    G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2 1066 $54.99

    Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't plan on overclocking but I can go into bios and do it. I also didn't realize that most mobo's don't default at 1066 even if it says it. That's crazy. I have the GA-P35-DS3L which supports 1066, so I will go with that and up the voltage. If you have...

    G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2 1066 $54.99

    I need to upgrade to 4gb so I can comfortably install and run Vista. Is the price of memory coming down this much that 4gb is around $50, or is this just the low end quality ram? I probably won't be overclocking the RAM, so this price seems like a good deal to me. Thoughts?

    Monitors from Best Buy

    Yah, I bought it. The store pickup option let me know that the 10 best buys within 45 minutes of me don't have it. I'll just wait it out and see how it is. You're right, I can always return it :) I think I will like the huge resolution and screen size too much to do that, though.

    Monitors from Best Buy

    Edit: Nevermind, just saw the ad on BB, online only. I'll do that now. Worth the wait, getting it for $182

    Question is in the topic. I am wondering if the mobo supports pci-e 2.0, as it is not reference on their web page. Thanks.

    19" widescreen vs 21+" widescreen

    I have an 8800GT card which supports very high resolutions. I don't prefer to spend very much money, and I notice the lower end 22" and 21" widescren monitors go for around 200-300. Those resolutions don't go much higher than 1680x1050 though. Would I be better served with a 19" or 20"...

    Considering the Corsair HX520W as a replacement..

    Just out of curiosity because I am considering one of these... Both of them come with an adapter to make the 20 pin motherboard cable compatible with a 24 pin motherboard slot, right?

    e6600,8800gt,1hd,1cdrom

    After doing some price research for local stores, I saw some 20 pin to 24 pin adapters. It had not crossed my mind at all to look for an adapter. This should work much better than buying a whole new power supply. Edit: Nevermind. My current power supply has been giving me problems lately...

    e6600,8800gt,1hd,1cdrom

    So I would like to overclock my cpu, but nothing else. I currently have 2x1gb sticks of DDR2 Ram. My motherboard is not SLI and I do not intend to go SLI anytime in the near future. Right now the most intensive thing I do is play MMORPG's. I don't play those FPS like crysis or bioshock, and...

    Q6600 & GA-P35-DS3L

    I just purchased them. I'm very excited to use these 2 pieces to start my computer rig. My current one is 4 years outdated. Thanks for your opinions.

    Q6600 & GA-P35-DS3L

    I'm going to be using my machine as a gaming machine--mostly MMORPG's and RTS. My friends recommended this combination, but none of them are tech guru's, so I came here. I see a lot of people with the Q6600 and the ip35 boards, but for a budget board is this one okay? Has anyone held stable...

    24" Widescreen for Gaming?

    I have a similar question. There are 2 specifications when it comes to monitors that I have been curious about. The response time (ms) and refresh rate (hz). For a gaming LCD that is over 24", I recently heard that the refresh rate does not matter. I have a hard time believing that. There...

    Intel or AMD for HTPC not using IGP

    Some of the sticky threads here and on other sites are outdated by at least a year. From what I have been reading, AMD cpu's are better for systems which you buy a GPU. Intel is better if you use a board with IGP. Is this still the case to date? Also, if I go Intel, is the Core 2 Duo still...

    GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H @ [H]

    That's good news about the ram, I can deal with the size of it for now. You suggest larger drives instead of a few 500gb's though? I'll be ripping a lot of HD/BR movies which take up almost 50gb worth of space. I was goign to grab 2-3 500gb hard drives and let er rip. Maybe if the raid...
