Before you drop the dough on a whole new system, here's a list of upgrades for squeezing a few more months, years even, out of ol' faithful, during these trying economic times.

The Real Cost of System Memory

... been available in both DDR2 and DDR3 versions. The exception, of course, is Core i7, since Core i7's memory controller only supports DDR3. But most users have tended to lean towards DDR2 when possible, due to the lower price. But how much lower priced is DDR2 these days? I decided to do a little digging. What I'm presenting here is entirely unscientific, and isn't meant to be comprehensive. For one thing, the data I'll show in a bit only comes from one source, albeit a large one: Newegg.com . Newegg sells a lot of memory, and also carries a lot of different brands. I scanned ...

New MSI GeForce GTX 260 Accelerator Draws Inspiration from Red Camp

... by the ATI Radeon HD 4870/4890. The MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv4 uses a red PCB, a cooler design that takes inspiration from that of the reference Radeon HD 4870 to the extant that it looks plesantly amusing. The heatsink over the card's VRM area coarsely resembles a shorter one on the reference-design Radeon HD 4850. Aesthetics apart, this card is factory overclocked, with speeds of 655/2100 MHz (core/memory). It packs 896 MB of GDDR3 memory. American retailer Newegg.com has it listed for $174.99, which further goes down to ...

How-to: Give Your PC a Professional Wiring Job
Maximum PC —
We’ve all seen those perfectly wired high-dollar rigs with cables completely hidden beneath the motherboard tray and have wanted that for our home-brewed PCs. Unfortunately, unless you’re prepared to buy or make cables that are precisely the correct length for the components in your system, a Voodoo-quality wiring job is nigh-impossible to achieve. However, with some zip ties and a little patience, you can get close.
Before you start, you’ll need something to restrain the cables. Some enthusiast PC cases come with a package of ties, but they’re also frequently available in the ...

Indeed, your best chance of bagging one is likely to be our latest ...
DIAMOND 4890PE51GXOC Radeon HD 4890 1GB Video Card Review
FutureLooks :: Digital Lifestyle and Technology for the Masses —
... . As for pricing, it’s kinda silly to talk about pricing on a 4890 at this stage in the game. Newegg does have the card listed for $219 USD, but I’m sure as the 5800 series cards expand their availability, the price on the 4890 will drop. It should actually make a good performance upgrade for those who already have a 4890 and want an extra boost. At least that’s the theory I’ll be working with, as I will be testing how much of a performance boost I get as I build myself a Crossfire based main rig. What Else is in the Box?
