    1 GB (2 pcs 512) DDR2 (533) PC2-4200 Patriot Signature

    Thank you. This is just what I was looking for for my new Dell. Only having 512 MB is killing me in WoW with the stuttering frames.

    Free Colgate Toothbrush

    Seems like an interesting research project. They're getting data from various brands of toothbrushes. They can note the bristle wear for design effectiveness and common brushing habits towards developing a better toothbrush. They're using real world data rather than data gathered from machine...

    Decent 5.1 Speakers?

    Should go to some site where they review many different speakers. NewEgg customer reviews are much like my own. Limited experience based off un-similar products. I figured, since my Sennheiser headphones were awesome at delivering clear and crisp sound (said to be found comparable on speaker...

    2 LCD panel price reports contradict each other

    Conspiracy is someone's making LCD prices an issue that's blown up. With more media attention and LG, one of the top panel manufacturers, intending to increase it's prices, yet reducing it's manufacturing cost... By throwing in news that doesn't seemingly make sense, people want to know more...

    I need a quiter hs/fan for this cpu!!

    Good choice. Large diameter fan with quality HS = better cooling at the same RPM. Higher RPM = louder and more annoying high-pitch/high-frequency noise. As long as you have the space for somethat that big and don't mind paying more than half of what your processor costs. :)

    Decent 5.1 Speakers?

    The z-5500s rock. Love my set... but then again, I haven't tried much else. I upgraded from a cheap $20 2.1 set to $180 Sennheiser HD-590s (headphones). I missed the bass, so I decided to go back to a high quality speaker set. I found the z-5500 on sale for about $225 from Dell and went for it...

    No display on monitor

    Well, power supply gives power to mobo. If it's not outputting enough power, some vital parts may not power up correctly. It's like putting a 9800 Pro AIW in a Shuttle with a 150W PS. The fans take minimal power and are always wired in a fail-safe parallel-like method, not in series like...

    2 LCD panel price reports contradict each other

    Contradiction is in the titles. Efficient manufacturing cuts LCD production cost in half Shortages of LCD panel materials could mean higher LCD prices (Demand for LCD desktop monitors surges 26 percent) And there is some conspiracy.

    2 LCD panel price reports contradict each other

    I was thinking that they are encouraging people to buy LCDs now, even though prices will continue to drop. I wonder how many people made up their mind to buy LCD monitors after that first report. I wonder if anyone decided it would be a good investment to buy now and sell during the end of '05.

    AMD wins Best CPU Manufacturer at an Intel sponsered event

    That's not being a sore loser. Being a sore loser is making excuses, whining, and/or directly getting revenge through dishonorable methods. That is just saving themselves from embarrassment. Honor carried foward the act far enough to that point. I respect Intel for that. Making fun of...

    2 LCD panel price reports contradict each other

    New manufacturing process decreases production cost of panels by ~62%. http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050413_163827.html In a related article (link at end of above article), a report says shortages will force LCD (10" and bigger) prices to rise in the last half of '05. Anyone...
