    Upgrade path recommendations...

    My God, I haven't kept up on pricing. Get the X3210. Look here for it as well: http://www.ncixus.com/search/?categoryid=0&q=x3210 $227US + shipping for a Quad is INSANE!!!! I'd skip the 320MB GTS though. They are having some rough times with the texture memory and driver issues making them...

    Upgrade path recommendations...

    Upgrade the CPU and wait for the next gen DX10.1 cards since in my opinion the 8800's are gonna be crap for real 100% DX10.1 games.

    Logitech G9 in the wild?

    Well hell, true it is then. I still don't like it and my G7 has nothing to fear. I also agree that it just doesn't look "Logitech" enough for my tastes. I also agree that the keyboard is quite sexy though. I need a new one to replace this aging Logitech cheapo special....

    Vista... sucks

    If you ask me, the biggest problem with Vista is that it is all about the GUI and not about the actual OS. That pretty GUI it has is eating memory and making video cards work when only displaying a desktop. It even causes your PC to consume more electricity. I for one still firmly believe...

    Vista... sucks

    I just hope that SP3 for XP is meaningful, not that I can find many flaws that I consider needing overt attention. No plans on Vista-tizing my PC any time soon if ever....

    8950 release???

    Not so much reports of it lagging, but with Nvidia looking to triple the horsepower and the current crop of ports (and I agree that is a major part of the problem) are really hammering the current cards, and with Vista having not so much luck with SLI (and yes I know Nvidia's drivers have gotten...

    8950 release???

    I must add that I do not have Vista and I am not a Vista basher. Only that from what I have read Vista and Nvidia are still not sleeping together. Any way you look at it, if the upcoming DX10 games are as bad to these cards as the current crop of DX10 ports, then these cards are going to be...

    NAS Drive Newb

    I can't help you with the server, but there is no way you will ever be able to upload at the same speed you download. if you're lucky, you could maybe get 1-2K Kbps upload whereas 10K Kbps dowwnload speeds are becoming common.

    8950 release???

    Native DX10 games are gonna bring those cards to their knee's and make them beg for mercy. BUt I must say that until we have real DX10 games and actual properly function Vista drivers, these cards are not needed.

    Kazakhstan DSL: $3,355 Per Month

    That's what I get for $40 a month. Usually alittle faster too. Not bad considering I live out in the sticks.

    Anonymous vs Fox News 11

    Overyhyped, yes Bunch of cowards hiding behind a keyboard, definitely. Things like this will cause the world's governments, especially the US, to regulate the internet eventually. It's not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. One final thought, while it shouldn't be like that, it does...

    Having fat friends.. makes you fat

    You are far too active and not drinking enough soda and enjoying a fine diet of McDonalds if you're having trouble being fat, LOL!

    Cheap new flexible solar panels you'll be able to print with an inkjet

    I'd cover my entire 500+ SQ/ft roof with these if I could. Cool read.

    Having fat friends.. makes you fat

    LOL! If you ask me, it is a problem for North America, not just the US. I am American, and I saw my fair share of fatties at home, but there are just as many here. Hell, my mother in law is fat enough to be 2 1/2 people, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    If you ask me, you have one of the few lame duck Conroes. I had an early E6600 that could not be made stable over 3.2Ghz and maxxed out even for suicide benchmarking @ 3.4GHz. Otherwise, I can't see the problem after reading this entire thread over.

    Having fat friends.. makes you fat

    I cut out soda, stopped eating after 8PM and got out from behind my desk and did basic housework more often and lost 25lbs so far this summer. I was 220lbs, now I'm 195 and looking foward to getting back to about 175-180lbs again.

    Antec Nine Hundred

    You have too many fans and hard drives don't need active cooling. It has been shown that cooling them doesn't help them in the least. Every component does not need active cooling. Even when highly overclocked, all you really need is good case airflow and active cooling on the CPU and video...

    Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message

    What gives you or anyone the right to judge how this man lives? Nice way of blaming the victim. As for my actions, I challenged their right to yell obscene things to me by challenging their right to not have their property damaged by me. Unlike those cowards that beat up the parked truck...

    Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message

    Good gooing stupid tree huggers. Now 4 more large tires and a pile of glass is going into a landfill. PLUS, the repaint will release more harmful chemicals into the air. It is a proven fact that over the entire lifespan, a Hummer is more gentle to the environment, especially when disposal...

    Logitech G9 in the wild?

    I run mine right on my desk. Guess that explains that.
