Yes the ad writters often make mistakes. Though in this case I can see how he made a mistake. Max memory is 8gb according to msi, yet there are 4 slots.
And while the motherboard is rated up to 1200mhz for memory that doesn't mean you can run it faster than what the board is rated for...

Yes each ad is different. But usually they are differences by a district basis, and the ad is usually the same 98% of the time. Furthermore there seems to be less differences recently than the previous 2 years.

It would be an upgrade, but a marginal upgrade. While I don't like this review site they compared the 940 directly to the q6600

With physX the thing to care about is shader power, you want the most possible but at least 64 since batman aa. The 9500gt stinks for it only has 32 shaders, the gt240 is the best physx card out their under the 9800gt for the gt240 has 96 shaders and the 9800gt has 112 shaders.
The gt240 is...

I am just going to do 1 big thread this week. If you prefer one format or another just tell me. I am running low on time, so I will edit my posts with more information later.

How do I lock this thread since the deal is dead? I see the edit/delete button and I click on that, but I don't see a delete/lock option. I also don't seen an option under advanced.
They made a mistake and put 1 year on the website and it was really 3 months. Several people in the SD website called and confirmed the warranty, and tigerdirect said we made a mistake and they fixed that listing. Note now that they have more in stock they put up the 3 months warranty for that...
Really good deal started today (if you already have extra ddr2 memory around.), is good for wednesday/thursday. Thus most people only have 1 day left.

Think of it this way. Reverse the scenario. All video cards have a 3 month warranty. But vendors are willing to offer an extended warranty for 30 bucks (ZZF has an XFX for 299 currently). Would you buy the extended warranty on your video card? A good portion of Hard people wouldn't...
Currently nvidia surround (nvidia's tripple monitor gaming) is not supported. It is supposedly be relased in april, but we only got a few days left of april. Who knows when we will see the driver that will enable this feature.

4770 and 4850 are about the same performance. 4850 barely faster in most games at stock. 4770 is better overclocker and has better thermals and power consumption. I would get the 4770 if it was me.

This, it is known fact that HP is one of the places that cancels cash back when you use a coupon code. Only time it doesn't work is when someone screwsup on HP end.
Doesn't make sense for me either. You can get the Quadro 380 (9400gt) for $119 at frys (still low profile). Or the Quadro 580 (9500gt) for $149 at frys. So why is the inferior product fetching $125 at the cheapest online is beyond me.
For some comparison

This is the quadro version of the 8400gs. And this "dedicated solution" is as fast as onboard video of the 8200, 8300, 9200, 9300 and 9400 of nvidia. The 3200, 3300, and 4200 of ati. Or the new I3/I5 versions of Intel HD.
Now in theory the quadro will be faster with adobe photoshop, maya...

On another semi-related note, I am out of the loop for ram prices (prices shouldn't go up :mad: ), both deals seem cheaper than similar gskill memory (cheap but good) on the egg, but are these good deals for memory?

I agree about the wire management and dust filters but this will be the best case and the best air flow you can get for 50 dollar (after rebate). You have to live with sacrafice at this price point. Want a better case and you will have to pay more.
You can make cheap dust filters.
