Wow, I am gone for a few weeks and sooooo much news is out. If you ask me, this is almost meaningless since Newegg is certain to charge "Canadian" prices and unless they have either a warehouse or service center inside Canada, we'll get killed with import fees. Competition is good, I just have...

Believe me, I am also not trying to be aggressive. My main point is that Intel is a business run by people that want to make money. They had to forcefully remove AMD from the high end fully at any and all means possible. Now that that job is complete, the time to start jacking up profits is...

The same crop of "look at my scores" will flock to the $1K+ chips like a moth to a candle just to show how impressive they are. Otherwise, there is almost no need for the rest of us to overclock since there is little gained in real world usable performance. I would not be surprised in the...

Unless it is a full retail sample (which it OBVIOUSLY isn't) then you cannot use that as an example. There have been stories released by Intel stating this. It isn't fud....

Her PC is probably AGP based for the video card. As long as your X1600 is AGP then it should work fine.

1. I do not understand the hype about Nehalem. I understand it is a new architecture, but it isn't any significant speed or power leap. 2. What about the fact that only extreme edition CPU's are going to be allowed to overclock? Stories are everywhere about the reports of the mainstream...

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 was the ultimate in the NFS series for me. It was kinda short, but it kicked major ass in the gameplay department.

I am quite lucky with cable and internet. I use Cogeco and they are a much better deal than Rogers, plus I use Vonage for my home phone so I don't get raped by Bell. I only pay $95 after taxes for 72 cable channels and a 10Mbit 60GB cap internet plan. I dislike Rogers for the same reasons you...

Sounds like the same story I read. The real problem IS that Rogers has the only decent network so they have been given a monopoly by the apathy of the competition. Sad really. My only real choice for a pay-as-you-go is FIDO and Rogers owns them so I am still effectively going to be giving...

I think NFS Pro Street was the first real attempt at anything worthwhile in that franchise, it just fell short by being poorly optimized (surprise surprise). I NFS Carbon was an abysmal failure, far worse than Pro Street. Another major EA Games flaw was very little widescreen support until...

Have you guys seen the latest requirements for buying an iPhone? You have to lock into a 3 year contract AND pay them $200+ for hte damn phone. The monthly fees/charges are just abysmal. I read an article in the Toronto Star the other day stating that Canada has the most overpriced cell phone...

As I pointed out, I am American. We, as Americans, are very spoiled when it comes to healthcare. Our private system costs roughly the same as the amount of taxes paid in Canada for social healthcare. The private system in the US is far superior to the Canadian system. Idiots like Michael...

We already pay outrageous prices for importing goods from the US and the US selectively ignores NAFTA for various products, especially soft-wood imports and farm subsidies that creates a very unfair advantage for US businesses. NAFTA is very one sided and benefits mostly the US. Believe me...

Michael Moore IS a sicko and deserves to be castrated and beaten for his idiotic attempts of personal glory at the expense of others. His one sided documentaries should be grounds to have him tried for treason. Yeah, I really hate him or any other Hollywood jerk that uses their fame for...

NAFTA is completely to blame for fuel prices. Canada is forced to sell oil at current rates and to export much of their oil. Canada could easily be self-reliant for oil if we did not have to export it because of stupid treaties like NAFTA. It's too bad the next US president won't get rid of...

Actually you're wrong. Dental needs are not free. Neither are anything eye related beyond injuries. In fact, most people in Ontario don't have any form of dental or eye coverage. You don't get seen unless you can pay. You also have to pay for most medications as well if you don't have...

A gallon of milk here is cheaper than a gallon of gas. If you buy those foolish 1 liter bottles of water for $1.50 each then you pay more for water than gas. As for distilled water, I have no clue since you can hardly find it anywhere here. I am talking bottled spring water.

You get a very basic level of free care, just pray you never become very sick or need surgery because the waiting lists will almost certainly kill you first. It is free, but the taxes we pay for it are far higher than the cost of better private healthcare that you get in the US.

The mis-informed speak. AMD is cheaper when you are looking for a budget system, but the lowest end Intel CPU can out-overclock and out-perform the highest end AMD setup. Add to that the Phenom which is really a pile of garbage (personal experience with one) then you'll see that AMD is...

As for the ram, Google each setting name and read up. Unless you are looking for every single last MHz (which makes no difference in real world use) you won't need to change much. Honestly, I pretty much run my stuff stock since overclocking doesn't help much and is more trouble than it is...
