    2630qm or 2720qm?

    Maybe this is the wrong forum for this? I like the price on the 2630qm, but is it worth it with a 3 year self-imposed refresh window to get a 2720 instead? Is it possible to end user upgrade the cpu in a clevo laptop case? Price difference is ~$160 which I'd rather spend on other things...

    recommend a matx mobo?

    I've got most of the parts left over from my last pc, an e6550, 2gb ram, case & psu. I was thinking of putting together a pc for my mom, she really doesn't do much except email, a surfing and a little light photoshop, so I don't need anything too great, something cheap with decent onboard...

    help, can't overclock msi 9600gt

    I tried both Ntune and RivaTuner (uninstalled one before I tried the other). No matter what I do the overclock does not stick. Followed the faqs I could find to the letter but no luck. Anyone have any suggestions? So far I've found nothing on google.

    sub $150 card?

    I'm looking for a decent card to keep me until the next - next gen cards come out gx200/r700. Don't want to spend more than $150 but would ideally like to play crysis on all high settings at 720p @ 30+fps (hooked up to living room tv). Would a 9600gt be able to pull this off? PC has...
