    Let it run or dump it?

    Did a Google search to see if anyone else was getting these, and came across this thread. I got 4 of these on my Q6600 @ 3.0 Ghz machine... I'm getting 650 PPD each on these - for a total of just over 2600 ppd. That is more than double what I was getting with the ambers, so I'm happy :p...

    Anyone overclocking a G6600 with the Intel Heatsink?

    I overclocked my G0 Q6600 to 3.0 on default voltage, with the stock intel heatsink for 2 weeks. It never got above 72 C, but I didn't like it that hot, so I got a Scythe Mine cooler from Microcenter, and now it never goes above 55 C.

    Q6600 SLACR OC with Stock HSF?

    I got my Q6600 G0 stepping to 3.2 Ghz on the stock cooler, with stock voltage. (with Vdroop, it is running 1.224 v). Running folding 24/7, it was too hot (70+ C). I decided to drop it to 3.0, and it levelized at 66-68 C. I got a Scythe Mine cooler at the local Microcenter, and it is now...

    p4 2.4 nothwood overclock??

    I have a 30 capper 2.4c that ran 3.0 for the past 3 years, on stock voltage (folding the whole time!). Right before I upgraded to a Q6600 I wanted to see what it could do. It ran up to 3.2 on default voltage w/ hyperthreading. With Hyperthreading off, it would run 3.4 on default voltage...

    XBOX 360 HD-DVD addon

    Yeah - I got one the week they came out. It is a great little add - on and certainly worth the $200. I've watched a few movies, both HD-DVDs and SD DVDs. To answer a few questions: Think of it as a USB 2.0 add-on drive - it can read the files, but you need either a PC or the 360 to...

    Gears of War Reviews/discussion/impressions.

    Great game! It reminds me a lot of Quake 2 in game speed and weapon damage. And, the multiplayer reminds me a lot of Rocket Arena 2. I'm sure there are other games out there that are set up similarly, but that's the first thing I thought. In response to a few posts from yesterday, I am...

    HDTV for Console Gaming

    I would vote CRT as well, as long as you can deal with the large size and weight. The Picture Quality is great, it handles the SD signals as well as anything else, and you will be able to get a larger screen size for the money. You really should go to HD cable or satellite if you are going to...

    Wii over a 360?

    This is an example of the free market doing what it is supposed to do. If someone wants a unit that will display HD signals, get one that does that. Some people don't care as much about the HD sigals. For those people, there are consoles out there that don't display HD resolutions...

    What will you be getting this holiday season

    Oh, definitely. I very clearly stated what it was. I guess there is quite a demand out there for "broken" ones - apparently people fix them and use them or re-sell them. I got $175 or so for it I think.

    Plasma TV Bad fpr gaming?

    Camping stories here please!

    Didn't really camp out so to speak, but I did get up extra early and showed up at 4:10AM at Target. Got in line (I was #41, they had 43 tickets to hand out at 6AM) (22 "premium" and 21 "core"). Went home and back to bed - wife picked up the system and it should be waiting for me when I get home!

    Celeron M, have they improved at all?

    I actually bought a Gateway 6020GZ about 3 months ago. It has a 1.4 Ghz Dothan Celeron M. I have been very happy with it - mostly running email and word processing, but the occasional photoshop work. I have been very happy with this particular computer - both with the computing power and the...
