    Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player + Heroes and more

    Brought the player, Heroes, Planet Earth, and Transformers to the register - the clerk rung up the total and I asked him about the promotion. He asked a manager walking by, and the manager said the deal was valid, but I couldn't pick up Planet Earth because "it's a documentary, not a movie"...

    Quad core sounds great but is it really usefull or just for bragging rights?

    Woah woah wait a minute, S[H]ady's post brought something up that may make me pull the trigger on the q6600. Right now I'm using my laptop, a C2D t7500, as a movie encoding machine - I use autogk to process lots of mpeg2's for work. (Going for the quick and dirty route since I have to work...

    Halo 3 actually runs 640p no matter what.

    Pardon my ignorance of the proper term (I think it was fill rate?), but I'll take a hit in resolution if it means amping up the textures and particle effects and other various things that make for good eye candy. It's nice if your game can crank out 1080p native, but if you just offer sterile...

    Going to BB tonight... got ?'s

    Wait, so Best Buy is doing a midnight release of Vista? Is this a nationwide thing, or does it vary store by store? First midnight launches of consoles, now midnight launches of operating systems - ah, it's good to be a geek...:p

    PS3 Linux Questions

    Well like I said, even if I sold the PS3 now, I'd get one eventually, whether it be a couple months or a even a year later. So if I can get some extra functionailty out of it immediately, then I'd rather keep it in case a game worth playing comes out soon, while at the same time using it to...

    PS3 Linux Questions

    For those familiar with Linux, I understand that the official yellowdog package is a variant of fedora. So in theory, if we were to install this on the PS3, we would get all the functions of a regular Linux box (like the ability to install apache, php, mysql, etc)? This will basically decide...

    Logitech Z-5450 $250 at CompUSA

    Also worth noting that I believe this comes with 2 optical ports, as opposed to the z5500's one. Not a big thing, but nice if you plan to hook consoles up to this. I have to swich out the optical cable in the back of the receiver everytime I go from my ps2 to xbox360 with my z5500's.

    Syntax Olevia, higher resolutions, and the 9700GTX.

    1366x768 is the max resolution for the syntax. If you set your pc resolution any higher, most likely the internal scaler on the TV will downsample it to 720p. It's a mixed blessing really - because you're forced to use that resolution, you're not pressured to get the latest graphic card...

    AK Rally Gaming Chair...?

    I believe it's all cushion. The sides also have slip pockets to store remotes and whatnot. The base is stable, it would take effort to slide it around if you pushed against the floor with your feet while sitting on it.

    AK Rally Gaming Chair...?

    They're pretty comfty - more cushioning than the Rocker series, obviously. It all depends on how much you move around when you're gaming. The back support is somewhat flexible, but for the most part you're going to sit down on it, and stay in a single position. When I'm gaming, I tend to...

    X800gto^2 Agp!

    Order checked out and confirmed, now to just sit and wait for it to arrive. Gee, you think this will be a step up from my 9500 pro? :p Though now I'll prolly need a new cpu and mobo, after I unlock the card my p4 2.4 might get scared...

    Syntax Olevia 32" LCD TV

    I own the previous generation of this (Same specs, this one has a chip that provides image enhancement of some sort if I'm not mistaken). I used some Sony LCD display driver, combined with powerstrip, after which I was able to get the 1366 x 768 resolution, no overscan whatsoever. YMMV with...

    9500 Pro Upgrade Path?

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes... I have a pretty old machine that's being used as an HTPC. First the specs: P4 2.4 Asus P4PE board (533 FSB) 768 Ram ATI 9500 Pro It's hooked up to an LCD TV right now, so my max res is 1368 x 768. It's served me well in the past 2...
