Ouch @ those prices... gotta start somewhere though, and they'll only be going down now. :)

Earthworm Jim was fun... I played one of the Star Trek games but don't remember the title as I never actually played the game. After awhile I'd simply hit the warp drive key, randomly end up in strange place usually across the klingon nuetral zone under attack, and would have fun with 1v1, 2v1...

Did you disable the automatic reboot setting? Might be nerfed graphics drivers... usually was when I got the same problem. I would suggest using Driver cleaner to remove them, reboot, then install the latest drivers. Also make sure you have the latest motherboard drivers and BIOS installed...

I stick to playing either a laptop, a good book, or my mp3 player... ;)

The GA-P31-DS3L will support the GPU just fine, as Rob said. The only thing you need to be aware of is the GA-P31-DS3L has some trouble with memory above 800MHz... if planning to run or overclock your RAM above 800MHz I would suggest the GA-P35-DS3L which costs ~$10 more. Same thing if you plan...

Dunno... never had to cancel anything from them or had to deal with their support. I've ordered more than a few things from them since they sometimes were cheaper than Newegg. The one time I pre-ordered a book from Buy.com I was very surprised when it showed up in the mail on the launch...

I'd better clarify myself, I got the Z-5300's about a year ago. I think y'all have me sold on the DX... read a few more reviews. Now if I can just start selling the misc junk I have instead of buying anything else... *coughs*

I will confess as much as I like Anandtech, some of their articles are confusing and others I just don't agree with, such as their desire to have Skulltrail used for all their GPU testing because it offers SLI + Crossfire. Gotta say that I really enjoy their in-depth and detailed coverage of...

I'm not to sure about the sub, it's completely enclosed except for an air port. Model was fully analog offering only audio jacks, likely why it was discontinued and in the discount bin. Was too good a markdown (Box was gouged ontop of everything), so I ended up with them. Thanks for the info...

Some places will instruct you to talk to the retailer if you want a refund. If you want an RMA or an exchange for a working item, then the same place would allow it. I'm not sure if that would be the case for Razer, but I would find it amazing if they refuse to honor an exchange for an item...

Yeah. I don't like to seem anti-NVIDIA so I didn't outright say it, but they have had so many issues since 590. Why can't they learn and either design a good chipset, or better actually test & Q&A their design a much longer to iron out these bugs before releasing it? They are STILL having data...

I hope the same, but I am not counting on it. Doubly so with waterblocks, as they need to modify the base of their coolers. Having almost 2x the heatspreader surface area may be a good thing to mitigate the extra heat (And I am very sure Nehalem will be a hot chip for several specific...

Exactly, if you don't feel the strong need, then don't do it. You will feel a strong need to update later this year... :D Buying a new motherboard + second 8800GT also just sounds expensive, when Nvidia will be launching GT200 somewhere around Q3. As you are likely aware, Nehalem will...

That was harder than I thought to find! Here ya go: http://houseofstrauss.co.uk/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=4&lid=61 Is it giving any sort of error msg?

No disrespect to Techgage, but The Tech Report just got an article up on this card. It looks very promising. I didn't even realize the original Xonar D2 lacks a front audio out header! Something worth noting for those Nvidia chipset fans out there! good bit of luck the contest PC uses the...

Yeah, I wish Frys had a try before you buy thing with sound cards... y'all have me wondering if I would notice a difference between my onboard HD Azalia audio vs a Xonar... speakers are Logitech Z-5300's iirc, no digital inputs at all. I very easily noticed the difference between the Realtek...

Sorry to hear of your family's problems Merlin... hopefully things will start to improve for you & y'all.

Half a century... must be quite a lot of fun!! :D Seriously though, hope ya had a good one! Next one will be your centennial... ;)

That was fun :p

Yeah, its going to be amazing... unfortunately we now know for sure current CPU coolers and CPU waterblocks don't have a snowball's chance in hell of fitting on Nehalem chips. The LGA1366 socket is just way way to massive and has been elongated, so even if the mounting holes were similar the...
