    Gainward, ASUS, Leadtek, others...

    GAINWARD, their cards are always top of the line, and they offer the extras like vivo and i/o connectors. Also, they overclock very well.

    Opposing Forces Won't install!!!!!

    I have installed half life, then when I tried to install opposing forces(both in the same folder as half life was in, and in another folder) it wouldn't install.

    "I Own a Elsa Gladiac GeForce2 GTS 32mg card....what's the next move?"

    Go with the GeForce4 ti4200. It will cost "only" $200, and if you buy it from gainward (they are the BEST nvidia card manufacturer) then you can almost surely overclock it to ti4600 levels, thereby saving $200. Note: Overclockingvideocards is childs play, and gainward's EXPERTtool helps make...

    Windows 2000 boot disk issue at NewEgg

    **ATTN Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 owners**

    Yeah, I get that too. A short 2 second whine in the central channel. It is nothing, mine have worked fine, and this is just a small problem, like the sometimes glitchy master volume dial. They are fine, and currently the best speakers for under $700. Fire up some DVDs and DirectX 8 games...

    Reformatting 2K system, any reason not to install XP instead of 2K?

    Just dual boot 98se and 2k(throw in XP if you must, but you'll regret it later), since this way you'll have across the board windows compatability without the glitches of XP.

    THE best case and cooling

    Addtronics W8500. It's both ATX AND WTX complaint, and it will cool off ANY processor. It has 3 92mm intakes (one bows through the HD cage, cooling them) and 2 80mm fans (one blows on all you 5.25 inch drives. Then since it is a WTX converted case (but let me stress that it is fully complaint...
