    Video Games Are Like Crack Cocaine

    It's just a difference in mentality between the generations. For whatever reason, gaming is a completely unacceptable to anyone over x years old. So long as a person has all their necessaries in order regarding school, work, etc., I don't think spending free time gaming is better or worse than...

    9800 GX2 Pictures and Specs

    Looks like grabbing a gts a year ago was the right move to make. I'll consider upgrading when the next-gen stuff hits, but certainly not for this.

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I'm looking into picking one of these up, but I'm wondering what the average remaining lifespan is going to be on a refurbished unit. I'm not much of a gambler, and I'd consider $400-500 to be one hell of an expensive lesson if the monitor isn't going to chug along until LCD technology is...

    Hardware Headache. Finding the right 20" display

    If you get a lemon from Newegg, I've got a 20wmgx2 I'd be willing to part with (only used for about three weeks, no dead pixels, no other issues). I'll probably be throwing it up on ebay in the next few days.

    Core2Duo RMA - Advice Requested

    Update: After checking around online, I went back and tried to run prime95 again with just small ffts. Surprisingly, it worked just fine. I'm guessing this rules out cpu failure, which would be a huge relief. After that, I went back to memtest. It failed immediately @ 1067mhz and also @...

    Core2Duo RMA - Advice Requested

    Right, but the memory isn't a concern atm. I thought the CPU was the problem area. I don't have a separate power supply I can play with right now, but I'll order one and see how it goes.

    Core2Duo RMA - Advice Requested

    Thanks for the replies so far. 1.) When I first got the chip, it was fine. I could run prime95, memtest, whatever for hours on end. 2.) I tried 1.45v @ stock cpu speed. Same result. Prime95 reports an error within seconds. 3.) Regarding temps, I've always got asusprobe on. The worst...
