Keep your devices off when it happens. Only way to keep them safe. :P

I'm just wishing to turn on a bit more eye candy in games like Dragon Age and the likes. I don't really have the money for a whole new system and want to squeeze out a bit more life out of my pc. I'm hoping to last until games like FF14 hit the shelves. The most I could spend is 600$ if I...

I wish to upgrade my video card, but I'm not sure if going for a 4870 would be much of an upgrade over a 8800GT. I don't want to spend over 200$. Keeping it under 200$ would be great. My current specs are: DFI Lanparty LT-X38 Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.6 GHZ 2GB DDR2 GeForce 8800GT Would I...

Thanks, I'm a little less paranoid now. I'll bump the voltage to 2 on my memory. I still cant get an accurate reading on my cpu temp, but the core temps are always the same through out these different apps.. so I'll go by that. Hopefully things hold up come summer time, when it's a lot...

I'm running an E6750 on a DFI LP LT X38, with 2 G.SKILL 1GB DDR2 1066 modules. I've got it set to 1:1, with the memory running at 450MHZ and 4-4-4-12 at 1.95V. The CPU is set to 1.3V, with the multiplier set at 8. So it's sitting at 3.6 GHZ right now. I'm a little concerned, because...

I decided to just go with the X38. Since the DK version was out of stock I bit the bullet and paid more for the LT version. Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully it performs well.

Alright, I've decided to go with DFI. But I still cant decide whether to go with the X38 or the P35. So it comes down to this.. Do I get the LT P35-T2R or the DK X38-T2R?

Yes, I dont do major upgrades very much. I try to squeeze as much as I can out of my parts before I change them out. Unless something comes out that has a lot of improvement, then I'll update really quick. I'm still not sure what to go with. All the options are overwhelming. But I do plan to...

Hey, I'm building a brand new PC since my current one is ancient and falling a part. (It's an old Athlon XP system :( ) I'm planning on purchasing an E6750 for now and getting an e8400 when the price finally goes back down and it's actually in stock. I would wait and just get the e8400 but I...

I'm sorry, a TN panel is not considered "perfect"

All this arguing is pointless anyway. Gateway wised up and changed how their exchanges worked. It's 500$ now, not 98$. I always knew it was risky of them to only charge 98$ and it looks like they realized this too. ;)

When do you think it will start showing up in stores like Best buy or Fry's? I dont really want to try buying from Gateway. If I can buy it at a regular store I can return it easily if it's plagued by problems like the 24". Also, why am I not surprised the 30" has a similiar heat issue as the...

Because it will apparently upscale any 1080 or below feed to its native res. Good for gamers I guess. You'll be able to run at a lower res and still get a decent picture. I still get the feeling there will be something that will ruin it. Just like with the 24". MaximumPC seems happy...

What kind of panel does it have? Anyone know?

This really sounds too good to be true... you know what they say. :/
