    8800GTS 320 at 1680x1050

    I've got every piece to my new system except the video card. I've been debating between the 640GTS and the 320 GTS. I'm definatly getting an eVGA with the option to step-up, but i just can't afford the GTX right now. I game at 1680X1050, and will eventually run either of these cards in SLi, or...

    226bw from Circuit City...Any "A" panels?

    how do you tell the difference between them? I work at best buy and we carry them there, and I want to be able to tell which we have.

    New Westinghouse 24" LCD

    I work at best buy, and I set one of these up last week. I was very dissapointed in this monitor. For one I couldn't even get the screen to center correctly on 1920x1200, plus video playback was average at best. I would save up $50 more and get the new LG L246WP or the 24" Gateway.

    LG L246W

    I just printed a sign for this beast, and the retail price is $699. So it's slightly more expensive than the Gateway. All the best buy spec sheets say this has DVI AND HDMI, unfortunatly this monitor ONLY has HDMI and uses a DVI to HDMI adapter. The screen still looks beautiful. I will let you...

    LG L246W

    I think it goes for $649, but I could be wrong. I only checked employee price :D

    LG L246W

    Hey guys, I work at Best Buy and just saw an LG L246W come off the truck. Since I work back in the computers dept, I got to set it up (on a crappy analog connection with a picture slideshow.) I havn't got a chance to run any movies or games on it, but I wanted to know if anyone has heard...

    PSU for a 8800 GTS

    are Antec PSUs any good. I'm looking at the 650W Trio one. Mostly just because I work at best buy and get a nice discount on it :)

    Help Choosing a Video Card - Please

    I would just get any video card that supports HDCP so you can eventually play blu-ray HD-dvd stuff. If you aren't doing ANY gaming, just about any HDCP card should do. If you might game in the future, or at least a little bit, then perhaps something like the 8800 GTS 320mb version, it only runs...

    Well, I finally did it..... check first post for testing xtknight

    I work at best buy, and I sell them. It's been hands down the best performing monitor for us. We installed a few games and used to monitors to see how they ran, the LG looked like one of the best.

    Choosing a Vista Version.

    I got Ultimate pretty cheap though a best buy/intel employee purchase program, but I can't decide whether to do 32bit or 64 bit. But I do agree with everyone, home premium is a much better value.

    Is 64-bit worth it?

    I have Windows Ultimate, with both 32 and 64 bit. I'm vbuilding a brand new system as we speak, and I would really like to go to 64 bit, but is it worth it? Or will it be worth it soon? What would the pros and cons of 64bit Ultimate be. Here are what my new system specs will be: C2D E6300...
