    New build, 64gb (8x8) on X79, will this break my overclocking leverage?

    I am building a new box, specs are as follows: Rampage IV Extreme Core i7 3930k DH-D14 SE2011 Heatsink I am currently set to receive 16gb g.skill sniper LV dimms (1.25v, which I presume will give me a lot of overclocking headroom on the ram, being that it's 1.25v @ cas 9 ddr3-1600) Is...

    (Poll) For next generation: will you go AMD Bulldozer or Sandy Bridge-E?

    I'm personally finding it really hard to figure out what to go. They seem both like really good options, AMD being a lot cheaper. Bulldozer 8-core will be $266 Sandy-Bridge E: - 4 core/8 thread will be $294 - 6 core/12 thread will be $583 I'm not leaving the extreme edition as an option...

    Should I upgrade from a 6950 (6970 modded) to a GTX 580 for $50?

    Hey all, I have an XFX HD 6950 2Gb.. pretty good card, overall I'm really happy with it. Here's the thing: A friend offered me his GTX 580 for my card and $50.. I'm not really sure I should pass it up. There's nothing I can't play in max everything for the most part (okay, maybe I get...

    Nvidia Geforce GTX 295 or ATI Radeon HD 5970?

    I'm not really sure which upgrade to go for.. They both look good, but I find myself leaning towards the GTX even though the 5970 is higher performance.. Because of Nvidia's PhysX/Cuda and what not..

    Kill Bill Volume 3 is out -- Bill is dead

    David Carradine has passed away... apparently from what looks like to me as autoerotic asphyxiation, probably done by some kind of prostitute while in an asian country.. One of the news articles about it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8083479.stm Repost. Moderator allisolm

    Will this combo work properly together for HD acceleration?

    The plan/idea would be to get an intel atom CPU+motherboard combo.. and a PCI card the HD 2400 pro 256 64-bit... The question is, can I put 1080p on there, with stability? Thanks

    Need good video card for TripleHead2Go, or is X3500 integrated enough?

    Hey all. I know about the ATI driver bug, but that's not why I'm asking.. I'm asking because I have had integrated video that had a max resolution of 1280x1024 no matter what monitor.. so.. Would be an nvidia video card if need be because of the ATI bug. Thanks

    Best video card setup for 1600x1200 @ 100HZ (CRT) WITH V-sync enabled?

    I don't need vsync fully working in Crysis, but every other game if it is possible. I see there is the 3870 X2, 8800 GT, GTS, upcoming 9800 GX2 I would consider SLI/Crossfire, although I would really prefer single card (or sli/cf in a card)

    Upgrade to 8800 GT 512 or not?

    I can't seem to get proper FPS on my new monitor, but since it's a CRT it's not exactly as if i can't play stuff in a lower resolution no problem. The issue at hand is that, if I have such a great system, I *should* be able to max most games, or get pretty close. So, the question remains...

    I have a pretty terrible PC.. but my Video card does component-in.. Question.

    My PC Specs are below.. If I bought an xbox 360, and I had a 24" 1920x1200 monitor, could my PC's component-in do 1080p without lag or anything? Or will my CPU+GPU be handling the input such that it will seriously lag my pc because its not good enough? Thanks

    Is it even worth it to get DDR3 at all yet?

    Is this gonna be like DDR2, and take 1-2 years to get good? I mean, approximately the time that AM2 and C2Ds came out is when ddr2 started getting good.. The prices went to a decent point, the speeds went up to 800, then 1066, etc.. cas latencies were soon comparable. What about ddr3...
