    So, I need a cheap external DVD drive

    Planning on getting an EEE pc, opinions on that aside, I'll be putting xp on it among other things, so I'll be needing an external dvd drive. Most of these units seems to be upwards of $50 which seems like a lot of money for a simple dvd drive. Any ideas?

    Check your local Gamestop, Bioshock maybe available!

    Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but felt people should know. Gamestop pre-order rules state they won't hold a reserved game for more then 48 hours. As of this morning, the holding period has passed. My local GS had one Limited Edition and 6 regular copies of Bioshock. I got the LE with the...

    Can anyone explain FSB?

    Ok, this is my understanding of FSB (Front Side Bus). It is the speed at which the system as a whole is running at. A Intel e6300 runs at 1.83GHz based on a FSB of 266 X 7. Intel Motherboards are quad pumped, meaning 266 X 4 yields a FSB of 1066. Newer Motherboards and Intel chips will support a...

    Socket AM2 or 939?

    The situation boils down to budget. Socket 939 offers cheaper DDR memory that runs at high speeds but the processors are hard to find. I could get a x2 4800 for like $250 and then find fast memory for under $150 with great timings (2-3-2-6-). On the other hand I would have to get an Nforce 4...
