    K8M890/K8N890? Pleeaase ship soon!

    I'm dying for a mobo with integrated graphics and 2 or 3 pci-e x1 slots! Sick of my gigabit card in my old KT133 (ASUS A7V, classic) topping out at around 500mbps, 20mbyte/sec in samba! Anyone have a good estimate of when these boards will actually be available?

    Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook, 1.6GHz, 15.4" WXGA, 1GB DDR, 60GB, DVD±RW, XP Pro, 802.11b/g only $980.20 + Free Shipping

    The 35% applies to the whole price, upgrades included. And if YOU want to go into it, it wasn't 800 off 2000, it was 750, which is 37.5% Edit: My bad, I was thinking of the deal earlier this month where it was 750 off. I missed this other one.. Like I said, if you configured it for exactly...

    The 600 off 1699 is better by .3% if you have a config that is exactly 1699.. otherwise 35% is better

    OrbAudio speakers

    This deal is hot or not depending on your style. The company appeals on style... they may be the best 3" drivers ever, they are not going to compete with decent 2-way speakers with 5-6" woofers. If you have a subwoofer already, it will be closer, but tweeters and bigger midranges exist for a...

    Why are the Techs at COMCAST so damn stupid??

    DNS servers often firewall pings. I agree that DNS was almost definitely down though. It could have been just your route to the server.

    3000+ or 3200+?

    My 10 cents: No. You will never notice it. Save the money for the next processor that destroys the A64 in everything rather than is 10% faster in a few apps. OC the 3000+ as far as you can, and be happy.

    4X PCI-E slot?

    If not, this sucks. I'll have a 1x sound card or an additional gigabit card long before I drop $$$ on SCSI or a PPU.

    4X PCI-E slot?

    Some nforce4 mobos have a 4x pci-e slot, what are these good for? gigabit ethernet only requires 1x, and video cards are 16x. Is there going to be a 4 way splitter for this slot or something? Edit: will 1x cards even fit in this 4x slot?

    CompUSA - Seagate 160G - $59.99 after $100 MIR .. Hot??

    What he is saying is that your local CompUSA has paid shipping charges to have their merchandise shipped to the store, while if you buy online, YOU pay the shipping charges. Therefore part of the sticker price at your local store is the SHIPPING CHARGE. :disgust:
