I really do appreciate the input, and i do not take offense, maybe it is luck, maybe its how i have it configued, but in all honest, this thing screams, and i havent even overclocked the gpu or the cpu yet, that is coming when i know exactly how to do it, reading a lot about it, i already fried an DX58SO in december a month after i bought it, so now i am doing my homework on the overclocking, i guess you would call it learning the hard way, but i love to learn, to build something that r

Good deal on that board, i presently are using the Intel DX58SO motherboard and absolutely love it, this board is designed to be overclocked, Intel ships software with it to do just that, it is still a little steep in price though and really hasnt dropped that much since i bought it in november when it first came out

A story with a happy ending, excellent, we have 3 silky terriers, and love them all dearly, we had an american eskimo for 11 years, and she came down with this god awful disease called "Cushings Disease" but to hear your story, and a happy ending is so nice from a fellow dog lover

I used to do it, now a couple of kids down the street do it, they make a good days pay, and i get to watch, i have done my fair share, I will tell you though, 16 year old kids have energy thats for sure, maybe i overpay them, but they look forward to it every week, and in this economy it gives them some spending cash, and teaches them some values, you work hard and you get paid well for it

Reply to What is the best anti-virus software? in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I have had problems with Norton in the past, being such a huge resource hog, then recently i guess they rewrote their code base, and released a good product, I use Norton Internet Security, and it is very very good, easy to use interface, not a resource hog at all, so my pitch is Norton Internet Security, plus when you purchase it it comes with 3 licenses, to use with 3 pcs in your household ifyou have them,

I am kinda baffled by the whole ordeal, TSF legally is right, but, its just a screenshot, if i did something similar, i would give TSF credit, and say in my screenshot, i liked this skin but customized it to my personal preference, but give everyone credit, and the alterations were for personal preference, but thats just me

Hey Mick, yes we could call ourselves people, but i feel we are different than the average Joe, people here tend to be very kind, helpful and great sense of humors, in todays economy and political situations all over the world this is a good place to be and for a brief few moments lets you forget about all the bad things going on, unfortunately it seems to get worse every day, i have always considered myself as a "optimistic pessimist"

Oh i definitely agree with the "too much time on our hands" and bordering on "lunatic fringe" and "nutcases" but you know what then being this way obviously is a good thing, especially for the most part admitting we are all wack jobs LOL, but good kind and helpful wack jobs, when i posted this i knew i was guaranteed some laughter, and i got a lot more than i thought. Humor is such good medicine, being a little twisted helps now and then too!!! LOL

One of the main reasons about the traffic going into boston from the south, its just crazier and more of it, anyway, i hate to drive, especially in heavy traffic, ( i am the guy in the right lane doing the speed limit) i was involved years ago in a serious accident in heavy rush hour traffic, so the paranoia is still there, on the lighter side, i really do appreciate all your help with this, it always pays dividends asking for opinions, guess this is one of the reasons i renewed my Wincustomi

Thanks all, my price range is between 1000 and 1500, i should have said that in my original post, i am not a gamer per se, but i do like my pc's fast, internet, some photo editing (from digital camera) plus sometimes sitting at the desk gets old, I also do databases in MSAccess, as well as Filemaker Pro, so some tend to get large
