What is everyones idea of the best gaming cpu/cpu in general? Im thinking about buying another/parting together another, and what would u guys do? I'd like to keep it up 2500, if i can under 2000, but 2500 is max.... I want this thing to be basically the top of the line cpu lol. What would you guys do?

hey has anyone have the av500 i was playing with it yesterday and is was a very sweet pvp/dvr. i wanted to know if anyone knows where i can get the 100gb version at a good price.

Anyone? I need a song from this album.

I'm in the market for a webcam. Was thinking about http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_c...80&cl=us,en Any input?

Y! messenger is giving me a headache today... seems like any pm i receive signs me out. i have to receive 2 or 3 pms from the same person (and get signed out every time i receive one) untill i can talk to that person. not to mention i can't change my status and i go online and offline without doing anything... do you have any idea what could cause this ? (except a nasty virus)

Lol, im not sure if you guys know about this or not but letmegooglethatforyou.com is a site where you can go and search something like google and it will give you a link and google something for you to show someone is stupid for not just googleing it. Hard to explain lol but heres an example - link

Anyone have any recommendations on software to turn a VHS video feed into a computer to rip a DVD? I need the software, hardware and it would be a bonus if it would work as a tv tuner as well. I have looked at Newegg and the like, but there are a lot of strange options and I thought someone might have done it already.

Any GMC / Chevy owners have experience debugging their PAC OS2? My head unit is getting no power. Also it's just my luck that my volt reader isn't working tonight either, so I'll have to grab a new one tomorrow. I've checked all all cables none are lose.

have any of you guys used one before? I ask because a co worker is looking at one of their laptops and I have never used them before

Dang, wild hair again. I have a 60wx2 chn Adcom amplifier sitting in my closet and think I found a use for it. I am looking at building these near field monitors to be used as cpu speakers. I will probably add a plate amp and an rli8 or something that boxes even smaller to go with them. Should I do it? http://www.zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker20a.html http://www.zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker20b.html I like these for the size, simplicity, and the fact that the crossover is optimized for near field listening. I pulled out an old (real old) Kenwood car audio dual amp balancer that I am stripping apart to use as a volume knob. Just use a potentiometer from the shack and bang,…

On my network connections page (on pc) its only showing local area connection and not wireless connection. I tried to install the driver over and over, but obviously that was not the answer because still nothing . I dont know much about pc's but the basics but Im thinking it is a network adapter that i need but I have no clue how to get this or what it is. Any insite or info on this is def. welcome. Thx.

I have tried Bearshare, Shareaza, and Limewire and am having the same problem. Every couple of minutes these P2Ps are starting themselves up. I've gone to options...advanced options, every logical possibility has been eliminated. I have ran spybot and I am coming up with nothing. Has anyone else experienced any of this stuff?

New system. Basically just a fileserver. I'm running into a problem that has me beat. With no app's running windows will flash a BSoD then auto-reboot. Mind You, this is with no app's running, just the standard 30 something processes (ugh). No particular time interval or anything. There is plenty of airflow, not much heat anyhow.

I found it ironic, as my ink warning just popped up a few days ago, then I found this. anyhow: I trust that You guys know that I would not spam You guys. So, I ask that: If You need $30 worth of printer ink asap, or are simply running low and should reorder soon, then I ask that You do it through the InkBlvd deal through my referral link (again: http://xbox360s.freepay.com/?r=22740106 ). Yep, i signed up for a free Xbox from one of the few Proven FreePayStuff programs. Figured, it can't hurt. I need 8 folks to go in by my referral. http://xbox360s.freepay.com/?r=22740106 Thanks gents!

I'm in the initial phase of putting together a private network server - looking to have it up my Feb 1. I'm not worried about the hardware... Software and protocol? I need some help, please. I've a pair of 70Gb 10krpm drives. I dont wanna setup my hdd's as a raid array for stability concerns. That being said, one drive will be personal & program storage, one to be net storage. Outside of a super firewall and a gigabit ethernet... what do i need? What can I run, Windows based, to make one of my drives internet accessible? Can someone point me to some good sites? Thanks for helping me get started... B) -Nick

I search on PirateBay, seems like a good site. Find the torrent. Got a bunch of seeds, got a couple leechers or whatever they're called. Click on it, Azureus opens up. Save it to the desktop or whatever folder I want the file(s) in. Minute or two later the thing starts downloading. Downloading slowly. I had one file go at 150kb/s for a minute or two, then went down to 80kb/s or so. If I were to take an average of all speeds I've seen since I started using this I'd imagine that it would be around 30kb/s. Sometimes around 45kb/s, sometimes around 17kb/s, sometimes around 12kb/s. No other internet programs running, only downloading one file at a time. The only fast down…

Saw this on another forum and thought it was a great idea. Reel Big Fish- Why Do They Rock so Hard Great ska rock CD. If you like the upbeat ska with a hint of Blink 182 perversion definatly check this CD out. Best song- The kids dont like it, song #3, somebody hates me, I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend. Other RBF albums- Turn off the Radio, We're Not Happy, Everything Sucks Over all 4/5 The Ataris-Blue skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits Great Emo music that is a must listen for any girl problem. Not ashamed to say that this CD is a great break up Album. Best song-Last Song I Will Ever Write About A Girl Other Ataris' albums-Anywhere But Here, So Long, Astor…

There is this new phone that's about to come out called the Samsung Instinct that has a page full of features on it. The phone itself made me start thinking if this was the best phone feature-wise so i started to do some research... I was wrong. There are other phones out there that are better but i gotta have it on the Sprint \ Nextel network. I was looking at the Nokia N95, and while that phone is AWESOME, it doesnt work for my network. I would use ATT but for the price, i get everything i want that ATT offers for $45 less a month through Sprint since ATT overcharges their plans like crazy. So... i found these Pocket PCs. I am more into computers anyway and these ba…
