Just got my 680 today and it arrived DOA =(. Won't even post to BIOS when in my PC. Now I have to go through a long RMA process with Newegg.

How about investing in bringing FIOS to more locations before adding stupid 3d gimmicks. I agree though, everyone I have talked to hates 3d, including myself. All I know is I need to go in business if this really takes off for those stupid glasses because I can foresee it now people breaking...

I enjoyed the game a lot. Thought it was pretty fun and entertaining. I didn't play it on the PC(played it on the xbox 360) but for 10 dollars I feel like it's well worth it. I could see the controls being a little picky with a mouse though.

Sims tends to be a favorite. Also, Peggle is a great game that's easy and has a bunch of colors that she might like =).

Ha I may take pictures of it later, haven't gotten around to it. I am holding onto the 9800 for now. Still deciding if I should use it for a HTPC in the near future. You seem pretty interested in it, are you looking to buy one?

Sorry to re-bump this thread. But my build came and got it all together. No problems(besides cutting my hand on the heatsink =)) on first boot YAY!. Anyways I have looked at my temps and they are around 28-40 degrees so I do plan to do some OCing. With the Power Supply being a 650TX, will I...

Was coming here to recommend this too. This worked for me when I had the issue. Does any1 know what the direct cause of the issue is? I thought it may have be only an onboard sound issue, but I had this problem with my Audigy as well. Could it be that I have a 5.1 setup and route my MIC...

That's the thing, I don't think it may be worth the time and money. Plus, like tiraides said it is iffy to get it to work. I probably will just hold off on that until there is something that is more reliable, if there every will be, damn you Nvidia! Thanks guys.

Yeah I probably will OC it soon, I just haven't read enough into overclocking to feel comfortable doing it, but you have to start somewhere I guess. If I try to run the 9800GTX with the 5870 and it isn't enough power. Will the PSU just cut out on me, or is there a chance it could actually fry...

The first thing I told myself I was going to buy when I graduated college and found a job was a nice PC. Well that time has finally come. Now, I have already ordered this, so I don't expect to change it(yeah I was too anxious), unless I screwed something up of course. My case and PSU are...

I ended up buying (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127063)...didn't really help. I now I can move the router 5-8 more feet closer than I could before, sweet! /sarcasm Positioning the antennas hasn't helped either, nor has switching channels. Like you stated joblo, I am...

No I dont use any wireless mouse or keyboard. Yeah I have tried moving antennas, didn't help too much. The only thing that worked was moving the bridge to about 5ft away from the main router. Since then I have had no problems. And I am fine with only one connection at a time. If I am...

It gets about only 2 bars...so fair. I am guessing it could be the antenna on the routers since I have tried boosting the signal through the settings but can't really get it, so I think I am going to go buy one. My question for that is, should I buy an antenna for just the main router, or for...
