pretty funny, you could add #13- Its always good to get a second opinion. I have found that drinking Go-Lytely (can you believe that is the name of the laxative, i always call it bombs away instead of Go Lytely, anyways preparing for the procedure is actually worse than the procedure itself, especially after they give you a shot of something really good in that IV, after that shot you understand why there are drug addicts

I agree with Ausvet a wallpaper would be good, most of us could do that, skinning well thats another story most of us cant do that, i am sure if it was a wallpaper there would be a huge amount of entries making it more competitive and more fun, and best part of all everyone benefits from it i cant do skins but jeez i can do a wallpaper

Reply to ATI 5870 - The Beast has arrived in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I used to run 4870's but always seemed to have little problems here and there, made the switch to EVGA GTX 295 a while back, and love it, have not had any problems whatsoever,i might be that i am jinxed with ATI, even my ATI tv tuner didnt work properly, but this 295 while a little steep in price, the performance is spectacular, especially when i am working on digital pictures and videos

Reply to CPU confusion, need help making a choice in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote]This is quite interesting indeed... given the i7 860 is somewhat cheaper than the 920. If there's not a lot of difference between the standard clock speeds it'd be worth looking into, and being that it overclocks really well, it may well be that it's a better prospect than the i7 920.[/quote] Actually at micro center in boston, the core 17 920 is 199.00 and the core 17 860 is 229, go figure
