    Writing & Art

    Who said that building an online empire is easy? It has taken me SIX years to develop/craft the concepts of three book series. Do you know how it feels to keep secrets for six years without telling anyone, not even the closest person to yourself (which is my girlfriend aka wife)? Now imagine...

    Age Old Question: Intel Or AMD

    Hmm, everyone is telling me to forget about SLI...is it that unstable? Or is it better to just have one card? Seen I am building a gaming rig, my budget for the video card(s) is $800 (I was going to get two for SLI), but if I can get the same or better performance from a single card (I have been...

    Age Old Question: Intel Or AMD

    The thing is, reviews are showing that even the lower scale Intel Core 2 Duo's processors outperform the best of what the AM2 platform has to offer with those said lower scale intel processors are overclocked. Simply put, I only have to invest about 300 to 400 on a processor and get $1000's...

    Age Old Question: Intel Or AMD

    Thanks for the advice and help guys. The direction I'm headed is Intel since I want the most "bang" for my buck and from what I keep hearing...they are the best right now. Yes I am a loyal AMD user (I still have my old AMD 64 FX-57 computer to handle everything for my business [which I'm using...

    Age Old Question: Intel Or AMD

    The total budget of my new gaming rig is $1,500. That of course is the complete setup of memory, HD, graphic cards, processor and etc. I may just substitute HD/memory (decent for now and in the future upgrade to the best), but I want to get the MAIN stuff first. Again, I don't want the BEST PC...

    Age Old Question: Intel Or AMD

    I just seen the eVGA nForce 680i SLI 775 mobo...but $300 buck just for a mobo is a lot. I not a super PC enthusiast, but that mobo does look sexy...maybe...just maybe...

    Age Old Question: Intel Or AMD

    I working on building my next gaming/work rig. I want the best of both worlds and my starting price point is $600 for a barebones PC (aka Tower, Mobo and Processor). I know I want SLI (Nvidia of course), but I'm having a hard time choosing between one of the Intel Core 2 Duo's processors or AMD...

    Upgrade: ATI Radeon X850 PRO Or Nvidia 6800

    The good news is...I got a refund with no questions asked. The bad news is the wait time to get my Nvidia 6800 GS (one to two weeks) since I'm paying via secure money order. A funny fact is that Connecticut is the richest (wealthiest) state in America, yet our major retailers or even the small...

    Upgrade: ATI Radeon X850 PRO Or Nvidia 6800

    The Nvidia Geforce 6800 GS (AGP) would be the perfect card until I save up enough money for a new computer that has PCIe support and etc. Too bad NONE of the computer retailers near me have this card...I'm talking about large (CompUSA, BestBuy) or small (PCW Computer)...which is crazy. So my...

    Upgrade: ATI Radeon X850 PRO Or Nvidia 6800

    WOW...I didn't know they came out with the card...problem is I don't have a credit card nor check card...hmm I wonder if they sell this card anywhere around New Haven, CT (where I live)

    Upgrade: ATI Radeon X850 PRO Or Nvidia 6800

    I wish I could get that, but it is PCIe only...my mobo only supports AGP 8x or lower.

    Upgrade: ATI Radeon X850 PRO Or Nvidia 6800

    Hello everyone, I have an eMachines T3256 PC computer; pretty decent for what it is and how much I paid for it. I recently upgraded the RAM and video card...to 1GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon X850 PRO 256MB AGP card. The card overall is really good (even though I can't Biomod the card to 16...
