    Hafnium Anyone?

    Well, it turns out that my Computer Applications class is good for something. I had to look at articles on CNN tech and this is what I found: Intel, IBM unveil new chip technology I don't know if any of you have heard about this but it talks about using hafnium instead of silicon in...

    Help on PSU's

    You should be able to get a suitable mATX PSU but if I were you I would go ahead and upgrade to an ATX case (or at least an mATX that can hold an ATX PSU).

    The specs of the PSU (amperages) can be found on a sticker on the side of said PSU.

    Help!!! PC Tower wont turn on.

    Just plug the PSU into another computer. If it doesn't work then your PSU is fried (bad) and if it does work then your components are fried (really bad).

    I used a jigsaw for my window mod. It works fine if you use one of those window kits with the rubber gasket.

    need opinions on how much to ask for...

    I would say $800 but I've been out of the loop for a while. You could look on Newegg.com for some similar systems. The only thing is that if you put Vista on it you will probably be able to get a considerable amount more.

    discreet windows countdown timer

    You can get widgets that will do that. I think Konfabulator would be a good place to look.

    Good Gaming Mouse.

    Hmmm, I had a conversation about this at dinner. I have a MX518 and it is great, but I see absolutely no need to ever go above 800 DPI. That is where I run for games and turn it down to 400 for photo editing. The weight and comfort of the mouse are far, far more important than having a DPI level...

    Spray Paint

    Yea, also, many types of paint recommend you NOT let the paint dry so long between coats because it prevents the new coats from sticking as well. But yea if I did it I would use automotive paint and do this: 1. Sand off paint with low grit paper 2. re-sand with high grit paper 3. Prime 4...

    Quick Question

    Yes, intheory, but you also have to remember the cores, cache sizes, and other various technologies.For example, overclocking a 3000+ Venice to the same speed as a 3700+ San Diego is not equal. The San Diego core and the larger L2 cache will keep the 3700+ faster. Beyond that benchmarking would...

    Website Review

    Well, you could use a better navigation structure in the sidebar. I would recommend a more condensed set of links. Also, I would me the tell a friend link much, much more prominent. This is probably your most valuable advertising asset, so make it obvious.

    -50C Running Temp

    It is the Prometia 2 Phase Change. It is the exact same system that goes into a refridgerator or air conditioner. Unfortunately, they are mighty expensive.

    Socket Types

    The main thing about AM2 is that it allows DDR2. At this point, this does not allow for a very considerable speed gain but when lower latencies become available you will be able to see some serious gains. Also, physically, the AM2 has 940 pins while the 939 has, you guessed it, 939.
