    Greetings, looking to speed up my sons computer.

    That system is very solid, especially for the games listed. I would upgrade the graphics card, if anything. The graphics card is always going to be the single most important aspect of a gaming computer (provided that you've got sufficient RAM--which you do). RAM will only get cheaper in the...

    New Build

    Windows 7 HP/Pro for $30 for students!!!

    20% off AnyDvD

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 running very HOT!!! SOLVED!

    HELP! Windows 7 x64 + PeerGuardian 2 + iTunes = Massive Hair Loss

    Yeah, I actually managed to get it working with a few workarounds. I've also found a nice IP Filter Updater utility for uTorrent, so everything's running smoothly now. Thanks! :)

    HELP! Windows 7 x64 + PeerGuardian 2 + iTunes = Massive Hair Loss

    Oh, that's disappointing. :( In any case, Peer Block looks like it'll do the trick. I think I'll try that tomorrow when I'm a lot less sleepy/tipsy. :) CHEERS to all for your input.
