    Q6600

    I went from Q6600@3.2 to a 2500k@4.5 It's night and day, in my mind. My wife still gets lots of play time on the Q6600, but I'm very happy that I upgraded.

    CS Degree - In over my head?

    Sounds like you just didn't stick to it 12 years ago. The real question isn't whether you're in over your head. The question should be: are you willing to really apply yourself to figure it all out. That is BS about "you get it or you don't". Just study hard, keep working on the...

    Question for Sandy Bridge owners

    Intel tower cooler

    Yeah, for $12 that's solid. Just making sure the OP wasn't suckered in by the "ooh intel shiny". I'm really easy to sucker in with the shiny toys (just ask my wife). Trying to help out fellow addict :D

    120hz Windows Desktop (2D performance)

    I second that. I've run a 5830, 4890, and gtx 460 on a 235hz, and they all look really smooth at 120Hz. For kicks, I dropped my display (on a 460 now), to 60Hz, and the difference was immediately noticable. Jarring, even. Then again, I'm the type of guy who cannot watch a 60Hz DLP because...

    Intel tower cooler

    $60 for that cooler seems, uh, crazy. If you're gonna drop that kind of cash, just go buy a Silver Arrow, Venemous X, or something else heavy duty. I see Silver Arrows for sale < $70 fairly often.

    Why Are Heatsinks Nickel-Plated?

    Probably. Though you might be hard pressed to even measure the difference outside of a specially built lab.

    Aftermarket coolers for Palit GTX460 1gb?

    Found the zalman vf2000: http://www.zalman.com/eng/product/Product_read.asp?Idx=339 Based on the dimensions, it looks like it should fit with about 5mm to spare. It's also priced ok (one site has it for $36 shipped). I might just try it.

    Aftermarket coolers for Palit GTX460 1gb?

    Any luck? I, uh, had a moment and broke 2 fins off of my palit's cooling fan (damn, that thing's brittle!). I've been desperately searching for an aftermarket alternative and have failed miserably. Those thermalright units are like $70 and I doubt they'd even fit. No way I'm spending that...

    Asus P8P67 Pro SSD issues

    I just went into the SSD Toolbox. There are two buttons: Run Fast and Run Full Diagnostic Scan. That's what I was referring to. I'm not sure if they'll turn anything up, but who knows. As for being full, I didn't realize that made a difference. I thought SSDs had a lot of extra space...

    Help? 0% overclock with ASUS P8P67, 2500K and using Auto Overclock?

    Honestly, just tell him to boot into the EFI and set the multiplier to 40. Tell him to watch his temps and he'll be fine. I honestly wouldn't go higher than 4Ghz on stock cooling. I've read reports of 4.2Ghz, but that seems like pushing it to me. I know I'm avoiding the question, but I don't...

    Learning Programming - Online or Communinty College?

    Make sure you learn computer architecture. The best programmers we've hired have a good, solid understanding of how a computer *works*. You need to understand instruction sets, cache (and the various types), memory, interrupts, etc. OS theory is really important, too. How a scheduler works...

    Asus P8P67 Pro SSD issues

    OP - I'm running with the same drive and mobo as you, and my as-ssd scores are actually better than your p35 scores (total score of 411). The only difference I can see is that I did a fresh install of win7, whereas you swapped. Did the SSD toolbox diagnostics flag anything? Is SuperFetch...
