Just read it, thank you all for the help. Everything is fine now.

I'm building a new rig, and right now BIOS and CPUZ are reading differently. To start, here is my new computer. CPU - E8400 Wolfdale RAM - 4GB (2x2GB) OCZ PC6400 Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R Vid Card - eVGA GeForce 9600GT BIOS says the CPU is running at 333MHzx9 = 3 GHz, but CPUZ says...

I'm building the computer for my sister to take to college so I'd rather not overclock a processor if I can help it.

Indeed. It is double listed at the more expensive price but then at this cheaper price also. Oh well, it's a great way to get a very fast system for much cheaper.

I just purchased an Athlon 64 3800+ Venice at zipzoomfly for just $149! I'm building a computer for my sister and didn't think I'd be able to find such a great CPU for so cheap. I'm excited. However, I don't know why it was so inexpensive. Here is a link for anyone else that is interested...

I think wearing standardized uniforms is a good idea. It prevents discrimination based on clothing. For example, I knew a kid who wasn't able to afford Abercrombie, AE, etc, and was treated like crap because he didn't have the newest clothes. School uniforms would solve this problem...

I used coolbits and overclocked my eVGA 7800GS from stock speeds to 475/1440 MHz. It benchmarks really well and plays games perfectly.

I just got BF2 and am about to get 500 points to unlock my first weapon. Which weapon do y'all recommend? I had a friend tell me that he recommends the medic unlock, but I'm curious as to what you guys think. Thanks for the help.

I just uninstalled and re-installed Office, and still no luck. The only other thing is that the other day I was using Excel and accidentally removed my USB drive without going through the "Safely Remove Hardware" deal. Could that be part of it?

It's Office XP Professional. I tried downloading the Office XP update and I got an error message saying "The expected version was not found on your system". It was really odd.

Whenever I am using a program such as Word, Excel, etc., and go to "Open File" the program freezes when I hit the arrow for the drop down menu to select a file location. I can't figure out why it's doing this but it's annoying and I'd like for it to stop. Any ideas? By the way, here is a pic...

I have a 3700+ Clawhammer and the highest I can get it up to stable is 2.6 GHz. It's pretty much as crappy as can be when it comes to overclocking. Luckily, it flies at stock already ;)

Get an Opteron 165 instead of the X2 3800+. A 165 is literally just a better version of the 3800+

Vybuni is right. 3DMark06 stresses the GPU more than practically any other program you can think of. I have a 7800GS and only score 3,321.

I was looking at dual channel 2GB kits, but then I decided to get 2 separate 1GB sticks because it's cheaper and my socket 754 doesn't support dual channel memory anyway. I ended up getting 2 1GB sticks of Corsair Value Select from zipzoomfly for a total of $135 with free 2 day shipping. I'm...
