Eww, a CMI (CMedia) 8738-based soundcard? I had that chipset on a highly integrated mobo with onboard audio. It flogged and thrashed the CPU whenever it was generating output. I wouldn't purchase one of these abominations at ANY price. C'mon, you can get an SBLive Value just about anywhere for...

Hate to rain on your parade, but the CLA2MX has the same memory bandwidth -- 1.6Gb/s, I think -- as a generic GF2MX with SDR-SDRAM, because the DDR-SDRAM is using a 64-bit data path whereas the SDR-SDRAM on most other GF2MXs uses a 128-bit data path. Add to that the fact that the DDR-SDRAM is...

On the other hand, if one were to get MSN DSL service (or MSN 2-Way Satellite service through StarBand/Gilat2Home), apparently MSN *does* consider either of those to be valid fulfillment of the n-year commitment for the MSN Instant Rebate... Considering that right now I'm paying zero -- zippo...

Heifetz -- It looks like someone's attempting to sell information -- useless information -- not unlike what occurred during the EMusic.com Nomad II promotion. It's a crock.

Well, since I don't have any use for a PSX2, and I don't make a habit of fleecing rubes on fleabay, I guess I don't fall into either category... <heh>

I honestly don't understand why any of you are getting all worked up over the PSX2. It seems to me you've bought into Sony's hype and marketing PR. For what it's worth, I'm sitting this one out. I don't have much use for a game console -- that $300 can be much better spent on new toys for my...

Mustang -- I wouldn't put much trust in COD either. I've gotten screwed that way, myself, some years ago. Bought an HP48GX from a guy in California through the FidoNET ForSale Echo. He shipped it COD, I received the item, paid for it, and when I opened the box, found an old trade...

Revelator wireless 3D glasses? The ones that use LCD shutters to generate the 3D effect? You'd better have a display adaptor AND a monitor capable of vertical scan rates of 120Hz or better, otherwise you'll be getting a helluva headache VERY quickly from those. At 100Hz vscan, flicker is...

The one price I've seen quoted for a GeForce 2MX-based display adapter is from Guillemot. They've announced that they'll be releasing their first GF2MX card (appropriately called the 3D Prophet 2MX, I think) in the single-headed configuration on July 10th for $149 list, and the dual-headed...
