Sorry guys, I'm playing the game at 1280x1024 at High detail settings. Do you think a Core 2 Quad would make any difference or is the solution to upgrade to a completely new architecture?

Hey guys, Currently my system is as follows: Core 2 Duo 7300 (OC'ed to 3.2Ghz) 4GB of DDR2-800 I upgraded my 3850 to a 5850 but my performance in World of Warcraft is about the same. According to Anandtech benchmarks it should be about 2-3x the speed. The CPU FSB is 1333Mhz so that's...

The 12v rail dropping to 10.37 volts is definitely a problem as it should be within the range you specified. I'd contact Antec to warranty the unit before it damages another component.

Hello everyone, I'm looking at purchasing an Asus K8N-DRE dual-Socket 940 server motherboard for a workstation. However, when looking through the manual I see that it has a -5v rail listed for the main ATX connector. The problem arises because all of the EPS12V power supplies I can find on...

This news is somewhat disconcerting. Can anyone else attest to this as well? I have an '05 with a 3.0L Vulcan if that makes any difference. Thanks everyone!

Best wishes to the both of ya!

What are your thoughts? On one hand I see that towing with the air conditioning on causing more stress on the engine. Alternatively it would keep the fan blowing air on the engine. This is a for a Taurus towing a small trailer about 1000Lbs. Thanks! I5

Hello everyone, Based on the advice received here and my own personal opinions after driving several vehicles I picked up an '07 Ford Fusion V6 SE with 42k. My mechanic looked over the car and said that it looked fine and didn't have any leaks. Given this I opted to have Mobil 1 put in the...

One more question, I'm a little over six feet in height. Out of the Fusion, Altima, and Camry, which one(s) do you think would be the most comfortable?

I've been looking at the Imprezas a bit and liking what I see. Have you had experience driving both transmissions? I'd be looking at an '06-'07 2.5i. The manual seems enticing but I've never driven one before and I'd rather not garble it's innards through mistakes.

Do any of you know to find out the configuration of a Nissan through it's VIN? I like the looks of the Altimas but I'd want to make sure that I purchase one with the additional airbags in it. And I'd prefer to gather this data through the VIN instead of what the dealer happens to know...

What's wrong with a manufacturer taking a good product and distributing it throughout the product line? Plus if they have less individual components to produce they can reduce costs.

Just found some interesting information on the Fusion rear impact crash test ratings. Makes me think twice since I'm 6'2". http://www.iihs.org/ratings/he...details_page.aspx?ford

Thanks for the tip on the mechanic! Honestly this is the first time I'll have purchased a car like this so I don't know how easy it will to be get a dealer to let me take it to another mechanic. Appreciate the feedback.

My Mom purchased a fleet Volvo at 70k and it lasted her to 240k so I'm not too hesitant about it. The Fusion price I mentioned is worst case and before negotiations so I'd hope to get the price down a little lower. I was also looking at the six-cylinders instead of the four so that impacted...
