lol mine was doing the same thing

For me Dual Core is junk. But it all depends on what your going to be doing. For gaming, depends on the game. Like encoding anything on that order, if you wanna spend hours doing it w/ a DC have fun. But for the price of a good dual core, you can get a good quad core. Really no point in buying...

I was looking at different remotes with qwerty keyboards. I know they replace mouse and keyboard, but has anyone seen a remote like that but also controls the TV and receiver.

To answer your question. If you really want Mac OS and thats what you. Yes I personally think its better then buying a PC from Apple. Would be a lot cheaper. I dont remember what parts you need for it to work.

Apple fan boy??? I cant stand MAC OS. If you know what your doing with Linux its just fine. And I have used it on everyday computers.

Id dump the I7 go i5 instead and save yourself the $100 there. Mine flies thru everything I need. Looking at benchmarks. I could justify spending the extra money on i7 for just Hyperthreading. For power supply, Corsair makes really good PSUs. 750tx is around $110ish. 750hx modular ones go...

I have a 4890 high settings, 4xaa and 4x af, 1680x1050. Fraps said min fps is 40, average 60 max 80

Im either gettn a 5870 if prices drop some or w/e Nvidia release. Im guessing that the 470 and 480gtx are gonna be crazy prices so im taking them off my list right now. I hear everyone says late April for the 360 and 380gtx. Sick of waiting. Might just buy the 5870 and call it good. Nvidia is...

Have you checked to see how much of ur cpu is being used?

Iv seen benchmarks with water cooling thats not top of the line that keeps i5/i7 under load under 50C. Air seems to be like 70s under load. I can justify spending the extra $70 for a water cooling to drop it 10-20C under load.

I have a Antec Nine Hundred Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188054 this mobo

Guess i'll get either one of these http://www.svc.com/ifx-14.html http://www.svc.com/u120e-bp-rev-c.html or the TRUE black version http://www.svc.com/megahalems.html guess i'll pick up one of these. Seems like they are all pretty much the same. What you think?

Well i dont mind spending the $550 for a new comp. I cant see paying $250 for quad core for my skt 775 thats dead. I need a quad core anyways. I was going to use my current set up for my htpc. So either way i still gotta buy a cpu/ram/mobo.

no im buying a i5 750 coming up. using my E6550 for my htpc

I was looking at getting denger den. i was just going to water cool my cpu. Nothing else if that helps mpc-cpu block 1156 for i5 $43 dd12v-d5 pump $61 with the 20% off black ice pro ii radiator $35 If thats low end. Could you give me an example of a higher end.
