    RMA'ing vidcard, need advice

    I've got a defective card from newegg, and I wanted to know where I should send it Newegg or EVGA. Shipping costs are a concern, so I wanted to know if anyone in the Northeast who has returned something to newegg could tell me if they make you send it all the way to California or if they have...

    320MB 8800 GTS Spotted in the Wild

    http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/11803 If CompUsa is selling for $349 I think it's reasonable to assume we'll see this card for $299 online in the near future. w00t!

    Won't be drooling over 3007 anymore...

    I just stumbled upon the attractively priced Canon SX50 projector, the only affordable native SXGA+ projector on the market. http://www.protechprojection.com/inc/pdetail?v=1&pid=4728 The specs are righteous: 1400x1050 native, 1000:1 contrast, 2500lumens. I know the res isn't as...

    Don't EVER buy a ChiefMax!

    In my case, the old adage "You get what you pay for" rang painfully true. As I was plugging in my 550watt "CheapMax" PSU bought from 3btech.net for $16, the damn thing sparked, crackled, and blew up. All I did was PLUG IT IN. The laughable part is the conspicuous QUALITY CONTROL sticker on...

    My comp just bit the dust...

    So I was playing "Call to Power" on the system in my sig, and it abruptly shut off. I tried hitting reset, and then the power button; no dice. The LED on my mobo is still lit, and my USB ports are still getting power, so I don't think its the PSU. Damn thing won't turn on at all, no post...

    Screensavers no longer necessary?

    thought just occurred to me: aren't screensavers pointless with LCD displays, given that there is no phosphor burn??

    Are truly silent PC's actually possible?

    Okay, I recognise that you can water cool pretty much everything inside your box, but what do you do about the noise from the PSU fan?

    R520 to be 16 pipe, 700mHz core???

    More fuel for the rumour mill, from GD Hardware's coverage of IDF : http://www.gdhardware.com/events/idf/fall_2005/003.htm "We've met with several industry insiders who claim that the R520 is nothing more than a 16 pixel pipeline GPU that'll be clocked at 700MHz and that NVIDIA has a...

    Is there something "more" to the G70 core??

    http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050803_190412.html Okay I know it's an old news blurb, and it's from Tom's :rolleyes: , but I haven't seen this news discussed in the forum. Is it possible that there is some DX10 functionality hidden in the G70 core that will be "exposed" upon the...

    45nm in 2006???

    http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=25512 Okay I know it's the Inq, but it's nice to speculate... Here's hoping we get some good news confirming this at IDF.

    Dell a possible indicator of R520 potential??

    I'm not very familiar with Dell's policy on the speed with which they adopt new technology in their XPS line, but it just occurred to me that it seems rather odd that they have not included the 7800GTX as an option in their "state of the art" XPS lineup. I've always sort-of understood that big...

    Buy Prescott 2.8 @ 533, or 800fsb???

    Okay here's my thinking... after intel gets their yields right, typically the bottom end processors make for the best overclockers relative to their price. Soooo... with an IS7-E, do you think I'd be better off buying the 533 or 800 fsb part? My reasoning is thus... the 533fsb part has a...
