    Would Like to Order Today - Couple of quick questions:

    This is my first, ever home network....I was considering getting: D-Link DIR-655 XTreme draft-N Gigabit Router - Retail - $119 But I've read what it can do, and I really think it is WAY overkill. I just need a home wireless router - at most I could see me having 3 computers online at once...

    Penryn release?

    Offtopic tangentally - but in regards to my original post: Just read this thread http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1270893 Now I'm thinking maybe not the Abit - really don't need that problem. What is the expected improvment from teh Q6600 for the refreshed Penryns? Last I read...

    Penryn release?

    I was just going to start a thread on a similar topic - I've got my RAM/case/PS Was probably going to get a Abit P35-Pro board (RAM is Ballistix DDR2) - I havent been on the boards in a month or so and I had forgot if we might be close to the new releases - if they were months away was...

    Review: Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 on 8800GT (dialup beware!)

    At this risk of sounding stupid: Seems to me that someone should be buying reference boards - sans fans and cooling shrouds and aftermarketing these. I'd probabily happily pay a premium to avoid the risk of screwing up my card attempting this myself (not that I'm not going to do it, just...

    Have: DDR2 Ram - Need Mobo Help

    Thanks for the response - I've seen this board mentioned a few times - unless anyone has a better suggestion I'll just hunt up a [H]ot Deal on it and go with that. Now I just need the processors and hopefully a new NVidia GTX release before Feb and I'm good to go.

    Have: DDR2 Ram - Need Mobo Help

    OK I jumped a good deal a moth or so ago (still a decent deal on 4GB Crcuial Ballistix for $100) but now I've basically locked myself into using DDR2 RAM. I want to get a new quad core CPU when the new 45 nm chips become available (should be January yes?) Anyone have a reccomendation for a...

    HOT! Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 for $59.95 shipped

    I got my order in last week and they went "shipped" the next day. About my only complaint is they shipped both sets in a bubble wrap large envelope. Now I'm not terribly worried but since I wont be installing these stix for at least 2 months I DID have a concern that they were "flexed" while...

    Penryn and DDR2

    OK - I've been scouring the [H]ot deals forums for a bit now and I've picked up a nice case, power supply and 4GB of DDR2 Ram (Crucial Ballistix) - I was planning on waiting for Penryn processors in Q1 before buying a mobo and CPU - and for some reason I suddenly couldnt remember if Penryn will...

    HOT! Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 for $59.95 shipped

    2 sets (4 sticks) on the way - these deals are driving my new build WAY faster than I had intented but if I'm going to be getting stuff for 50% of what I thought I was going to have to save... well,... why the hell not. So far [H] has netted me a case, PS and RAM - was kinda gonna wait for...

    Video Capture from a Hi8

    My current card is a Radeon 9800Pro - truth be told I havent even looked at the back of it to determine if it has an input - I just (stupidly) assumed that it didnt. Will go home tonight and take a peek... Am I to understand that some (maybe future) 8800 GT's might have this capability...

    Video Capture from a Hi8

    Hey, I think this belongs here but I could be wrong - if it should be moved please let me know - or if you have the power just go ahead and do so :) I have a Hi8 video camera that was given to us ~9 yrs ago when my first daughter was born. Most of the important events of the past 9 years...

    Minimum PSU for dual 8800GT?

    Remember the PSU is powering the entire computer - 400W is the baseline (in this case) assuming you're already powering you HD's, DVD's and other misc stuff off of 400W and arent already on the bleeding edge of what your PSU can handle then an additional 50W of padding is just to make sure the...
