    AMD AM2 4600+ EE

    I am surprised that the EE is lower in price... usually it's the other way around. Technically speaking, since the EE requires less overall voltage, it should be the better overclocking chip. So, I'd personally go for the EE. To be honest, I am not sure there is even a huge difference, between...

    Is anyone looking forward to Vista?

    With Vista right around the corner, who is looking forward to it? By this, I mean that you plan on purchasing it right away because you -want- it on your computer. Currently, I have no real desire to install it, but will likely resort to it due to site responsibilities. But, here are a few...

    Anyone using IE7?

    Hey peeps, I haven't tried out IE7 extensively, except in Vista to download NVIDIA drivers or soemthing mundane like that. I am wondering what people think of it though, now that it's public. I'll probably upgrade my Windows PC later just to skim it over. I've been hearing surprisingly good...

    Zalman Reserator 1 V2 & Fan Kit

    Water cooling has a lot of benefits. First off it's more effective, water removes heat close to ten times better than air. Secondly it's generally quieter, this is owed to waters better thermal capacity and the fact that the radiators used have way more area than a simple HSF does. Today we take...

    Logitech G3 Laser Mouse

    Yes... this is one reason I dislike the mouse for my own use. As for weight, the G3 feels a -little- lighter than the MX518... but not equal. I am finding another weird problem with mine though... sometimes when I boot up the computer, the mouse will not work until I re-plug it in. Anyone else...

    iPod turns 5

    "Initial responses ranged from warm to openly dismissive. "Lame" was the final word of a reaction to the player on Slashdot.

    NZXT Adamas

    That's why I regret not having a camera to show that fact. Once I get it back I can though. Note the motherboard holes, especially the rightmost ones. Once the motherboard is installed, there must only be an inch of space left between the edge of the board and the chassis where you install...

    Boy Scouts Now Have Copyright Activity Badge

    "Panty Wearer", "Bend Over" and "Small Penis Proud" are apparently all potential badges coming in the future. In the end, I think they may as well merge scouts and girl guides into one unit.

    DVI cable not allowing monitors full resolution...

    Yeah, it's rather annoying. I am glad the cable works for my TV no problem, but I bought two so that I could use it on my main rig. Your problem sounds similar though... Check your cable to see if it's a DVI-I or DVI-D. DVI-I is probably -not- what it is... it in addition to the regular pins...
