    Would it be worth jumping ship right now?

    I currently have a GA-EP45-UD3R mobo and a Q9400 (runs @ 3.4). I have someone locally who is wanting an upgrade themselves and have offered $275 for my combo (which I think would be fair market considering price drops). Btw, this IS NOT a price check it is a sanity check on my own part. I...

    Man seriously injured in Oak Island parachute accident.

    Myself, JohnCU, xSauronx, Aircooled and LiLPima were hanging out on the beach Saturday at JohnCU's place there on Oak Island and saw this. We thought it odd that the plane dropped these guys just off shore over the water. We thought maybe they were just doing a demo jump for the crowd on the...

    Overclocking with 8GB RAM

    I'm running a Q9400 @ 3.4Ghz on an EP45-UD3R. I currently have 2x2GB of G.Skill DDR2-800 RAM. OS is Vista 64. I'm contemplating going to 8GB but not sure if this might have any impact on my OC. Anyone out there running something similar (cpu, mobo, RAM) with 8GB and a successful OC?

    I have a GA-EP45-UD3R with a Q9400. Mobo. Mobo is only about 2 months old. When it boots up (cold boot) I get a BIOS error beep through the speaker. It is one long beep (maybe 2 seconds). I searched for Award Bios errors and this points to "video card not seated properly". I reseated the video...

    Upgradeitis....E8400 or a Q8200?

    I'm currently running an E5200 (3.0Ghz) on an EP45-UD3R. I've got a bit of upgradeitis for the CPU. The E8400 and Q8200 are both within my budget and are the same price. Me is wondering if the quad core will be beneficial (though the E84 has 2MB more L2 cache)? My rig is mainly for gaming...

    Times have changed and I'm trying to catch up....with a new build.

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Intended use will be mild gaming (mainly FPS). 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread. Let's see what we can do with $500 (without LCD monitor). ;)...
