$60

Its my bro's birthday in like a week and I'm looking for a hard drive for a system with the following specs: AMD 4000 Gigabyte K8NS Ultra Mobo ATI 850XT 2GB OCZ 2-3-2-5 My friend has a working ExcelStor 80GB ATA100 7200 rpm HD that he'll sell to me for like $20. Is it worth it buying a...

My computer has been restarting lately, and I've never had any problems at all. It started in games but now it happens sometimes in Windows. My temps are great and nothing is overclocked. I know usually PSUs are most likely to go bad. I noticed today that even when I put up the voltage on my...

Hey guys I got a budget PC question. I can either get this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127176 or this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130263 THANKS

yeah i think the sensor is off....i just plugged the opty into an old gigabyte board and got a reading of 38C...and no the heatsink isn't hot at all thanks....hopefully all is well

sooo 42-44 idle?

I have an Opteron 170. The bios on my EVGA Sli board reports 45C in idle. That is the lowest i've been able to get it with varying amounts of thermal paste. Does this seem high or is it normal? OR is my bio senser faulty? THANKS!!!!

Yeah I looked into that. My memory is $200 new on Newegg and goes for between $120-$150 used on eBay. I've seen them go above $150 though used. If that happened to me (and might since i have perfect feedback), I'd actually make $ on this upgrade to 2 Gb of gskill. :)

I have a Neo2 Platinum Edition, Intel 3.4 Northwood, BFG 6800GT @ Ultra, 200GB 8mb 7200, Aspire 680W PSU Thanks a lot for all the advice....i guess the 2X1Gb is the best idea then!

Cool thanks! i also heard, 2X1Gb is more stable...not sure though

I already have 1 Gb (2X512Mb) of Corsair 2-2-2-5. The memory is fast and I don't get any problems (besides I can't OC), but I think my mobo has known problems with low latency ram. It would cost me an extra $120 for 2 sticks of 512mb. I can buy 2Gb (1GbX2) of GSKILL 2.5-3-3-6 for only $150...

I have an Intel 3.4 512K 800Mhz Northwood CPU. Generally, northwoods are great ocers. But, my system is getting extremely unstable when oced even only 100Mhz. My stock voltage to my memory in supposed to be 2.5v. but, the corsair ram I have is 2.75v. I've bumped up the voltage to my memory and...

Pretty much my question is the title. Is there a noticeable difference between the 2 routers? And is the worth the extra 20-30 bucks? TY!!!

My card is not OCed, and it is very cool (temp)...but I'm getting flashly shadow lines. Sometimes these lines occur when my mouse is moved (in games). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the lastest/old versions of Nvidia drivers, but I've had no luck. I even tried another Geforce card...

I'm building a new comp and plan to put in a CPU that is really fast, yet not too expensive (over 300). The 3500's seem cheap and do very well in benchmarks. Do you guys recommend the Venice or Clawhammer core? I like to game a lot. Thx PS: Is the San Diege 3700 worth an extra $60?
