I'm in the exact same boat. This is so lame. There has to be a way around this...

OP- You might want to change the thread title to new price. Also, sorry to hear about your car :/

I know ram is inexpensive as an upgrade, so it's enticing. I currently have 4gb of ballistix (ugh!) and I decided against adding 4 more for the time being. Main reason is because I didn't want to risk wasting 2-3 weeks of my time fixing potential issues with the new sticks (compatibility...

Very nice setup, OP!

You have no idea what you're talking about. Go do some research before you pollute the thread. Thanks.

I've received over $700 (mostly the HP home store deal) in cashback from live without any major issues. The only snag I had with them was when it took over 30 days to receive the check after they said they sent it to me. Now, the best way to do it is via paypal.

I get around 30 feet with my jawbone 2 and iphone 3g. So, I don't think the issue is with the iphone.

Yeah, I don't get it. What the hell is Nvidia thinking not dropping prices?? I'm seeing deflation everywhere else except at Nvidia! I'm hoping for a gtx285 around $275, but losing my patience quickly.

I have the same MB and no crackling issues with my x-fi xtremegamer.

I thought the same, but it worked for me. Good luck man!

hehe. I was going to ask the same question.

This is what I did in Vista and it worked, but not for Windows 7 :confused:

bump

Run Run Run!!! :)

Bump for a big-ass case :)

I'm not sure I would sell a GTX 280 (and probably take a loss on it) just because I can't use W7 yet. Just hang in there for now and use Vista. Vista 64 works just fine with the registry fix and plays my games without any problems. You're right W7 is "cleaner" than Vista though.

Val- You're absolutely right and that's why I'm frustrated. I'm pretty sure MS knows about it, but if it's not a HUGE problem, they won't care enough to fix it. Everybody points fingers at the other guy (MS vs. Nvidia vs. monitor manufacturer.)

I'm not sure that MS recommended the registry tweak in Vista so they might be hesitant to do so for Windows 7. :confused:

My bad...I meant Windows 7 in place for Vista. I fixed the problem in Vista. Sorry for the confusion.

Well, I uninstalled Nvidia drivers (181.22) and reinstalled them...Problem still there. I spent 30 minutes on google through the link Snow provided and most threads pointed to uninstalling graphics drivers and reinstalling...It didn't work though.

Yup...I've got a thread on this issue as well. The only way to run Vista in native resolution for me is to uninstall the Nvidia drivers through add/remove programs.

Thanks Snow. Sounds like it's a Nvidia Driver issue. Time to uninstall and install a different set and see if that works. I'll post back my results.

Can it "run" the latest games? Yes. Will you enjoy the latest games being run at the "highest" settings? No. For example: Far Cry 2 at 1680 resolution, 2xAA, Very High settings is enjoyable. At 8xAA, HELL NO!

Same issue here on the LG246WP monitor. Overscan like a mofo in Windows 7. Registry hack worked for Vista 64, but not for Windows 7...I've tried it. Still waiting/looking for a solution to a problem we shouldn't have. :(

"Firefox has stopped working...A program caused Firefox to stop working..." Error detail from Event Viewer (FIREFOX): Faulting application firefox.exe, version 1.9.0.3257, time stamp 0x4934ead8, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x4791a783, exception code...

Tried disabling add-ons (except WMP) in IE and still running in to the problem in both browsers (IE/Firefox)

I know you ran memory tests, but take out one stick of RAM and try to reboot again. If it doesn't boot, take out another stick. I know it sounds weird, but try it anyways. It worked for me.

Incorrect. WMP11 is built in to Vista 64 and is not listed as one of the programs/components you can add/remove. Thanks though.

I respectfully disagree.

Peter is right. BYU is known nationwide as a great school to get an MBA at. I've met many BYU grad's (and most are successful) There might be a correlation.

Will they be pumping the cheap Victoria's Secret stripper spray in the theatre too? Hmm...

GF would get pissed off when I played FC2 MP and ignored her. So, I got her in on the action and she loves it. Bottom-line, get them involved if they haven't tried it out before. BTW- This girl is the last girl in the world that would play computer games...Think "TheHills" on MTV. :)

Yup. I've tried the latest codec packs as well as latest drivers for mobo/video card. I hate MS for not allowing an uninstall for WMP11 (among other things!) -Thanks though.

-bump- Anyone with any info? It sucks to not be able to stream WMP11.

I have a BFG GTX 260 and have no issues (other than overscan in Windows 7.)

Yeah...too bad ATI and Nvidia don't want to get off their collective asses and fix these damn issues! /rant
