Dell 2209WA For Sale Again on USA site

I am thinking of getting this monitor. I would like a 24 but this panel gets such good reviews it's hard to pass up. I would say I game a lot on my pc, watch some movies, internet, and office apps. Any one have this that has no problems with gaming? Later JimC

New build PII955- 720 or I7 920

That's what I though too. Don't get me wrong I'm a bit of an AMD fan. I have built a ton of systems with great success on the AMD platform. I just don't think for $50 less the i7 is a bad way to go. So now... What MB and Mem would you all pick? I'm looking at the Asrock that was just...

New build PII955- 720 or I7 920

Greetings all, I am putting together a new build. For use, I game, and a lot of times I play a mmorpg, with another instance running on VMware WS 6.5. What do you think would be better? All I need is Mem, MB, Proc. I have everything else. Thanks JimC

AMD Phenom X3 710 --> X4

I got to 3.4 easy with a 17x200. Running OCCT now temps are at 50 - 53 on stock volt, and stock cooler. I want more though. What cooler would you all recommend ? Price about $50, I have a 120 mm fan from my si120. Later JimC

AMD Phenom X3 710 --> X4

Well bad news on all fronts. PC won't post with ACC on Auto, or All cores. The SI120 bracket is not the same as the bracket on the MB and I would have to drill holes to make it fit, so that is out too. Guess I'll just make it the fastest tri core I can. Later JimC

AMD Phenom II X3 -> X4 users, Unite!

Tech site reviews and problems reported on forums. I really don't consider the egg reviews that much I built a cheap pc for my mother with an MSI board and it was a PITA. I see you have the Biostar board, do you like it? Any problems or concerns? I like my DFI board. Good quality, never had...

AMD Phenom II X3 -> X4 users, Unite!

Ok so I'm going to take the plunge. I'm going to get the x3 720, 4g of gskill ram. I have a 4870 1g card so on board video not important. Which of the newegg (or other site) combo deals do you think would give me the best OC? I seriously considered the Foxconn until I read a few reviews, to...

AMD Phenom II X3 -> X4 users, Unite!

I need more ram at least. I'm trying to run VMW Workstation and 2 gigs just won't cut what I'm trying to do. What do you think the opty, MB and ram are worth $100 or so? Later JimC

I don't know. I'm sure I would have to back down the timings, which may interfere with my fsb OC that is setting the proc at 2.6. Our setups are damn near identical. Later JimC
