Ars Front Page
The Ars Technica Front Page has two main sections: From The News Desk and Features. The News Desk typically consists of short articles featuring analysis of technology and science-related news, with occasional forays into sci-tech related political commentary. The News Desk came under scrutiny in March 2006, when IPDemocracy.com blogger Cynthia Brumfield accused Ars Technica of using material from her site without attribution IP Democracy. Similar charges surfaced again in July 2007 duncanriley.com ยป Does Ars Technica rip every story without credit?, and May 2008 ParisLemon: Another Classic Rip-Off Job By Ars Technica.

Is Ars Technica's guide the I seriously need a new
computer; a friend said this
site had the best options.
I was also wondering, is there
a certain season (Spring,
Summer, Fall, or Winter) that
has better (Newest) parts
released?
I want to get the "Hot Rod",
but wanted to wait out a few
seasons; they supposedly
release a new list of parts
each season.
I wanted to know if any one
else has followed their guide
on computer parts; or if they
could suggest a better website
for compatible parts.

It's one of the best. I've always used it as reference and I've been recommending their guide. They keep updating their guide because of the fast pace in graphics cards development. If you need the PC now, there is no reason to wait for the next update. The performance difference would not be huge. One thing I've noted is that they tend recommend a PSU that is just about right but with very little room for upgrades. If you have upgrades in mind over the near term, install a bigger power supply.

Im going to assume that your microphone (Im unfamiliar with that model and wasn't going to assume that is was an Audio Technica mike) has a 1/8" mini plug. Griffin Technology has a product called an Imic which can provide a mic input for you. |

How do dual core processors I'm looking at buying a new
gaming machine, and for
excellent performance without
breaking the bank, Ars
Technica is suggesting a
dual-core 2.93GHz system. A
game I'm looking at requires
2.5GHz minimum, 3.5GHz
preferred, but that's for
single-core performance. How
much does having a second core
contribute to the processing
speed of a gaming system?
Aha! Thanks, Andy, that's the
piece of information that I
was missing. Yes, I was
comparing apples and oranges
(or maybe goose eggs and
ostrich eggs). The Pentium vs
Core 2 detail was the one that
I somehow overlooked.

I'm guessing the game requirements of 2.5-3.5 are for a Pentium 4 or compariable. Since you are looking at a 2.93ghz system, I'm going to guess you are looking into a core 2 duo processor. The core 2's are so much faster then the pentium, a 1.8ghz core 2 would be compairable to a 3.0ghz Pentium or Pentium D. Only recently have games been written for dual core applications. But even for the ones that are not, the game can be loaded onto one of the cores while the other can handle all the other processes going on like windows running in the background. I would definately reccomend dual core for a new computer, and more specifically an Intel Core 2 duo. |
