    memory for k8n neo2 platinum

    A lot of guys on the MSI boards are saying that the Crucial Ballistix is good with this board. It uses Micron chips, and so do the OCZ (3500 and up, the OCZ 3200 uses Samsung chips) so it's probably a matter of which color heatspreaders you prefer.

    What a difference a new case makes

    If your CPU fan is blowing out, then you would be better to have the case fan going out as well. But you might want to try turning them both to intake. Sometimes it's better to have your CPU fan blowing on the heatsink, sometimes it's better the other way. I think it depends on how the...

    Why dual cores and not one single faster one?

    The reason dual processors haven't become mainstream is because most programs don't take advantage of it. If the CPU companies make dual-core processors which allow anyone to have multiple cores regardless of special motherboards, then I would expect to see software companies begin to optimize...

    Can Intel Pentium-M be used in a normal computer?

  11. Q

    I'm 99% sure this wouldn't work, but...Dual Durons?

    If Athlon XPs can be made to work in dual CPU motherboards, why not Durons? I'm guessing there's probably something different about the architecture that would make it impossible, but I think it'd be funny if you could do it. Feel free to slap me around a bit with a large trout if you want...

    Cutting out the fan 'grill' on my case. wondering how to go about it.

    I'm just gonna hack the crap out of my case and not worry about how it looks hehe. It's a cheap case anyway. I just don't like how many sparks the Dremel tool throws up so I'm going to take all my components out and take the case down to the garage and do it.

    Newegg thought I was "Mr. Gilbert M Vanegas"

    I opened Newegg from my bookmarks and when it loaded it said: "Welcome Mr. Gilbert M Vanegas" I was afraid someone had swiped my password and changed everything, so I logged out and logged in with my email and password and it changed back to my name...wtf? How did Newegg log me in as this Mr...

    Old case for new mobo

    You'll probably need more fans...so you could either pick up a fairly cheap case with a couple of fans, or you could cut up the old case and put fans in it. Modding the old case might be more fun and if you mess it up, then you can buy another one.
