There are some very nice deals on the 7950 cards right now.
My card is a Sapphire Vapor X 7950 which is working great for me but I wanted to ask if investing in crossfire is worthwhile.
Do my cards need to be the exact same model?

I have a Creative PCI Xpress card and when I connect my speakers or headphones I get a nice steady silence.

So I have narrowed the culprit of an odd smell to my pc.
While the machine was running the comp. didn't show any symptoms but I haven't been able to narrow down where the smell is coming from.
What are some key spots/components I should be checking?
All the fans were running when I...
I have a 400GB HDD and a 750GB external hard drive. My 400gb has been making a lot of high clanking sounds when running certain programs and I feel that it may perhaps be a sign of things to come. I am considering upgrading to a 750GB internal but I would like to somehow copy what is currently...
Quick question gentlemen and ladies:
I purchased last night a 4890 XT and my power supply is rated 500 - I had an 8800GT which died recently and I use a QX6850 processor as well in my comp. Should I reconsider getting a bigger power supply or will my current one handle it?
Hey guys I recently tried out the DoW 2 beta and I did enjoy it but I am curious if CoH gold would be more fun?

So I am stuck between these two - both good games single and multi - I was curious as to some input on which way to go. I did play the first gears which I thought was pretty fun but I never played the first resistance.
Input would be appreciated on what to choose.
So I have been playing Left 4 Dead for the PC and am interested in trying out a FPS on a console. Haven't played a FPS since CoD 4 on my old 360. Now I have a PS3 and I am interested in trying out either Resistance 2 or CoD WaW.
All input would be appreciated on which one to buy.
Quick question guys, friend gave me a card reader but it has no usb ports on it and it only has like 5 pins. Where should this cable go to? A free usb connection on the motherboard?
So with my wallet being unleashed these next 3 months, I was curious if there is some anticipation for this title? I am looking forward to Dead Space but the money is short as usual. Looking for opinions on this title.
Locked at OP's request.

Hi guys I have a QX6850 with an AC7 cooler on it. I recently changed motherboards and everything is working fine so far but I am concerned about the temperature of the CPU.

I plan to install a new motherboard this weekend which is a different chipset from the old motherboard.
The old motherboard had an nvidia 650i chipset. The new motherboard has an intel chipset.
Nothing else is changing on the computer and I do have an external hdd and Norton ghost.

I am pretty sure that the BSoD I have been receiving has been due to nvidia drivers and i'm getting tired of it.
Will the P35 chipset be that much of a jump from the 650i chipset?
Here is what I currently have:
QX6850 cooled by AC 7
4gb Corsair memory ddr 800
P5N-E SLI 650i nvidia chipset
BFG 8800GT
2 DVD drives - rw and rom
I have been getting a few blue screen errors when in 64 bit vista and I believe it may be due to this chipset since all the errors keep...

Samsung 40" A550 with PS3 and Calibration for 1789 (Ordered it yesterday at Best Buy)
Samsung 46" A550 with PS3 for $1900
Would I really be gaining much by going to a 46?
