The more I compare specs and prices the 940 does seem to be the best. The motherboard is my next question. I am wanting to spend $100 give or take. I know that I would need an AM2+ socket mobo. I currently have a gigabyte mobo for my q6600 build. Gigabyte seems to be a good mobo. Anyways, for the 940, what would be the best mobo for this processor for my price range? I don't need 2 pciE 2.0 slots, just one. I'm gonna just stick with ddr2 800 or 1066 mhz ram.

Thanks

I am trying to stay under $200 in choosing my processor. Currently I am looking at about 4 processors. I am looking at the q6600 and the q9400. Which between those 2 is the better processor?

I am also looking at a phenom x4 9950 and the phenon2x4 940. Which is better between these 2? Finally. out of these 4 processors which would be the best? I am sticking with ddr2 memory and not worrying about crossfire/sli. I am not a fanboy of either intel or AMD. I just want the best processor for my money.

Thanks

I bought a real nice logitech wingman from goodwill for $3 and a midi/gameport adapter pci card for $5. Everything was installing great until I went to install my joystick driver. It won't work in 64bot OS's. I am not going to reinstall my OS just to play 2 flight sims. Are there any emulator programs that will let me install this 32bit driver in my 64bit OS environment?

Thanks

I had Vista Ultimate with a dual boot, small partition, of Linux Ubuntu (about 13GB.) Ierased the Ubuntu partition and extended my Vista partition back over the 'once was' Ubuntu unallocated disk space. Everything worked fin and the system boots up fin and I have access to all of my files and 100% of my disk space.

The only problem is... When I go to re-shrink my partition so that I can dual boot the Windows 7 Beta it will only let me shrink it to 13GB. (same size as old Ubuntu Partition). General thinking tells me that I should do a disk defrag and this should allow me to shrink more than 13GB out of my main partition. Please tell me if that is correct or if there is something else I should do to get around it.

Thanks

I am wanting a good DVD ripper that doesn't create an inferior compressed copy. I want one that makes an exact copy that looks really good if I put it back onto a disk. Can you guys suggest any good programs? I have been looking at Magic DVD Ripper but was afraid of it just giving me compressed copies.

Thanks

I played RA3 on my older computer for a while before I finished building my new computer. I am wanting to move my game save files onto my new computer but am confused on which directory i move them into in the red alert 3 system files. I know this should be easy but it's not this time. Please help me.

Thanks

I am looking at getting a Q6600 and OC it. I am looking at just doing a moderate OC of it to 3GHZ keeping it at a multiple of 9 and just upping the FSB to 333. I don't know enough about OC'ing to change the voltage.

My question is... Is the stock Intel Heatsync/Fan good enough to keep this q6600 OC of 3ghz safely cool under a full load for a good period of time. I have a limited budget and don't want to buy an after market if I don't have to. If the stock isn't going to cut it, can you please offer me a good but cheap after market known to keep this processor cool?

Thanks

I have a Gigabyte P45 mobo and am wondering if I should install my q6600 cpu and stock heatsink fan onto my mobo before or after I screw the mobo into the case.

Which of these two boards do you think I should get? the more expensive one can do RAID but doesn't seem to have any other advantage to it, besides the fact that it has a cool looking heat transfer from the North Bridge. Also, the cheaper one has free shipping so I would end up spending $25 less.
