I have been pretty impressed with the eGo, it has a d/c in, but I never have used it; but it also has a USB cable that has two connectors on one end, and if the power output of the one port is not enough you can plug the 2nd one in for more juice, I have never had to do that I just thought it was good thinking to include it-ChalkTrauma (January 18, 2008, 08:55 PM)

Remember that parents have less technical ways to make the routers biased to their PCs if they suspect something...

wtf. are you talking about "frame rate hit"? O_o. Deliberately getting a single-core CPU is outright stupid, unless you're very very short on cash. And even if you don't run threaded software, well, dualcore makes your whole experience sooooo much smoother. Btw, QuadCores are quite affordable now, Q6600 very cheap (and overclockable), and the Q9450 being mad power right out of the box, but still reasonably priced.
Your motherboard is guaranteed to be LGA775, and if it was purchased relatively recently, it should work just fine with a core2 CPU.
Oh, and finally: Pentium-D consumes more power and is slower per megahertz than the core2 CPUs.-f0dder (January 18, 2008, 04:52 PM)
It's not even a Pentium D, it's a Celeron D. But I thought the D stood for Dual Core?-Deozaan (January 18, 2008, 05:27 PM)
Why do you want/need so many USB ports? And why do you want to use up every slot on your motherboard? I know it's fun to upgrade computers, but is it really necessary to have something plugged into everywhere?I ran out of USB ports. Litterally. I used every last one. Including the 2 on my keyboard! Hence the need for a USB card. I now have 5 total ports left, opposed to none.-Deozaan (January 18, 2008, 05:27 PM)
Your reasons aside, when I build a new computer I focus on CPU, RAM, GPU, and HDDs. Those are the areas you want to spend the most money because most everything else (IMO) doesn't make much of a difference for the longevity of the system. And naturally with all those USB ports in use you'll need a good Power Supply and naturally a good motherboard to handle the high end GPU and CPU. But my point is that I focus on 3-4 things I want and then determine the rest of the stuff I need to be able to handle those 3-4 things.-Deozaan (January 18, 2008, 05:27 PM)
pardon my ignorance but what is "open box"?-lanux128 (January 17, 2008, 10:00 PM)
