I really think we need to get more usefull topics here to attract more members. One idea I had was something similar to a buyers guide. However, instead of just listing different configuration for different budgets I want to cover each component in depth so the people reading can actually learn something. It could be kind of considered a big FAQ or something, covering Intel v. AMD, what CPU's would be the best choice and the same for other components. If somebody is building a new system they should be able to gain a lot from this.

What do you guys think?

I think other people should start thinking of ideas for guides too.

I was thinking we need some more stuff to attract members also.  Maybe like an overclocking guide also.  

It should be different topics that go in-depth of each part of the computer you buy.  The posts on this forum go up quickly but the member count goes up incredibly slow.

I think both of you have very good ideas. For overclocking, we can start with a How to Use RivaTuner guide. Anyone want to do it? If not, I can.

Predator, do you mean using RivaTuner to overclock your video card or just a whole guide covering all of its features? I can do a video carrd overclocking guide.

I meant using RivaTuner to overclock a video card. If you can do it, that would be great. :)

It would be good if we could all write a guide to building systems in general, covering things like buying the components, precautions, configuring mainboards, different types of hard disks and such to use, cpu installation, memory types and installation, wiring, bios configuration, disk configuration, os installation, huge troubleshooting guide.. etc..

Sounds good. Building a big FAQ like that would be a big job though. Maybe more than one person should work on it?  I'd be willing to help.

Sure, each person can do a specific part, and then we can combine everything and check for accuracy, etc.
