  1. Yes, let's all spend 1.3 grand on a processor! \ AMD is coming out with tri and quad cores too. ... The Current processors of both AMD and Intel are much better at preventing the chip "burning up" than previous processors and however if the can on the heat sink fails an AMD is more likely to switch off, most likely due to them generally running at higher temperatures, however its unlikely that either will damage the processor or motherboard. The Intel core2quad Q6600 is only around $300/ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã150 As for the Phenom you linked to, it's very late to the market, at the moment it looks like they will only be a match for the current core2duo's in terms of overall performance and with Intel launching its "penryn" family soon after (45nm process compared to the phenoms 65nm) Intel will still hold a huge lead in terms of performance. The simple fact is that AMD has fallen badly behind and unlike the situation with Intel P4 and AMD athlons, AMD doesn't have the finances to recover quickly at all. If your looking to buy a new mid-high range computer currently you would have to be pretty crazy to buy an AMD, Intel has the advantage in terms of power consumption, performance and they are offer a far better overclocking potetial. Currently - Intel > AMD
  2. Dim monsterxp As Integer 'declare variables Dim amount As Integer Private Sub Command1_Click() monsterxp = Text1.Text 'copy text box values to variables amount = Text2.Text Text3.Text = 4 * amount * monsterxp 'calculate and output in the text box End Sub kinda crude way of doing it but since im assuming your the only one using it, it should work (dont enter 0's or letters ;)) you may also have to rename the text boxes depending on how you set it up, just use something that explains what they are better than i did
  3. I think he means using 2 WD Caviars in a RAID 0 setup would give similar performances to the raptors, if you want to see the numbers for yourself then try looking at the charts here. If storage space isn't an issue then you can buy 2*320Gb drives like this, or buy another 500GB drive identical to the one you've got and set up a RAID 0 array. but depending on what it is, that may not perform as well and i'd suggest some sort of external drive to back up your data. If you need more convincing that you shouldnt be spending $200+ more on the raptors then just remember that RAID 0 doubles the chance of HD failiure already, drives running at 10k RPM instead of 7.2k RPM make them even more likely to fail. conclusion - save your money, buy beer or spend it on a better processor/gfx card which will give you a much bigger performance boost Rest of your system looks fine, but as has previously been suggested get an 8800GTS instead of the 8600 SLI and an intel processor/motherboard. Finally, are you going to be overclocking the processor? If you aren't then the stock cooler should suffice, especialy on an intel processor.
  4. VGA Cable works fine with my 22" monitor but don't expect the same quality as a nice big HD TV.
  5. The lamp gives 2500xp, doesnt matter what level.
  6. The thieving thing looks gr8 i just hope there will be a better way to get there than carpets
