    Q8300 (2.5Ghz) still any good for gaming?

    Yes, I'd definitely overclock your Q8300. I'm running my at 3.0GHZ and will try higher when I get better RAM. However, I have a GTX 295 and can still run most games just fine. I'm sure if you took either any two AMD n800 or Nvidia n70+ series or any one AMD n9 or Nvidia n9 card you should be...

    Which 2133 Chips should I buy: 9-11-10-30 or 11-11-11-27

    Hi Gang, I'm trying to determine which 2133 DDR3 product is faster 9-11-10-30 or 11-11-11-27. The sums of both their timings is 60. Does that mean they are the same speed or is the 9... part faster, because the first number is somehow more important. My assumption is they are the same...

    How much benefit am I likely to see from this upgrade?

    Well you tell me what's better a 500 Watt PSU for 30 or a 750 Watt PSU for 55? No not all PSU's are created equal, but it'd be a rare 500 watt PSU by anyone that could outperform a 750 watt PSU with a 600 watt workload. This is the best PSU calculator I've found...

    How much benefit am I likely to see from this upgrade?

    Wow that SpinPoint F3 is really a fast magnetic drive, I just wish it were bigger. I also noticed some of Samsung's drive have an insane 7 year warranty. Of course it still can't compete with SSD's once you factor in access times (says the guy who doesn't own one :).

    How much benefit am I likely to see from this upgrade?

    How about buying this in November instead of a new video card? Rumor has it that New Egg will have this high performance SSD for 85 after rebate. Sorry, That's based on Intel technology. Well maybe you could look up some other manufacturer's SSD like OCZ or something.

    How much benefit am I likely to see from this upgrade?

    Hi Godless, I love your user name, because I too am an atheist. My name is pretty ironic too, Christian :). Okay on to the techie stuff. I can respect your desire not to monetize Intel, however AMD CPU's tend to overheat more frequently and their motherboards die more often. I say that...
