    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    Since it appears that ipv6 support can be enabled by virtue of software (firmware in this case), it's making me wonder whether ipv6 can/is also implemented in hardware. Perhaps it can and is in pricier equipment. That aside, I think I'll go with the bargain basement E3000 with the intent of...

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    Well it looks like ipv6 support for the E3000 is unclear at best. It does look like the E3200 does support it with the latest firmware, however the WRT-DD firmware cannot enable the 5Ghz channel at this time. This is definitely a showstopper for this alternative. So, it looks like I'd...

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    Looking for the most WRTable router possible. Upgrading from a 10 year old Linksys 54g workhorse. Found the Linksys E3000 which seems to be perfect for my needs, the only single gripe I have is it doesn't appear to support IPv6. Is there an equivalent router to the E3000 that adds IPv6 and is...

    LF: Radeon 4800 Series OEM fan replacement

    Would it really? It seems like the closed in, blow through OEM design works well. I actually dislike all aftermarket solutions because none of them exhaust the hot air out of the case. Perhaps I'm weird or wrong in my thinking. Anyone have a good working OEM fan they want to sell me? I...

    LF: Radeon 4800 Series OEM fan replacement

    I wasn't limiting my comment/idea to the video cooling industry. It's evident to me now there does not exist such a drop in replacement. However, if you take a look at the automotive industry, for example, you'll find 37 different companies that all make a nearly identical part for a...

    LF: Radeon 4800 Series OEM fan replacement

    ^ A lot of times aftermarket companies will make OEM style replacements. Here is their response: Our company, Althon Inc., is a logistic company handling warranty (RMA) service on Sapphire product on the Canadian territories. Regret to inform that, we only do warranty claim on...

    LF: Radeon 4800 Series OEM fan replacement

    BTW, why are these fans so hard to find? I expected to find them (or aftermarket replicas) for sale on Newegg!! You can imagine my dissapointment when I couldn't find them anywhere. It's like a conspiracy.

    LF: Radeon 4800 Series OEM fan replacement

    Yeah and I got a lady I could hardly understand, but she referred me to an email "rma@althon.com" to send an email to, so I did that, requesting to purchase a replacement fan. I'm awaiting a response.

    LF: Radeon 4800 Series OEM fan replacement

    I thought this would be easy to find. Alas, my searches have been un-successful. I simply need an OEM replacement fan for a 4890 but I can't find one anywhere. Is it known that these are hard to find? If so, why? Thank you,

    Best single slot card?

    I also have this same question... 'best single slot video card?'. It appears the 9800GT is it for the NVidia camp. I've had Nvidia cards since doing away with my Voodoo2 8MB card in 2000 :) But I am now considering ATI cards. My question, which is related, is, which manufacturer is best...
