    Dell U2312HM

    Does dell refund for price changes? I ordered one yesterday for $271 after coupon before tax. Not a huge deal at $12.

    Helping a friend build a budget PC

    Your friend could do a lot better for ~$300. Granted this is an amd forum (why does he want an amd cpu but not amd graphics!).. but if i had to do a build for $300 for WoW (and a somewhat lackluster power supply) then I'd do something like a pentium g850, 4GB ram, 6770, and a semi cheapo...

    HD-A3 for $199 with 10 free movies - HOT!

    Ok so basically one line from samsung, one line from sony (well their SXRD do it too), and one plasma company actually display the frames correctly. Other TV's such as panasonic and samsung plasmas accept 1080p/24 signals but that doesn't mean its displayed correctly. The vast majority of TV's...

    Dinner With Buffett Goes For $650k

    You haven't heard of the second richest man on the planet? You also haven't heard that he is donating almost all of his money to charity, namely the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And on top of that all the money is going to charity from the lunch so why are you so upset again? Please...

    Mousepads.. Which one you guys like?

    I use a Razer Mantis "Speed" (same surface as everglide cloth pads such as the DKT)with a g5 and it works pretty well. I used to swear by func mousepads for the past 4-5 years until the g5 convinced me to look into something else with its skipping issues on the rough side. I'm really not...

    PC Gaming vs. Console Gaming whats your pick?

    PC's really don't have the diversity of games that consoles have, at least at the same level of quality in my opinion. My 360 has many more games that I'm interested in compared to pc as I find myself coming back to couterstrike on the pc...and its been six years!

    PC Gamer going Console: 360 or Wii?

    Definately a 360 for the present/early future. No offense, but other than Zelda all the Wii launch games are lack luster or party games. I bought a 360 around a month ago and am loving it! Being able to game with some of my buddies who aren't into PC gaming over Live is really nice, and xbox...

    7950 gx2 strange issue with aquamark..

    Judging by your sig, I'm fairly certain your motherboard doesn't support sli therefore it doesn't support your gx2 running with both cores.

    Samsung 17" LCD w/600:1, 12ms!, 3-Year Backlight Warranty! $299.99 free shipping

    I've noticed that other sites such as Amazon carry the 710n for $330 but they also have the 710n-2. Whats the difference between the 710n and 710n-2. On the samsung site they looked identical, just curious :P thank you.

    HardOCP's "Valve's Counter Strike:Source – Beta at Best"

    Good read and I agree, source is not ready.. yet. My biggest issue is the fact that some of the most famous maps are non existent? Where are inferno, nuke, and train? These are much better maps than some of the crap they redid first. There really isnt anything new in source, its just missing...

    CS_S is so fake :(

    I've been playing cs for like 4 years :P anways a lot of those "wtf omg *** *** *****" moments are due to your rates and the quality of the server. I haven't installed source yet as i am not at home but if the netcode is anything like 1.6 you should try "rate 20000, cl_cmdrate 101, cl_updaterate...

    Yikes! 2600+ M @ 2.7GHz on air!

    How do you people get a 13x multi :o I have a NF7-S and it only works up to 12.5. My 2600 can't quite hit 2.7 and keep its stability at 1.9 volts. Is it true NF7 boards undervolt? if so let me know :D
  16. S

    Good MB under $120 for a moblie XP.

    What's wrong with the a7n8x you have? I had that board, had enough overclocking options. But if you want a new board the Abit NF7-S is a nice board and cost $91 at the egg.

    Logitech MX510 vs Razer Viper

    mx510 hands down, just don't install the drivers. I use a mx500 and IE 3.0 and the mx500 is the smoothest mouse I have ever used so I would imagine the mx510 would be even better. The old ball razer's looked AMAZING on paper but weren't anything special, hence why the company went out of...

    Powmax Demon any good?

    Instead of using my Antec 300watter i used some 420 watt powermax, and guess what! It fried my motherboard :-D!!!! wow do i hate powmax, powermax whatever the hell they call themselves besides a bad company. Never EVER buy low qulaity power supplies. When in doubt just pick up an Antec.

    Reccomend a good upgrade?

    yeah, make sure you buy a good heatsink too, the 2500 or 2600 mobile will get you around 2.5Ghz with reasonable voltage settings.

    6800GT overclock handicapped?

    What i think is a bigger concern would be heat issues. The GT is one hot running card. The BFG GT OC would hit 80 C which for me is very hot. So if you overclock past 400 whats to stop the thing from eventually frying.

    Old Skool cards

    I miss 3Dfx ;( I'm still running a voodoo3 in this machine. Its a shame 3dfx couldn't hang in there, one bad line and they go bye bye :O Shows you how competitive the graphics market has become. Hell, imagine if ATI or Nvidia had a bomb like the voodoo5, wonder what would happen to them.

    $422 6800gt(bestbuy) or $435 x800xt(gateway)

    Does Best Buy charge you tax even if you order online :o I would think they would ship it from some main warehouse, not the store in your town.

    Help building first pc..

    Yeah lose the athlon xp, if you said you were going to upgrade to the 3200+ it would be a total waste. The Athlon 64 2800+ is the same price as a 3200+ xp and it would be a much better chip for gaming, plus you could upgrade in the future. If you go with Athlon 64 get the Chaintech nforce 3...

    Far Cry w/ HDR screenies

    hehe looks pretty good but getting 50fps while starring at a wall = not ideal :P especially once an enemy appears and you have to actually play the game.

    Help building first pc..

    Well that CPU will bottleneck the video card a tad, plus athlon xps r kinda outta room for growth. The biggest problem i see is that you are getting a x800 pro and 512MB of system ram. For games like far cry, if you crank up the settings your video card will be able to handle it but the lack...

    Alienware ALX

    basicly with that ALX piece of junk you are paying $2500-3000 in parts, the rest for their case and liquid cooling which isn't that much better than air cept on video cards. So if you want a $2000 case that has water cooling buy from alienware!

    Judgement Day! Feedback on system specs before I purchase...

    I'd get a nforce 3 250 board as they do allow overclocking in case you ever want to do so in the future (you will get 400+Mhz more outta ur chip making it near 3700+ levels) . Decide for yourself though for what suits you best. Hard has some reviews of nforce 3 boards and anand has a roundup...
