    Where's my 6800GS agp?

    Woe is me for I too am waiting on the release to update my 9600 PRO. I even sent an email to Newegg asking for an update. Their reply was "if it ain't on the website, we don't know about it". Sigh.:brokenheart:

    Goal: Upgrade 9600Pro AGP for $200 or less

    My trusty Radeon 9600Pro has served me well, but, it is time to move on. I would like to replace it with an AGP card costing @$200 before there are no longer any premium cards being made for the AGP slot. I play BF2, etc. Many thanks for your help Suggestions?

    ReplayTV 5040 $119.99 ~ 5060 (Ref) $189.99 + S/H

    I need a hardened case that can be shipped via

    Fedex or take a ride as checked baggage without dumping all the board at the bottom of the case. I demo software for a living and my Dell 530's "tool free" features turn it into a workstation kit after a ride on USAir. I'm getting tired of having to re-build my system in front of prospective...

    Are there any valid reasons to place an adapter in promiscuous mode?

    Pardon my ignorance, but.... Would this excess load cause a slowdown in the transmission times of large data sets to the node? Would it affect system performance in other ways?

    Are there any valid reasons to place an adapter in promiscuous mode?

    Other than network monitoring? One of our vendors has a medical software package running on a node on our network to post process CT scanner images for teleradiology. The network adapter is set in promiscuous mode and the vendor claims that the overhead required to "lock down" their product...

    Red Hot-Linksys 802.11b PC Card free after rebate

    Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I sat down to fill out the forms today and noticed that the rebate was ONLY if you bought a P4 laptop. They said nothing about that in the store. Sorry for posting the Dud. Does CompUsa always give you rebate forms for rebates that aren't valid?

    Problem Solved!!! Anyone else having problems with the Speedstream 2624?

    Absztrak They made some changes in their tech support recently. Now there is no option that will get you a live body....it is just a menu with voice messages that direct you to their web page knowledge base. I am now up to my third e-mail to these folks with no hope of an RMA. I have come...
