for speakers, you would be much more please with Klipsch PM 2.1 for $99.99 or if you want to spend the extra $30 get these Klipsch PM 4.1 $129.99

I have had the 2.1's for about a year now, and they are fantastic. now that they dropped price on 4.1's i decided to pick them up and give these to my mom. trust me, you wont be sorry with these speakers. 2.1 or 4.1 they both rock.

Not that the FX5600 is bad, but the Radeon 9600 is better

and i would get AMD imo

they would say anything to get you to buy their product. as far as i know, the 9800 does not have any overheating problems. AMD is just as stable as INTEL.....maybe more....but no real way of measuring, they are both stable but i would suggest AMD.
