I think this is the first time in awhile where Intel has released a new chipset while also planning to release additional CPUs for it's old chipset. Does anyone have any opinion on which (X58 vs P55) will be more future proof? The reason I ask is because I just noticed the BRAND NEW...

Damn, I has no fry's =)

Anyone know when any brick and mortar retailers will have some i.e. micro center or best buy? BMF

I currently have the following system: D975XBX E6600 GeForce 8800 4GB (Random DDR-2) I was all super jazzed about the new Lynnfield CPUs coming out until I heard that A) SATA 6Gbps came out, B) USB 3 is out now C) an entirely new 32nm CPU would be out in the December/January time...

Hi there, While helping a co-worker build a new PC we're running into a funky snag, the first time we booted this box up it wouldn't boot. We cleared the CMOS (apparently someone tried to overclock and sent it back and it was resold to us as a new board....., cute..) anyway after that it came...

Hi, I have been having trouble deciding. My current box is overheating it is in a crappy "Coolermaster Centurion case" I've had nothing but problems since my box has been in this case, these are the specs of my current box: E6600 4GB DDR 667 eVGA 8800 GTS 640MB 250GB Seagate Sata drive...

Howdy all, I just popped in a couple of new Antec Tricool fans a 120 and a 80mm (120 rear, 80mm front). I connected them to the rear, and front headers on my Intel d975bx, it doesnt look like they spin at all I've tried enabling/disabling the bios fan control, etc.. but nothing happens...

Anyone have any idea where I can find the absolute best 22" monitor? I cant find any new reviews for monitors anywhere.. cnet.. tomshardware ign... I want a bright, fast, colorful (8bit) 22" monitor which is awesome for gaming and would do justice to a 8800gtx

Any decent reviews been spotted on the net for this lcd? Looks very awesome thanks, -Drew

I would suggest a Dell 1900 with 5150 or better processors. I believe at the moment you can put 8? SAS/Sata drives in them up to 500GB each for a 4TB raided array, also the great thing about dell is they have wonderful external storage arrays. Andrew

OK with all this 'Killer NIC' madness going on today it got me wondering, does it really matter whether your NIC is on-board or off-board, and also does it matter if your sound is onboard or off board.. Does the NIC being on-board use some of the resources that it otherwise wouldn't use? or...

Hi, I am trying to figure out why you list a 19" monitor as being the best gaming monitor? are the larger ones no good? i'm looking for a 22-24" monitor for gaming which has really good brightness and is adjustable, anyone have any pointers? thanks, Andrew

We've tried wireless in the past we find that it "just doesnt work" that well. How do you have your monitors positioned? Does anyone know if there is a way to transmit keyboard video and mouse over cat5? it would be awesome if all we had running for dvi/usb kbd/usb mse was a cat5 cable...

I have a fairly modest machine -- Intel D975BX (bad axe) motherboard Intel E6600 3GB of RAM eVGA 7600GT 256MB video card 1x normal 250gb sata using onboard sound, etc there is nothing i can do to the settings in wow to make it slow down...

I dont know if anyone else does this but me and my girlfriend have decided that we would rather have our PCs setup in our living room instead of up in our musty bedroom. The main reason being that we like to play World of Warcraft for hours and our 56" HDTV is downstairs. Does anyone know of...
