    Easy memory question

    My memory on my packing slip says 400mhz (or PC3200)? It also says dual channel. If it has to be 533mhz how is this possible? Here is what it says: 512MB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 400MHz (2x256M)

    Video (and few other things) questions.

    Thank you all. I will get the X800XL and probably will stick with the ide HD until I need to add another optical drive.

    Video (and few other things) questions.

    I just picked up the 8400 deal that everyone got in on. My questions: 1) I am going to get rid of the X300SE and pick something else up. Should I get the X700 Pro, the X800XL, or the BFG 6600GT OC? Games I would play with this would be Counterstrike: Source on a 2005 fpw. I want to...

    Need a recommendation

    Man you guys are awesome. From what it seems I can play with ti4200 at crappy resolution with some slowdown. I see if I upgrade to a 6600gt I can play with nice framerates with good resolution. THanks so much people. Guess I will be purchasing a 6600gt.

    Doom 3 = disappointment

    Man I cannot stand people like this. Do you have any MP3's that you currently don't own the CD. Any software that a friend gave you but still kept installed on his computer. Do you ever speed? Do you ever jaywalk? Do you ever eat sunflower seeds and throw the sheel out the window or on the...

    Doom 3 = disappointment

    THe only problem I have with the game is that I am out of ammo too much. I see all of theses lockboxes with ammo in tehm but you need a 3 digit security code to get in and I have no clue where to get those codes. I have rn accross about 10 of these things with no chance of getting in them.

    HOT?! Telex 2.1 multimedia speakers $40 at Compusa.com (MSRP $200!)

    They are full of s*** if they said it was a hacker. I have a friend who works at Comp. He said they do this from time to time and to prove it wasn't a mistake they cost for the store was $37.24 so they are still making a profit of almost $2. He explained that this is not the real cost but the...

    Try booting with 100 mhz bus. Guarantee it works. This board is supposed to work with a 133fsb but it only seems to boot at 100 for everyone.

    DEAD: Viewsonic 18" LCD VG800 $216!

    Why shouldn't they get a bad rating on resellers rating? If I go on Ebay and sell something for a low price and I don't sell it to the buyer and say I accidentally priced the reserve too low, I get bad feedback. Why shouldn't they? This is a professional organization. Pay someone to monitor...
