I recently installed an Intel E2180 in a friends computer, and I have to say - that thing is fast.  The default clock is 2.0ghz, but it was easily pushed to 3.2 with a custom cooler (Freezer 7).The E2180 plays Crysis with absolutely no problem whatsoever.  It easily pushes 30fps and more so overclocked.  Actually, Crysis ran at almost 30fps with no overclock whatsoever.The main r...

For many people, Halo 3 is the "killer app" of the xbox 360.  This is a strong statement as the 360 packs a large library of singleplayer and multiplayer shooters.  Indeed, Halo 3 does stand out. Graphics:Halo 3 is one of the better looking shooters of 2007-2008.  The resolution is sub 1280x720, but antialiasing makes up for it.  Beautiful level design and lig...

The AMD 4400+ is one of the better budget processors on the market.  I am using stock cooling, and I have it overclocked from 2.1ghz to 2.7ghz.  With a better cooler, I could probably push it to 3.2, but I cannot verify that right now.  I have had it up to 2.9ghz before on stock cooling, but I turned it down in favor of better voltages.  The processor works great with DDR2 8...
