    Best slot to install sound card into?

    I am about to put together my new system, and this has always bugged me for years: What is the best slot on the motherboard to install the sound card into? Because of the sometimes nasty problems from WinXP PCI steering, is it a bad idea to install in Slot 5 (which is the farthest away from...

    Which brand of 6800GT is best?

    Leadtek. Best heatsink. Best fan. Totally quiet. Best price still, probably. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122195

    Is this a good deal for a 6800gt?

    The massive copper heatsink cools great, and the fan is extremely quiet. I could not hear it in my computer. Unfortunately, I think I had some quirky hardware compatibility problem, so I had to put my 9500 Pro back in. Now I have to build a new computer just to make use of my 6800GT (well, I...

    SONY PSP is a piece of crap

    Ridge Racer seems to be a killer app as well. It's sold out everywhere I've checked. The overall scores of all the games in the launch lineup have been very high. Check www.gamerankings.com and click on the PSP section.

    The deal is back; 1 Day Sale @ $299 for this card w/ free FedEx shipping. I had been looking at this card for the past week or so, and it's been ~$340 everywhere, including NewEgg, so I jumped on this deal and ordered it about 15 mins ago.

    SONY PSP is a piece of crap

    I just wanted to post that I won a PSP in a drawing, so I didn't have to pay the hefty $250 :) The game prices are killing me, however. :( Twisted Metal Head-On is freaking awesome, and everyone with a PSP should buy it. The best part is that you can connect to the internet multiplayer...

    What is wrong with me? I haven't upgrade my base system since '03

    I built my current PC in May or June of '03. It's a P4 2.53, ASUS P4B-533, 1 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9500 Pro, 160 GB WD HD, etc. The rest is in my signature. The 9500 Pro I had in my 1.4 T-Bird, so I reused that, plus my CD/DVD drives, Hercules sound card, keyboard, monitor etc. The only upgrades to...

    Long Load Times in Games

    Wait a minute, what about newer boards? If I get an nForce 4 board, and run 4x512 modules in it, will it cause slower ram timings?

    Are 6800 Ultra PCIe prices finally dropping?

    I hope the Asus 6800 Ultra PCIe board starts dropping soon... I can't afford a $750 video card!

    ASUS 6800 ULTRA PCI-E!!!

    THAT is the card that I want. It is sooooo sexy. Blue PCB... Mmmm mmm! Now, I wonder when the prices will come back down into the range where mere mortals can afford one (or two!).

    AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 90nm retail version at ZipZoomFly for $290

    Ohhhh, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I just checked it out, and indeed, the Winchester core is much more power efficient. Good thing to know before I buy a new CPU.
