    AMD vs. Intel

    See, AMD fans aren't any worse then Intel's so we can't go down that road. I love me some AMD procs but from what I have seen, Conroe is going to fist AMD until they come out with something better. But, as always, AMD will be about 6 months behind Intel in releasing the next best thing and...

    AGEIA @ Game Developers Conference

    I can't speak much of the card at this point but 200 will be a bargain for the capabilities this card can achieve. Stay tuned as there will be much more tomorrow and for the next couple of days....:techgage:

    Silverstone Strider ST56F 560W PSU

    A little FYI... I will be getting in a second 7800 GT next week and will plug it in and see how 2 GPUs effect the rails on this PSU. I am assuming that it won't matter at all but I am curious to see how it holds up with everything that I reviewed it with, as well as a second GPU. DarkSynergy...

    Where are you from?

    I live just west of Indianapolis. I have been here my entire life. I am about to buy the farm that I grew up on from my dad in a few months so I am excited about that. Loves the country!

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    I will have an Opti 175 in about a month so we can see how well they stack up. The 175 is still 2.2Ghz and each core has 1MB of L2 so I am looking forward to seeing how well it can keep up with the ol' Sandy that has those same specs, minus the extra core of course. :techgage:

    what free virus scanner do you use?

    I am currently using Symantec Corporation 2005. It is free from my university book store. Thats why I use it but to be democratic, as long as you can live with any performance hits that a background program like any AV will cause, most will do you well. I have read good things about AVG and...

    Never buy an Acer. EVER.

    ^That goes without saying for any product. Was my product out of warranty? Yes. Should it have crapped out so soon? IMO, no. I am more or less upset with Acer for completely blowing me off. It took them 2 weeks to get back with me, only to offer to fix my hard drive when I had tested it...

    Vizo Master Panel and Memory Heatsinks

    I would say no on that one. Rob might know something that I do not but I assume there is a cable running from the mobo to the faceplate. Basically just an extension cord for the IDE and SATA drive. Perhaps the SATA drive but I would say no to the IDE. Rob please correct me if I am wrong.

    List of Games You Think are Overrated.

    You probably wont find Far Cry in the Classic "Gold" "Platinum" hits section anytime soon but I wouldn't count HL2 out. They are however classic to me. I can play both through again because the storys were just that good. Welcome Blind, so glad you could bring your sence of humor over to...

    Tech Time!

    I dont want to sound snoody but A+, in my experiences, carries little wait in the grand scheme of things. It will help you and any/all certifications look good on the ol' resume but A+ isn't a difficult test. I do not have mine but have read through many practice questions and know a few...

    LAN centers and the future

    Interesting topic.... I certainly hope not. The local LAN center where I live is always busy and more often than not, full of gamers. I personally do not go to LAN centers because the PC I have at home is far more powerfull than the ones they offer up there to play on. I think that the LAN...

    List of Games You Think are Overrated.

    I will agree now that Halo 2 was over rated. Now I dont know if it's just because I loved the first one so much and had pretty lofty expectations but I will defend the first at all times. With the 360 now, being able to play Halo 2 on XBOX live is incredable! I never got the chance on the...

    Vizo Master Panel and Memory Heatsinks

    Oh good God! What I wouldn't hvae done for something like that in the past. The fact that you can hook up and unhook IDE & SATA drives externally is awesome. I could use this when testing drives to see if they work and the like. Great review for a good product.

    Corsair Unveils the World’s Fastest Production DDR2 and DDR1 RAM

    Certainly. A lot of it comes down to the time it was made and in some cases, chips made one week might yield high overclocks and as soon as the next week, the batches of chips are not overclocking as high. As frustrating as that is, and as constant as the manufactures want the process to be...

    Most Under-rated Games

    The one game that sticks out in my mind is Max Payne 2. This is an amazing game that just didn't get the attention that I feel it deserved.

    Hello, Welcome To The Forums. Have A Bit Of A Sit Down and Introduce Yourselves

    Canada has no beaches silly boy.... Right? I am a 25 year old dork. I work for Miller (Beer) as well as Rob. If it plugs in, more than likely I have messed with it and quite possibly ruined it. Computers are my life, aside from my wife and 2 daughters. Then comes XBOX or beer, both are...

    Thermaltake Blue Orb II

    With a larger fan to move more air, yes, it might help out a little bit more than your current cooler. I am in love with the fact that it cools one of my DIMMs incredably well. It is a huge beast.
