I really don't care about high performance or heat spreaders. I just want RAM that works in the wife's Dell, and the cheaper the better. Looking to spend around $30 shipped. Preferably a name brand RAM, at least, with my favorite being G.SKILL.

I just want something that fits in my damn PC. I hadn't realized these had gotten so huge until my 3850 came in the mail several years ago. Actually had to downgrade to a 5550 GDDR5 to get back the 2 hard drive slots I lost to that behemoth. Looks like there's some 7770s that will fit just...

I was just thinking of buying a 1TB hard drive and seeing if I could get one for $40-$45, and then I check Newegg and the cheapest, crappiest one they have is $130. I really hope this levels off soon and the companies don't think, "Hey, let's just leave the prices really high like they did with...

I see several things I want, but I don't want to inherit a ton of anime and have a lot of doubles of things I already own just to get to those. Oh well..

That was way before I built PC's, save for my Pentium Pro 200MHz that I used for a good five years with less slowdown problems than some of my dual-core PCs. However, I did like this old article from anandtech reviewing the mighty Celeron 300A At under $200 there is no way you can go wrong with...

Was it ever determined if Ivy Bridge would support Z68? If not I may just settle with P67 for now. Frankly, I'm shocked that a chipset older than 6 months will work with a next subseries of Intel chips. I had a Pentium D board that wouldn't work with Core 2 Duo, then I had a Core 2 Duo board...

I remember the Pentium D 805 had a ridiculous overclock for its time. My E4300 wasn't much of a processor, but I did get it up from 1.86GHz to 3.1GHz stable, a LOT more than 50% gain. I think others were able to overclock it by 100%.

I may have the board bought for now, but this time I won't confirm until the money actually changes hands on Friday :p Thanks for the offers, all

Bump. Had a motherboard offer for $60 shipped, but the seller waited until just now to bail. I'll try and respond to the other offers received, but I'd like to stay in the $60-$70 shipped area.

Bump

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104069&cm_re=fsp_500-_-17-104-069-_-Product I have a FSP 500W power supply that I bought from newegg a few months ago, but never got around to using it. It is brand new, still shrinkwrapped. Newegg is currently selling it for $59.99 +...

My Gigabyte motherboard died several months ago after only 6 months of use, and I'm having a difficult time finding a decent motherboard that supports my DDR2-1066 RAM anymore since they all seem to have moved on to only supporting DDR3. I'm basically looking for a standard ATX with at least...

Bump, removed request for much older cards. I forgot I had an HD-DVD ROM, and X800 series cards claim they have HDCP, but they are bait and switch half-truths.

Bump, I have an offer for a 4670 at $50. If that can't be beat by Monday, I'll likely go with that. The cheaper your card, the better. If someone offers an X850 XT PE for $15 shipped, they win.
