    Playing with AT case bench data

    So, when AT onlined their case bench, someone said "hey, there should be graph of noise versus temperature, so we can find cases that are good compromises and stuff".

    HDD check software

    Two questions: Athlon II + DDR2 and thermal difference

    Is graphic card upgrade worth it?

    Hi, new here. I have an old computer and as the performance in games is really terrible these days, I was thinking about upgrade. However, I don't really have money for whole new system, so I was thinking about just upgrading a graphic card (460 maybe?). However, I'm not sure if new graphic...
