Performance System Buying Guide 09-19-2007

When it comes to sheer price vs. performance value, there is no better chip on the market than Intel's Q6600. With four cores operating at a default speed of 2.4 GHz, you are all set for a crazy fast system. Those who do video editing, gaming or just a lot of multi-tasking will find this processor a dream come true. And, if you are lucky enough to get the G0 stepping, get ready for some insane overclocking and great temperatures.

Mainstream System Buying Guide 09-11-2007

Our guides are designed with overclocking in mind, so we often select lower-end processors / memory / video cards to save money, because we know these can be overclocked to equal or outperform higher priced hardware. All of our guides exclude common components such as a mouse, keyboard, monitor, OS, etc., under the assumption that you already own these items.

Budget System Buying Guide 09-06-2007

For that very reason, we started writing these System Buying Guides a few years back. We have three categories of Buying Guides: Budget, Mainstream and Performance. Our Budget Guide has a spending limit of $650, the Mainstream limit is $1,200 and we allocate $2,000 for our Performance Guide.
