rbV5, makes sense. You said: I think you make my point better than I do with this statement, "Will the budget gamer give you an enjoyable gaming experience? Sure..." Then you place my point in context with the second half of that quote. Excellent. Blastman, I viewed those screenshots, thanks...

JonnyBlaze thanks for your screen shots. I think these illustrate my point very well. Considering the first three, a difference between them isn't immediately apparent. By immediately, I mean a glance, a glimps, a momentary viewing. With a touch more time, albeit not much, the floor does look...

I haven't been gaming much the last year, lets put that up front. However, When I visit various sites that show different screen shots at different video card/game settings to compare them I'm not fully appreciating the *majesty* of 8x versus 2x. Is it the still shots that aren't conveying...

CaiNaM, funny link. "UR MOM" lol -SynapticBliss And, on the aside and very hush, hush, I think most of you people have eyes that are way better than mine. You see jaggies everywhere, places that I have to stare at, long and hard, to notice. In a perusal of a recent site I visited there were...

Rollo, that is vff. Literal lol. Thanks.

Them thar mountain-goat-things are so lifelike, text can get lost in their fur, though. Several of my post its got lost in mine. I've the ViewSonic PF790 I do a fair amount of writing and the text is as crisp as I could possibly ask for. Sure, its a full 2" smaller than what is referenced in...

Interesting. I'm brand spanking new to the world of audiophile thoughts. I've been perusing this SITE for information. Good site. Maybe a search there would turn something up. I'll be interested to see what much more knowledgeable folk have to say about this. -SynapticBliss

Great guide, mechBgon. I'll be using this soon to build my second rig; the first I put together in 2001 and have forgotten much of the process. Yep, 'time' itself noobed me. Again. I liked the pictures of the screw threads. I liked the on-edge shot of the mobo showing the need for standoffs. As...

I won't pretend to advice you what to do because I'm not about to quote anything factual or referential. Just straight up opinion from a fellow that migrated from running ME on 2 comps and switching to XP (even sans service packs). I thought everything was fine with ME for the 12+ months I used...

Dapunisher, thank you for replying. Your logic regarding the 512 MB stick makes a lot of sense; cents, even. It fits right in the midst of what I was contemplating (going 2700 : 3500, etc), so that works, too. I posted at another site and was referred to THIS site. I'll read that on the morrow...

Well, friends, I?m about to take the plunge into building a new XP mobile 2400; I?ll be overclocking. I?m still waffling over MoBos, but narrowed it down to NF7-S or Shuttle AN35N Ultra, probably will go the route of Abit. However, several questions concerning RAM have been repeatedly assailing...

Quixfire, I too am a neophyte. I am currently reading THIS and THIS Seems like a good site to plunder information. ((first time posting with http added in, so a test of sorts was in progress here and the solution will be deemed readily...) edit: ah, success.

Thanks for the rational information, Zebo. I cruised that thread you link to trying to decipher what mobo was most popular. I came away thinking (correctly or no) that the NF7-S is more stable at bus speeds higher than 200, the shuttle less so. Your words concerning Shuttle ring true to my ear...

Evan, I am one of those (non uber-cool, non-leet overclocker-- hell, I've never overclocked anything...::thinks a moment to self::...with computers, that is) who is eagerly looking forward to what AnandTech has to say for the overclock rig. What I'm looking to see is if my fledgling research on...
