    Samsung 2253BW ($250) vs. Samsung T220 ($300)

    so which is better? I hear they both are almost exactly the same. The major difference to me was that the T220 has a built in TV Tuner. I currently don't plan to use my new monitor as a TV but....you never know... Anyways, best bang for buck out of these? What difference do you all know of...

    $500 PC System Build

    I have about $500 and I need everything...basically, I have no PC parts at all. So I need a case, ram, cpu, video card, motherboard, hard drive, cd-rom, psu, monitor, soundcard, keyboard/mouse, speakers etc. I would like the fastest and best pc possible for this amount of money and the fact I...

    eVGA SSC, A1, A3 Models?

    It is just the game you get with the video card. A3 = Crysis A1 = Enemy Territory's: WQuake Wars

    256/512/1024?

    i think 512mb is a sweet spot. 256 is low for newer games and higher resolutions and 1024 is overkill for like 98% of the people.

    Help me understand something, please

    the reason is numbers don't mean everything. real world performance does. basically, they have different architecture - so u should not view the specs equally. 1mhz on nvidia doesnt equal 1 mhz on ati.

    NEW 8800GTS 512MB Reveiwed

    I am not comparing the best case for 8800GT...I can go find a 8800GT right now for $230...best case would be $180 (MSI 8800GT $210 @ Dell + 20% deal + 20% off with Paypal) as for the 8800GTS that is not worse case..worse case would be around $399...$350 is very practical..and most likely going...

    NEW 8800GTS 512MB Reveiwed

    because if you look hard enough you can get a 8800GT for ~$230. You really think if the 8800GTS comes out at $300 (best case) it will be worth an extra $70? And that is at best case. It is more likely the 8800GTS will NOT be $300....it will be closer to $350...cause of gouging for at least the...

    NEW 8800GTS 512MB Reveiwed

    i got my 8800GT for $250...so im happy and don't plan to step up. I bet these 8800GTS (G92) will cost $350 on the low-end when released...$100 worth it? Hell No.

    NEW 8800GTS 512MB Reveiwed

    this new G92 8800GTS is basically equal to an overclocked 8800GT...not worth $300+ imo.

    NEW 8800GTS 512MB Reveiwed

    8800GT is still the better deal imo, especially since this is going to be priced gouged to about $399. I am not going to use my step-up if this review is accurate...maybe if it is only $50 more expensive..but def. not if it is $100+ ($350+)
