I need to buy my son a new laptop for school, I have to get it at walmart or sams, (buisness related) any ideas or thoughts? I was looking at this one http://www.samsclub.com/sams/asus-15-6-notebook-intel-corei5-4200u/prod14220200.ip?navAction=push Any thoughts on it? He does some lighter...

I am paying to rent this modem and I want to buy my own but there are a ton available so I am not sure where to start, I use my own router so I do not need a modem with wireless. any help would be appreciated..

Anyone know of a good time limiting software for kids? My son loves going on the PC which is fine, but he is starting to lean towards that more than wanting to hang out and what not, I just want to at times set limits to his usage on week days.

Thanks for the tip, I was also considering of just replacing the MB and CPU at the same time, we do a little gaming here and there, but nothing heavy, I have a geforce 275 GTX card, so was wondering if simply a new MB would do or replace the MB and ram and use same CPU or just buy new MB/CPU/RAM.

no one can help a guy out?

I have/had a GA-M57SLI-S4 with a AMD Phenom II X3, now I am looking for a decent budget to midrange replacement motherboard for it. Seeing as the CPU is am3 that is what I am looking for and I am sure I will need DDR3 Ram as well. But I am just not sure on the motherboards for this CPU... I am...

Thanks for all the help I am 99% sure of where I am going as said a PHII will be had as will a new vid card. Saving me some dough for now!!! THANKS!!!

I have that done a few months back.

there is a microcenter near me thats most likely where I would buy the CPU as they are close to newegg prices and sometimes better. Plus I can return if no good.

Sorry about not posting my specs earlier, I just didnt kow where to start you guys have pointed me i the right direction. I think I will try the Vid card first and go from there. As far as the CPU goes I would imagine any PHII X4 would be better than my current CPU? Obviously for the price...

Wow never even thought of being able to do that that sure does look like the way to go. Are the ATI cards that much better than the Nvidia? I never used an ATI card but would if the performance is that much better.

So I have looked at all this stuff and still not sure about upgrading, My current system is as follows. CPU ...AMD Phenom X3 8650 MB ... Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 Video.. BFG 9600GT I also have a good PSU cant remember the name but the old one went out so I bought a new one with all the bells...

Some gaming mainly world of warcraft, would like to run max settings, that being said other than that I dont run many games on the PC, but would like the option though. As far as MB goes the price I would like to be the same or cheaper. I am pricing a new system but having a hard time deciding...

I am looking to buy a new CPU and have about 190 to spend, without amd VS intel fights whoch is the best to but at that price range.. thats just for the CPU. I have heard the new intels are alot better than the amd chips though the amd as usual are a better deal ? I just keep going back and...
