    Was that a special offer coupon or some student discount or something else entirely?

    Cheap replacement for Ti4600

    By the way, I'm now pretty sure that the card was the culprit. I hadn't tried before, but I tested booting into safe mode. While I was able to see the display, it appeared very oddly with yellow vertical lines and various other discolorations spaced across the display. Just to try something...

    Cheap replacement for Ti4600

    Thanks again to all. For the additional $8, I will probably go with the Sapphire 256MB 9600. As I said, I will be reaplacing the system within a year and I don't do all that much PC gaming these days. Most of my new game purchases these days are console based simply because of where my new...

    Cheap replacement for Ti4600

    Yes, I am replacing a card I think is bad. I think the 9600 might be my best bet. Out of curiosity, for $8 more I see Newegg sells the same card but with 256MB vs 128MB. You can see that card here. Any real benefit for the additional $8? Thanks again to all. Jeff

    Cheap replacement for Ti4600

    Thanks for the help. I feel like a complete idiot but I guess accidents happen. Now I need to make sure that I get it from a place I can return to in case the card turns out not to be the problem.

    Cheap replacement for Ti4600

    Ok, I have a 3 year old machine that I will be replacing late this year or early next. To be honest, it doesn't get too much use, but I do use it for a few things. Anyways, I was clumsy and knocked over the case while it was sitting on a concrete floor Immediately after, the system seemed...

    Data verification tools?

    Ok, I probably should have looked into this before I did the copy, but I can do it over if need be. I have a large amount of data (~60GB across 1000s of files) that I copied from one external drive to another. At some point, I will be retasking the source drive thus making the original files...

    Reasonable Custom PC Builders

    So, I just don't have time to build a PC. I'm not looking for a gaming rig so I don't need to go to one of those specialists. I seem to recall a custom PC builder who was a good bit more reasonable than Falcon, Alienware, etc. I visited there sight months ago but can't remember the name. I...

    Sony 23" LCD

    Well, Sony's recent addition to their LCD line doesn't get talked about much here, mostly because of the initially high price tag ($2599). The replacement for their previous 23" is the new SDM-P234/B which seems to have the same panel as HP's 2335 and Apple's New 23" ACD. Thankfully, the folks...

    The New Apple Cinema Display !!!!!!!!!!! maybe my 2001FP will go!

    Any problems seeing the post-boot BIOS screens? Some PC users on the Apple forums have reported an inability to see anything displayed prior to the XP splash screen. Any issues with this?

    New Apple Cinema Display with 6800

    I've searched through some of the threads and was wondering if anyone has paired a new 23" Apple Cinema dsiplay with a 6800 card yet? since they're both so new I figured the chance was low, but since that's the pairing I'm considering on my new PC, I just wanted to see if anyone had done it and...

    So when will SLI be available?

    Shorty, thanks for the clarification on the PCI X nomenclature. Hopefully, as we get closer, the time question will be answered. My only concern is waiting til then to build a system including it only to find out that it's been delayed.

    So when will SLI be available?

    I've been looking into building a new system, but it looks like nvidia's upcoming SLI implementation may be worth waiting for. Theoretically, the ability to use 2 cards to run a single monitor can extend the life of the system and therefore limit the need to upgrade. Seeing as how I'm looking...

    How beneficial is raptor for XP?

    I see a lot of people talking about building or having systems with a raptor as their primary drive for XP and a 7200 drive for data storage. How beneficial is having that extra speed for the XP install? I was considering a single SATA 250GB drive with a separate EIDE 7200 80GB drive brought...
