There you have it folks.
Console version is the superior version.:rolleyes:
The computer has dominated much of entertainment habits and I only use the TV for news and the rare show I want to support through Nielsen ratings.
But I want to transform my living space so my gaming and media watching could be both done in the living room with multiple people.
I used to...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Experimenting with virtual desktops. Dedicated browser. Gaming.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$130 is where I'm comfortable at. I can push it to $160 if I'm convinced it is worthwhile...
Been thinking about making a gpu upgrade to this weak computer I've been upgrading in pieces over the years.
The PSU I have (and this was an upgrade over an ever weaker one) which uses four 12V rails with a capacity to support 20 Amps.
While looking at something that actually requires a...
Initially I thought sli and crossfire would be a no brainer decision but recently I became more aware of the inherent flaws they haven't overcome.
1) No triple buffer support
2) Decreasing visual quality as framerates go up, microstutter.
Are there any other bonuses to using a single card...
I'm sure anyone who has been trying to keep an eye out for something resembling a solid review of UPS' is frustrated with the scarce research pool especially among the sites that are noteworthy for PSU research.
I actually suggest you also read the comments because of additional insight...
Last week when the leaks started flowing one of the features that was unknown was Eyespeed. The first couple of reviews I read never even mentioned it yet AMD now acknowledges it being real.
Reading up on this promo it seems to be AMD is doing more than just offering physics improvements but...
More inside.
This article touches on a thought I've been having when reading reviews of SSD performance on Win 7.
I think the rising popularity of SSDs has caught MS and other OS designers completely off guard. Anything they've done now to address the performance of SSDs is a bandaid and...
Two big changes are developing right now that increases the need for more pci slots.
Lucid 200 gives people less incentive to discard aging cards.
PCIe is catching on as the way for SSDs to go instead of SAS or further improvements to SATA.
This is even more speculative but I also...
I think I've seen something like the Kobalt's chassis made elsewhere but I don't recall it looking as good as this. Does any recognize a standard pc case company making a chassis like this?
LOL *groans*
I know he was going for a very simplistic answer but:
[sarcastically]Can't wait to here the abridged answer on what UPS I should be using. Is there a calculator for that?[/sarcasm]
What makes SSDs a controversial product is that they have a completely different focus from traditional hard drives.
Their difference in cost is based moreso on other factors like speed and not storage capacity.
The press releases and reviews out there just don't give a good enough picture of...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Heavy Web browsing with streaming videos. Light gaming.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $100 is my ceiling.
3) Where do you live? NY
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? Reread OP :p
5) If reusing any parts, what...
Came across a couple of interesting sources that go against the grain of what I usually read about UPS considerations.
But these guys aren't saying that Stepped and Standby are flatout better, I just used an inflammatory title to attract attention to their thoughts.
Anyway to sum up some...
So far I've come across four different places that try and go the extra mile in reviewing cases.

Cons
Only 1GB Memory
Ebay
Pros
Visual Output without additional assistance
Will you pull the trigger? :p
Disclaimer: Posting this here instead of hotdeals because of post limit rule for that area and I think this was good for a laugh.
I'm learning more and more about UPS each month but I need a little help and possibly reassurance on what I'm understanding.
While reading this I came across some info on power factors in part 2.
So if I'm reading this right, if I had 2000VA UPS it wouldn't work in a home at its...
My experience with Nvidia drivers has been limited but I've looked my experience with Catalyst over the past few years.
While scouring on the net for any comparison of the two I came across this recent entry but I thought it would be interesting to see what hardforum goers had to say.
I seriously have no need for the speed performance abilities of SSD applied to 1 TB of hard drive space (120 GB tops). Yet if this thing comes out closer to the low end estimates of $1500 I'll actually purchase it instead of blowing my wad on an X-25M 160 GB.
Hmmm :eek:
Three things:
1.From what I can gather I shouldn't need to account for the monitor since it plugs directly into a wall outlet. But if I'm mistaken about that correct me.
2.Stereos and subwoofers I believe should be taken into a consideration as long as they are connected directly through a...
I've decided that if I'm going to get a sound card in the future I'll use an HT Omega Claro.
I've seen only two flaws mentioned in reviews. They don't bother me but I've noticed a possible work around for one of them.
The P6T6 WS Revolution motherboard supports EAX 4.0 with its integrated...
