Thanks guys, I can't find any good deals in my area so I suppose I'll just wait and see what comes up on Sunday. Thanks, jz989

Finally got my MSN Dollars! Now I am searching for something to spend it on. Has anyone come across a good deal on a hard drive over 80gb in the stores that we can shop at? Is it possible to pricematch while using the MSN wallet and if so how would someone do it? Thanks, jz989

Hold the presses! I've been doing a little research and I've come to the conclusion that for the money I am willing to pay, the Radeon 8500 OEM is actually a better performer than the Geforce3 Ti200. But I have a few questions... Most of the benchmarking and comparisons against the Ti200...

TungFree, Even though I don't have Windows XP (and probably never will) I'll have to agree with rbV5. Windows is just complaining that the codec you are trying to install was not digitally signed which means that it could corrupt your software or hardware and may be a security risk, in this...

TungFree, Ok, here we go. First get all of the software: http://www.divx-digest.tv/software/codec/divx_322b.zip <-- divx 3.11 alpha (patches already applied) http://www.afterdawn.com/software/dawnload.cfm?software_id=350 <-- LAME ACM...

Hmm, looks like the Geforce 3 Ti200 is the more popular card. Thanks a ton people, you all are always very helpful. Now I've got to sort through the many Ti200 cards out there to find the best one. :) Thanks, jz989

TungFree, I don't have any experience with Premier (I use Xmpeg from http://www.mp3guest.com/Xmpeg_Index.asp?l=US.) I have been playing around with the codecs a lot lately and I had a problem where the Divx encoder codec was not showing up. So, here is what I did. I went and downloaded divx...

Ok people, currently I have a Matrox G400 32MB AGP card in my system (http://www.anandtech.com/mysystemrig.html?id=15328) It is starting to show it's age. I am just wondering what you all think would be my best choice for a new card under $150? I was looking at the ATI Radeon 7500, but...

Alright, thanks. So, does anyone have any good or bad experiences to share about the Iwill KK266 or Epox 8K7A? I'm definitly going with a 1.2GHz Athlon 266MHz FSB and at least 256MB Crucial PC2100 SDRAM. Anybody have any other motherboard suggestions? Thanks, jz989

I am finally ready to retire my Cel300a system and move on to a new Athlon T-Bird system. I know what chip I want, but I've been out of the hardware thing for a while and am a bit confused with all the new lingo. I'd like to buy an AMD Athlon 1.2GHz T-Bird w/266MHz FSB. What motherboard would...
