    Is Nvidia Getting Sloppy?

    I dunno, with their current value they could probably only afford to buy 100 of the millions of shares outstanding... maybe NVIDIA will buy ATI and shut them down just for the hell of it. :P

    How to connect to the internet using cell phone ?

    Who is your Service Provider? If you have Sprint Vision, you can connect using a USB adapter...you don't actually dial in, you connect like you are connecting to a high speed LAN.

    RCA F36650 36 in. Diagonal Color TV with VPORT? Jack for Xbox/3-Line Digital Comb Filter/dbx® for 539.98 + tax

    The bad thing about some RCA sets is the build quality...be sure to get an extended warranty. For example, they make a 38" widescreen HDTV (biggest direct view HDTV in existence) and the picture quality is absolutely dead on. However, it has a very high defect rate. Double-edged sword to say...

    Poor WAN gaming performance - Netgear MR314 ???
