if you replaced the power...

    Is Xeon good for a gaming build?

    I dont think they require 2 cpus and i believe normally they'll work on non server boards since the mobo can see what it has and it works the same as an i7

    Is Xeon good for a gaming build?

    Hyperthreading is only a 30% increase in performance at most and few things use that, so overclocking an i5 to 4ghz (easy) will net about the same performance, and it can go further, while the xeon cant OC at all.

    Is Xeon good for a gaming build?

    That xeon is an i7, has HT, and more games will be able to use the cores soon so it could be smart, but overclocking the i5 would probably be better
