    I want to upgrade my CPU

    Want to upgrade? Buy a new laptop. Two reasons 1. I question your ability to perform the upgrade. At least from the details we provided. Perhaps someone who speaks your native language could be more of help. 2. The chip you want to buy probably cost as much as a cheap core 2 duo...

    Is the Phenom II X3 705e just an underclocked and undervolted 710/720

    Isnt this what cool and quiet is for? I know this is better, but these chips should be all capable of running down to below 1ghz, if the mobo allows it.

    Add 2x1gb ram or replace with 2x2gb to make 4gb total

    Check with your motherboard, make sure either options above are compatible. Upgrading your OS to 64 bit can be a hassle unless you want to do a clean install now anyway. I dont think there will be any difference performance wise, not even with benchmarks, so I would go with what's cheapest.

    What's better? Faster?

    So right now I have a 7200.10 Seagate 320gb drive as my main drive, and an aging ide drive for additional storage. I'm reaching the point where I need another hard drive. Should I get another 320gb and go for raid 0? I do a lot of video encoding, video editing, and things like that. (I dont...

    To People Worried That China is going to Bankrupt Us...

    Also, lets not forget with China's trade surplus, they are sitting on tons of US dollars. They wouldnt bankrupt the US because that would make their US dollars worthless. So can someone please explain how China can bankrupt the US? I've seen it said here many of times and I havent heard anyone...

    house of corruption.

    Not really. I feel there policies are pretty similar, depending on whose in power. When abortion is the hottest topic to seperate the 2, there really isnt much of an idealogical battle.

    To People Worried That China is going to Bankrupt Us...

    How can China bankrupt us? Can someone explain that to me? They can't ask to collect on their loans early. FX manipulation? They are already manipulating it in their favor. I dont get it. I haven't read anything in any magazine that would suggest China has this ability.

    What's with the 18 pack bottles of budweiser/budlight now?

    Um, lets say 20 bottles were 18 bucks. Now lets say 18 bottles are 18 bucks. Same revenue, less beer = more profit. And since people are use to paying 18 bucks for beer, they wont notice a difference. Companies do this all the time and hardly anyone notcices, especially things like...

    House votes to finally end the SUV subsidy!

    Why can't we let the free market decide? If citizens want more investment in alt energy sources they can vote with their feet and with their dollar. There is no need for the gov't to decide for us. Americans have voted, they arent buying SUVs anymore, car companies know this, everyone knows...

    The Ugly Truth About Canadian Health Care

    Actually insurance companies aren't making money. Design a system where the pharmaceuitcals dont make money - and you won't have any pharmaceuticals. There's a high risk in developing drugs so there needs to be a high reward. There are plenty of drug companies that just eat up money and...

    So the Celtics have sold $2M in season tickets... on MONDAY alone

    Houston, Utah, and Denver and not better than the Celtics. No way. Houston hasnt won anything and they have 2 very over rated stars. Utah is a good team, but not better than the C's. Denver with iverson and carmello might be. But in the east, I only the bulls and cavs will compete with the...

    What's the college major that's most "useful" in the real world?

    You have to define business? A general business degree is too broad, one should focus on finance, or accounting, or go into engineering as in manufacturing companies the engineers are going to be the one calling the shots.

    What's the college major that's most "useful" in the real world?

    Thats such BS. There's a lot of useless majors out there. The world does not need 10 million useless econ, soc, and film majors, for the most part they aren't practical. The jobs people get with those degrees have nothing to do with what they learned in school. In some states you dont need a...

    The First Republican Debate: Three Of Them Don't Believe In Evolution!

    There is no absolute proof that one organism can evolve into a different one. Fact. That being said, there is obviously Survival of the fittest, which is the stupidest saying of all time, as naturally the unfit won't survive, and the fit do - by definition.

    Surround Sound Systems that plays divx from USB

    I currently have a samsung surround sound, and it has USB so I can hook up an HD or a thumb drive to play mp3's or view photos. It can also play divx files, but only from a burned dvd, not from the USB port. Does anyone know of a receiver/system that can play divx files from the USB port...

    does an mp3 like this exist?

    Looking for a mp3 that has at least 40gb, pref more than 60gb. I would love it if it could play videos and show pictures as well. But one thing that is important is battery life. I've had a gigabeat S less than a year now and the battery barely last 6 hours now, half of the original 12...
