Barskoman,
Look at the "sticky threads" at the top of the "Ask a Tech" forum ![]() The search facility is great on here and would stop you starting threads on subjects that already exist ![]() Rob

Hmm, which computer do I have...I'll list a couple of them (All built by me, I haven't bought a built computer since my eMachines with a 1.7GHz Celeron)
Main Intel C2D E6600 @ 3.6GHz on water, 2GB ram, , EVGA 680i T1, 8800GTS, 2x250GB in Raid0 and a 500 for storage Main Backup, dedicated folder AMD Athlon X2 5600 on a Asus M3A, 2gb ram, X1800 video card, 250gb sata drive New Backup (built last week) AMD Athlon X2 5000 Black Edition on a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI, 2gb ram, MSI NX6800 256mb version Video card, 40gb ata hard drive ![]() Old Backup (died 2 weeks ago) AMD Athlon 3800+ on some Asus MicroATX board, 1gb ram, onboard video, currently a crashed hard drive, onboard video Thinkpad T40 laptop 1.5GHz 1.5GB Ram Radeon 7500 and a 120GB Hard drive Those are my current computers, I use them all regularly except for the 3800, which as mentioned has a busted drive....I have a basement full of parts I could use to build more, but I don't need them right now. A word on CPU's. I use both Intel and AMD for gaming, both perform excellent. Price for performance AMD all the way. The Athlon 5600x2 performs on par with about a Core 2 Duo E6550 or E6600, and costs less than half as much. Core 2's do however fold better, and have better clock-for-clock performance as well as very high overclockability. Clock-for-clock means little in the world of gaming though, they both perform the same in game. AMD tends to load a little quicker too. Memory: I only use Corsair or Crucial. Video: Either, both are solid performers Hard drives: Seagate or Western Digital. I have had bad experiences with Maxtor. Not that they are bad drives or anything, I just prefer WD. Motherboards: ASUS, Gigabyte, or EVGA. Never had one die. Never buy a 'budget' Foxconn! I've owned 3 '39 dollar special' foxconns, all have imploded within a year. Ok, I kinda went off topic but yeah, s'all good? ![]()
