    Turning to AT to help me reach my goals

    Hey everyone. I'm looking to put on some weight this summer, however, I'm not 100% sure of the route to take, since I have other goals as well. I'll break it down as follows: 2 weeks ago I did a marathon. I weighed about 152 the week before the marathon, now I weigh about 154...

    Anyone in the Manchester, UK area?

    Some dude is selling his (triathlon) bike on craigslist, and it's a crazy deal. However, he said he recently moved from Ohio to UK. Sounds pretty scammy, so I said I had a friend in Manchester who could check out the bike and if it was up to snuff pick it up for me. Anyone in the...

    Q9300 @ 3.3 Ghz ~ PhII @ X.XX Ghz?

    Thinking about selling my Q9300 + mobo to a friend and then pick up at PhII for myself. Been a while since I've been with AMD and kinda want to mess around. I'm curious though, how much would I have to OC the AMD to get similar performance? From looking at benchies, I would say 3.5GHz whould...

    4830 for $70AR...

    I currently have a 8800GS 384MB model. I game at 1680x1050 (thinking of upgrading to 1080p or 19x12 soon, however). I'm awfully tempted to get the 4830 at the current price, but is it that much of an upgrade? When upgrading monitors, I think I'd slap another 4830 into place. But would the...

    My Q9300 is on fire
