Than you have found yourself good value in turn making it a good deal. Personally I won't touch WMA at any kbps, but to each his own (I have heard that WMA can handle low bitrate better than MP3 and/or OGG...so you might be better off at that bitrate).

I have a tendency to just throw whole albums on there and work my way through them as I'm working out. I also put demos/singles on there to check out new or independent artists, which can entail a lot of skipping. Like I said, I have nothing against these players; I just find that 2GB isn't...

QFT... I encode all my CDs at 192 VBR mp3 with lame. I get a great sound but it does take between 75-100Mb depending on the length of the album. I used to work at a used record store so my CD collection is in the couple of thousand CDs range (really easy to do when you are paying $2-4 an...

Yes and No, VIVO = Video In Video Out Basically it has inputs for whatever you want to hook up to it, but it doesn't have a tuner. You could output it to your TV, but it will just be your desktop or whatever on the TV. I'm sure with the right software you could capture with it.

I've played Sandbox quite a few times. It is basically Gary's mod made multiplayer. Other than that I haven't touched any mods for BF2. http://labs.elxx.net/ <----Sandbox

And this is exactly why I won't outright discredit this game. I've heard this same exact thing from numerous people. Thanks for the honest opinion without the snipes. I'd give it a try for $20-30, but I have no Fry's locally.

Hey I agree with him here. When the largest game publisher on the planet decides they need to make extra money at the expense of their customers all I can see is greed. I've heard that they aren't all that intrusive, but that doesn't make it "right."

I don't know so much about this one. I really enjoyed BF2, more so than BF1 and Vietnam. It might have been an easier learning curve for me though, as I played little BF1 and quite a bit of Vietnam (and BF2 resembles Vietnam more than anything in my book). I can't say I play it much anymore, as...

I think he means Wolfenstein. :) In all honesty, back in the day they were all called Doom clones.

Yes and no. I have had this router for about a year and a half now and am on Comcast in MN. The QoS will keep my ping in the 100-150 range while running torrents, but I prefer to sit at 50-75 so I shut them off. If you are playing WoW you will never notice the differnece, if you are sniping in...

If you can't understand how higher resolution helps then I am not going to get anywhere in this conversation. I don't know what LCDs have to do with anything as I prefer the warmer feel of a CRT any day. If 1024 is fine by you then by all means stick with it. Call me when your HDTV blows your mind.

And again that is at low res with no AA and no AF I'm sure. Low resolutions don't stress the video cards, they stress the cpu more (that is why you turn on AA and AF, make the image look better while putting the math back on the GPU). Clock that CPU down to about 2.4 or so and try to tell me you...

Right off the F.E.A.R. website: Recommended Specifications: •Pentium(R) 4 3.0 GHz or equivalent processor •1 GB RAM •256 MB Radeon(R) 9800 Pro, GeForce(TM) 6600 or equivalent DirectX(R) 9 compliant video card with hardware T&L and pixel shader 2.0 support •Sound Blaster(R) X-Fi(TM)...

I would go with a definite no.

And there ya go. Vista is where the gaming industry is going. DX10 is where we are going to be in a year. Buying a new AGP card even at $200 a pop is a bad investment now. Especially if you consider the fact that you can get the same exact card in PCI-E for at least $50 less. If you are a gamer...

I bought a 24' used Sony Trinitron CRT for $100 (you are in [H]otdeals). I run at 1600x1200@85 2-4AA and 4-8AF on most games. It has nothing to do with bragging rights. If you think AA and AF don't matter then that is an opinion that is misguided, especially if you are running @ 1024 or 800. The...

I think your CPU/RAM would be a limiting factor here. I have a P4 3.2 Northy, 2GB Geil and a 6800 Ultra. When I bought my X850 XTPE and ran it on this same machine I didn't see a ton of difference. I couldn't justify $400 for such a small performance gain so I sold it, kept the 6800 Ultra and am...

If it makes any difference ATI's Linux drivers are absolute shit. I have a AIW9700 Pro, Radeon 8500 & 9600 and a x700 mobility in my lappy. The AIW is completely worthless in Linux having basic 3D acceleration and not much else. Gatos gives the AIW9700 the finger so no luck there. The 8500 and...

Just wanted to let everyone know I got the projector exactly how I expected. It is in great shape and I just got done playing about 5 hours of Halo 2 and the new Mortal Kombat on it. I've got 5 roommates and they were all completely blown away. The poster shipped the day I payed and it was here...

I think that maybe you should relax man. It really isn't that big of a deal. You are always welcome to go to ebay or buy a newer projector for not much more. If this guy decided, "Ok I decided I would rather keep my projector because I am absolutely in love with it," that would be perfectly...

Looking for anything in trade? Would love to pick this up if the bulb only has 100 hours on it.

I would prefer an Asus or an Abit. Doesn't need to be a IC7 or P4P or antyhing like that. I just need to put a 2.8B in it and an All-in-Wonder. Will entertain basically anything. I am only looking for 512MB and 1GB sticks of DDR (no 256 please). Nothing below DDR400 please. About the...

It was $37.99, I had actually just bought one when I saw this. Sorry mate.

$37.99 with free shipping at Newegg. I'd take Newegg shipping over Monarch any old day. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118001

Hey that is an awesome site (aside from being TH). Thank you very much.

Hey I have a PNY 6800 Ultra that doesn't overclock well at all (even with a Zalman VF900 slapped on it). Would the X800XL be a step backward or forward for me? I've always preferred ATI cards but got the 6800 Ultra for christmas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm... Says $32.90 on the site, but when I add it to my cart it goes up to $39.99. That sucks.

Yeah, I had to pick up both. You can't really beat two top notch games for $34.11.

MGS3 is still up for me.

Damn, that went quick.

Saw this over on evilavatar and thought I'd post it here. I don't know how many of you would jump on this one, but seems pretty hot to me. Metroid Prime 2 for Gamecube $14.99: **DEAD** Metal Gear Solid 3 $14.99: http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/240459.asp Good deals on some great...

Actually, has anyone heard anything about this RAM? Perhaps this RAM also. Seems to be the same stuff as the earlier posted RAM, just PC3500 instead of 3200. Any experiences?

Yeah I dunno. My Crucial runs decently, but I think I will get some Geil. I'm starting to give a second look at the AI7 though. So confused. I am definately going with that Geil RAM though. Looks too sweet to pass up, and if I get a bad stick newegg will replace it. Really, thanks for all the...

Yeah that Geil memory seems to be exactly what I am looking for. So as of right now it looks like I am going with the IS7 or AI7 and some Geil RAM. You pretty much convnced me to go 1GB. Just doesn't make sense to waste the extra cash waiting it out.

BTW my Crucial runs at 160Mhz rock solid with loose memory settings. Ran my P4 1.6A at 2.4+Ghz for quite a while.

Whoa awesome info here dude. Yeah I knew from the start this was gonna be a job. I am heading to a computer sale tonight, we'll see what they are showing down there. I knew from the start my RAM wasn't going to cut it, but I just need something to tide me over until I can really afford it. I...

I'm gonna be air cooling, but I would like to hit at least 3ghz with my CPU. Do you think 2.8v will be enough for some decent RAM? I was thinking Geil for price, but have Heard good things about Corsair and Mushkin. Those last two are pretty fucking expensive though.

Well, as of right now, the IC-7 Max3 is $186 on newegg. It has onboard sound, SATA, RAID, Gigabit. Like I said, don't need any of it. I will take the SATA simply because I would love to get some Raptors down the line. The IC-7 gets rid of the lan (fine by me, plenty of Realtek cards lying...
