Thanks for the help. One last question. If, just say I make 3 100gbish partitions. How do I choose where something is installed when installing it, like, which partition? And can you access files from all the different partitions at all times, like is it just like a separate "Local Disk" in my...

Ok, so I've spent ages researching to finally build my computer. It's running now, all fans seem good, CPU keeping a fairly solid temperature, hard drive and opticals seem to be working, all that. But in all my research I completely forgot to learn anything about setting up a harddrive. It's my...

Hi. After months of reading, researching and working overtime, I’m finally going to build my first PC! However, though I have gained a basic knowledge, I’m still far from an expert, so I’ll definitely need some help in the process. I think what I’ve picked out so far is good, but some double...

Big B-What about the P5N-E SLI 650i...Is that a solid board too?

Hi, I'm ordering my new computer in a week or two (I'm going to need a lot of help with the more minute details, but I'm going to make a huge thread in the General Hardware forum this week for those), and I'm having some last minute doubts about my monitor:doh: . I had originally planned to buy...

Hmmmmm. I guess it can't be too bad, except that I don't have much experience with computers. I should be able to figure it out, but there's going to be lots of screws and grommets and all that and I don't want to forget something. Mostly though, I'm just worried about cabling. As I've never...

Hi, I've recently been considering the Antec P180b as a possibility for a chassis for my first ever computer build. However, various places say that it's a bit complicated, even for someone who's built computers before. And they've also said that the manual isn't very in depth, so it might be...

Hi, I seem to have misplaced a link, I'm not sure how. This link outlined the various graphics card specs with a full explanation of what the spec meant, what amount of the spec in question was required to be good, and how important it was. Hmmm, that probably wasn't clear, but basically (I...

Hi, I'm coming ever closer to finally buying my PC, and I had been set on a CRT monitor for a long time. However, I'm finding it difficult (in fact near impossible) to find a high res, 19 inch CRT monitor, as most places simply don't carry them. And when I do find them, they are more expensive...

Most times minimum will work OK. I've been below (in fact, WELL below) minimum requirements before, and I was still able to atleast run it. And in most occurances, I was able to get a pretty decent 25ish frame-rate on low settings. The only time this didn't work was Oblivion - I could get a...

Yea, it requires SM 3.0 too. And no, there's no reason for it. Ubisoft's just being Ubisoft again (first we get Starforce, then GRAW, now ridiculous system requirements).:dry:

Essentially there's two different parts of the Rainbow 6 franchise: tactical and arcade. Rainbow 6, Rogue Spear and Ravenshield (and their respective expansions) are all tactical based shooters. Lockdown and Vegas are arcade shooters. First: Lockdown blows; don't play it. Second, if you...

It's generally thought (though there really hasn't been official word) from most reputable hardware sites, that an educated guess says second week of February for launch. And no, we don't know anything. We really didn't know anything until dailytech told us what we wanted to hear leading up to...

I had originally been looking at the P5B, but I wasn't really sure. Yesterday I read an extremely good review of the MSI p965 Platinum on tomshardware, but how does the Neo-F compare to that for about 40 bucks cheaper? Is it basically the same with scaled back features, or is it just a lower...

Hi, I'm looking to scale down my budget for my new C2d build, and I was wondering what the best price/performance board was. I guess I'm looking at the price range around 150$ Canadian, give or take. I probably only need limited overclockability, SLI unnecessary if it's going to be bringing the...

I had at pne point looked at PC Power and Cooling, until I saw the price tag...Just a bit too steep. I'll definately take a look at these Seasonic ones...Do they have the same reliability and power as the ones I had listed? Obviously reliability is the major concern here, but I do also...

Hi, I'm planning a new build, and I've heard some mixed, but mostly good reviews of the OCZ GameXstream 600W and 700W power supplies. I've been pondering getting one (though I'm not a fan of the glowing :\), but I'm not sure which to get, or to get any at all. Here's my planned rig for...

Have any links to a comparison between E6400, E6300 and E6600? I'm found directcanada.com, and have found the prices much more reasonable. I managed to save, I think, about 300 dollars by making a prospective build there... Also, I hear OCZ has some problems with my kind of configurations...

I know you guys get this type of post alot (3 right at the top of this forum), but I need someone to just help me go over what's best. My point with this topic is to: A) Make sure I have the best components, from a price/performance/quality standpoint, as well as make sure everything's...
