I'm planning to buy a Desktop and it's for gaming purposes...From what I've chosen , these are the basic parts

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
4 Gigs of DDR2 ram
GeForce 8500GT
250 Gigs of hard disk

From the components I've picked, is this okay? Because it's just nice for my budget...As for other things such as power supplies and which motherboard is better, can anyone tell me which should i choose?
For the SLI and overclocking part, I have totally no idea what they're talking...Can anyone please explain to me here?
Finally, is this PC able to go for the long run?Because I wouldn't want it to be outdated so soon...

awlways ask, "have you got your own teeth"? Or volunteer that information?

Are they into biting or being bitten? Do they realise that denture wearers dont actually share them so even they DO have their own teeth?

I was just promoted to RFE. My first day on the job I had to go out and download a train that had run through a red signal. It broke my heart to have to take another engineers license from him.

All the while, two railfans were standing nearby snapping pictures like they had never seen a train before. They approached another RFE and asked how long the train would be there. He explained to them that the train had gotten through the signal and the crew was being relieved.

If it had been me seeing a man getting fired, I would have gotten in my truck and left so as not to be party to something so humiliating. But, these two jerks kept right on snapping pictures.

Are these pics of engines really so important to railfans that you'd want to further humiliate an engineer that just lost his job?

Why not be more respectful and go get some lunch while you wait for a relief crew to move the train?

Why is is that we all want to lose ## of pounds by such-and-such date? Why do we all want to have a flatter tummy? Why do we all wish we had so-and so's body part? Are we all that unhappy with outselves? When did we become such an image obsessed society?

It is very rare for a situation in any media format to show a fathe that is supportive of their family and puts them first in all aspects of his life. Why is this?

Note - I said rare, not that it doesn't exist. Examples of existence : The Pursuit of Happyness, Andy Griffth Show, Men of Honor, there are more, but far more are the retard, drunk, abusive, angry fathers.

Hello,

I have a Labrador and she has been really tired lately - when I take her for walks she is usually 3-4 metres in front of me, but now shes 2-3 metres behind me. She is 6 years old, and has recently been peeing in her kennel/bed and not getting up to pee. What could be the problem?

I got an original copy from my office as per office policy and using it on my desktop since I do some work from home too. But my Symantec Antivirus (Version: 10.0.2.2000) is always disabled even clicking on the system tray icon and pushing 'Enable Auto-protect' dosen't help. It quickly swithes back to the disabled mode. Please help.

Since I already have updated it through live update, I would loose it all if I uninstall and reinstall it again. There was a Google updater installing Norton earlier which I removed, is there a connection since both r from the same company??

Please help urgently! Thanks!

Given that during the key hour that seems to be disputed they were in the middle of the quiz. And given that they all seemed to be coming and going every few minutes to check on their kids (given their statements) there's no way they could have paid attention to what was going on in the quiz.

And yet with them all getting up and leaving every few minutes no-one seemed to have noticed the constant disruption from their table (since in most 'quiz nights' Ive been in, most people sit at their tables and its pretty obvious when people are constantly moving about as the McCann and co clan claimed to be).

this iranian girl whom i had problems with bordering on racial,(i'm asian american,so perhaps there were some cultural things that caused both of us to react in harsh manners)will sometimes look at me when i'm not looking(the lookaway)gaze at me from a distnce,try to get my attention,etc.....We were pretty harsh to each other(again racial things,)and i only had 1 good conversation with her last month where i was pretty much respectful,restrained my temper,etc....and refused to lose my temper and banter with her.I ignored her after that because i didn't trust her and didn't want to give my cards away to her.Why would she still act like this?
