Looking good man! That's some excellent scores across the board. The led's I could live without, but I know other's love 'em. I'm not in need of ddr2 yet but with the new AM2 processors coming out, it look like a fine addition to a performance rig.

I'd suggest a system restore. You can find it in the Help and Support option on the Start menu. It's listed under Performance and Maintenance in the Help and Support window. If you've got any antivirus programs you should have run those first. I don't know all of the programs you've got...

That's not as efficeint as it sounds. If you were to run the data parallel you'd have to split the processes. Then the data would have to be able to coincide with each other while it's being processed. Then put back together to form the single thread. With processing speeds these days, leaving...

This chip looks like an excellent addition to aid performance. If it works well, it'll tremendously reduce cpu usage for physical interactions within the game. That'll mean higher framerates and better graphics. I love it!

I don't like Dell for the simple fact that it's harder to addon components without causing it to freak out. We had a computer in our art class and the teacher wanted to add another stick of ram and they had to buy a $120 dollar stick of 512 only because it only, was compatible.

I don't beleive many of you know how much time and effort go into the coding of Windows. Many aspects of the os are programmed by individual teams and then put together. One team doesn't know what the other team did or how it works exactly. These individual modules are then compiled together to...

lol @ my typing I meant that using a PCI or actual sound card you reduce the amount of processes that the cpu and northbridge have to handle.

The only time I ever noticed a driver error or problem was when I was using the wrong graphic engine (OpenGL/D3D). Other than that I never had a driver error. I updated regularly, or when I bought a new game, but that was it. Ati did have problems a few years ago because they didn't have all-...

Y-you can... an mp3 downloaded off of itunes can be saved on say. .a Creative Nomad or Zen. You can't use itunes to send it to the player, but the software comes with those so you can. Am I the only one that sees that?

Dual core is very much a logical choice these days. You get twice the operating power out of a single chip. For instance, you can run a game one one core and at the same time run your antivirus or any other program on the second core. Speed is relevant to the core. You won't slow down your...

I'd rather watch Star Trek TNG than most other shows out there, but I don't HAVE to watch it. Some people go overboard with it. I've always been interested in space exploration and some of the things in that show could be the future. Will I ever see it? No, probably not, but think about their...

Yep! :D:D:D

I wish I could find the circuitry schematic, but I can't and it's late. Basically, using onboard sound creates more data for the northbridge and cpu to process. An onboard sound card reduces this by processing all the sound information then sending the data out with less interference to the...

I noticed FireFox was a bit slow when I first started using it, but found a solution in <a href ="http://www.totalidea.com/freestuff4.htm">FireTune</a>.

Opty 146 max of 10x multiplier 148 max of 11x 150 max of 12x etc etc Many are using the 146 and 148 simply because of the multiplier. You put a 10x with a 300mhz fsb and get 300x10=3.0Ghz. It's easy to count and many just want to hit that magic 3G spot. I know I do. If you can keep it cool...

I use onboard sound, but all I have are headphones. If it's theatre and quality sound reproduction you want, a good sound card is the way to go. It reduces system resources, and gives a higher quality. You're wasting money if you've got great speakers and onboard sound, though. If you're going...

I've personally bought more movies and music because I've downloaded songs or video from artists. Software is the same way with me. If there's a reasonable price tag on something I want, I'll usually download it and try it. If I like it or think it's worth the price, I'll buy it. I don't think...

Sennheiser, makes some excellent products. I picked up a headset by <a href = "http://www.alteclansing.com/product_details.asp?pID=AHS302usb">Altec Lansing</a>, which is usb AND stereo adaptable. Sound quality is pretty good and wears easily. Should be about $25-30 in stores. The usb part is...

I don't like the power switch to be honest. I too often swap out cd's or move my case around, and see that as a possible drawback. If I accidently turn the switch off, the first thing I'll notice is no video response. Then I'll immediately start looking in the case and wires. I would have liked...

Welcome Andy! Hope your stay's a good one :D.
