    Computer Restarts Before Windows Fully Starts

    You bring up a very good point. I believe the culprit is the "Easy Energy Saver" that came with my motherboard drivers. (It basically lowers your voltage to save energy.) I would shut down my computer with it running; that's probably why.

    Headset + Speakers

    Thanks for your input, guys. I will be using the headset/speakers for multimedia use (gaming, movies, music, anything in between). I will be using the GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P's Realtek ALC889A onboard audio.

    AMD vs Intel future plans?

    Intel plans on releasing their 32nm processors in Q4 2009 while AMD plans to release their 32nm processors in 2010 and AMD Fusion in 2011. (Correct me if I'm wrong) What are your opinions? Will Intel begin to reign over AMD again?
