Ok, so once again since I have been looking at reviews and I thought I was set but I wanted to make sure. I am looking into a power supply that will last for this system I am building. Just want something that will last, be good, and possibly be usual for down the road if I go higher-end...

I am mainly looking for general use. That to me is, internet, photoshop and lightroom work along with a few games. So nothing to fancy. Not looking for the best money can buy, just looking for the best performance within a budget of under a grand

Ok, so I pretty much got most of my ideas that I am wanting to build set. I want to go with an AMD system because I personally like them, even though I know the Intel line when OC'd will beat most if all AMD's hands down. I dont see myself doing any over cloaking with this machine. I dont...

That is how it works for me though at the moment, I just have it sitting on my desk at all times plugged in and on a cooling pad. I needed the higher res for my photo work

Sounds like you should just go the whole nine yards, do liquid cooling and get a central air system, hahahahahahaha. Liquid cooling might be a more practical option if you want to do that. But who knows, I am still new at this. Just my thought

I kinda figure that I wouldnt get much out of it, just kills me that it dropped in value that much since I payed over 2200 for it. Stupid laptops and how they dont hold their value, well anything computer wise really doesnt

I know this maybe the wrong forum for this, and I was going to post in the F/S/T forum but the whole 14 day rule kinda knocks me out of that. What I was trying to do is get some kind of idea of what I should ask in terms of selling price for my laptop I got. Just trying to get an idea right...

is there a certain brand you would recommend for optical drives then?

Started doing some research and kinda put a system together on newegg as a trial run to see how it would turn out. This is what I came up with, any feedback would be helpful Processor:AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz Socket AM2 MOBO: BIOSTAR TFORCE 550 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 550...

So far so good on the performance, it spiked a little bit to around maybe 60% right after I closed a few programs and had a few other load up but I still need to try and hit it with something hard yet

You might want to look at these new reports http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2933 At the same price, which price is a deal to me since I dont have a ton of money to throw around, or close to a E6400 I could get a X2 6000+ that almost out performs that E6400 in most of...

I cleaned out everything last night, I would like avoid having to remove the heat sink and re-apply thermal paste unless I had too. Like last option to me, but can the paste break down that much over the years, or is this somehting that should be done every so often?

I mainly wanted to go with a AMD CPU because of their better performance on Media and game oriented software. Atleast from the benchmarks I seen. I had a tech tell me that he read recent articles that the Core 2 does out perform the X2, but I still wonder if that upgrade in performance would...

If I am looking into an AMD processor, which I probably will unless Intel is the way to go now. Which would work best with which processor. I mean does ATI, or ATI based cards work best with AMD and vice versa with Intel paired with Nvidia. I had someone tell me that putting an Nvidia card...

I will have to see if that dust removal helps. I shouldnt have a virus, I used Killdisc to whipe the hard drive clean and I havent re-installed the wireless drivers so it couldnt have been connected to the internet yet. SO I think the heat issue might be the problem..... I hope atleast. I...
