    Why do you build houses out of wood?

    Hi Americans. If i'm generalising please correct me, but from TV/Films it appears most of your free standing homes are made of wood? Why is this. Can most people not afford to build out of brick? Where I come from (Australia) only older/low cost homes were built from wood. Brick...

    World of Warcraft

    I have heaps of time to burn so I bought WOW. Is it just me, or is it boring as shit? Am I doing something wrong? I'm only on about level 12, but i'm already sick to death of quests where you have to kill the same thing 50 times in order to collect what they drop! Does it get better...

    Just finished watching "Sicko"

    I usually don't like Micheal Moore. He seems like a left wing nut job. But this film was better than his normal stuff. Was anyone swayed by this film, do you now support UHC when you didnt before? I believe he made a very good argument. At least a more rational one that he usually does...

    8800GTS - Power Issue?

    I just got an 8800GTS 320 and i'm not sure if its running aswell as it should. I thought if it didn't get enough power it would just crash? Will it just slow down if it doesn't get enough power? I only have a 300w power supply, and I wasnt sure if it was going to run. I was going to...

    Temporary Card for Bioshock

    Hey everyone. I want to play Bioshock but I only have a 6600gt :( I want to buy a 9800 when they come out, so I can play Crysis. I can get a X1950pro for $200AU. Is it worth it, or should I just get a 8800 now and forget about the 9800?

    Red Hot P4 3.0

    My P4 3.0 gets crazy hot in summer. Room temps can get to 30c+. When playing games my P4 will hit 80c+ and throttle. It was one of the very first Prescott cores, so its a POS. I have got some arctic silver 5, but that only helped a little bit. Whats the best aftermarket 478...

    P5B Deluxe Voltage

    I have an E6600 running on a P5B Deluxe. At stock speed the voltage at load, using CPU-Z, shows around 1.2. If I overclock to 3Ghz, its shows 1.35v, and at 3.3Ghz it shows 1.4v+. I have the voltage set to auto in the Bios, but I just though that meant the factory setting for the chips...

    My mate needs a new machine. He doesn't play games at all, and is fine with onboard video. He does a bit of dixv incoding etc. I was thinking and PD805 and Intel D101GGC mobo. Does this sounds ok. I hate to recommend intel atm, but you cant go past the 805 if your not gaming. Will this...

    AM2 NOT 333Mhz HTT?

    I don't have an A64 so i'm not too sure how it works, but by the look of the Toms Hardware article on the AM2, it looks like it won't have 333Mhz HTT. All the processors listed are divisible by 2. ie 2.0 , 2.2 , 2.4 etc. Does that mean the HTT has to be 200Mhz. I thought the AM2...
