    about to pull the trigger on a new dell 9300

    i have the dell 9300 with the wuxga 17" screen. everything looks ok, but all images under Internet Explorer seems like it has been enlarged and its not as sharp. the LCD screen resolution is 1920x1200, but viewing a 1280x960 image under IE will take up the entire screen and more, and require a...

    Ordered a Dell Inspiron 6000 lastnight - what do you think?

    i had the 6000 for a brief period. it has a horrible lcd with low brightness and narrow viewing angle. mine was a wxga. i hope yours have a better screen, but from what i've been reading on the net, the wxga that comes with the 6000 is pos. for me, the lcd is probably the most important part of...

    2 Blaupunkt 12" subs for 99

    these seem like some very good subs and efficiency too. its rated at 93db, which mean it is 2x louder than a sub at 87db, so it doesnt require that much power to have it bumps. for example, 100w feeding into one of these subs = 200watts feeding into 2 subs at 87db. this is in term of SPL...

    aopen nforce3 150 board, $29.99 for st. pats, $39.99 other days

    i mean, there are no .09nm a64 with 754 socket. if i want an a64 754 chip, it will be .13nm process chip. i assume the .09nm chip will overclock better and run cooler than the .13nm chip.

    ok thanks. you probably saved me a lot of headaches. so we are limited to those .09nm sempron with this motherboard since all socket 754 a64 is .13nm.

    Celeron D Retail Fan sticker

    but then ppl will do the idiot thing by not removing the protective layer and can fry their cpu, which ppl have done it the past this way by not removing the protective plastic over the thermal paste. its hard to idiot proof everything. ppl will remove the thermal pad or leave the protective...

    aopen nforce3 150 board, $29.99 for st. pats, $39.99 other days

    i thought they run cooler and oc better. i assume they are the same chip then but w/o the heat spreader. it will certainly run cooler without the heat spreader though. i guess there are no 754 .09nn athlon 64. with your suggestion, i will probably get a sempron .09nn. thnx
