I'm trading in my Athlon x2 6000. I would like to buy the Core 2 Duo E8400. Of course, I need a LGA 775 motherboard. I would like one that will accomodate my DDR2 800 RAM--at least until I can afford...

I'm considering replacing my AMD CPU and processor with Intel (that is, once I can save the money). I don't want to spend any more than $500 (250 pounds or 350 Euros). I've been looking at the Q6600...

Well, as far as price/performance, AMD still gives more for $. That's what I meant; AMD processors are slower, but they're also cheaper....

Do you think the role of intel and amd will reverse? AMD will focus more on marketing to the common man and Intel will focus on higher end CPUs. What do you think Apple's role will be in this? They...

I was hoping the release of the Phenom series would give them a bump, but I hear there are serious issues with the L3 cache. In your opinion, are they sunk? How much longer would you say they will be...

I used to have an 7600 GT KO, which could run almost all games on highest settings I threw at it. I bought an 8800 gts compulsively, but see very little difference. Could be because I'm using an...

Just curious.

No CD-ROM/R/RW or DVD-ROM/R/RW? They're pretty cheap, might as well throw one in. Is a powersupply and at least an exhaust fan included in the case? If not, you'll need them.

I wasn't surprised. It started to get hot yesterday, I noticed, my motherboard LED isn't even lit this morning.
I need 5 molex connectors, 1 SATA and 20+4 connector?
What sort of specifications...

Got a rating of 780.1. Has anyone else run this test?
I'm a little let down, but I realize that I had to budget a bit.

Anyone know what (whether) AMD is cooking up? Will they be able to recover the obvious Intel lead?

Posted on AMD forum. Said what I expected: if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Ran stability test for 2 1/2 hours, set my PC Probe CPU temp to 52 degrees. The alarm never went off. I never saw it get...

Went over budget a bit, but it's worth it! You might try buying cheap RAM and update later.

I know I'm probably irritating people by droning about this, but, I asked this question and I don't feel as though I got a answer (if I did, please refer me)!
As I've said, my Zalman 9500's contact...

This may just be anecdotal and I'm sure Jamie can speak more on the issue because he's using intel, (and is more knowledgable) but my AMD stock cooler is working fine (installed it 'cause I'm sick of...

One thing about static that I noticed while building: One of my buddies helped me assemble. After an hour of arduous work, he sat down in my cloth desk chair (the machine was on my g/f's wood...

Rob,

I mostly talked to people in forums, who said they've read about it. I even took it into CompUsa, one of the techs there said he built a computer for a friend and came across something like...

I was in the same position 3 weeks ago. Building my own increased my knowledge 300%!

Checking out your motherboard, I noticed that it got dubious reviews:...

I apply the AS5 myself. I've watched the instructing video. When I initially applied it, I applied as much as they instructed as they instructed...that didn't work (47 C). When I noticed little...

I mentioned this in another entry, but doing some research (product reviews on newegg.com) I found that some people had the same problem I have: when I take off the 9500, it only has AS5 residue...

I think it would be great if we could insert images from file--if this is feasible--allowing us to get suggestions on airflow, etc.

Great site, forums helped a lot.

I took off my Heatsink fan, again (this time noticing a slight scratch on the bottom of the heatsink pad--not sure if this is bad). I noticed that the Arctic Silver 5 had only touched the heatsink...

I just took off old thermal grease using Acetone (thanks for the suggestion Jaime Nixxx) and high purity alcohol and coffee filters. Replaced it with Arctic Silver 5. I changed my case fans around to...

I can't speak for the technical specs of either, but when looking at Intel's ad budget, it's hard to see how they will ever be able to match AMD's prices...just a novice's opinion. I've always taken...
