    How future-proof is a quad-core?

    For me Dual Core is junk. But it all depends on what your going to be doing. For gaming, depends on the game. Like encoding anything on that order, if you wanna spend hours doing it w/ a DC have fun. But for the price of a good dual core, you can get a good quad core. Really no point in buying...

    HTPC remote/keyboard

    Hackintosh? worth it?

    To answer your question. If you really want Mac OS and thats what you. Yes I personally think its better then buying a PC from Apple. Would be a lot cheaper. I dont remember what parts you need for it to work.

    Feedback on i7-860 build (~$1600)

    Id dump the I7 go i5 instead and save yourself the $100 there. Mine flies thru everything I need. Looking at benchmarks. I could justify spending the extra money on i7 for just Hyperthreading. For power supply, Corsair makes really good PSUs. 750tx is around $110ish. 750hx modular ones go...

    Where are the damn Fermi reviews already!?

    Im either gettn a 5870 if prices drop some or w/e Nvidia release. Im guessing that the 470 and 480gtx are gonna be crazy prices so im taking them off my list right now. I hear everyone says late April for the 360 and 380gtx. Sick of waiting. Might just buy the 5870 and call it good. Nvidia is...

    Air or water for i5 750

    Iv seen benchmarks with water cooling thats not top of the line that keeps i5/i7 under load under 50C. Air seems to be like 70s under load. I can justify spending the extra $70 for a water cooling to drop it 10-20C under load.

    Air or water for i5 750

    Well i dont mind spending the $550 for a new comp. I cant see paying $250 for quad core for my skt 775 thats dead. I need a quad core anyways. I was going to use my current set up for my htpc. So either way i still gotta buy a cpu/ram/mobo.

    Air or water for i5 750

    Question if you upgraded to a quad core for Crysis

    My thing is, why does Cervat Yerli the CEO and President of Crytek said himself crysis runs so much better on a quad core over dual core? It prolly uses 2 cores for the game and puts any other load from the game onto the other cores. maybe like AI and physics? So from looking at...

    AMD Venice 3800 to Intel 6750 duo core

    i went from a AMD 3500 single core to a E6550 even at stock speeds for the 6550 i saw a night and day difference in games. FPS went way up, loading times. It was worth it.

    Gigabyte DS3R P35 OCing temps

    I just have a question. I've looked and have not seen anything about it. I OC'd my E6550 to 2.8ghz both cores run at like 28-33C at idle, lil higher under load. But my question is when my comp sits there idle for a while my temps are 21C for both cores. I used TAT and Speedfan both say the same...
