    SSD Purchase advice please.

    If you are sticking with 3Gbps SATA then go with the 320. The other two are faster but you would only notice the difference (maybe) if using a 6Gbps controler.

    Do I need to fix the allignment on my Intel SSD?

    I installed Win XP and all my programs on my Intel SSD today. I ran AS SSD benchmark and it noted my alignment at 31K was "BAD". Do I need to re-align my drive?

    2-80 gb ssd in raid 0 or 1-160gb, no raid

    Intel G2 SSD and Win XP

    What would you like to see in a video card review?

    This ^ Would also like to see CoH in game reviews. I ended up going to hexus.net when I recently upgraded my vid card for this reason. Xbitlabs used to have it with min/max but stopped using it :(

    Phenom II X4 940 + BIOSTAR TA790GXB (AMD 790GX ATX Motherboard)

    It is under "T-series" in the BIOS, under the Manual Overclock section. Got mine up and running today, no problems and so far I've been impressed with the MB.

    Need help with a $500 gaming build

    Didn't know that combo deal was back...I'd go with that. They both run around 3 Ghz so game performance will be about the same but I doubt you will regret getting a quad core.
