    Smartphone for less than 20 USD per month?

    Moto X is a $600 phone off contract. Don't see how someone looking at the Lumina 521 could afford the Moto X.

    E2xxx and E4xxx overclock thread

    Also I want to add, is there any performance benefit from running the memory at 1:1 with the CPU? Coming from AMD and Socket939, running in "dual channel" mode was important. Is this the case with Core2?

    E2xxx and E4xxx overclock thread

    Great thread. I just want to make sure I'm on the right track. I just installed a new ABIT IP35-E along with 2GB G-skill DDR400, and E2160. All I have done so far is: 1. Set C1E to "disabled" 2. Set CPU ratio to 333x9 (3Ghz) 3. Set CPU Voltage to 1.425 4. Set Memory divider to...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    You are right I thought about Quad Core. But the fact that I'll also be doubling my RAM in addition to getting a C2D I figured I'll go ahead and see what this improvement gives me first. I went ahead and bit just now. Can't fight the upgrade bug :). I figure if I need more speed down...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    My Opty is a 165 Dual core, About an identical processor to your X2 4200+. Hmm I'm starting to have 2nd thoughts based on what you said. I don't even game much, mostly thinking of upgrading because I multitask quite a bit.

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    Thanks. Would a 400W PSU be adequate for this setup with a 8800 GTS or 8800GT? Also, would this be a worthwhile upgrade from a S939 system (Opteron @ 2ghz) ?

    Best single slot card around $150?

    sorry it's a GTX. And I'm not looking for an upgrade, just similar performance in smaller form factor (and hopefully just as quiet as the 7900 GTX).

    Best single slot card around $150?

    Basically I'm looking to replace my 7900GTS. I am fine with the performance but it's a dual slot card. I'm trying to do an even swap after selling my 7900GTS but right now there seems to be a huge gap in graphics cards. There are 8800s ($300+) and 8600s ($100). Is there anything out there...

    USB vs. PCI wireless network adapter, which one?

    Is one noticeably better than the other. Obviously I'd like to get the USB card for it's mobility/ easy installation/ plug and play etc. But will the USB network adapter take a hit in speed or reliability? For reference I'm looking into the following...

    There's your problem, it is impossible to get an HD signal from an S-Video cable. No matter what the source, even if it's 1080p, it will end up being 480i (SD) by the time it goes through that S-Video cable. You must hook it up with either Component or HDMI.
