aint nobody got time for that! haha. ive already been waiting 3 months. Also, im one of those guys who doesnt ever buy the new version of anything. I like to let other people work out the bugs before i get to it!
I appreciate all the help guys, i ended up going with the Gigabyte R929WF3-4GD, i felt like it was a better value even though the XFX had a better warranty. I have dealt with Gigabyte RMAS on my motherboard before, and honestly it was pretty painless. And the $30 MIR wasnt bad either LOL
Looking to get a new video card, and i cant decide between the 2. Either is gong to be an upgrade but will the 290 make it so i dont have to upgrade for a year or so?
Thanks!
This seems like a really good deal with the games. What is the difference between the 290 and the 290x? is the price jump worth it? And do you think any of these will go down on black friday or cyber monday?
Alright so first things first, i've been out of the PC game for a long time, and i just built a pretty decent rig after doing a ton of research. I bought a cheap video card off craigs list which seems to be doing alright for what im playing, but i'd like to play some of the more current games at...
Alright, little update. It worked fine once they were both plugged in. But im pretty sure the power supply isnt quite enough for it. It's a 470w power supply, but its only powering the mobo and one (1tb) hdd. it was working that thing pretty good, it didnt ever hang or anything but it was...
So, it has 2 power connectors on the end of it - do they both need to be plugged in? i went to a local shop here in town and they only had 1 adapter cable left and told me that they only ever plug one of them in, and not both. seemed kind of sketch to me.
Thanks for the reply!
now i feel like a dumbass, i didnt know it needed extra power from the PSU. fml.. hahahah guess ill try that then get back to you!
ok, so first thing, ive been out of the computer game for a long time so sorry if this is a stupid question. im looking to build a new PC soon, but for now, to get me by i have this older computer that has a" D925XBC" mobo, and i bought a "SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 4870 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E" off...
So, heres the situation..
I ran out of space on my old HD, so i went out and bought a 1tb sata drive, pulled the old HDD out, and put windows xp media center just like i had on the old drive, onto the new drive.. It gets almost done and asks me for the windows sp2 disk, which i dont have...
Damn, i been out of the game for a long time.. lol i think my processor (without going home and looking at it) is a p4 3.0ghz dual core or whatever. hahaha
My TV is a samsung LN52A650 52" 1080p 120hz,
I'd plan on playing mostly shooters, nothing super graphic intensive i would imagine...
Whats up guys, havent posted here in a VERY long time.. but im back to ask for help! i have a pretty nice computer, with an OK video card in it, i dont use it for gaming or anything like that very often, pretty much just itunes and surfing the web, BUT, i'd like to convert it into a HTPC and add...
Okay, so i had the oooolllddd gaming adapter by linksys, and when i tried to connect to my computer via media center, it would connect, but wouldnt do much, no streaming at all. So i figured i needed more bandwidth between the xbox and the network because it said something about needing 100mbs...

I like itunes, its easy to use and simple BUT Itunes somehow isnt catching ALL of my music in my music folder, and when i say not catching all, i mean almost HALF (like 4000 songs) is missing on the ipod. I open up the same folder in winamp, and it shows all of them(right around 8,000 songs). Is...
