    slow windows boot

    When the Windows 2000 Professional logo comes up the loading bar starts off halfway finished and then takes 20-25 seconds before it starts loading windows. For some reason there is absolutely no hard drive activity during this time. Otherwise once I get into windows everything works as it...

    AMD 64 3500+ worth it or should I go with 3200+?

    Is the 3500+ worth the extra $70 or will the 3200+ be fast enough for my needs? I am a pretty hardcore gamer and have been using a Athlon XP 2400+ with a BFG 6800 GT for some time now. Athlon XP just doesn't get the job done anymore and have been looking forward to an upgrade for some time now.

I have heard the the new cooling...

    I am interested in upgrading my current video card (Geforce 4 Ti 4600) to a nice new BFG 6800 GT. My problem is that when I overclocked my Ti 4600, I ended up having some pretty nasty results in Doom 3 and since I know that the BFG is overclocked I was wondering if any BFG owners have...
