    Orange Box Portal Resolution Problem

    Ok so I have 2 comps pretty much the same, 1 has AGP video card 1 has PCI-E but they are the same cards. Both comps are on 20" LCD dells. OK so both comps are running the same resolution but when Im in portal on 1 comp I can run the highest res which is 1400x1050 (I think thats the highest)...

    New comp AM2 4600+ x2 Vs. E6300 Core 2 Duo ?

    Ok So im really thinking core2duo . I see getting the 6300 to run 1.3+ghz over clock seems pretty reasonable so maybe I will get one and just go 1ghz over clock. Ok now correct me if im wrong but the intel is quad pumped buss still? so the math for the 6300 is 266fsb quad 2:3 ratio =...

    New comp AM2 4600+ x2 Vs. E6300 Core 2 Duo ?

    Woops looks like I was beat to it on the 4300, yeah but for Gautama2 people whoose the 4300 over the 6300 because it is pratically the same speed (1.8 vs 1.83 or something like that) and has a 200mhz lower bus making it easier to overclock, well easier on the ram and mobo anyway. Man I still...

    New comp AM2 4600+ x2 Vs. E6300 Core 2 Duo ?

    I posted this question on another forum I like as well. Someone responded with this http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...spx?i=2795&p=1 Turns out there incredible close but the 4600+ does nudge out the 6300 on most benchmarks. SO in that respect I was thinking it would come down to...

    New comp AM2 4600+ x2 Vs. E6300 Core 2 Duo ?

    Ok as the title says this is another am2 vs c2d BUT WAIT, this isnt your average debate and Im buying on monday so I wanted some more input on which to choose. My budget first off is very little. Actually let me start with myself, I consider myself to be more elite then nub when it comes to...

    Crash , Reboot, But looks like video card went ?

    The power supply pushes a very nice 28 amp on the 12volt line. Thats pretty high IMO. The cpu should consume less power if I remember correctly. I also tried 2 power supplies at once, one hooked to mobo and other jumped to run the drives and no difference.
