Robert is sunning himself in the FLA. No hurricanes until June. Scott Asnault and Loyd Case are hosting. • Our Viewer Tech Pic of the Week is from Benjimin of Vulcan, Alberta, Canada. • Brooks was so excited about Smash Bros. Brawl coming out that Scott let him do the interview with Shane Bettenhausen, Executive Editor for the 1UP Network. • Brian Bennett, Reviews Editor for PC Magazine reviews the Pharos Drive GPS 250 and the Cobra Nav ONE 5000. • Our questions for Loyd: I am looking to build a mid to high end PC with gaming and rendering ability, but do not fully understand the difference between consumer and business video cards (i.e. Geforce vs Quadro). I like FPS gaming, but I also heavily use Photoshop and AutoCAD for my field of landscape architecture, what best suits my needs? Thanks in advance,Trevor-Pittsburgh, PA I'm running a home-built Intel Pentium 4 550; the dreaded Prescott house warmer. I seem to be having a problem where once a year or so, my CPU overheats and causes thermal shutdowns several times a week. In the past, I would reapply the thermal compound. Is it normal that I need to this every year or is something else going on here? Thanks so much,Todd-Bellport, NY I am building my first pc with a focus on gaming and media playback. I am weighing the merits of two motherboard series: the 680i with full x16 sli and the 750i with x16/x8 but having the extra bandwidth of PCI-E 2.0 available. Which of these setups would be better for gaming? Thanks, Eric-Cape Coral, Florida Just got a new phenom quad with dual 3870 crossfire but at systemrequirementslab.com I fail the video card test is there something on my m3a32 bios I should change or is crossfire activated only by catalyst software?
