I am looking to put a new motherboard and processor in my desktop. I am looking to have the best I can get the cheapest possible of course. I have a tower, a 350 watt power sourse, dvd writer, just looking to upgrade. Need an onboard video card, or advice on how to go

Irvine, CA--Congratulations Mr. President! It only took you four years to name the enemy as Islamo-Fascism. Now the question is: Will this important identification make any difference in how you conduct the war?Apparently not, because you don't understand the meaning of your own words. If you did, you would acknowledge that Iraq was the wrong target, that other nations, most notably Iran, were and are the wellsprings that nourish and arm Islamic totalitarianism. You would acknowledge that to acheive victory, you must crush the totalitarians and discredit their ideology in the minds of the populace. To do the latter, people...

More and more Americans today are coming to understand the terrible truth about our Federal Govt--that it seeks to dominate us as citizens, to mold us into a society of dutiful Stepfor Wives, totally beholden to the wishes of elite politicians, bureaucrats and bankers. Those who study history independent of the public school system, understand that this state aggrandizement process has been under way for the past 100 years in America in one for or another. It is taking place because too many of our citizens sanction such dictatorial usurpation and actually work diligently for its implementation.This process, has resulted...

My computer is full of errors, it needs to be wiped and to get a clean start. Is it worth it to save files on the internet, then take back what I have saved their? I am a rookie and don't really know YET how or the steps to doing this. Please give information or opinions about the online hard drive storage that is offered.

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq-American commanders are fully aware that Iraq's insurgents exploit their policy of employing locals on the U.S. military bases, but insist the practice will not stop, though some security measures may be tightened.The vulnerability of the American stance was exposed on Dec. 21, when an Iraqi suicide bomber dresed in a military uniform, detonated his explosives at a mess hall at Forward Operating Base Marez in Mosul, killing 22 people, including 14 U.S. servicmembers.

Celine Dion, will sing "America the beautiful" with an arrangement by David Foster, who prepared Whitney Houstons, anthem turned hit, during the Persian Gulf war.

In the wake of last weeks terrorist attacks in NYC, the airlines were shut down. Obstensibly to remake this mode of travel, into a safe and secure form. As the flights began resuming, I and many others began to wonder, what new rules were imposed? It seems that it will be harder to get hired as baggage handlers, mechanic or maintenance crew, every piece of luggage will be checked, and lines will be so long that terrorist will become old enough to regret their intentions and go home.This may be an exageration but, as some old lady once said in ...

Mexico City-- If they can't stop illegal immigration to the United States, officials of the new Mexican govt, say their citizens at least shouldn't die in the process of trying. Starting next month, the administration of President Vicente Fox, will distribute up to 200,000 survival kits to those planning to immigrate illegaly to the US this summer.Each packet will contain food, water, medicine and information to prepare people for the problems they are likely to face on the trip north, which can include a dangerous trek through deserts and mountains of California or Arizona

Defense Dept secretary, Donald Rumsfield, has hired a prominent homosexual activist--and "gays in the military" advocate--with a history of donating to liberal Democratic candidates, to screen applicants for positions in the Bush defense department.Prior to arriving at the Bush defense dept, Herbit was senior counselor at Window Communication, a public relations firm. One of his partners was David Mixner, also a prominent homosexual activist, who was a close associate of Bill Clinton, and who first gained notoriety for organizing the 1969 march on Washington, in opposition to the Vietnam war. William Waybourn was also a partner of Herbits at Window ...

OLYMPIA{AP}-After weeks of delicate negotiations, key lawmakers say the gun lobby, and advocates for gun control, may be on the verge of an agreement to close the so-called gun show loophole.Reps. Chris Hurst, D-enumclaw, and Mike Carrell, R-Lakewood, have been serving as mediators as representatives of the National Rifle Association, and other gun-rights organizations, negotiate with Washington Ceasefire, the states leading advocate for gun control, over a proposal to require buyer background checks at gun shows.The groups still face thorny disputes, over record keeping, fees and how quickly the checks must be performed. But some participants are feeling optimistic, particularly ...

Amongst the faces of the sea of people pardoned in a last minute frenzy, suspiciously absent was a certain friend of Clintons, by the name of Webb Hubbell.Mr. Hubbell was an integral part of cover-up that kept Clinton in his position, he knew where the bodies were, either figuratively, or literally[if you wear a tin hat]. He was once deemed so important, that millions of dollars, from questionable sources were given to him for no discernable reason. Nearly all of the monies given to him, came from the same place as that money illegally donated to Clintons election campaigns, and ...

I've been trying to figure out the reason for Jesse' to step down at this time. Maybe he is stepping aside to be replaced by Clinton, he is after all, our first black president. He would have chances at many of the troubled babes that need counseling, and the money seems to be outstanding. Not only will he be able to keep himself in the public eye, but will be in position to demagogue every policy that GW espouses.

Jimmy Johnson used a .38 caliber pistol on his first kill that night, and he didn't even have to leave his front porch to do it.It took him all of three rounds. The first two caught his victim from behind--once in the rear, and once in the hand. But they weren't fatal. Johnson knew that because he had gone back inside and sat down at his kitchen table, blood-splattered, and could still hear his victim moaning in agony from the porch.So Johnson walkd back out and delivered one last deliberate round--straight through the forehead of Deputy Sheriff Les Roark.REST of ...

The URL was too long to type so I will paraphrase the article. A commercial planned for the Super Bowl by PETA has been refused as an ad. The 30 second spot was considered activism, and therefore not allowed. You can view this commercial at This location.

John Conyers stated in radio interview that under voting rights umbrella, he will challenge the validity of GW's victory. He also stated that he would do the same thing if Gore was ahead. He said he would come in on the side of Bush. ROFLMWAO

Now is the time for action, it would have been better if he didn't allow this to go this far. but that is neither here nor there. Send in the law, take physical control of the ballots that are "under counted" and transport them to a neutral site. Tell the media that is in the interest of fairness, and that the Democrats are stealing the election. Don't complain that maybe there is a problem, identify the problem, call it fraud, and act on it. These pregnant chads, are obviously being set aside to give the D's the win. They are ...

Being that all of the military overseas absentee ballots are signed by the voter, why not have the same done with all of the ballots cast in all of the states?There is nothing inherently wrong with being identified with your choices for representative or president. This would make it possible to match up the voter with his ballot, allowing recounts or checks of ballots for fraud. This solution is so simple, that it would scare the H out of the Democrats. How many convicts or illegals could be weeded out by this process? It would theoreticaly impossible to vote more ...

$1 Million Pot Tax Ignites FightMan ordered to pay, even though he was never arrested.A few months ago, police found 517 marijuana plants growing in an isolated hollow in Eastern Kentucky.Investigators suspected that 23 year old Charles Thomas Jr. who lived nearby in a trailer, was involved in cultivating the crop. But they were unable to get enough evidence to make an arrest, let alone secure an indictment, or a conviction, according to Thomas' lawyer.Nevertheless, Thomas owes the state a little more than $1 million, under a 1994 law that taxes marijuana dealers $1,000 a plant, and penalizes those that ...

"It could have been worse." So says the leader of the free world. When asked if he was disappointed in the breakdown in the Middle East peace, he responded. "If there had been no meetings at Camp David, the Palestinians would have had more pressure to unilaterally declare a state, so it could have been worse."That is the answer of a loser. When your car is involved in a collision, and half of the occupants involved die, it could have been worse. If your house burns to the ground, but the family dog gets out, it could have been worse.But ...

Ron Paul is one of my personal heroes, but he is not attending the Republican convention because he is in for the battle of his career. The libertarian politician turned Republican, states that the reason he is not in Philadelphia, is "he must be at home campaigning." He faces an uphill battle, as the national Republican party has decided that his race is not a high priority. The National Republican Congressional Committee, the NRCC, has not seen fit to back him financially. This happened in the last Senatorial campaign in Washington state. When the NRCC declined to support Linda Smith ...
