THANK YOU HARRACK! I love those lengthy posts! As most of you have probably realized, I am a very impatient person when it comes to obtaining information and/or knowledge. This in combination with a sketchy deadline has been the reason for my consistant abundance of questioning. Thank you for...

Pretend you just won a $10,000 dollar shopping spree. The only conditions are that you can only build one PC, and you can't spend the money on anything else. No cars, no new clothes, just the best gaming PC you can imagine... The hardware or system specs must be already existing. No...

"The RAM could also be a problem if it's been accidentally branded at a higher speed than it's rated for." --- Big B What does that mean? If you buy a PC3200 stick for example, and its actually only PC2700? Can you have "too" much power? I'm not talking about a power surge. I mean, can...

"Well looks like I got caught napping (not that, thats anything out of the ordinary). I see over at xbit labs that Western Digital is going to launch a 10,000rpm SATA drive on Feb. 11, 2003. Remember, thats the day after AMD launches the Barton, which im sure we are all looking forward to. "...

Whatever you do, don't have Windows XP and Windows 98 on the same hard drive. Partitioned or not, it will mess things up. Window 98 wasn't designed to work with Windows XP. I had a partitioned 60GB hard drive, 30GB for Windows 98, and 30GB for Windows XP. After the first couple months, I started...

Then all motherboards with the nForce 2 chipset have exactly the same speed and performance? The only difference is the features such as the sound card. Compatibility is the same no matter what? What about overclocking? Would you recommend I do that? Would it enable me to fully use the PC3500...

Thank you guys for your recent posts. Unfortunately I have no idea what to do with them. Your recommendations are great, I just need to know more about your recommendations. Why do you recommend that particular board? Whats special about it? What can it handle compared to its competitors. Did...

Big B, I'm assuming you would stay with the XMS3500 and just overclock the motherboard then? Would overclocking the motherboard allow it to "natively run at that speed"? I'm curious why you suggested that motherboard. Until I have a thorough response to my previous post, the link you sent me...

I clearly need to be educated more about motherboards. How exactly do you tell whether or not a certain motherboard can handle your CPU? How do you tell exactly how fast ram it can use? What about 3500 speed ram has anything to do with bus speed? ...etc: "CPU Supports AMD-K7...

I didn't see any suggestions =P What would you guys do? I told you the four things I want for my motherboard: 1) nForce 2 chipset 2) SoundStorm sound card 3) Athlon AMD 2800+ 4) Two Corsair XMS3500 512RAM chips Is there a single motherboard out there that can use the Athlon AMD 2800+...

While I am waiting for some responses regarding the motherboard, I figured I'd give you guys the name of and a link to the Case I'll be getting for my new PC. You guys helped me choose the hardware, so go ahead and check this out so you know what its going to look like from the outside. Here...

Okay, everyone! I've almost got everything set and ready to be purchased. I am just stuck on one thing. The motherboard. I went to the computer sales person today, he said he couldn't find any motherboards with the nForce 2 chipset, the Soundstorm sound card, the AMD athlon 2800+ capability, and...

After going to the link you provided, and reading the reviews, it sounds as though the Audigy 2 is better for performance gaming. I didn't read it with any depth, I just skimmed the text. I think the only negative thing about the Audigy 2 Platinum is that it had poorer recording or encoding...

Its not the Ti4200. Its the GeForce 4 Ti4600. The Ti4200 is only 64MB, a much slower overall video card. Its old in comparison. The Ti4600 was released around the same time as the Radeon 9700 Pro --or at least thats the assumption based on the many reviews I've seen where they compare the Ti4600...

I don't have any new questions right now. There are a lot of questions on my previous posts that were not answered. I'll just post them again in hope of more responses. Question 1: I will definately drop Windows 98 from my plans. Would anyone recommend having two hard drives if I'm only...

I will definately drop Windows 98 from my plans. Would anyone recommend having two hard drives if I'm only going to use one Operating System? Any advantages to having two seperate hard drives? I will definately get the best motherboard I can find with the nForce2 chipset. Much thanks to Big...

Wow a lot of responses. Thank you! Questions & Notes: - Doesn't Bluetooth use a Wireless Transceiver which provides the power so your mouse & keyboard don't need their own batteries? - My current Speakers are Altec Lansings. It is a two speaker and one large sub set. They sound...

I just recently lost my computer due to everheating. It only lasted me 3 years. I spent between 3-4 thousand dollars on it. I made the mistake of purchasing it from Circuit City. It was an HP... Here are some system specs on my recently lost HP computer: - 1Ghz Athlon AMD processor - 40GB...
