    In the market for a Quad core upgrade? Check this deal!

    Well, like I said.. currently the CPU's themselves are going for $100 more than that - plus you're getting a $265 motherboard thrown in.. Pretty good deal even in a month from now when you do the math.. (300 CPU + 265.00 or 244 at NCIX for the motherboard= between 544 & 565..) Still won't be...

    Massive Price drops on Core 2 Duo's

    Every review I've read about for the E4300 say it's a fantastic overclocker. If you can do without the Virtualization (which seems not to be utilized by all that much anyways), it's a fantastic chip. Running at 800 FSB helps you keep the timings at 1:1 as well.. That's actually the chip I...

    Never Ending Level Game

    Wow.. almost doubled my score.. 26. Is this one of those NSA recruitment tools? Or perhaps someone more sinister like Al Quaeda? :p Now that I've wasted an hour of work time at this, I really SHOULD get back to it (work that is - not the game..) It's just so damn addictive..

    Massive Price drops on Core 2 Duo's

    I think maybe the Q6700 might drop shortly.. Intel is probably waiting until the 6x50's debut with the 1333 FSB. The E6700 has dropped in price as well - essentially to the same price that the E6600 occupied last week - not a bad deal - although price wise, the Q6600 seems to have dropped the...

    Massive Price drops on Core 2 Duo's

    NCIX.com just dropped their prices on the Core 2 Duos.. The Q6600 Quad is on right now for less than $700 Canadian! Woo Hoo. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22211&promoid=1058 It's about time.. Also, the E6320 and E6420 are out and are finally shipping - taking advantage of 4...

    Watch this... and you may be able to die happy.

    I figured that went without saying - most everybody I know has seen Red vs. Blue - I was trying to throw a few out there that people might not have seen yet.

    A man can dream can't he? ;) Truthfully, I have seen some pretty amazing machinima out there, and this is just one more example of it. Some more to check out... http://www.snoken.net/v2142/?movies Check out Frost Episode 1 and 2 (battlefield 2 & 2142 mesh together for some pretty...

    Never Ending Level Game

    This is just cruel! Made it to 14 and now I'm stuck.. Evil - EVIL I say!! :mad: I just know I'll go home, and my 6 year old will look at the screen and say - there's what you're looking for.. On second though - maybe I won't show it to him - I'd be too afraid of being shown just how...

    Watch this... and you may be able to die happy.

    Great movie - It never ceases to amaze me how much talent there is out there. I've toyed with machinima before, but never like this. I don't have 1/10th the talent required to pull something like that off. It'd be cool to see other scenarios.. The babes from DOA up against Chun-Li from...

    usb stick question

    From what I can gather about ReadyBoost is that using the USB key isn't a replacement at all for system ram. What ReadyBoost does do is act as additional virtual memory space - instead of using your relatively slow hard drive for virtual memory storage, it uses much faster flash memory to cache...

    Looking to upgrade - suggestions?

    Thanks for the info. I've checked Can Computers out in the past - they have some pretty decent deals.. Actually, right now Tigerdirect.ca has the E6600 (oem) on for $279 or $299.. Seeing as I was planning on buying a different cooler anyways, this is a pretty killer deal. Let me clear...

    Looking to upgrade - suggestions?

    Moon111 - I have been reading different reviews for Power Supplies, and am basing my choices on the reviews I have read. For instance, I know that Fortron builds many of the power supplies out there (including the OCZ I had mentioned), but OCZ has a better warranty. I suppose I should have...

    Looking to upgrade - suggestions?

    Ok.. I'm looking to finally put my 4 year old Athlon Xp 2600+ to rest - I plan on making it into my kids gaming system. It's served me well, but I think it's time to upgrade. So my question to all of you then is, what should I be looking to get. I have a couple of 250 gig WD Sata Hard...
