    It's your CPU dummy. Lower your clock speed and voltage before it melts.

    This is all so dissappointing...

    After about a month of hunting, I finally managed to snag an XFX for $238, which is well within MSRP. Just hang in there and keep at it. BTW, don't blame Nvidia, AMD, or even the etailers. Like others have said, the reason these cards are so damned overpriced is because idiots are lining up...

    Pentium Dual-Core E2200

    They've been out for a few days now. Has anyone tried it? If so, how well does it overclock? I'm considering one for my build. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...E16819116063&Tpk=e2200

    DEAD!!! MSI GeForce 8800GT 512M PCIe for $207.99 from Dell - FREE shipping - *but Dell NEVER ships it..delay..delay...*

    Despite sending an email saying to keep my order alive, AND having it acknowledged by Dell, my order's been canceled anyway. I sent another email asking for an explanation. I don't think I really need one. They never had the cards, and they never intended to ship them out. Unless I get a...

    Geforce 8800GT 512mb Alpha Dog + Company of Heros ~ $238

    WTF? I've never heard of a reputable dealer pulling crap like that before. In any case, they'll either cancel the order, take a return, or I'll sell the thing for probably more than I paid.

    Well, I'm keeping my order in place until prices drop or the next generation comes out. The BFG was finally in stock at BestBuy yesterday, just in time for the price to be jacked up. I'm not about to pay $30+ over MSRP. I should have just bought a goddamned Xbox.

    *bangs head against wall* If PC gaming is so dead, why is it so hard to buy a 8800GT, much less at a decent price?

    Just a cube? That's no way to talk about your one and only friend. If he could hear you, his heart would be broken. Well, that is if you hadn't MURDERED him.

    Need help understanding LCDs for gaming...

    Most of the complaints you'll hear about modern displays are about TN panels. They're typically found in 22" displays. Personally, I have a 22" Samsung 220WM and think it's great. This is coming from a guy who used to be fanatical about his Viewsonic A90f. Worst thing about LCDs, imo, is...

    1 raptor or 2 regular drives for OS/swap file speed?

    Set the two Raptors in RAID0 and image them regularly to the 320. Probably better to put swap on the Raptors because of how much faster they'll be. If you're not running Raptors and/or RAID0, then I'd usually advise putting swap on a second drive. It also helps to set swap to a fixed size.

    IP35 vs. DS3L

    Well, it seems like a gamble either way. With the DS3L, there's a chance it won't hit 3.0 ghz or over. With the IP35, there's a chance it won't even boot. Taking that into consideration, I think my choice is pretty clear. Unfortunately, it seems Newegg has dropped the DS3L entirely, and...

    *DEAD* 8800GTs BACK IN-STOCK and $208 (MSI) and $235 (XFX) at Dell!

    Didn't say that, but I don't think people should get their hopes up without proof. Must be a busy guy. That takes all of what, five minutes with MS Paint? And it's not just for me, you'd be doing one hell of a service to everyone who got in on this deal. I believe what the evidence says...

    COOLER MASTER Hyper TX-FREE!! AR

    I'm surprised no one posted this sooner, it's been around since Black Friday. I would've posted it, but they were having a hard time keeping them in stock for a while. I received mine last week. Be warned that this thing is HUEG.

    IP35 vs. DS3L

    I'm going to be putting together a system within the next few weeks. I've decided on 90% of the parts, but I'm still undecided about the motherboard. I'll be overclocking an E2180, powered by a Corsair 520HX. Despite any potential PSU issues, my understanding is that the Abit is more...

    Analyst: Crysis sells 66,000 units?

    The answer's simple, really. Crysis is far too hardware intensive, and UT3 just plain sucks. Release games that are good and don't require a supercomputer to play, and you'll see PC sales. The Orange Box and the Witcher have both been flying off the shelves.
