How does Core2Duo CPU performance change based on Multiplier x Memory speed?

Check out the bottom of this guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/fo...lock-quads-duals-guide He's got some links to some quick studies about how higher FSB and memory bandwidth don't make much of a real world difference. Summarized: What is a better overclock? Good question. I...

Rear Trailing Arm Bushings Broken; Feathered Tires, dangerous?

My rear left tire was making a wobbling noise (1997 Honda Civic DX Hatchback). The local dealer's service department says the rear trailing arm bushings are broken. The rear tires are also feathered and need alignment. I understand this is a common problem on Civics. The car has had about 700...

X800 and Shader Model 3.0

Yea I guess they went all out with the skin shaders for Double Agent. Am I even going to want DX10 support right away? Won't most games support 9 and 10 for a while? I don't have the box...

X800 and Shader Model 3.0

I want to play the new Splinter Cell game, but it uses Shader Model 3.0, which my ATI X800 doesn't support. How does SM work? Why can't I just 'update' my video card? I don't really want to buy a $200 X1900 that won't support DX10, and I don't want to spend $400 on an nVidia 8800 either (which...

Firefox reset

Firefox seems to have reset on me. It's now as if I just installed it. All my bookmarks and settings are gone. I noticed it after my computer got nudged and the power was cut off via the power supply switch in back while I was working on the computer. Not sure if that's what caused the problem...

Best Mod Engine

Unreal 2k4 uses an exporting system (the map calls the actors in the map). It's a hassle to import/export all of the changes to a map when multiple people are working on a mod project. Am I wrong? If I want to make a good multiplayer mod, should I go with UT, FEAR, Quake 4, or another...

Home Depot for graphite spray? What about removing the cylinder to take it to a locksmith? Do I need an extractor pick for that?

Jammed ignition

97 Honda Civic ignition won't turn without a good 2 minutes of jimmying. Had been working fine. Just started acting up. Might be the key. Key works to unlock doors. Got a new key made. New key has same problem but also won't unlock driver side door. Ideas? Thanks.
