    SoundBlaster Live! Dolby Digital 5.1 Platinum In A Build It Yourself Barebones System $149.99

    Lungster, I think they meant you'd need a PIV to really take advantage of the 4x AGP, not that it was a technical requirement. Either way it's a false statement, the performance difference is 10-15% from 2X-4X if you play at anything above 1024x768 resolution. Here's what I'd do to make this a...

    Photosmart for 1100xi for $200 off amazon price

    Oh now I get it. Well, it's not really fair to blame our driver, since the issue is limited to a particular company's particular model of computer. Did you try turning off the card reader like I suggested? If you'd like, PM me and I'll give you my phone number. I'll walk you through it. If it...

    Photosmart for 1100xi for $200 off amazon price

    It wasn't the drivers dude, why would it work on every system but yours? Try either disabling the card reader monitor (start > run > "hpha1mon /off") or installing the basic driver by going through the "Add-A-Printer" wizard (point it the x:\enu). You won't be able to use...

    Free earthquake!

    Does the model number start with a "MX" or "ES"? The "ES" is the newer one, and gets better mileage.

    STAPLES: HP Digital Camera DC215 $160 And FREE USB Zip Drive(100)

    Atrac, formatting the card through the card reader would format the card to FAT32, like a disk drive, but the camera does not use FAT32, try reformatting the card through the camera itself (under setup in the menu, Format CF Card) that might fix it. The camera is fine though, get a new card and...

    I just overclocked my Ass to 4 Mhz, and added 128K of RAM. Damn I like Ass-RAM. Oops, uh... never mind.

    Photosmart for 1100xi for $200 off amazon price

    That works perfect for parallel, for USB you need to use PNP, just point it to "x:\98driver" on the CD and go from there.

    Photosmart for 1100xi for $200 off amazon price

    SemperFi, I just meant people in general should read the instructions, not anyone specifically. 9 out of 10 calls I get are from people who installed it wrong. As far as not being able to get it to work, call tech support, if the guy you talk to can't fix it, call again and get someone else...

    17" monitor @ BB for $109 (no MIR)

    Samtron is basically Samsung's lower-end line. Same company, cheaper components. Not a bad deal for $109, but not exactly a hot deal either.

    Free Tix to see Mummy Returns when buy Mummy DVD

    Great movie... bad deal. I already own the DVD, and it's not worth buying the "Ultimate Edition" just for ONE movie ticket. (Cheap bastards couldn't even give us a PAIR of tickets?!) I'd just rather pay for tickets. Good deal if you don't already have it.
