    I'm in Canada, so forgive me for my prices here, the site I'm using is the only place I'm going to consider getting parts from, I've bought from them for a very long time.

    It's 0330 and I'm hungry, so I decided to make a salmon sandwich (for those that think I'm crazy, same steps as tuna sandwich) only to discover I have no bread. So I am now eating salmon sandwich mix out of the box with a fork with some purple kool-aid.

    Apparently I'm not allowed to run stock speeds now

    Yeah. I've had my newcastle running at 2.35ghz for the last 9 months without problems, today it was a balmy 95F outside and I decided I didn't want my room the same temperature while playing games. So I'm too lazy to get a software cpu overclocking program and reboot to bios so I can give my...

    I bought an Asus K8N-E Deluxe + 3000+ a couple months ago, not knowing that 754 was going to be discontinued, so should I bother getting a 3700+ and OC it for the rest of the year or splurge and get a 939 board and CPU?
