Thats not comfortable overclocking. comfortable overclocking would be taking a 1.86GHz core 2 to around 2.2Ghz. When you jump over 1000Mhz your way beyond comfortable.

Your not banned at all...

The only real reason for quad core or higher is when you do video, 3D image rendering or big photoshop files. otherwise nothing else really taks advantage of it.

Having i that way is better. That way the power supply doesnt steal air from the CPU, and it doesnt make the case top heavy

Thats good having a 120mm fan in the front and back. You want just as much coming in as going out. Side fans are ok, but the mess with air flow. A top fan is real good because hot air rises. The antec 900 is a real good case becuse the huge 200mm fan on the top pulls all of the hot air out.

If you want a quite PC, and plan on putting a binch of crap in it then yes. but they are big

Because thats for vista home basic. Its kinda runs on 512mb. :haha: You really need 2GB to run vista well

thats because it doesn't make you sick. Its hard to really notice it on a mac but its there and looks better because of it.

This is my quad core on air, a lot of air, but still air and it runs pretty damn cool

Areo it self is not, The idea of having everything transparent is. just about everything on OS X is transparent No, a intel core 2 processor runs really cool, a fan is all you really need.

forgot to add "what ever apple puts into leopard"

vista ultimate is a joke. $400 bucks for a few stupid extra things

The next one is going to be bigger then vista because it will have all the good shit that was taken out of vista. aka WinFS, full 64bit, and some others

1. thats just about all fixed, almost all programs work just fine on vista. 2. this is good because the more ram the faster it runs. 3. buy a OEM version 4. vista is far more secure then XP, too early to tell but so far is much better in that determent Microsoft is not in the mood to improve vista anytime soon, they just want to sell some copies of it right now.

A good rule of thumb that most people don't know or get, is if you buy a $300 processor buy a $300 video card. If you buy a $300 processor and a $100 video card then most of your processor went to waste because its waiting for your slow video card. same for if you get a $100 processor and a $300 video card. You have to match everything somewhat atleast In that system the video card is going to choke down everything else when he games on it.

Do you plan on running vista?

Even if he wanted DX10 your not running any games in DX10 mode on a 8500 My problems started with AMD's thunderbird (what a POS) and stoped with the 64 first came out, but came back with the X2

For me its been the other way, always problems with AMD systems. But anyway, Don't get a 8500. You could get a 7950 for a little more and it will be much faster

Why? Give me a honest answer. A core 2 duo crushes a AMD in every benchmark.

What are you smoking? its gotta be good if it can make AMD look good right now.... lol

Faster... What year is this? :haha: Intel Processors are far faster, and a much better processor then AMD's

a higher end 7 series for not much more is faster.

thats alot of money for not very much. $61.33 for 1GB of ram is alot. and the 8500GT isnt that great.

Add another million FIOS customers and well see if that says lol

this is verizon you are talking about the same people that have a "unlimted" evdo plan, but cap it at 5GB
