Pure Pwnage

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 1.86 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6300
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 1.86 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6300

Pros: Same thing with what other kids have been saying: Insane overclockability.

Cons: There's no competition?

Overall Review: Easily overclocked to 3.01ghz, with a mere +0.1 FSB voltage. The vCore is left alone at 1.32500V. Hook it up with a Scythe Inf + Silverstone 120mm. About 28C idle, 30's load.

Does not work with ps3!!!

Acer 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI X223Wbd
Acer 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI X223Wbd

Pros: Was able to sell it to a friend

Cons: I hooked it up to my PS3 with a HDMI-DVI converter but no picture. Holding down the ps3 power button to reset the display settings didn't help. I was really hoping I could play ps3 on this thing...

Overall Review: Using the same setup, I swapped the monitor with my Acer AL2216wbd and that one displayed a picture. I'll be using that until I get my new Dell S2309w.

ASUS Radeon X1900XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAX1900XT/HTVDP/256M
ASUS Radeon X1900XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAX1900XT/HTVDP/256M

Pros: Good card, very powerful. 1024x768 res, max settings on every game (CSS, Medieval Total War 2, Oblivion, CoD, etc.), still plays 100+ fps, sometimes 200.

Cons: Too many dumb people claiming they have "High Understanding" but don't know what 2D/3D clocks are.

Overall Review: Definitely what the previous guy said. There are 2D clocks to oh I don't know, save energy? Since everybody was complaining it was a power hungry card. And then there are 3D clocks so you can play your games at max settings with 100 fps. If it's such a big deal, either flash your bios or use Atitool to force 3D clocks only. Next, the memory speed is DDR. The first word DDR stands for is DOUBLE. In math, that means multiply by 2. Take 725, multiply by 2, and you get 1450 mhz, the advertised speed. It's like magic eh? You kids should change your technical understanding back to Low, or None if there would ever be such an option.

Best Drive Evar kk thx

NEC Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache IDE/ATAPI DVD Burner

Pros: Cheap, 30 bucks, burns CDs DVDs DVD DLs. What else could you need? Well, besides blu ray and hd I guess.

Cons: Out of stock 24/7. Some people might tink it's a lil loud. Out of stock 24/7. No software, but why teh hell would you need one? Go out and get Nero or Roxio. They are way better than any manufacturer software cd could do. As for cables... your motherboard should come with an IDE cable(s), and your case should come with plenty of screws. If not, go buy one for liek 3 bucks...

Overall Review: But really, you shouldn't be using your DVD drive that much anyways. Use alcohol 120 to make virtual drives and make virtual images of your discs (games, movies, wutever). I remember back in teh day when a Plextor 48X CD-RW burner drive used to cost 200 bucks. Things have really changed...

Teh best dvd drive

NEC Beige 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache IDE DVD Burner

Pros: Thirty bucks, does everything I want (except blu ray)

Cons: Yer readin this and not pressing the BUY NOW button!!

Overall Review: This drive is IDE. DO NOT HOOK UP ANOTHER DRIVE TO YOUR IDE CABLE. If you do, burn speed will be insanely slow (1x - 2x). This is because with two drives on a single IDE cable, they have to share the bandwidth. And it's better to have all your bandwidth toward a single drive. (This is why those comp noobs complain about 2x speed on a 48x drive)

Uber pro processor

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6700
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6700

Pros: Very nice processor. oc 4tw? 50% oc(2.66 ghz to 4 ghz) stable!! I would prob be able to go further if I had better cooling :\

Cons: You're readin this and you haven't bought one yet.

Overall Review: As for teh noob that said his Pent D 2.8 ghz was as fast as this proc... the only reason he tinks it's the same speed is cuz he keeps his at stock speed... a measly 2.66 ghz. I have mine 1.5x as fast as that :D
