I don't have one, way too expensive for my tastes, but I have researched it a lot. It's supposed to be really awesome. Near impossible to slow it down. Still, unless you need to have the best hardware available, I'd give some time before buying. It's so expensive primarily because it's the first wave of DirectX 10. DX10 cards will get cheaper soon. At the moment, you can't get a DX10 card under $250+. I don't need the kind of power the 8800 has, so I'm just waiting for a cheaper DX10 supporting card. If you have a use for the massive power, then by all means, go for it. You won't be disappointed.

I've been wanting to learn C++, but I'm not really sure where to get started. I was gonna look into online tutorials, but a friend told me I won't get anywhere without books. I don't really care about anything he says, though, so I figured it would be best to ask someone who knows.Can I learn simply from online tutorials and reading, or should I actually buy books on C++? If so, what should I buy? I don't know what would be a good one to get started with.Thanks.

Wow, that's awesome. I didn't hear about anything like that until now. Last thing I heard about mass storage like that was when that research about liquid storage, or something like that, came up. Storing data in water or something. No idea what ever happened to that.Holographic storage looks promising, but pricing can make all the difference. It may be a standard in the future, but right now, if the price is just too high, it won't sell. Only for those running large server clusters, which is really the only one that needs it now.

I'm partial to Joomla, personally. I haven't used a lot of others extensively, though. Joomla and Wordpress, primarily. I'd like to try some of the others, but I'm too lazy to do so. Takes too much time to upload those on my connection. Joomla seems to be the most hopeful one. Though I haven't used Joomla a lot yet. I have no real use for a CMS at the moment.

AMD's been way ahead for anyone into gaming, and most people overall, until recently. As far as price to performance goes, you're best off with a Core 2 Duo. I've got a Core 2 Duo E6300, which, at the time I bought, was around the same price as the Athlon X2 3800+. I was gonna go for that, but I'm glad I didn't. As far as a raw comparison between those two goes, the Core 2 Duo wins out in most cases.The cheaper Core 2 Duos have overclocking ability on their side. With good cooling, you can get a normally 1.86GHz E6300 to the mid 3 GHz area. On stock cooling, they can usually go up to 2.5GHz or so. If you're into overclocking, Core 2 Duo is for you.Of course, by the time you buy something new, AMD may have something new out. It's bound to happen before too long. Currently, I've gotta say Core 2 Duo is your best value overall.

I built mine some time ago. Had some...issues with the build, but it came out well in the end. Awesome PC. It's awesome. Only thing I'd like to do is get another gig of RAM for it.
