Now that we are on the topic..I have been wanting to upgrade my rig to get a little better performance (specifically for WoW).
Here is my RIG:

I basically play WoW at 1280x1024 at all LOW settings. It runs at about 85% CPU and 500MB...

Only bad thing is they are a bit bulky looking, but the sound quality is extremely good for the price. If you get a good ear seal the bass is pretty extraordinary.
Personally the DivX format is far superior for portraying quality video than most of the crap that spews from there. Being a fellow techy I'm actually quite shocked you pointed that out.
the obvious character is always the culprit...i forget the old-time screenplay writer who developed this idea (i knew i should learned something in that contemporary film/literary class doh!) but it is very common in movies/tv shows.
i think its milo or that a-hole new guy
I bought a pair of BluBlocker White Aviators 2 years ago and recently lost them. I originally bought them on BluBlocker's Outlet site and have recently found them to be discontinued at the moment. I have searched the internet far and near and cannot find ANYWHERE to get these anymore. I figure...
Also, theres been a bunch of Home Depot 25% off Gift certs. on AMEX MyWishList (note: need an Amex card and need to get one when the time comes...see the other post about the Amex MyWishList)
i just bought some...
im sorry, but audiophile or not, these things are pretty dam good for $8.88 shipped (and even for $12 now). Thanks OP for finding me my apple earbud replacements.
i just tried to do the Home Depot one at 6est at literally 6:00:09 and it says "Try Again"
Do i have to click the thing literally right at 6:00:000000000001 ?
Ya im running Winchester A64 3200+. With another 1GB of memory and this chip I think i can improve my speed substantially. I can't decide if I want to continue upgrading my system or wait to see Vista and build another system completely. So many choices!
Just picked up a:
Harrington High-Back Leather Chair
Link (deal is not on their website)
$99 after instant savings (originally $209)
Not sure if this is available everywhere, but I got mine at the Office Depot in Plymouth Meeting, PA. Just built it and seems extremely comfortable...have no...
I have one and love it. However my mom hates it because well, shes a woman and doesnt understand technology and that clicking one button to turn on the TV, AV reciever and cable is easier than clicking 3.
I just got a new 7900 GS (thanks woot.com!) Everything went smoothly until i ran a movie in WMP. The colors of the video are extremely dark. It's almost as if the gamma is turned real low. Video works fine in Quicktime, VideoLan, etc. Is this a nvidia problem or WMP problem?
I don't know if this is 100% true for all of them but I have a USB AC Adapter for my car and I can only charge when NOT listening to music, i.e. I can't listen to music and charge at the same time.
Here is my current setup:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 Winchester 3000+ 1GHz FSB 1800MHz
Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce 4
Memory: 2x512 MB of Corsair PC 3200 DDR
Video Card: Leadtek 6600 GT 128MB GDDR3 PCIx16 Nvidia
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 80.0 GB @ 7200 RPMS
I mainly play WoW...
I have yet to figure out why people buy "Computer" 5.1 systems....is it just me or aren't they a little overpriced when comparing to HITB? i bought a 420 Watt Sony HITB with a SPDIF/optical input for $200 last year and its unbelievable for music, movies, and gaming. My buddy had a promedia 5.1...
I actually have a question concerning this. I currently have 1GB Ram of the cheap Corsair Value Select. I am looking to upgrade and would like to buy some legitimate RAM (like OCZ). If I buy something different from Corsair are they still compatible with the Corsairs Kit (2x512mb) and should i...
@dust - 2 weeks ago I did a complete sweep of dust, even had to clean quite a bit off the heatsink and the mobo fan (northbridge fan i think?)
@psu - So, will the psu itself shutdown if it alone is having heating or leaking issues? The reason i draw the "heat" issue is that i will...
Alright, heres my latest info on what I did:
Updated my BIOS last night and it helped improve a little bit of my performance. I also checked the CPU temperatures:
Boot Up: 33C
Idle: 35C
Active: 41C
I let it run overnight last night with bittorrent running and woke up to find that the...
