    Upgrade or Start over

    Working with the system listed in the specs below in the sig - I'm not sure if I should bother upgrading within this framework or if I should move on to a board that supports the new Intel core architecture + DDR3 ... and perhaps more importantly, SLI of any variety. I know DDR2 is super...

    SLI on Intel Chipset w/ Current Drivers?

    Hey guys - system specs listed in the sig, but basically what I'm dealing with here is an Intel BadAxe2 motherboard using a single 8800GTS at the moment. I picked up another 8800GTS for $80 as a refurb on Newegg thinking that my board was SLi capable. As it turns out, and as most of you...

    MSI 6800 "Vanilla" User Impressions

    Well, I bit the bullet and purchased an Nvidia based gfx card. My recent gaming performance was falling somewhat short of my expectations. My 9800Pro ran games like Far Cry and Doom 3, but it did not run them well enough IMO. However, I decided with this generation that I didn't want to buy...

    6800 Vanilla to hold over till PCIe??? Help

    If you check out my sig, you'll see my specs. I'm thinking about replacing my 9800Pro with a 6800 Vanilla. I'd rather not spend $500 (or even $400) on a card this time out since I hope to be moving to an A64/PCIe setup in the spring. Thus, the 6800 would just be to hold me over until that...

    I'm looking to pick up an 6800 Ultra (preferably) or a 6800 GT today. Manufacturer doesn't necessarily matter all that much. I can't find any anywhere for 'non-gouging' prices (I'm not paying $800 for an ultra) - anyone suggest any "retail" locations to try? Or anywhere online that actually...

    172x to replace CPD-G420S?

    I'm thinking about getting myself a Samsung 172x to replace my Sony CRT on my main rig. You guys think it's a worthy replacement or should I wait another year or so? I'm not overly concerned with the loss of an inch in viewable size.

    Blurry corner on Sony CRT

    About 2 years ago, I was transporting my computer over to a little lan event and I took a corner a little too hard. As a result, my 19" Sony CPD-G420S took a dive off the seat of my van and wedged itself between the seat and the door. After quietly muttering a few explicit words, I stopped and...

    GearGrip arriving today

    I recently purchased a Samsung 152N. To help with portability (not much of an issue since it weighs about 6 lbs), I also ordered a case ace (www.caseace.com) gear grip for it - just to make sure that the screen is protected in transit. As soon as I get it, I'll let you all know what I think...
