gaming monitor pc world image
jdkanite
Need to filter / monitor 4 PCs in my home. When I look up reviews online most of them seem to be more advertising than anything else. I don't know what to trust. Subjective input from those who have used such products would help also.
Answer
Everyone has their fav, but as too how reliable that fav is??? It is entirely subjective to how a person uses a pc. A gamer will not like Nortons or any of the other resource hogs because they need speed & the hogs are using those resources by scanning & watching everything.
A typical surfer won't notice the slow down, though the typical user needs a program that does the work for them because the typical user won't remember to scan every week or update or keep on top of keeping the pc clean of other misc stuff. So the typical user could have the best software protection in the world & it won't mean anything if the user doesn't have it set up to automatically do everything.
Still others go to every questionable site they can find & can have all the very best protection & they will still get nailed by nasties. Build a better mousetrap concept...
So it is very subjective to use. What you need is objective facts. Perhaps the most objective is consumer reports. They did a test of all the majors recently in Sept.
I also like pc magazine. Yes, they are corp & do like to make a $. But if their info is not consistantly reliable they won't be making any more $ off magazine sales or advertising because the won't have any credibility left. So I believe that their info to be reliable despite the ads.
So it comes down to how much you want to spend. You can spend $$$$ & not lift a finger once it's set up, & you need to pony up some more $$$$ for relicensing. Or you can go the free route & spend a bit of time updating and running the software. There are many great reliable free products out there. Either way, you still need a layered approach to computer protection. Virus protection, firewall, spyware detection, adware protection & then a product that will catch trojans & other little nasties. Because no one product does it all despite their claims.
Whatever you do, keep your ms os's up to date & get rid of IE & put Firefox on as a browser. Not using MS will solve alot of problems.

Which parts should i use for my gaming pc?
360 snipa;

Answer
I switched from a q6600 overclocked to 3.2ghz that benched 14500 futuremark 06. Now running a q9550 which is about the same price as the q6600 nowdays. Also switched from a 4870 on the old rig to a 285GTX, now my futuremark06 scores 18500.
Step one in deciding what and how much to buy is this. What type of monitor are you using or going to use in the near future. If you are just planning on a 19-22" LCD then you can go with less of a graphics package. If you are planning on getting a 32" HDTV then you will want to spend a little on the graphics. Decerning between system basics is what you need to do. The q9550 is $220 on newegg.com, a 920 i7 is $280. The big difference is the price of the motherboard, especially if you are going with a monitor that you might decide to SLI. For the games you are into right now technically you can get a 1gig 4870 and play any way you choose, but if you want to future proof your rig for bigger and better graphics you will want nvidia... There is a world of difference from my 4870 to my 285GTX, but there is a $200 difference in price.
If you just want a rock solid gaming rig, go q9550 and P45 motherboard and 1gig 4870 and keep some money for a HDTV from Walmart...

If you really have the money to spend, go i7 naturally.
