Definately for me. The life time waranty they offer on their parts is certainly nice too, but this is really what cinched it. Nite_Hawk

That's exactly it. :) Nite_Hawk

The question you might want to ask yourself right now isn't "can I overclock this system?" but rather "Should I overclock this system?". Do you think she will really benefit at all from the extra speed? If so, is it worth potentially having to fix her computer if something goes wrong (say her...

Hi Guys, Everything came in! :) I have to wait until tomorrow before I can put it together, but I thought I'd give some priliminary info... The CPU Stepping is IQYHA 0407VPMW So I have some high hopes for this processor! The (blue) chenbro gaming bomb is a bit more conservative looking than...

Hi Avalon, I actually just went through the process of reading through a number of the threads here, along with the reviews on newegg and other places about the mobiles. From what I've seen, it looks like the 35w chips arn't overclocking on average as well as the 2500+ and 2600+ chips. Most...

<sigh> well, I guess we'll see how it goes. I swear I read a review somewhere (probably for the 400 or 450 watt) that said it had a decent weight to it, but oh well. I've got a sparkle 300 or 350 watt here I can compare it to I guess. I suppose if it blows up I should at least be able to...

Hi Zebo, Yeah, the coolmax was a tough decision. Most of the newegg reviews for coolmax power supplies are pretty good, and the 500w doesn't have very many newegg reviews yet so I was hoping that specific reviewer just got a bad one. I guess we'l see how it goes. A lot of online reviews for...

I'd say no. You may get a great chip, but you also run the risk of getting a really bad chip, maybe 2.2 or 2.3GHz at high voltages. You'd be a bit better off due to the cache, but you'd be out a lot of time and a bit of money buying, selling, and overclocking. I guess it depends on how much...

Hi Nick, Were things fine at 11x200? At 200MHz, your ram (assuming it's PC3200) isn't being overclocked so you might be best off just running it at default voltage and settings to see how you fair. If it's having problems, back off the other timings a bit too and see what happens. I'm not...

Hi Nick, There is a tradeoff between the multiplier and the front side bus. The higher the front side bus is, the faster your memory will run and the faster the cpu will run. Changing the multiplier only changes the speed of the cpu. So if you have memory that can only run at 166MHz for...

Hi Guys, This is my first post, and I wanted to thank you all. I spent numerous hours here figuring out what upgrades I wanted to buy for my computer. Thank you all for the great wealth of information you've posted to the forums here. Just to let you know, this is what I ended up buying...
