    Would you buy a 'Vette?

    I would think it all depends on your level of income. When I was starting out my career the thought didnt even cross my mind. It is a pure extravagant expense that one doesnt need. Now however that I've advanced, I've had 3 of them. An 08 z06, 03 z06 and now a 12 z06. The 08 was a much...

    How much has your net worth decreased due to the economic changes?

    I cashed out my 401k about 2 months ago and I'm glad I did... we're talking about a measely couple grand, but I ended up making 15% or so after taxes, etc. I did triple my salary by getting a new job though, so that really helps..

    Vista now or wait?

    I would say wait, but not because of MS, but because video card drivers and sound card drivers are sucky at best right now, creative just plain sucks and nvidia and ati are just catching up...

    Roll Call: Vista Users, who are not taking Advil?

    I installed vista in under 30 minutes. I have ultimate OEM 32 bit. I have to say that the BETA sound drivers from creative work just fine. The BETA drivers from nvidia are pretty crappy... no o/c options and the rest is vanilla. Also suspend doesnt work anymore, the computer will not boot...

    What are your CPU upgrade plans?

    I will take my 3200+ out and replace it with a 4600+ X2, which should cost around $224 in a week or two. Right now that same cpu is more than $550. My option is either spend about $750 for conroe+mobo+ram, or spend about $250 and get performance that's pretty darn close. I'd save $500 for...

    Just volt modded 7900GT.. performance difference not much?!?!

    the performance gain is going to be greater going from stock to auto detect, than from auto detect to vmod, this is because the speed of the gpu is increasing, but the speed of the cpu is the same. its not really worth it to mod it any higher than 1.4volts and from what I can tell your results...
