    Mixed Drinks

    My heart stopped for a moment !!! Benedictine + high quality vodka = Belvedere, Chopin, Grey Goose, to name a few, but stricly forbidden are, but not limited to, Smirnoff, Troika and the like. I would go for 75% vodka 25% Benedictine but anything can be done I suppose. Both have 40% alcohol :D...

    can i build a pc for $600

    The only real problem that I have (well I have one more) with your setup max is the motherboard. It has onboard video, which is utterly useless for gaming, and although I understand it won't be used, it still is a performance hog, even when disabled, not to mention you gotta' pay for it. The...

    new motherboard needs explaining

    For the cpu. It all depends on how you'll use it. Will you be the kind to rip/burn dvds frequently while playing games for instance ? If your answer is yes, then you need an X2. AMD had a huge price drops not too long ago so they're very affordable, which one you get all depends on the money...

    Recommended Quality Graphics Card for Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe)

    I'm sorry guys but I can't keep out of this one. I for myself have never own a recent nvidia card, so let me talk about ATI for a sec. I've had a 9600 Pro, 9800 non-pro, a 9800 Pro and currently own an x800gto 256mb, which, for as little as $120 cad (that's canadian money), can run Oblivion in...

    No1 game that actually GIVES you nausea

    When I started playing it, Oblivion was giving me the exact same problem. But for some reason, it suddenly stoppped and never came back since. Adjusting the field of view can definitely help with this as the possibility to adjust it is more a trick than a real change in perspective, since...

    Video Games: the Next Olympic Sport?

    I can honestly say, and without any restrain, that I disagree. But since poker players consider themselves professional athletes, I guess I can't be too surprised. Sup B :hi:

    Gran Turismo 4

    I got the game a couple weeks ago and I think it's great. It's far more challenging than the previous games. The addition of new tough tracks like Suzuka and Nurburgring make it very replayable because you will need a lot of practice to master them. The new physics make it easier to...

    SATA drive not recognised

    You need drivers for your hdd to be recognized. These drivers came on a floppy disk with your motherboard. If you don't have the floppy, you can get the drivers here

    New system - no display

    Alright I received a new ABIT NF8, from a local store. I plugged the power switch, the speaker, both ATX connectors, pressed the switch: the fan starts to spin and stops right away. There's no way two boards from 2 different places have the exact same problem... So I unplugged the...

    Dual-channel is the better value?

    Yes, I think they're cheaper to produce. Not because they're smaller, but because they produce more, according to the demand. I think it's fair to say that smaller dimms are more common, therefore they cost less to produce, and they can be priced lower. Their margin of profit might just be...
