    I want to overclock my E8500 to match my DDR2 800 1:1

    Hi, I have never overclocked anything before but I want to slightly overclock my E8500 to match my ram 1:1. It is my understanding that a stock E8500 isn?t keeping up with DDR2 800 ram. If I understand correctly, increasing the CPU?s FSB to 1600 @ 3.6Ghz would match the stock ram speed...

    8800GTX 768MB pair with Intel or AMD?

    Regarding the earthwatts supply. Here is a quote from a review: I found that curious because that is the exact same MB I was planning to use. Has this issue been resolved? Should I risk it? Can someone recommend a good 80+ efficiency PS in the same price range?

    8800GTX 768MB pair with Intel or AMD?

    So if i went with an 8800GT would the E6750 take full advantage of the card, or would a the E6850 be more up to the task? Remember, im not going to overclock anything.

    8800GTX 768MB pair with Intel or AMD?

    I think you would be surprised if you had dealt with the game. Running it on a slow PC really hinders the game. It?s not near as interactive. And it runs very slow.

    Help me upgrade my GF?s PC for The Sims 2

    As far as ram goes, is there any benefit in speed or syncing that would make me prefer adding another 512mb to the existing 512 stick instead of adding a 1gb stick to the existing 512?

    Help me upgrade my GF?s PC for The Sims 2

    How would a 9800pro stack up? Am I way out of date here? I was actually trying to figure out how to get the cheapest video card that would max out the processor. (I guess I didn?t communicate that well) If the game is more so processor dependant than graphics card dependant than is a 7000...

    146.8GB 10000 RPM HP SCSI Hard Drive

    I don?t really want them for transferring big files, it will be a windows drive. I was thinking two of these in raid 0 would be faster than my Raptor. Do you think that the lone 147GB will out perform my 36GB raptor as a windows drive?
