    Minolta 2300W Color laser Printer for $399 AR ($200 & $100) @ Staples

    A review is here. The printer can also be had at newegg for $419 after rebate. Shipping is free. The care and feeding of this thing is expensive. Page capacity for color cartridges is based on 5% coverage. Color ink jet capacities seem to be based on 15% coverage. It seems to me that one...

    8RDA+ video problems

    New BIOS + new MB drivers = slight improvement. I still see some blips in the rendered Nature scene, but the machine isn't locking up 3-5 seconds into the test like it did before. RAM voltage increase didn't have any effect. I seem to be OK running at 150Mhz.

    8RDA+ video problems

    I did a clean install of XP. XP, Epox drivers, SP1, then newset MSI video stuff. I haven't yet upgraded the motherboard BIOS. Is there any way to test my RAM? I'd like to return it to New Egg if it turns out to be the culprit.

    8RDA+ video problems

    AGP is set to auto and is running at 4x according to Display Properties under Xp. I'm not sure about Assign IRQ. I'll have to look when I get home from work. A new ANTEC TRUE430 powering everything, so I don't think that is the problem. Is there some voltage adjustment I'm missing. I...

    8RDA+ video problems

    I just put together a mostly new system. 8RDA+, XP2100 TBred, Ti 4400, & Kingston Value PC2700. Everthing is fine in the 133MHz bus world. When I go to 166Mhz with multipliers to keep the CPU normally clocked, my video card freezes during the "Nature" section of 3DMark. I found this out...

    Planar 42" 16:9 Plasma display $2899 @ Dell(1 day only??)

    Archos 6000 Jukebox 6 Gig MP3 Player for $169.99! NOt a Typo!

    There was a stack of them in the Huntsville, AL Best Buy for $169.99. There is a rebate on the 20 GB model, but the BB rebate on the 6000 expired on the 24th. Circuit City has a current $30 rebate on the 6000 with a before rebate price of $199.99. I'm going to try to get them to PM BB before...

    Flaming Hot - Save $10560.05 !! Gypsy Carswell Neutral Rug. Only $449.95 shipped

    It's a typo. The retail is probably $1100, not $11010. Look and think before you post. StealthX32 had it right. Why even continue this thread?
