///M5

I went to three proms my senior year x2 I went to 0. . Actually I'm not really that sad about it, I didn't and still don't like dances. Who said anything about a dance or dancing, that isn't what I called prom.

goes to Newegg for the 10th time today...oh wait I still have a window open, but it is to boring pci-rs232 cards. I need a few ports which are like $15 and am sitting here trying to decide if I should just upgrade my pc while I am at it.

i7 + what M.board?

Look at your box and description and read the thread John pointed you to. It should not only answer your question but make you feel like that part of your question was easy to answer. As for the "upgrade" that all depends on your goals. Personally it would do nothing for me, but for you it will probably be much different.

too many beers...........can't edit a sentence

Gee, thanks for the invite. Prick. ST P hotel. Feel free. Twould be an akward time to say hello. Just bring exorbatant gifts and all will be great. We're having fillet I believe. =) I'll bring the baby. Nice place and choice though. Don't forget brunch buffet, the last time I had theirs it was nice. Considering it's been 10 years perhaps a peak since it's been 10 years since I've eaten there.

I wouldn't seal midbass drivers unless you have a lot of room. Vent them into your fenders ftmfw. If you have midbass you don't need components, but instead a midrange and tweeter.

I am not counting in 20's, but 100's. Thresholds are meant to be logical but stretched.

Gee, thanks for the invite. Prick.

Definitely okay, work experience shows you will show up as for the required job application experience that will be up to your interview. The very best way to get any job is to already have a job. Same rules apply to women. When you start dating a chika, they will crawl out of the woodwork for you. wait until you get married, at that instant I could have anyone in the room

Pay for OS? Anyone know how many pc's you can put XP on and still have it be "verified"? Retail you can do as many as you want. OEM 1 computer. It creates a file lists all hardware and applies a point checklist, if you replace more parts than the thresh hold of that checklist, you will need to call MS and say that it's still you still one computer and to fix ya shizle. I have the OEM version that came with my dell laptop on 3 pc's right now :eek:

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/ For longevity/upgradeable I'd go with Intels i7 platform, AMD hasn't really caught up yet. I believe Mark recently built an i7 platform also. And you computer is not that old, I'm still running on a socket A platform. In my reviews of things Tom's seems to be biased and for the wrong reasons, but again old info here. AMD has had its ass handed to it ever since Intel released their Core series of CPU's a few years back. If you want the end all be all fastest, the current Intel Core i7 is it... I don't need the end all, but have a tendency to go overboard.

Holy shit, mr 8mil posts posting in da hop. Hey Mark!

Ours left with the rain early this am, now it's boating weather.

I just need a proc, m-board, ram & video card. No real price point as I could spend whatever, but as with all PC stuff there is a logical threshold. Normally I buy the generation that just got knocked out by the latest so that you don't take the depreciation hit when a new chip comes out. I'd like to pick a socket that will stick around for a while if that is possible since last time I bought a 754 which allows no growth. A bonus would be to have an AGP and some PCI slots on the M-board, but I am willing to forego my current add-on cards if it makes more sense. In bold is his usual credo. PM you in a moment. Got the PM, thank you. I'll call him tomorrow as I have three more mini-conferences and then off for some Sushi

<--wouldn't mind the help

The OC forums and such recommend AMD only for gaming applications on a budget, but multi-threading on Intel. Obviously for future proof which is more important than right now Intel wins it seems. I am curious what Sean thinks is the bang for the buck options. As for building that is rather easy so not a concern, choosing the equipment is the hard part.

I wouldn't call that greedy either.

That's awesome for your mom. I'm not so brilliant really, I just test well and have the ability to suss out what questions really are asking, not what the appear to be asking. HS is way different from college though, so It will probably happen this year or next. My wife is out searching for jobs that will pay her for the degree she has which should put her in the 45K+ per year realm. If that happens I might drop my hours and go to school full time or perhaps more than full time. I don't want to be greedy, but this 30-40K a year isn't working for me. I do great and the wife could quit working if I make 65-75, and we would be set for retirement too. I'm just so tired on hating my work Don't sell yourself short. Really. The rest of the world is dumber than the credit you are giving them and you have more than one step up. Way more.

That is significantly more recent than I. I think I built my pc in 2003, but maybe 2002. Amusingly it is still faster than most of my friends, but only because I don't have a bunch of shit on it.
