    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    I'm sorry if I missed this in the thread but, My PATA DVD drive (in IDE slot) is terribly slow in DOS mode. In Windows it's just fine. The problem is, using Acronis True Image to restore an image is taking over an hour, where it would normally take 10min. I have BIOS set to IDE. Have I...

    Long dead brought back to life for whining. Sub-$500 notebooks o' the week 4/9-4/15

    Agreed. tedkelly. It was stupid dragging up a 3 month old thread just so you could speak your mind. Simply stupid. Move on.

    SunRocket VoIP *Everybody is reporting that this is DEAD!* (Free phones, extra number, etc.)

    I signed up last month on the 2 for 1 and have had no problems so far. In and out calls worked immediately, as well as faxing. Overall, it's great. My best friend signed up shortly after I did and has also been pleased. Btw. sunrocketforum.com is great. Some of the posters (like Stewart)...

    Toshiba Upconverting DVD Player with HDMI Output

    Thanks OP. Picked one up today. The only thing missing from this player is multi-disc resume (which is very cool to have). Other that that it's fine, especially for $60.

    Free portable DVD player

    That's a pretty good deal, depending on the quality of the player.

    Linksys VOIP adapter (PAP2) free+tax AR ($60 - $50 GC - $10 rebate) at Circuit City

    I have not seen this reported yet with VoiceBuster: I try to call someone who does not accept blocked numbers, and even though I dial *82 (unblock) I can't get through. Is there a setting in the PAP2 for this that I've missed? Thanks

    Verbatim DVD+R DL 3pk Buy 1 Get 1 Free $19.99 B&M

    FWIW. I backed up LOTRROTKext. onto one DL disk with only about 5% shrinkage, after removing superfluous goo like menus, extra sound tracks, and the 20 minute credits. Came out very well. Looks 100% on my 8' screen.

    BenQ DW1640 oem $40.99 free s/h

    Missing? Not much. However. The retail drive has a 2 year warranty while OEM only 1 year. This could be significant. My retail came with software disk (Nero, etc.) and 2 screws. Oh...and a pretty box. Heh If you didn't see, Micro Center is selling the retail version in-store (where I...

    BenQ DW1640 oem $40.99 free s/h

    Sure. TY's are good overall. Mine burn at up to 16x (T02's), though I burn at 12. 16x have quite a bit more errors, so not worth a few less seconds. ;) Use firmware B7P9 (or OEM equiv.) or higher. Then get the MediaCodeSpeedEdit (MCSE) tool from cdfreaks and set the speed of your media to...

    BenQ DW1640 oem $40.99 free s/h

    They didn't get to be so popular by being a bad drive. Mine is fantastic. Most likely it comes down to the media you are using. The 1620 prefers + media, and Taiyo Yuden's at that. Truly excellent burns. All burners were not created equal. Do research on what works best with what.
