    car pc

    Ok, well how would you wire this into your stereo? I would definitely want to keep my current head unit so how would I take the audio out form a computer and make it play on the car sereo? Maybe one of those little radio transmitters would work, but you then lose sound quality. Any ideas?

    Free Boxes!

    Sweet, I got 35 flat rate boxes. $8.10 shipping to any state at any weight sounds like an Ebay bargain.

    3800+ temps a bit worrying

    You can lower your clock speed, in fact it is pretty easy, but you don't need to. You have an issue and lowering the FSB won't fix it, it will just cover it up. Airflow is most likely your issue, as the stock HSF will work fine in GOOD ventaltion. I would suggest checking case fans and...

    Will another 1gb of RAM make a difference

    Ok, when you have 2 GB of RAM you A) do not need a PF anywhere near 2GB and B) you don't need it at all. I know this as a fact because I run with a 256 MB page file. I only do that because at some times in BF2 it goes over 2 GB and the game crashes out. But, unless you get another GB of RAM...

    Initial setup problems.

    Well form the sound of that the problem may very well be that extra drive. I might run CheckDisk or something to see if it finds anything.I also might try doing a RAID 0 OR RAID 1 to see if that is the problem.

    Serious cooling solution

    It's just phase change cooling. Basically the same thing as air conditioning or refridgerators. It is a relatively common, yet extremely expensive, cooling solution. You can get the same thing pre-made but it is far more expensive than a home built.

    Computer Start-up Problems, Too much for my psu?

    I would say 350-400 watts on a GOOD QUALITY PSU, good quality being the key words. Antec, Tagan, Fortron, FSP, Sparkle, Hiper, and Enermax are all good brands. The Antec Treupower series is really good so I would probably recommend it.

    Computer Start-up Problems, Too much for my psu?

    Well, without the info B asked for I would have to think PSU. The adding of a larger, more power-consuming, HDD making it stop sounds like PSU.

    Will another 1gb of RAM make a difference

    The page file is a file on a hard drive that behaves as RAM. It is a great solution for the computer because it allows the system to run on very little physical RAM. For example, many parts of the OS load into the page file. The drawback to the page file is that by the physical nature of the...

    Initial setup problems.

    There is likely no physical hard drive issue. I would try the BIOS update. You are saying that the computer locks up while building the RAID right?

    Will another 1gb of RAM make a difference

    This was a fairly simple question, but somehow it got off topic. In this case, yes, it will make a difference. You can run more background apps, games and productivity apps will load MUCH faster, and many times you can disable the page file, which will lead to a considerable speed increase.

    Budget Gamer

    Oh, I don't know it has been a really long time since I have diagnosed computer problems on here. Hmm, I would have to guess motherboard. Well, you generally remove all the components except the memory, mobo, and CPU and put parts in until you find the issue.

    The Perpetual Upgrade Thread

    No SCSI 15K RPM drives? Haha, 900 GB of those would cost a fortune. It would be fun, though. Well, I want to upgrade, as always, but my current rig runs BF2 maxed out except AA is at 4X instead of 6X. Since BF2 is all I play I have absolutely no reason to upgrade. I think I will get a new rig...

    ATI vs Nvidia

    Crossfire does not run as well as SLI, it is buggy. Also, the X1900XTX beats the 7950 in quite a few tests. But, considerthat you probably won't get a $400+card, you want to know about the midrange. Well, the X850 series probably wins the midrange value right now.

    Help with compatability.

    If you're planning on overclocking then you want fast RAM. The Pro stuff is overpriced though. Unless you just really, really want the LEDs then get cheaper RAM.

    Water Cooling

    Sure, DangerDen used to have a waterblock called the RDX but it isn't on their website anymore. It beats the TDX to pieces. If you found it elsewhere on the web you could get it.

    opinions on my new computer please :)

    I don't know, 3+ GHz wouldn't suprise me at all, I hear the 65nm architecture has TONS of head room. It will be interesting to see what they do.

    Help with compatability.

    Well, "Conroe Capable" motherboards are a tad on the expensive side these days. You have to get a certain chipset which allows the motherboard companies to jack up the price. If you don't care about SLI or Crossfire then you would be best with the 975x chipset. The lowest price for a 975x...
