    Faster CELERON D, or slower Pentium 4? Which one for my build?

    Grab the pentium D 805 with the new stepping(B0 i think) and you wont be sorry. Check out www.Tomshardware.com for the info. They got theirs to 4.1Ghz store bought. Im not saying that you will get that high. But the chances are very high that you will get a great overclock. Again like said above...

    The driver was released a few weaks ago. Accually my hard drive is getting ready to crap and I had to format the drive last week so everything is fresh and up to date. I did use a SP2 upgrade program instead of going through windowsupdate.com. Do you think that might have caused it? I did use...

    Detecting newly installed memory

    Are you adding or replacing with more. If adding, switch slots with the new and old ram and see what happens. Worth a shot. I had that prob with my old comp before.

    I don't understand it. I tried to install the Need for Speed Most Wanted Demo and it gave me this message and quits the installation. I have it installed, dxdiag says it is. I even tried reistalling(directx 9c) it but it skips the installing and goes to installation completed. So I tried to...

    ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 - Socket 939 with PCI-E and real AGP and Socket AM2 upgrade path
