Ok, everyone is going crazy trying to figure out EXACTLY what this CPU is. Only TigerDirect and NewEgg are selling them. We think it is a Newcastle core at 130nm, 800HT, 512kb L2. Please help provide as much detail as possible so we can finally answer the question. This CPU is NOT listed...

Yes.. it will work. I have a linksys WRT54G in the basement of my house... going to a WPC54G card I can get 100ft into by backyard... signal is low... 25%... but if I bring the WRT54G up to main level it is not a problem, signal increases significantly. This is with stock antennas... If you...

Two words.... LeadTek WinFast TV 2000 Deluxe ok maybe 5 words...

Save your $$$.. Buy an ATI card... without AIW capabilities... and then pick up a LeadTek WinFast TV2000 Deluxe.. You will be much happier.. spend less $$$ and get a FM Tuner included for free. I was in the same boat... which AIW to buy. All I really wanted to do was to increase my gaming...

No question about it... go with LeadTek.. I used to be an AIW diehard... until I got a Winfast TV2000 Deluxe. Now I can't figure out why ATI even sells AIW's. ATI software has always been EXTREMELY buggy and the TV replay feature was a joke. I have had no problems with the software with...

I capture around 3000 per sec... This is high.. but you will want to use TMPEG to convert to SVCD anyway... I recommend using KVCD templates (www.kvcd.net). They do an unbelievable job in converting and shrinking the file. They claim to put 180 minutes on a CD... and it does actually work.

Forget the ATI... go get yourself a LeadTek TV2000 Deluxe... for $52...!!! It has a TV Tuner, FM Tuner, IR Remote and the software is MUCH better than ATI's.. It will capture in 720 x 480 30fps on an XP1700 and use 70% cpu... Also it is a separate card from your gaming card... which is...

Forget the All In Wonder... I often Wondered why my didn't work quite right.. Also tying the capture to your gaming video card is STUPID!. Instead... do what I did... buy yourself a good gaming card.... Radeon 9500Pro (or better)... then take a look at LeadTek TV2000 Deluxe. I was...

I have the same problem... but it is the drive... I have had 2 WD 120BB that cannot sustain a tranfer rate. Both worked for about 2 months... then scored went WAY down. Reformatted, moved to different computer... drive is junk. WD is sending my 3rd to try... Could be a quality issue with...

I am on my 2nd Western Digital 120GB 7200 drive. First one had a transfer rate problem.... now the 2nd one has the same problem. Drive seems to work for first month or so... then gets real slow... Tested with HDTach and even a simple Nero test. Both show the drive transmitting at 3MB/sec...

The reviews on anandtech.com are great... but missing something. I recently read in EWeek an article about power and cost. As you know the newer processors, hard drives, video cards, etc are taking more power than ever... and generating more heat.. All of this translates into costs to operate...
