    Is it worth the upgrade?

    Wow, I had no idea it would come that cheap. Maybe I'm missing something here but that just doesn't seem possible when expected costs for premium were around $400. Either way if you do want to upgrade your computer would run it decently. It's good you have over a gig of ram and your processor...

    Absolute bare minimum

    It's very possible that may work out fine. I too wouldn't advise it, but I do believe that the 7600GS requires just a 350wt psu. Granted being a generic brand I wouldn't expect there to be the greatest set of amp ratings but if he's not going to budge then it may be the only way to go...

    iTunes dies...

    Something odd happened today that I remember happpening a long while back. The last time I reinstalled the program and all was well but it's a pain and I don't want to have to import all those songs again. What happened was today I popped in a burned audio cd and imported. Apparently from...

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    I'd have to agree actually as I kind of bought when I really didn't have the proper amount of cash to do all I wanted. You'll be in better shape as you're not really skimping here, but I can definately see the advantages of waiting to see how the competition dictates what happens with nVidia.

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    That's fine, the 8800GTS will be plenty for pretty much anything.

    F.E.A.R Extraction Point Graphics

    Probably the X800XT, they tend to score better with DX games like FEAR, the 7600GT will be a little better for Open GL stuff but generally the XT is a good bit faster as a general rule.

    Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

    From what I've seen of it it looked pretty fun, if very challenging. Your squad isn't terribly bright however. Weapons are very satasfying and you get a real feel of accomplishment when you get though a mission though. Pretty decent stuff.

    PS3 should suck

    As far as early hardware issues the Wii is pretty well spot on with more or less no problems, save for the occasional flung controller and broken TV etc. I just wouldn't get one concidering that there's no real high quality exclusive games for the beast. Twilight Princess is a winner yes, but...

    F.E.A.R Extraction Point Graphics

    completely, the rig will tear though FEAR XP and likely have little trouble if any with R6 Vegas.

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    Yeah I don't doubt a lot of the content is bases on a completely different engine but there must be a few legacy influences if some old content is compatable at all but I'm not really up with these things. All I mean by this is perhaps the whole project, dispite how long it took to make...

    PS3 should suck

    I think there is some truth to the controlers going out of sync for a second of so now and then but I think the easiest way to alleviate that is to just plug in the power/recharge cord so it's not just relying off of the bluetooth connection. It's a bit of a rip I know but I doubt it's a...

    CRT vs. LCD Monitor

    Ah true, I never thought of that.

    CRT vs. LCD Monitor

    CRT's are great and probably the best part of it for me is the resolution flexability. They can handle anything under the sun up to their top res which is often plenty high at the 19" level and there is naturally no loss in visual fidelity. LCD's are way better than they used to be and while...

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    I really can't be sure either but I'm pretty certain they could fairly easily allow mulitcore support by offloading certain tasks to other cores or allocation resources differently among the available cores for better performance. Apparently FSX was a pretty slapdash version in some regards as...

    RAM timings and CAS latency

    Despite the hype there is surrounding this topic CAS latency, in real world applications makes very little difference. Lower is better yes but don't kill yourself over it, if the price is very close yeah go lower but in apps like games you won't even notice it.

    Building A Pc!

    I think you sound definately keep the raptor, 10000 rpm is going to make a massive difference dispite the extra noise. I'd go with either of the ASUS's as they're probably one of the most trusted brands. The SLI deluxe is pretty much an industry standard though you'll definately have to pay...

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    You really should. Flight Sims aren't meant to be that demanding. It's a big improvement over 2004 as far as I can tell but there's not way it should run this poorly. I'm thinking the GTS will be just fine for anything else, I'm not sure to what extent if any Unreal Tounrmament 2007 will...

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    Unless you're dead set on maxing FlightSimX then yeah get that GTS, like people will tell you FSX is a buggy as hell and about as poorly optimized as could be imagined. Once they get around to adding DX 10 suppot its possible that they'll have worked out a few kinks and will add muliticore...

    GeForce 8800 GTS -- Worth it?

    The R600 is supposibly a better card so around early feburary we should see some results, I think it's worth waiting to be prepaired in case they turn out to be easily superior. If nothing else it will lower the prices of the 8000 range. And as far the GTX goes it's not twice as fast as the...
