    Need help upgrading my graphic card

    Would there be any difference between connecting one power connector instead of splitting that one and connecting both? Won't it still transmit the same amount of power though. Like the two splitters would each get 50 percent right? So in the end wouldn't it be the same thing? I am just...

    Reasons for x2 3800 greatness? what about 4400?

    I have seen many benchmarks, and the 4400 is no doubt much better. If you can afford it get it, or you can get the 4200 (i have this one, and its great). If I were you Id atleast get the 4200 but if you can go for the 4400.

    New 7800 GT Underperforming

    I think I know what the problem is. Maybe it is because you have too many things running at the same time.

    Hard drive question

    Is there a real big difference between harddrives in their cache sizes. What is the performance difference between 2mb, 8mb, and 16 mb cache sizes in hardrives? Is it very significant or noticable? Especially in games? THanks.
