    Dell Mini 10 future upgrades?

    It's coming out this week and the info says Bluetooth and HD and TV tuner will be in later models. Does this mean if I buy now I'm screwed or is that stuff up offered as an update later?:confused: I'm in the market and this is high on my list.

    Best Crysis image quality

    What are you setting the Gamma/Brightness/Contrast? HIgher or lower or leaving it alone. Personally I think it looks a little drab and I'm playing around with those settings to add some color to it. The foliage pallet is just ugly. Most screenshots I see look that way. I noticed the In...

    Portable media players

    Opinions on a portable media player that does it all. Or close enough. Pics, Audio and Video plus FM tuner. Blue Tooth capability would be nice but not mandatory. One that plays divx, mpeg, mp3 should cover what I want. Any suggestions?

    Ok, I didn't see a thread like this. Who offers the best bundle of games with their card? Seems like these folks aren't sweetening the deals like they used to.

    7950 or 8800xxx

    Ok, I can get a 7950 with GRAW included or should I get a 8800gts? I've not kept up with the details lately. Is the difference worth it in today's games? I figured to get the 7950 with GRAW (xfx) now then upgrade with the next generation and skip the 8800. FWIW the 7950 I'm looking at is...

    Ever bought an Open Box Mobo?

    There is a mobo I want on our favorite vendor's site that is open box. Anyone have experience with buying an open box mobo from newegg? The site says "tested for functionality" but I just won't get any literature or extras. I would say what it is but I don't want anybody else to see it.:D

    Reliability and longevity

    I searched for these topics and got nothing. My question is whether WC has come far enough to leave a system unattended? Do you run your rig 24/7? I'm ready to ditch the noisy fans. How much life will a good pump give before it craps out? The pump I'm looking at is Laing DDC-2 Pump...

    Need for Speed Most Wanted corrupt disk

    :mad: I had given up on EA games because they generally suck with poor performance and limited options. I stupidly tried again and bought NFSMW. I fixed the stupid directx install error which everyone else seemed to get. However when I get to disk three the thing fails saying a file is...

    Is my tv too big? And other HD rants

    For my first venture in HTPC I've got a 37" Emerson lcd connected via DVI>HDMI to my 7800gt. The picture is awesome it works flawlessly etc. I play games on it and watch DVD's via purevideo. I'm coming to believe the thing is just too big for my apartment. The couch is maybe 8 ft away...

    Image tweaking software

    What is the best software for tweaking the image on my LCD? I'm hooked up via DVI>HDMI from my 7800gt. The Nvidia control panel is ok but I'm sure there must be better.

    F@H copycatting my dual core

    I set up my dual core correctly with Box and Box with -Local and it's worked fine for months. Now all of sudden I'm seeing the cores folding the exact same proteins for the last three runs. Is this the norm now? I don't want to be wasting cpu time on duplicate results. I re-checked all my...

    Heatsink compound Type 44

    It's old but the info is solid. I bought a tub of Type 44 in 2001 and I still have enough for me and all my friends for the rest of our lives. This might be the only [H] heatsink compound review. At the time we only had the listed vendor to find the stuff but it's available all over now...

    Laptop as primary system and gaming rig.

    Howdy folks. I've been out of the loop for quite a while. For example my current rig is a p3 700 overclocked at 903. The most recent game I have is quake3. Yeah it's embarrassing. So I've decided I want a laptop. Obviously my desktop needs a upgrade too. Seeing some of the recent articles...
