    Can the power supply in this system handle the drain?

    I'm looking at this system from MicroCenter: http://www.microcenter.com/product/411149/G218_Desktop_Computer Yes, I know, I know I could put it together cheaper, but I tried it once and for me it's less agita to buy it off the shelf--it's worth the additional money. The question I have...

    Micro Center Memorial Day desktop sales?

    Is there any reason to NOT overclock a video card?

    Hi. Probably a stupid question here :-), but like the title said, is there any reason NOT to do this? I've got a PowerSpec 8350, P4@1.6, 256MB PC133 ram, and a GeForce4 MX 420. Yes, I know the MX sucks, and the PC133 bottlenecks the system also. At the time, it was all I could afford in...
