    NewEgg: Gigayte 8800GT (256meg) - $69.99 after MIR

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125089 Blah blah, only 256mg, I know. This will do just nicely for my 720P gaming HTPC.

    I am looking to buy a mouse for my laptop, but I can't figure out if I should get Bluetooth or USB. Which takes more power: Leaving bluetooth on (my laptop allows turning Bluetooth on seperately from internet) or Plugging in USB mouse (mouse uses USB power) My main concern is...

    is Barton too slow?

    I didn't know if I should put this in Processors or Video Cards but here goes: I have a Barton 2500+, overclocked to 2200, and I am thinking about upgrading the video card to one of the last generation AGP cards. It currently has a 9800pro, which just doesn't cut it anymore with modern...

    budget is open i need huge pro LCD.. ???

    If budget is no object I would go with 2 DELL 2405FPW . Granted, when gaming you will only use 1 monitor, very few games support dual monitors. But I highly suggest the 2 monitor setup over 1 big monitor. Productivity wise, 2 monitors is highly effective, I switched to 2 monitors at work 3...

    New Tomb Raider Legends... out Friday!!!

    I played the demo and was impressed. Looked pretty good(though could have used a little more shading effects), had neat physics and cool accessories (I like the indianna jones like graple hook). The last TR (Angel of Darkness) looked great and had a cool storyline, but Lara moved like she was...

    IPOD Nano or Creative Zen Micro? Help decide on a nice gift for my wife...

    go with the Ipod for her, unless your wife is a geek. Itunes is far more user friendly, and she will appreciate that greatly. Just be aware of a few things: 1) set Itunes to rip to MP3 format instead of AAC. That way if you want to buy something other than an iPod for yourself, you can...

    PCMCIA Soundcard Worth It?

    Yes you should notice better sound. I am no audiophile but I could notice it. Is sound quality all you are wanting? If so you may want to look at some other options. That is the real question: what are you hoping to acomplish with a new soundcard? The audigy is good if you want surround...

    MCE oddity

    I installed MCE a few weeks back and have been playing around with it. I got a Hauppage USB2 PVR with the MCE remote. I love the remote, its styling and makes accessing and moving around Media Center very easy (very wife friendly). There is just one real strange thing I have found: There...

    Audigy 2 ZS driver problem

    same boat here. I have the zs notebook and could only get the Creative Audio Console from the CD. To be honest Soundblasters site sucks for downloads, you pick your card and it gives you a billion downloads to choose from, in no particular order. And in this case what you are looking for...

    X-plosion is out woohoo!

    So . . . . Dolby Digital = 640kbps DTS= 1500kbps Good to know. Personally I am no audiophile, and don't know if I would be able to tell the difference. But I am a big proponent of "one cable to rule them all", I hate having to switch between my digital connection for movies and analog...
