    Do you like [free] MMORPGs and football?

    It's called GoalLineBlitz. It's awesome. You can build your own players the way you want. PM if you have questions about it. I started about a year ago and I'm hooked. There is no monthly fee but you are able to buy "flex points" as often as you like to create more players or buy teams to...

    Okay...here it is... In the beginning of this year, I built a HTPC. I bought Windows Vista Home Premium edition for it. It has been running fine. I had 2 hard drives in it (SATA 250 and SATA 500). I decided to just use the 500 and take out the 250. The thing is that the 250 was my boot...

    VisionTek x800xt - all of a sudden it's running really hot!

    I got an x800xt from VisionTek last fall. I have been running it on my P4 DFI LanPart mobo just fine for months. The other night, I went to upgrade my P/S from an Antec 430 to an Antec 480. It seemed to work fine. I moved it a couple of days later (I went home) and the it was running...

    Java and 64-bit?

    I am working with someone who has a X2 cpu and is having problems with Java. I have not looked too much into it yet but he tells me that everytime he starts an Java app, it freezes his computer. He looked on Java's website and told me that Java doesn't support 64-bit CPUs. That doesn't sound...

    Did anyone see the finish to the Alamo bowl? I would be livid if I were a Michigan fan. Not only they were on the wrong side of bad officiating once or twice...but they were on the wrong side three times in the last 6 minutes!!! What do you think???

    DFI LanParty Pro 875B [PATA vs SATA]

    I recently bought a DFI LP Pro 875B. I've tried both a PATA and SATA drives and discovered something really strange. The PATA blows the SATA drive out of the water in read and write speeds. The PATA (a couple of years old) is a WD 80Gb w/ 8mb cache. The SATA (only a month or so old) is a...

    Recently, I have been looking at buying a new motherboard for my P4 2.6 Socket 478 cpu. In the past, the DFI LanParty boards have looked good. Now that I can buy when I find what I want, I can only find the Socket T mobos. Are they EOL or did something happen to that series? Does anyone...

    CPU heatsink/fan weight question...

    I am looking for getting a new mobo and possibly a new HSF for my CPU. I recently heard that the most weight you want to safely have for a HSP unit is around 400g. I would like to get an all copper one (for better heat displacement) but found that they are generally well over that 400g safety...

    What's the difference between DDR1 and DDR3 for graphics cards? I heard that DDR3 is better at overclocking. If I don't plan on doing that, what will it do for me?

    9800 256-bit vs. 6600gt 128-bit

    I'm thinking of upgrading my video card. I like the 6600GT but the one thing that concerns me is that fact that is only 128-bit while the 9800 Pro is 256-bit. I've seen a big difference between the bandwidth with previous cards. It seems like the 6600GT is the way to go. Please advise...
