Get HW Monitor to monitor your temps

Pff.. Don't waste your money on a fancy case, I bought a nice looking case with a sidepanel look-in and literally the most useless buy ever. I'd focus more on your monitor, rather than your case. Heck, with that $85 you could be buying atleast a 19" LCD right there. Also I'd think about instead going for AMD, as they are generally cheaper. Buying a quad is useless at this moment even, and buying a core 2 quad is an even worse idea (i run a q6600, unless you do a lot of compiling and junk it's useless as fuck, a x3 or x2 would suffice just as good). I'd also recommend getting a new Mobo and DDR3 instead, this is because DDR3 is just as much as DDR2, and the fact is that DDR2 isn't getting any younger and switching now could be a relatively good choice for a longer-term computer. Also you shouldnt need to OC your GPU unless you are buffing out the GTA4. But since you are probably still gonna OC i'd suggest getting RivaTuner and making it so your GPU fan is running 100% 24/7 so you can have it survive a longer amount. But OCing it without running the fan is a recipe for disaster, it would probably not even last a year :/

I used Rainmeter and that one thing at one time, was just pretty much boring, i usually don't focus on my desktop. Infact I usually have Chrome or CS:S open 24/7 to be looking at my desktop.

Meh, when you're using a Gaming laptop battery life shouldn't be a problem. The fact is that if you have Wireless Internet you're probably sitting at home/relatives/etc and have the ability to go plug in to an outlet. But in the case you use AT&T's/Verizon's/etc's wifi then I guess battery life does matter. But I definitely don't recommend trying to play games when you're going 50mp/h down a road. I can guarantee you would not have good results in internet durability

Don't get Alienware!! Get Origin PC's instead, it's the people who made alienware before Dell or whoever bought it. http://www.originpc.com/index_us.asp

Start > Run > dxdiag. It'd be nice to know your System Model, so we can know what your Mobo uses as a PCI-E slot. Also check the display tab to tell us what GPU you currently have. It would also be great if you could tell us your Power Supply Wattage (you'll have to open your PC up for this and check what it says on the PSU, unless you bought a prebuilt PC from a company like HP, then give us the model details and a quick google find should give us the necessary information

Glad to be of service. Also check the extension's page for more custom themes, it seems that google isn't adding some newer themes onto their designated spot, so people just upload them in the extensions site, just search for theme and it'll pop up some good ones.

HOLY SHIT we all thought it would never happen, but it did! Google Chrome now supports extensions (well it did before, but google didn't have this awesome page)! https://chrome.google.com/extensions I've found all the addons I used it Firefox so far, so I may switch over But we'll see, I'm still looking for a hotmail incoming email notifier and a auto login addon. But I've found some sweet shit like Gmail Notifier, Adblock, Google Translate and a goo.gl url shortener, and others. Also there are some custom themes, mostly just recolors and a few snazzy images, but still good looking. https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html PS: Synchronize your bookmarks with your gmail PPS: I like men

Hence why I stated it will come in the 2nd gen. You do know ASUS supplies tech parts for Apple, right? And alas, I was wrong, you were right about MPC/Gateway. Also when HTML5 is released you don't think Google will jump on that boat? Now I haven't seen HTML5 in action yet, obviously, however, if they bring more to the table than Flash (flash has been shit for years, no one can deny that, but no one can compete, until now.), then many people would be converting (including Google, who owns youtube) Hmmm.....

I'll just list the things that counter-act your paragraph. Bigger screen Better games (1ghz core) HTML5 (flash is going to die) Dock connector Camera is actually a possibility, and if it doesn't come now it will come in the 2nd gen As for multi-tasking, i'd wait and see on that old chap Also, have fun on your single core p4 HP tablet that will be loud and hot as fuck. I'm glad you have so much faith in HP/Dell/etc, considering Apple has been known to not ship out laptops that break in a few months. Let's not forget Gateway, who went BANKRUPT, and had to cancel their insurance policy with every single one of the school's that had their tablets for students.

Sony VIAO is pretty durable, I recommend.

Fuck smartphones, I'm not going to pay an extra $30/mo for data plans. Now they've added the env3's into the 10/mo data package. Fuck Verizon. Fuck the droid. I'll sit here with my Samsung Intensity with my unlimited texting and my $10/mo saved from the scamming fucks at verizon. And also Google charges $5## for a nexus phone, HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN REMOTELY MAKE ANY GODDAMN FUCKING SENSE

$169.95 USD

The ipad/pod/touch/phone products cant include flash you idiot, its the easiest way for people to hack into it and jailbreak it. It's not Apple's fault, if flash was open source they'd fix it, or if there were an alternative (there isnt). If you want flash so bad just jailbreak it yourself and risk the ipad of being exploded. And no, it's not the same as the iPod Touch, it's much fucking different, the iPad has way better specs. And to people waiting for a Win7 tablet, I have a tablet that runs XP, and boy, you are going to be in for a surprise when you get one.

Get Sony VAIO, they are pretty durable

Hey, I'm looking for Speakers that have a the Green audiojack (the one you plug other speakers into) and has the pink one (the microphone jack), and optionally, a volume control on it. I'm not looking for anything super high quality, and it doesn't need to be huge. I don't want GIANT speakers either. Just something regular sized that usually come with those Dell desktops, etc. picture illustration: http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/6442/asdoi.jpg also, it can be 1 or 2 speakers, price range is +rep if you find me a good one also im already looking through newegg, so if i dont repost saying ive found one, then your chances are that there isn't one on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836193001 ive found that one so far, but if anyone can find me that one cheaper, or a cheaper one alltogether id appreciate it!

Why'd you pay an extra $1000?

I used to use Chrome, but I'm back at Firefox although. The problem with chrome is the lack of addons to this day, now, if they get BETTER custom themes, and more people develop addons, i'd switch. But as for now, firefox. As for laptops using Chrome, chrome uses the most battery life, IE uses the least.

Does the lag happen on Windows 7 also?

Coulda just emulated the OS with a Virtual Machine?

Windows 7 runs games just fine, in some cases, better. Windows 7 carries better multicore support so your computer's resources are more optimized for other tasks.

fuck yo couch.

If you get legitimate business papers n shit i think game devs will send you their discs for reviewing only if you are big time though. but i dunno exactly, anyone wanna correct me?

I use to work at a food mart and i occasionally smuggled a candy bar, bag of chips, or a pop home with me after work. they were paying me minimum wage anyways.
