They just need to stick it in a time machine and release it a year ago.

Hard to benchmark a paper launch. What I've seen so far has left me unimpressed, considering how long ATI has held off on releasing product. Nvidia's refresh is right around the corner.

I pulled out two BFG 7800GTX 256MB and replaced them with an XFX 8800GTX. The performance advantage in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Oblivion is obvious. It is called dialing everything up to the highest notch while running at 1920x1200 without any issues, which wasn't the case with 7800GTX SLI. The...

It all depends on the quality of the comb filter(s) in your TV. If you have a great comb filter, you won't see much difference between composite and s-video.

A question that pops into my head while thinking about this is: Is it even possible to create a full-featured SLI driver that conforms to the driver model in Vista?

What is the latest word on this? I'm still puttering around with 7800GTX SLI, I need it to work if I'm going to contemplate Vista.

So taking and holding control points is not an objective? So assaulting and/or defending consoles and reactors in 2142 isn't an objective? BF2 is entirely objective based, so I'm not really sure where you are coming from.

Only thing I'd ever remove is a particularly heavy heatsink. Anything else and you're probably adding more likelihood of damage than you're removing. Sounds more like they're afraid of theft than of damage. A couple top of the line videocards in SLI or Crossfire are often more money than...

...and you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Have you ever swapped a battery on a G7? Ever? I seriously doubt it. The process is trivial. Unless you're uber and never ever die or sit at a loading screen, you'll have ample time to switch the battery packs, it is a one-button push...

Me either, considering there is no reason to be in such a lather to get one right now. Is Wii Sports going to be any less fun a month from now? No. Is Zelda going to be any less fun a month from now? No. Are there any online gaming opportunities that might fade quickly that you'll miss if...

The plextors in my PC aren't even remotely as loud as the 360's drive. There has already been a link posted in this thread that shows proof of multiple drive models in the 360, and they went on to say that one brand drive is much louder than the other. ...or we could just buy ps3s, hehehe...

Loud. Mine sounds like it is going to self destruct when I'm playing Viva Pinata. I've heard anectdotal data that says it is quieter if you lay it flat than if you stand it up, sorta like wome.... err, nevermind. Anyways, I'll have to try that out whenever I find time between killing people...

Just curious, but why would you expect a PS3 to be magically enjoyable when you knew the release schedule ahead of time? it is like you guys were born yesterday or something and have never experienced a new console release. Launch libraries are always, ALWAYS small. It ALWAYS takes time for...

That might be because GoW isn't an FPS, lol. The game is third person, not first person.

As many have mentioned, you don't have to charge a G7. :p
