Q
Chrome for linux stinks

Huh?! Chrome does not require Wine. It's a Linux executable program, and in my opinion, much faster than Firefox.

Is my CPU the bottleneck in most games?

I have a 22 inch monitor thus I game at 1680x1050. Can someone explain how we find a bottleneck? According to this post http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=179790&cid=14888326 "If you are seeing processor usage 100%, then your video card may be holding you back" I don't understand the...

Q

I've been thinking about replaceing the cpu without buying a new video card. And It seems that games like Dirt2, UT 3 are CPU hungry, because I receive the same FPS even if UT3 is at 640x480. Which CPU will be good with the video card I have? Is the AMD Phenom II 810 a bit too much? Specs...

Nvidia Geforce 6100 "enough" for Vista aero?

I assembled the computer and the end result was good. My sister was happy with the computer using Vista aero and even tho the 3D windows flip thing wasn't as fast, it's good enough for a non-gamer But in my case, I'll have to build a gaming system... but that's another story to come.

Trust me, I make my research before posting in forums. I didn't find a good enough answer in hardforums nor this one, hence this topic. I chose the M2A-VM with 2 GB, I'm going to check how it is perform with Vista! Thanks everyone!

What about the onboard Radeon x1250 From the Asus M2A-VM? It has a DVI and do you think it will run Aero well @ 1440 x 900?

I'm building a computer for my sister and she's not going to play games. The only stuff she'll do on the computer is school work, browsing, MSN, youtube, a little of video editing... you get the idea. So I wonder if a geforce 6100 (no DVI) will be enough to handle Vista aero in a 19inch...

It's Flat-fee! which means that if the work was completed in 4 hours, the technician will only charge $30, not more.
