Oh god, I keep seeing this card being mentioned everywhere on pc forums. "Don't get an 8800, wait for the 9800 GTX it's twice as good and it's coming out in November." Come on people, don't believe everything you read...

Hmm, I was thinking about getting the DDTS-100. The only thing is that I know the product is a couple years old. Do products like this become outdated? I'm just trying to figure out what the "best" solution is. I don't know if things like decoders become obsolete as quickly as other things like...

If I wanted to use these speakers with one of my consoles (mainly Xbox 360) what would I need to hook them up properly? http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=113&product=9306 I have an adapter that connects the standard red-white to green-orange-black (sorry...

Which is the formal procedure?:confused:

Only 4-5 hours after my 8800 GTX I ordered from NCIX shipped, all the 8800s went on sale. The 8800 Ultra is now only $30 more than what I paid for my GTX. I got in touch with NCIX and they told me if I ship it back unopened I can get a full refund and use that for purchasing an 8800 Ultra. Is it...

I just got my new Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATAII 500GB because my old WD Caviar 120GB SATA drive was always full. However now that I have my new drive, should I still use my old drive? Or should I just install my OS on the newer, larger drive and uniquely use that one? Or maybe format my...

Man I'm still pretty confused...if I upgraded would I see much of an improvement running at 1920x1200 (native res of my new monitor). I was beginning to understand that at higher resolutions cpu doesn't have much effect at all after looking at a couple benchmarks demonstrating such. Am I...

Is it true that at higher resolutions (I plan on playing at 1920x1200 on my 24" widescreen) your cpu will have very little impact on your performance? If that's the case I guess upgrading right now would be pointless.

Any input?

Hmm, I might be able to sell my current system for $800 (minus video card and my better optical drive). So I'd need a new case and psu. Should I go for it? My new system would be something like: Asus P5K Deluxe Intel C2D E6750 Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 PC2-8500 2x1GB CL5-5-5-15 Thermalright...

I guess I should go ahead and upgrade eh? I'll just put my old parts in another comp. Any motherboard and RAM suggestions? I'm leaning towards a P35 board seeing as I don't need SLI. Something that will overclock well. I was thinking an Asus P5K (either Deluxe or not) and some Crucial Ballistix...

I definitely don't plan on going SLI, there doesn't seem to be any need with the 8800 series, especially GTX and Ultra. Alright, I guess i'll get me that Ultra :D

So similar to this, would an Enermax Noisetaker 600W (SLI-Ready) PSU be able to handle an 8800 Ultra?

Would this be a good choice to go with an E6750/E6850? Anyone know if it overclocks well? It has support for the 45nm Penryn cpus that are supposed to come out end of year from Intel as well as DDR2/DDR3 support for when DDR3 finally becomes affordable. I don't like to upgrade very often (every...

I'm wondering if, with all the really nice new sale prices, I should upgrade my system? I've just placed an order for an EVGA 8800 GTX as well as a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATAII 500GB hard drive (both shipped today), and that's all I was going to upgrade at first. However, I'm debating...
