Looks sweet. But i cant seem to find any reviews on this ram yet. Anyone have any experience with it?
I have built many systems and have a pretty good understanding of everything. The thing is i have ALWAYS built AMD machines and i am now about to build my first Intel.
I have about 1000 bucks to spend and i already have an Evga 8800GTS 640MB. 99% of the time i use my PC for gaming. I do some...

Specs are in my sig. I read the down and dirty guide and my pc seems to be stable im just wondering if i did everything right.
I Changed my HTT to 240. My mulitplier is still x10. HTT is at 4x. I noticed that my ram went up to 240mhz also so i lowered it to DDR 333 and its now at 200mhz...

What im looking for is where windows stores the autofill info. I am a member of tons of forums and i dont remember all my usernames and passwords and some...
I will be purchasing a EVGA 7800 GT CO next week. My main question here is that i do not want to have to upgrade my entire system at this time. The card is quite pricey ($314) so i cannot afford to get a new CPU too.
My current rig is as follows:
Amd64 3000+ skt 754

I was thinking about going to a wireless Wi-Fi network at home. I currently have a linksys router hooked up to my 2 pcs at home but would like to move one of my pcs to the other side of the room without running ethernet wires all over the house. So i have been looking at the new D-Link AirPlus...
I just built my new pc and i have a WD800JD. It has the flexpower thing. I was trying to find something online about the difference and/or benifits of using the sata power cable vs the molex one. Could someone please explain this and let me know which i should use, if that even matters.
Thanks!
Just a quick question for you all. My pc was working fine last night then today i get home from work and turn it on... I get the box on my monitor saying video card not present or whatever. I take out my gfx card and reinstall it. I got the same results. I thought maybe my monitor was messed up...
I have a question for u guru's out there.
Im putting together an amd 64 system and was wondering if i really need to buy a thermaltake venus 12 or something similar. I wont be overclocking or anything, so i was thinking i can save the 30 bucks and just go with the stock heatsink and fan.
I wanted to get some peoples opinion on a new amd64 system i want to build. I have already ordered my skt 754 amd 64 3000+ and the Thermaltake Xaser III lanfire aluminum case with 420w silent pure power power supply.
The rest is what im not so sure about. I use it exclusivly for gaming and...
