Yea, I'm being totally serious. Until I bought these 2 500gb WD Blacks, I went through sooo many hard drives. I had a couple only last a few months before going belly up. I was getting pretty fed up. I don't think I put them through much stress - no more than anyone else. My laptop for work gets...
So the time comes up again that I need more storage. I currently have an intel SSD for my boot / game drive, and 2 500gb Western Digital blacks I've had for several years.
I am hoping to buy something that has been at least as reliable as the Blacks. Before I bought them the majority of my...
I'm weird, I usually like to buy things locally. Although in this instance, I almost had to. I almost always have bad luck with ordering online (including Newegg), and almost always have to RMA at least once. I don't know why, but my luck is just horrible with that stuff. When that happens I'm...
Was an interesting day yesterday. Went to Best Buy to grab that gtx660 for $200 out the door, but they didn't have any left in stock at that store. The guy found another store with 1 left about 30 minutes away. So I bought it right then and there (in store pickup) then went to go pick it up...
Hah, just found out my motherboard only goes up to pci-e 2.0. Should I even bother upgrading? How much of a performance loss am I going to get by putting a 3.0 card into 2.0 slot?
Also - is it worth it to look into the Nvidia equivalent? I'm going to run to BestBuy today and see if they have any good deals - but they usually have a lot more Nvidia cards than AMD.
lehtv - that's a great deal. Just might pull the trigger on that!
Seems like the 7850 is quite a bit cheaper, so I may go with that. I'm not really big into overclocking though - how big of a risk is it to overclock it and how much will it degrade the life of the card? I usually keep my cards for about 18-24 months - since that's usually about the time they...
I know it's an old video card, but I haven't really played any games recently that go lower than 25-30fps - so I've never really felt the need to upgrade. I usually never upgrade my computer until I find a game that or program I need to run faster. So now it's that time.
I just got Assassins...
Current Rig:
AMD 4600+ x2 64 / Biostar Tforce 550 SE
2Gig Ram
ATI 3850
I mostly use PC for websurfing / word processing / gaming. It's definately showing it's age in gaming.
I want to spend ~$300-350 so my choices are:
a) Mobo + E8400 combo
or
b) ATI 4870
I don't know...
Well even though they are different brands, you can see they are the exact same speed however the patriot timings are: 4-4-4-4-12 2.2v,
While the Gskills are 5-5-5-5-12 and 1.8-1.9v.
Not sure if that will screw things up.
One thing I am thinking, shoudl I just buy 2 more of the...
