    Is an external tuner an option?

    I'll be needing a tv-tuner soon, mainly for watching the little tv I do on my computer(s), and some limited recording. I'll be using DVB-T as that's the basic 'must carry' signal where I live (Denmark) and I don't want to pay for cable or satelite services. The thing I'm at a loss with is...

    Time to retire my old rig?

    I'm getting a new Toshiba Protegé R500 (C2D mobile 1,2 ghz 2mb, 1 gb memory, GMA950) and I'm wondering whether, considering it's specs, there's any reason for keeping my old rig for gamin-purposes. So far the rig, a northwood a 2,0 ghz with 512 mb pc2700 memory and a GF4 Ti4200, has been at...

    Ram FSB and Conroe

    I have a few things I want to sort out conserning the memory sub-system before (hopefully) get my hands on a Core 2 Duo. First thing: am I correct in believing that any DDR2 speed higher than the FSB will yield no, or only small, performance benefits? - As I've understood it the bandwidth of...

    DDR2 - how much and how fast?

    Hello there. I'm putting together a rig for my younger cousin (putting together = deciding what he should buy in this instance). The config will probably be: X2 3800 + AM 2 MSI K9N SLI 7600 GT He won't be overclocking and the system will probably be used for gaming, but not anything...

    Dual core or better graphics

    I'm giving advice for a younger cousin who'll be building a computer for gaming. I've been having something like this in mind: ASUS A8-R MVP Crossfire AMD 64 XP 3200 Venice OR AMD 64 X2 3800+ Asus GF7900 GT OR Asus GF7600 GT 2 * 512 MB Kingston ValueRAm Antec 2650 BQE chassis NEC ND-3550...
