    AMD Vendors any better than the others?

    Been with nVidia for years and thinking of AMD this time around. I'm looking at the 6950 1GB or 2GB and the 6970 2GB. But I don't really know the difference between the vendors. I know XFX from nVidia and Saphire from the last radeon I owned (9700 pro). Any advice?

    How long does it take to install Windows 7?

    Since it's retail release, I've installed it 4 times. It takes about 3-6 minutes to get to the initial install screen. Then another 5 minutes to start installing once I have picked my partition... Once it starts installing, it's about 15 minutes to get to the desktop. The 15 minute part doesn't...

    Core 2 system...**EDIT** GOT Q9650

    **EDIT**Alright, I got the Q9650! See my last post... Do you think I would see any noticable gains from upgrading to the q9650? Would you do it? It's dropped in price a lot making it much more affordable now and I can spend the $322, I don't know if I would notice much of a difference...

    Vista x64 taskbar won't auto-hide...

    I've never had this problem until just recently. The taskbar in will not auto hide anymore. It says it's in autohide but won't go back. It just stays on top of all the other windows. Any ideas? The last change I made was 2 months ago when I swapped gpu's but that's it.

    E6750 TO E8500???

    I can only get my E6750 to go to 3.4 with my current ram... Would it be worth while to jump up to an E8500 from my E6750? I mostly game that's it. And surf the net... but don't really do anything that would make a quad worthwhile... What's your take?

    Asynchronous with ram slower then fsb?

    My P5Q-E just arrived yesterday and I will be installing it this weekend. I will likely OC it in a few weeks. I know with my SLI asynchornous was not a big deal but I've been reading that the other chipsets run only 1:1? Is that right? I have the OCZ ram in my sig and I'm from what I've...

    Safe ratio's?

    So my ASUS P5Q-E is on it's way. My understanding is that it is a solid OC'er. I want to push my E6750 to 3.6 and I don't know if I will be able to mostly because of my memory. Besides getting new memory because it won't be in the budget for a few months, what is a safe ratio to run...

    Did I void my warranty while prepping my RMA?

    So, I'm RMA'ing my mobo and when I was removing the bracket for the CPU HSF, I scratch the back of the mobo and there is clear scratch marks and copper showing. Do think this will void my warranty? I was removing in order to prep it for the RMA. Manufacturer is MSI for board: P6N Diamond
