I'm surprised you managed to make an account with a incompetent as you are. I will ask you once, stop spamming me.

Ok you make me laugh... Please point out one piece of incorrect data you desperate little retard... :) You really are desperate Nathan... I feel sorry for you. If you wish I will send you the 2009 Masters book that I got this from. And other than that, you are breaking forum rules... 5.)...

Honestly I didn't want to write one for under $1,000, I spaced how much power the GTX 580 would need, but I chose the GTX 580 for a more up gradable system. And the LGA 1156 is still a widely used socket because of the cheap price of the CPU's that can fit in it, and I chose it because there are...

When going for a gaming rig, the GPU will do almost all of the work, but having a CPU that can outperform any other CPU in video and audio creation will increase PhysX by taking a small load off of the video cards with the simple grid rendering. With the dual SLI GTX 590 workload is not...

For people with only $1,000 to spend, you will want a machine that can play games relatively well. My $600 rig that I built 8 months ago can play WoW at maximum graphics at over 200 FPS. If you have a budget of around $9,000, go here for the worlds best computer...

[Updated] For people without a limit on their budget and aren't afraid of spending $12,000, I have the perfect gaming rig for you. I will also post the best rig you can build for a budget of $1,000. Go here if you are looking for a build for around $1,000...

What do you want from a video card? Hardcore gaming capabilities? High end video graphics for movies or possible video editing? Gaming: For a gaming video card you are going to want to look at 'stream processors,' because that more than anything is going to tell you how fast your video and...

The Nvidia benchmarks for the 400 and 500 series have been running practically even with the ATI Radeon 5000 series and 6900 series. The recent benchmarks for Nvidia's top three cards compared to ATI's top three cards have shown that Nvidia is almost parallel to ATI on just about every platform...

What is binary? Binary is the long lines of millions of 1's and 0's that goes through the ram as a positive or negative charge to be stored until used by the processor. The processor reads the billions of lines of binary and in turn gives out billions of lines of binary to command the computer...

Mastaforga (me) explains the inner workings of hardware to help people find the facts.

The second biggest question that any true hardcore gamer should know. Who is better, Nvidia or ATI? Nvidia reads pictures as one flat plane of polygons making lines and corners less define only to a point that a 1080p monitor will show if you have a magnifying glass, and shadow lighting doesn't...

The biggest question in the hardware world. Which is better, Intel or AMD? AMD is not a bad processor. Intel is not bad either. Compiling within an AMD motherboard makes C to C++ binary readability absolutely terrible with an AMD processor. AMD separates Java, A+, and other frameworks that games...
