    Dead: EVGA 9600GT 512MB SSC $59 after rebate!

    I got one at Woodland Hills Fry's today after work. They had a few. $149.99 with a $30 instant rebate and a $60 MIR. I'm happy with it. I'm running my 22.1" and 20.1" widescreen monitors at 1680X1050 and it runs well. Before I could only run it to 1280X960... I am also able to get very...

    Need Advice: Should I upgrade my 8600GT to 9600GT?

    Thanks for all the advice!! This was a brick and mortar Fry's ad so if they don't have it in stock, they'll give me a raincheck. Hopefully they'll have it in stock! I figure for $59 I can't go wrong. When I crash my real radio control heli it can cost me hundreds of dollars so I guess...

    Best way to copy 35gb of photos from old computer?

    It's an Acomdata USB 3.5" drive. Fortunately, since I'll be able to keep my old drive w/out re-using it until I'm 100% sure that the photos are copied correctly. Did you use Explorer to do your copying?

    Acer 24 inch widescreen LCD: $279.99 at Office Depot (starts Sunday)

    So how would this monitor compare to an older Dell 20" widescreen (2005fpw)? I just built a new desktop with Vista Ultimate and I've always wanted a dual monitor setup. As the Acer would be my primary monitor because it's bigger, I wouldn't want the quality to be noticeable lower. Thanks! Pete
