oh, ok. thanks.

Anyone have any word on when ATI's new card will be benchmarked? I thought the target date was 4/26.....has that changed? I'm anxious to see how the benchmarks stack up to the 6800 Ultra from NVIDIA.

another vote for the Netgear MR814, I've had it for a while now without any problems.

I was going to put the Raptors in a RAID 0 array, mostly because I read all the arguments and I just want to see for myself.....and I've never done it so it should be fun to set up. :) By the sounds of things maybe I will drop the video card down a notch, maybe even the processor too. Maybe...

yeah, I'm thinking about waiting..the problem is that the computer I have at home is old and slow. It's to the point now that I can't even play some of the newer games because my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements. I'm not sure if I'm patient enough to wait. :)

I could use a few opinions about the parts I picked out for my first build.... I'm going with an AMD Athlon 64. I'm just a little over budget, and if I have to make a cut which should I do? I could either replace the 3400+ with the 3200+ or I could replace the 9800XT with a 9800 Pro Also, I...

haha, good point.

Interesting about the Opteron, I didn't know that. I did tell him that I was trying to decide between the 3200+ and the 3400+ though. :)

OK, here's the short version of a pretty entertaining story. I have an OLD computer I have running as a linux server, it's a Pentium II. The CPU fan/heatsink went bad and I wanted to get it up and running ASAP, so I ran to the local Comp-USA to try and grab the replacement part. Well, as...

I need some suggestions on a laptop. I want a good enough video card to play games,and an included CD burner would be nice. Keeping it smaller/lighter would be good, but not necessary. I don't have a budget nailed down yet, but keeping it at or under $2000 would be good. Is Dell the best...

I just read a review of the alpha version of Ark Linux.....anyone give it a shot yet?

I guess that's the point of my post...I don't know. Hopefully someone can fill me in.

I guess you're right, it's in my new egg wish list, I could swear it said XT but I guess I was wrong. :) Right now I have the 128 MB 9800 Pro selected. I could get the 256 MB XT and buy the DVD burner later, or I could get the 128 MB 9800 Pro + a Plextor DVD burner.

I'm debating between the 256 MB and the 128 MB version of the ATI 9800 XT card. I need to cut cost on my system somewhere and I was wondering if maybe the extra cost for the better card may not be worth it for the performance gain. This system will be used for gaming, so any imput would be...

OK, thanks for the suggestions. Maybe it's best if I just wait a while before I do this.
