    Incredibly unhappy with EVGA

    Though this might seem contradictory, I have had a few EVGA cards crap out on me, however, EVGA has been VERY easy and fast on the RMA, not to mention the free upgrades. Bought an 7800GT in '05, it started failing about 2 years later, it was swiched out for an 8800GT. About 2 years later, that...

    Philosophical Question

    Thanks all for the posts. @rdqlus - i have always been an EVGA fan, specifically for their warranties. I originally purchased an 8800 GT, which broke 2 years later and they gave me a 9800 GT in its place, which then broke about 3 years later and they switched out for my current 450 GTS...

    HTPC CPU

    I will just reiterate what was already posted. Currently have an AMD X2 Athlon with a 5450 and my receiver currenlty does not decode HD. I will tell you that my HTPC set up sounds WAY better than my PS3 hooked to the same system playing a Blu-ray disc.

    Philosophical Question

    SLI Questions

    mATX Board with AHCI

    Though i have experience building a computer, it was some time ago. I am no expert and can only go off of other people's comments. Here is an example of a Zotac and Gygabyte board that both had a lack of AHCI support through SATA. They could be wrong, but I just need to find out for sure how...

    mATX Board with AHCI

    I am currently trying to build a inexpensive <$500 HTPC with the current build below. The problem is that i am thinking of using a SSD as the main HDD for both sound and speed benefits. However, I am a little new to the AHCI interface and the benefits as well. I have come to the conclusion...

    Notebook Shopping

    Yeah. In my findings i did find that the 1705 was the best bet thus far but my knowledge is pretty limited to hp and dell. The 17'' screen, though more expensive is actually a necessity. I guess when it comes down to it, are those really my best option. Are there any other Sites that are good...
