    College Application Help

    Ah, that is a good point, I've looked into them a couple years ago, I have a few not too far from where I live, would it be a decent paying job though would you know? Even though I'd love something like that, I'd hate for it to have a bad payout, when I can just do it as a hobby and find...

    College Application Help

    Yes and no, I'd like to go to college for something computer hardware related, nothing too much in the development field, rather build and repair, not necessarily a shop like I said in my first post, I do realize that was for the dawn of computing. I just want to be happy with what I do, and...

    Best 2GB DDR2 1066MHz Sticks for Penryn?

    Or you can save $100 and OC the 800's. The reviews look like they are over clocking easy. I own them, but I havn't OC'd because I was just testing them on my XPS before I buy the mobo and all that other good stuff. http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16820146565

    Two 1gb Crucial Ballistix sticks

    I don't know anything about the computer except it's a standard Dell XPS410, I was just testing this Ram for my upcoming build. If I run CpuZ, will it still find it even though it aint working? Muew... I'll just swap the Ram with the working ram to see if it works tomorrow... What would it...

    Two 1gb Crucial Ballistix sticks

    Well, I already had 2gig in, and I got 2 more gig of Crucial Ballistix for my custom build. I decided to test it in my good ol' dell XPS410. When I had all 4 sticks in, it at first wouldnt boot up. Then I took the two Crucial Ballistix out, and it worked fine. Then I put one stick back in...

    Best ram for $120

    What would the best 2gb stick ram be for http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16813188012 this motherboard? I'd prefer one 2gb stick, so I can upgrade to dual channel in the future

    One 2gb stick

    what benefits do I get with dual channel? just faster? I will upgrade to 4gb eventually anywho

    One 2gb stick

    Would it be safe to run one of these on this motherboard? Right Here I was told you can only run at least 2 sticks of ram at a time, but I know my friend was running with one 512 stick. I am just confirming I didn't lose my mind.

    Amd vs. Intel - HD2900XT

    Alright, I thought it sounded weird. http://www.asus.com/products.a...model=1655&modelmenu=2 under expansion slots ---- But an 8800GTS can deff. fit in the p5ke?

    Amd vs. Intel - HD2900XT

    Now on the p5k-e, it says it's crossfire ready(On the asus website). Does that mean it can run Sli too? Even though 1 pcie slot is x4 or x1? I am just stumped as to why it would only say crossfire and not sli. I don't plan on going crossfire or sli anytime soon, but it's just something nice...

    Intel vs Amd build

    Oh... thanks for pointing that out. I still think I am going to head for p5k. I am not buying it myself, I am going to get it as a present. What benefits will I get from it? Or that GA-P35 I was recommended

    p5k e versus GA-P35

    I'd love to overclock in the near future, and the ASUS seems like the way to go. But I've been told to go the gigabyte way to save a few dollars. I rather pay an extra $50 to get $50 or more performance out of my other parts. p5ke bridges seem good and I love the fact it as built in wifi...

    320mb vs 640mb

    What are the benefits of paying an extra $100 for the 640mb 8800 versus the 320mb model? How big of a difference would there be in game? I usually play games on 1024x768 and my windows resolution is about that too! Thanks for the replies! DocHolliday

    Intel vs Amd build

    I built 2 rigs, intel and Amd. Which of the builds would you guys recommend? Or what changes? I am not sure about the p5k, the specs seem great, but there are not enough reviews to go along with it. I have read around here, and you all sound very intelligent when it comes to this! Intel...
