How dare you....don't you know you are not supposed to make any sense when talking politics.

I wish more people could see things the way they are instead of blindly following a political party just cause it's their party. I strongly feel the problem is us not them. We elect them and we let them get away with all their crap.

Wow, this thread (not surprisingly) shows how so many people are blinded to what their "side" is doing as long as they beat the other side.

I hate to say it, but Obama is a horrible president, pretty much on par with the guy who came before him, and the previous two also. But I know 2 of those guys were alright, which ones depend on which side you chose to believe.

Now I am not some conspiracy nut, I don't think they are ran by some corporation from some dark room. But I do feel that WE are the problem. How many people here know who there representatives are, local, state, and national? I am sure some do, but face it, most people voting would have voted for Hitler if he had the right letter next to his name. Very few people check up on their elected officials to make sure they are keeping their word.

Obama might have been better than Romney, but you will never convince me that there is not someone out there WAY better, white, black, purple, male, female, gay, straight......I don't care. Just someone I feel I can actually trust.

My dad is so pro Obama it makes me sick, I always find my self being the devils advocate around him trying to make him see the problems with that guy. Then the guy I work with is a right-wing nutcase (I say that with love as that's what he calls himself.) I find myself doing the exact opposite with him, Trying to tell him what was really being said not just the 15 second sound bite he heard on FOX news.

I use AIDA64. You can have the temps reported in the taskbar, sidebar, or on the LCD screen on a keyboard if you have one.

I use it with my G19 and like being able to monitor everything I want in game.

[QUOTE="kraken2109"] I can find out the specific programs if it would help, but he was running them on an Intel Core 2 duo rig with 2 GB RAM, that handled everything fine. He swapped out the dual core for a quad core when I had en extra one laying around. It still works just fine, but he wants his weather PC to do nothing but run his weather stuff.

It's hard to say since we have no idea what the software is like, what is he running it on at the moment and how does it run?

My dad wants to build him another PC to use solely for his weather station stuff. It does not need to be top of the line, but he would like good performance for a decent amount of time down the road.

There will be no gaming, to my knowledge there are a few semi demanding forecast programs that will run a few times a day, but he may want to add something more demanding later and would like it to be as prepared as possible.

He is interested in SSD, but thinks it might be more than it is worth...

There is no real budget, but the cheaper the better. I was looking at some AMD CPU's but not sure if quad or six core would be better. Also I have no clue on what are good motherboards for what he wants.

Open to any and all suggestions, I have just been wasting too much time on newegg building countless builds and just can't narrow anything down.

**EDIT**

He will need a case and Windows and all that good stuff, but I can add that myself, but feel free to give suggestions if you wish. Thanks.

I have two sticks 4GB running at 1600MHZ. I take it that's what being displayed, correct?
