    Plasma Screen TV v. DLP v. LCD v. etc...

    No experience, but from what I've heard the Plasma's burn-outs are a bit exagerated. The first models (the 30k + ones) burned out in 3-5, but supposably it has gotten better... quality just goes down some, it's gas for god sakes. LCDs are the sweetest... as long as the back light lasts, they...

    DDR memory prices are dropping...

    hmm... testing my ability to remember last term's I/O course. Welp, I'm wrong. As I was typing what my professor had taught, I went to get more facts.... I originally thought the "Ultra ATA 133" was 133 MBps, however he had taught that it was actually 133 MHz. Multiply that by the width, and...

    DDR memory prices are dropping...

    Bought one stick of 512 MB DDR 500 last night. Decent price, $109 I guess, not too aggressive though. I'll buy another when prices drop more (fingers crossed). I did hear Ram companies were upping DDR just so DDRII wouldn't be that bad looking. Whatever... It's all a conspiracy I tell ya. DDR is...

    Final check on my new system before I buy

    I just purchased about the same... (last night baby) except I got an 9800 Pro, and the Chaintech nf3 board. Can't vouch for anything yet... and my HDD's are going to be Raid 80GB Seagate. My case should arrive today (you can get it cheaper @ AJump, but long shipping). If you plan to OC, get...

    Recommend me a digital camera

    Welp, if you want simple, Kodak would have to be the way to go. And they're good too, so can't go too wrong unless you're an enthusiaste. If I remember correctly, they come with the works too (battery, etc...) The Canon A70 from all I've read is an amazing camera. I still wish I bought it, but...

    I'm with ya Dubb... Hot deal really, however where's Pearl Jam - Bu$hleaguer ? They aren't really new punk I guess. Scary times indeed... with the D-word in the distance. I'll stop before I get flustered and start typing in all caps >8)

    Lindows linux for free again

    For anyone having problems d/l... what I suggest is to not even try. I tried for two nights straight when the first coupon came around, and then said screw it. Your purchase will stay in your cart and you can just go back to d/l it again sometime. I didn't d/l it until, probably, 2-3 weeks...
