    Enthusiast Look: Windows XP 32-Bit versus 64-Bit

    Hey, thanks for the comments. They are exactly what I am looking for. Firstly, I do agree with you with synthetic benchmarks. I have seen others using them around the web, so that's why I included them. I didn't expect much of a performance increase, but I stated as such. Some people believe...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    Yeah, they do have a very high price point. Even still though.. I don't really see a reason to get one at this point, unless you do run a lot of multiple processes at once, or are into multi-media editing.

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    And if so, what do you plan to do with it? Just curious what type of people are buying Dual Core. I have a feeling a lot of people will buy it, not knowing what it's really for, or without knowing the lack of benefits they will get for it.

    Enthusiast Look: Windows XP 32-Bit versus 64-Bit

    Glad you enjoyed the article! You certainly didn't waste money on your 64-Bit though, as you still get killer performance. If you compared benchmarks from your CPU, to 32-Bit CPU's of the same speed, you would see the performance differences. Once Longhorn is released, hopefully we will...

    Since Windows XP Pro 64-Bit was released, there has been a lot of speculation of whether it would help current gaming or anything else in general. I put both versions of the OS through a round of benchmarks to see if the 64-Bit does indeed offer any advantage. Feel free to view the...

    Tabula Rasa- Slaughtered

    I agree 100%. It wasn't a small transformation, they changed a LOT. Personally, I like the way it is now as well, but I wish they hadn't changed anything. Before, it was unique.. not many MMO's like it.. but now as you said.. it's like many. Really don't know what Garriot was thinking...

    How I keep my HDD's cool..

    I've been having a problem with heated HDD's lately. I have three, and they are on top of each other, and are usually hovering around 45ºC - 51ºC. To me, this is too hot.. especially since it's heating up my entire room. It's funny how little I had to do to remedy this problem. I just...

    What could happen if you overclock too much..

    Well.. it wasn't *really* 4GHz, so the temps kept around 40Deg. Really, it was 200*10, but it thought it was 400*10, which is technically impossible.. even if I had the thing hooked up to LN2. Had to clean my CMOS twice to fix the problem, but it's all fixed now.

    Password Protect a Hard Drive

    You may want to try this out. Never used it, but it looks like something you could use. You can't simply password protect a harddrive through Windows, though.
