    Help with new system! XP 3000+ or 2.4C

    OOPS!, the AMD system would be a pair of Corsair XMS PC2700 (1GB for $150) not PC3200. That is what makes the cost equal. I dont care too much about the fastest gamming framerates or the two or which memmory benchmarks faster. I want a fast, reliable and balanced system that will not give me...

    Is Nvidia Getting Sloppy?

    Did any one notice that Nividia pulled their last two unified driver package versions? Between this and the 5800 Ultra flop it appears that Nvidia is getting sloppy. Maybe ATI will buy Nvidia?!:P

    Building New XP 3000+ System- Help

    Anyone? Here is my question; Are there going to be any issues with the KT400 southbridge and my Audigy2? Is the retail XP 3000+ heatsink adequate? and do they ship with thermal pads or paste? Is my 450W going to be enough? I also have 3 optical drives and plan on using the onboard RAID
