im sure it's been asked before but where is the current sweet spot in cpus'...

Tbirds themselves do not require DDR RAM. Depends on the motherboard you go with. From what I've heard, DDR should give you some where around a 10% performance increase. As far as mobos and chipsets, via's kt133a is good, but some people experience glitches and conflicts, especially when...

Is the floppy dead?

Well, I know floppies are still used quite a bit (in my experience) with less computer savy people who need to transfer a file at a time. I know my wife still used them to take papers and presentations to school, just because it's a pain to get the files there via internet (poorly connected...

Best mousepad for gaming?

Personally, I enjoy the Everglide mouse pads. That's what I use with my Intellimouse Explorer.

Poll: Dreamcast is better than ps2

I think the PS2 has a lot of yet untapped power. It's game library is still relatively small. But in terms of HW, I think the PS2 is better.

Problems problems

I would agree. If the restart button is doing it as well, then it sounds like a mobo problem. RMA it.

How do i get rid of my FAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

IDE cable questions
