A new book entry has been added: How to Improve Your Online Multiplayer Game

I have zero experience in the computer field but and have only been learning alot about it recently but I think I've found my calling. I've heard a career as a MCSE is one of the best in the industry. What would everyone recommend as a proper path to achieving MCSE certification. Should I get a...

Is there any other benefit for having the SLI with just one video card or do you have it in case you decide to double up?

What excately is SLI for MoBos? I tried to research this abit myself but most sites are very ambiguous simply stating that its an improvement...but why is it an improvement they don't say.

Its just bad RNG...trust me I am the king of this subject. It plagues me in every game I play. When I send a Stack of units to attack I have to send two or three times more then a normal player would have to because I know I will lose 2/3 to bad rng. Its just sumthin I've learned to live with...

But what about the higher processor speed it is a full GHz up on AMD. Not only that but I've heard they have less instances of overheating and crashing. I understand that AMD has a greater bus speed and that dual core is really pulling me towards it but I just want to be sure I'm not just...

Thank you very much for all the help :)

o and another question is there a difference in getting 4x512mb v 2x1024Mb sticks. I noticed that when looking at the alienware specs that all their systems had 512 sticks and was wondering if there was some kind of advantage. And what is the best kind of memory to get...DDR266 (PC2100)...

Thank You very much for the response...are those motherboards you described able to handle two video cards? What about liquid cooling v air cooling? Should I get a seperate memory or hard drive cooler?

I was recently considering getting an Alienware's high end PC ALX. I started researching and found that ALOT of people think they are a piece o blip. So I'm taking on the brave mission of building my own based on the specs of the ALX. So if anyone would be so kind to do a final inspection on...

anyone have an idea of how to get fraps to work with Civ3?
