I just went and bought a Logitech G7 for my desktop 3 days ago. This mouse really beats my 3 year old wireless optical mouse. I really think that you need to purchase a "Laser" mouse instead of a "Optical" mouse. The G7 has 3 settings for DPI, with the highest being 2000dpi. The G7 also came...

I thought I'd write a review on my experience purchasing / using my 2x VeIocity Micro Campus Edition machines. Online Ordering: I thought their website was well thought out and pretty much self explanatory. It only took me about half an hour to figure out what I wanted to purchase. I was...

I'd recommend a Velocity Micro Hoilday edition system. This may be a little more than your $700 limit however you'd be able to upgrade your video card / RAM at a later date...

I was wondering if anybody has benchmarked or ran their machine with 2GB and then upgraded to 4GBs. Is the added cost of upgrading your system to 4GBs of RAM worth the preformance gain? I'm running my system with 2048MB Corsair™ DDR2 PC5300 DDR667 (2x1024). Let me know if I should save my...

You bring up a good question in this thread... I also asked myself the same thing last month when I was in the market to buy a (2x) new computers. What I ended up doing was looking at several of the benchmarks for computers in each of these ranges. It is obvious that the more you are willing to...

I was wanting similar functionality out of a mouse to further my WoW experience. I ended up looking at several setups but decided a mouse in my right hand and a Nostromo (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6184764&st=n52&type=product&id=1067389784805) in my left hand was a better fit...

Which WoW server do you play on? I'm on Llane on the Alliance side... Maybe I'll see you in a cross server PvP area and we'll see whom has the last laugh :cool:

Your new machine will probably make you one of those people whom don't lag in WoW. :p Since my new VM machine isn't going to ship for 2 more weeks I picked up some of the WoW TCG cards this weekend. It's not the same as the video game but about as close as you can get without a new machine.

Unfortunately, that's what I was afraid of... I think that there is a difference between advertising as (filling the blank) and not advertising as (filling the blank). This isn't a deal breaker for me by any means but without reading in between the lines on this issue the consumers wouldn't know...

Randy and Chris, You both mentioned that the Campus Edition was sold and designed to be a good system for a great value. Nobody in this forum would argue with that statement :) Can one or both of you please tell us if the DP965LT mobo is OCable? Yes, we know that the Campus Edition wasn't...

Basically, flashing your motherboard is what it's called to update your system with the lastest fireware from Intel. It basically going to give you some options which weren't in the origional setting for your motherboard (IE: OCing ability). That link above is a forum of people whom all have...

I'm sure this is frowned upon however this other forum talks in detail about this exact motherboard and OCing: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=29&threadid=1908407&frmKeyword=&STARTPAGE=14&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear I gave it a quick read and it seems reasonable. Let m...

It will be interesting how much VM changes the Vector Campus Edition vs. the Vector Holiday Edition. With my luck it will have more upgrades at a better price than the Campus Edition I just purchased... Granted the Holiday Edition hasn't been released yet can you give us an idea of the key...

From what I have read about the DP965LT motherboard Chris is correct. This board wasn't orginionally intended for OCing, however over the last couple of month Intel has added serveral BIOS updates which now include utility prompts to allow OCing. If you flash your BIOS to the most recent release...

Chris. can you tell us why VM took the Campus Edition out of your line up? Was it just intended as a back to school offer or was there another reason. If you can't tell us that's ok, but I figured I'd ask. I'm just glad I finally pulled the trigger and bough two of these the evening before they...
