    I’m really confused what to choose , the logitech new G15 or Microsoft Sidewinder X6 . I already excluded some due to large size (G11 and old G15) My first priority is durability. I read some comments that logitech G15 keys get loose and Microsoft keyboards letters fade out early, if anyone...

    Help needed in the 20-22 range!

    Going 20" instead of 22" will decrease bleeding effects? It seems most 22" are TN , i don't mind the 2" if i can get a better panel at 20" , can anyone recommend one if they exist? Please no CRT or 19x10 LCDs unless you can send me a 9800GX2 :p Thanks in advance

    9800GTX Prices leaked out... $300 - $360

    After reading how things work 256 bit = 32 bytes 32 bytes * 2200 MHz = 70.4 GB/s you can go wrong with one info but not a typo with both 2200 and 256! or if 256 bit is the typo nearest to 128 GB/s is 448 bit but it doesn't sound right to me for a price of ~300$

    Need advise on mobo and ram

    Since your considering an ASUS motherboard--> ASUS claims that most of its p35/x38 motherboards support 1600 fsb with bios updates, so if you get your 800 DDR2 MHz RAM x 2 Dual Channel = 1600 FSB you can make sure if you ever need to over clock , your RAM will handle the motherboard's max...

    ~$800 Bucks, what to do? :)

    DDR3 not that bad as it used to be , high performance plat edition OCZ DDR3 - 1333 - 2 Gbs for 250$ compared to 70$ DDR2 - 800 , however you can go Intel DX38BT mobo for 230$ vs Asus X38 280$ this somehow makes the ram 250$ ddr3 vs 120$ ddr2... double price!

    Q9450 or Q6600

    Aren't these 4 MBs extra cache on Q9450 better than having an avg. overclock difference of 350 mhz for gaming? and SSE4 for video encoding? Not sure what are you using the quad for, but Q9450 looks better in both ways to me :p
