There's no discernible difference in quality between HDMI and DVI, as both are digital cables. At the maximum 24-pin configuration, DVI supports HD video at a resolution of 1920x1200, as does HDMI. The only difference is that unlike HDMI, DVI cables...

As some of you know, my hard disk died right before New Year, so I need a new one.
So far I've been using the hard disk from my old computer, which is a 320GB 7200 rpm Hitachi hard drive.

Hey guys!

I'm looking to buy some new speakers since I have some Logitech X-140s right now. They are not bad, but I want something better for gaming and music.

Basically, I am somewhere in the 50-60 euro price range, but I could go up to...

Difference between active and passive is that a active speaker has it's own power source and amplifier. Doesn't do anything to the sound quality. But the Edifier only has one cable, I have to many cables :lol:

this is quite an old system you have there. if you want a cheap PC you can go for an AMD APU. it will run games, of course not on max settings, but still. you can also add a graphics card later on to get even more performance.

at least my 8350 will start to downclock it self if it hits 62+C for cores thats around 52C, mine never goes over 45C running prime95

i think all new motherboards and CPU's have this safety feature by now. i always monitor my GPU and CPU temps.
