    Widescreen or dual monitors?

    I am thinking about doing the same thing however curious how I can play Battlefield 2 on one monitor and say see emails and (sic) work on another at the same time. Does this require a program or do I have to run games in a window?

    Socket 478 or 775

    Yeah I see that one (MSI) thanks for pointing it out to me - the reason I went with the other one is because I am going for a SILENT Computer and the X1300 has a large heatsink without a fan. I also changed my mind and I am going to get the Ahanix MCE301 Media Center Enclosure Model #MCE301S-A...

    Socket 478 or 775

    So basically your saying to go with a Pentium M or AMD? Asus does not make a PM motherboard so you need to put the CT-479 Adapter on it - I am afraid of the noise level it could produce (heatsink and fan) and I can not find any reviews either that state the db level from that fan. So I am...

    Socket 478 or 775

    I am pretty stuck on ASUS because of the way they treat thier customers and thier tech support. Anytime in the past if I had a question I could call them and speak with a human, not in another county that cant understand me and gave me the answers I needed with results. Thier boards are stable...

    Socket 478 or 775

    The PD 805 is slow? Its a 2.66 Ghz dual core - shouldnt this be plenty to run MCE05 or Vista down the road and play DVDs and MP3s? No OC really will be needed/used.

    Socket 478 or 775

    Lol - your right it was late and I listed the wrong board - the other ASUS board uses the socket 478 and this one is a 775 - which I think I want to stay away from the hot prescotts.

    Socket 478 or 775

    I am going to be putting this in a MicroATX board and case. ATM I dont see much selection of any AMD MicroATX boards. I found two MSI boards that use the AMD, model RC410M-L and 945GM2 H-F - but I will need to do a side by side comparison tomorrow when I get to work (since I hate working and...

    Socket 478 or 775

    I am looking at two different motherboards to buy, one requires a socket 478 and the other a socket 775 - I can get a Intel Prescott 3.0Ghz for both in either socket set. My question is should I go with the 478 or 775 - and doesnt the 775 have another cpu thats an P4 but not a prescott? I really...

    Gateway E-1400 CPU Upgrade

    Thanks for the info - I do know they sold them with P3 800's and I figured a celeron 800 might work too. I think it is 98 - just so old I dont bother to look. Its great for them to bang around on and stuff. Also I wouldnt retire it because its a good little "test" machine.

    Gateway E-1400 CPU Upgrade

    I have a little Gateway SFF E-1400 Computer that I like a lot because of the size and its only for the kids to use for homework. However its getting kind of pokey and I want to spiff it up a little bit. Here are the specifications: Product Details Key Features Form Factor Desktop...

    Voodoo Idol

    Anyone see these new Voodoo Idols PCs? These things are sweet. I just am wondering if anyone has done a REVIEW on them. I want to know how loud they get. Anyone here have one? I think these would be great for a small HTPC if you had a media center hub/server that you can stream movies and such...

    Good AMD 939 Socket Overclocker

    No raid - but then again if a drive failed I would have the CDs or DVD to rerip to HD. Maybe I would loose some TV recordings but its not the end of the world if I lost my season of Boston Legal or 24! ;) I will make sure to backup any personal videos and/or pictures on my USB drive that I have...

    Good AMD 939 Socket Overclocker

    Bob - I bookmarked your BF2 guide to check out later. I am now researching if its better to get 2 1gb sticks or 4x512mb sticks for OC and best memory speed. For the new media hub/storage server, ATM I am just changing and upgrading parts in various machines. Like taking my 500W PS from my...

    Good AMD 939 Socket Overclocker

    Do you have the tread link so I can look at it? Do you agree that the Opteron is the best bet and if so which one would you recommend I get?

    Good AMD 939 Socket Overclocker

    Do you think they run cooler overall too since the voltage is lower?
