    Leadtek 6800gt $288..

    I have one of these (got one of the refurb for $210 and then exchanged it with leadtek for a new one). It is the quietest graphics card I have ever owned, but that being said, it is the loudest fan in my computer. However, I have a silience freak, so my case fans are 12cm running at 5 volts...

    Refurbished - Leadtek A400 GT TDH Geforce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X - $209.49 free s/h

    I had to go for it. This is the same deal that was at newegg.com a while ago, but they now have it for $220. I called Leadtek USA and they said it has a 3 year warranty if you have your invoice (1 year otherwise)

    Will a GF4 4200 push 1680x1050 through DVI?

    I'm using my GF4 4200 through DVI on my Dell 2000FP at 1600x1200 no problems. Don't remember which brand the card is though.

    SnapStream Beyond TV Bundle 72.99

    It doesn't say which Hauppauge card, and Beyond TV supports non-hardware encoding cards, so it's probably the $20 Hauppauge card, making this a warm deal at best.

    Geforce 6600GT AGP $220

    Yes, but the 6800 is 12 pipes, 256bit and the 6600GT is 8 pipes, 128bit. 370*12 = 4440 500*8 = 4000 700 * 256 = 179200 1000 * 128 = 128000 So, the 6800 is usually faster core (can't always use all pipes) and always faster memory bandwidth.

    [Dead] CompUSA: 10/10-10/16: Maxtor DiamondMax 60GB Internal Hard Drive - $29.99

    If anyone cares, both drives inside the box were: DiamondMax Plus 9 60GB ATA/133 HDD 6Y060L0 Which are FDB Motors, very quiet and cool. Great deal for RAID at $30 + tax each out the door.

    [Dead] CompUSA: 10/10-10/16: Maxtor DiamondMax 60GB Internal Hard Drive - $29.99

    I got 2 at the San Jose, Blossom Hill store. That had 27 more when I left about 1 hour ago. You have to ask though, they only have them in the back. And, the the online stock checker was wrong as it says out of stock, so call your local store or stop by, don't believe the online stock system.

    To those out there with an Asus A8V Deluxe mobo

    What version of windows (XP I assume, but which SP). I installed SP2 on mine, and I don't get any unknown devices. There is a AMD64 Processor driver, but if you are not using Cool&amp;Quiet then the default XP one should work (at least there is one in SP2, maybe not in < SP2). Maybe the...

    Just overclocked my A64 3500+ to 2.4ghz 90nm

    For the A8V 1:1 means DDR200, so you want to set it 2:1 to run at normal DDR400 (or DDR480 with your overlclock).

    Dual Channel Memory Problems with Asus A8V

    Well, I got it working. Somehow, my memory errors with 1 DIMM went away, and I was able to run MemTest86 without errors. Then, I flashed the BIOS to 107 and Dual started working. Ran MemTest over night without any errors on Dual. Strange that a Bios update fixed the problem.

    Dual Channel Memory Problems with Asus A8V

    I'm having the exact same problem. I can't even POST with two DIMMS, but one seems to work fine (though I was getting a ton of MemTest86 errors on just one for a while, but somehow I got past that). If I boot just one DIMM in B1, it works fine. If I put one in A1 and B1, I get nothing...

    A64 3000, 3200, 3500 90NM!!

    Just canceled it. They are crazy, if you cancel your order after 30min from placing it, they may charge a 15% restocking fee (for an order that hasn't even shipped. I thought people liked Monarch, but that's just crazy. I'll wait for NewEgg to get the 90nm up and then order from them.
