    Your thoughts on Quad Core?

    Well, depending on how far they drop the prices of the Q6600 with the upcoming April 20 price drops, I just might have to eat my own words if I buy one. Although, the E6420 is screaming my name out very loudly, LOL!

    Need advice on speaker set

    They are on the way to me and should be here tomorrow or Wed the latest. The main reason I went for them is the digital input and the impressive specs for the $$$. I needed something around $100 since my Z-680's went into my media room and the price of these is amazing. I also got free...

    Vista's Security..the honeymoon's OVER!

    I have never had any problems with XP that I did not create myself. I have never had OS stability issues, and everything I have ever asked of XP has worked right from the very first try. Apple PC's are not for enthusiasts. THey are for users only. There is no fun at all in a PC that I cannot...

    Vista's Security..the honeymoon's OVER!

    Now lets consider I spent about $1200 Canadian to build my PC, including very fast ram and 2 video cards for SLI. I have 240GB of hard drive space as well. Here is a link for the MAC PRO: http://www.macreviewzone.com/html/reviews/guides/hardware/macpro_first.shtml The cheapest model is $2K...

    Vista's Security..the honeymoon's OVER!

    Since I don't let people build computers for me, I will never know. Nor will I ever care. I built my PC for 1/4 of what a comparible mac would cost and it easily outperforms your mac as well. I can overclock my system and add in any parts I want since they don't have to be mac compatible. My...

    Vista's Security..the honeymoon's OVER!

    OSX is not cracked because the amount of people using it makes it senseless for hackers to spend any time on it. Since I like playing games without Windowsemulators, I'll stick to my "unsafe" XP. I hide behind a firewall anyways plus I don't surf porn and look for free software and music...

    Your thoughts on Quad Core?

    I would say you are wrong. Just because it is a smaller process does not guarantee a cooler chip. Until they put 4 separate cores on the die, and the 45nm are not going to do that, they will still be furnaces. The sad truth is that the Core 2 Duos and the Quads could care less about running...

    Your thoughts on Quad Core?

    Once the price drops hit, Quads will start becoming mainstream. But if you ask me, no processor is worth $1K+, I don't care how fast it is.

    sound cards

    In my opinion, Creative has nothing that comes close to the sound quality for music and movies that the C-Media 8788 Oxygen based soundcards has. I have tried so many Creative cards and they do sound good, but they just don't compare to the really good C-Media based cards. That Razor has the...

    sound cards

    Another sound card to look for is the Sondigo Inferno. It uses the same chipset as the X-Meridian but is half the price. If you plan on using the Optical S/Pdif then the Sondigo is just as good as the X-Meridian.

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    I'm sorry, it seems that we are missing each other. I only vilify Al Gore personally because he is high profile and an easy target. I was trying to imply that EVERY rich person living a lifestyle of much excess with huge 10,000 square foot mansions with heated indoor pools for their dogs ALL...

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    What I meant was that without everyone taking some responsibility and doing their part, the government cannot do it alone. Everyone wants a miracle answer from the government that will not interrupt their cozy lifestyles when the only thing that can truely make even a minor dent is a radical...

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    Lynch Al Gore and there will be no more global warming from the stench that is eminating from his mouth. In fact, if you take out the entire Gore family, you also protect the environment from their evil energy usage and Tipper will never get to censor the music industry like she so desires...

    Fan on the south bridge

    Not so much that I had troubles with it, but when I had this board, I was overclocking the hell out of it and running a pair of 6800GS's and had horrible temps and stability issues until I made some major airflow changes and got the chipset temps to stay under the 50C mark. Plus, those fans are...
