In the Philadelphia area, those bags were down to $12.49 as of this past Thursday (2/6)

ECost has these in USB2 model for $259 shipped. They are a good reputable on-line vendor. Link

The only problem I see is that, as per the Starwoods website: "Starwood Preferred Guest members can transfer up to 39,999 Starpoints into Qantas Frequent Flyer points at a 1-to-2 ratio. And for every 20,000 Starpoints transferred, you'll earn 5,000 bonus Starpoints, which will be automatically...

And free shipping through 5/31...

Use Amex to pricematch at $59 at either ENPC.com or SoftwareandStuff.com to save an additional $20. That makes this an $18.00 deal!

Anyone know of another website selling the Artec scanner for purposes of doing an AMEX pricematch? Would seem to be an easy proposition given Staples near-list starting prices, but I cannot seem to locate anyone else selling this model.

My status showed up yesterday as "DENIED," the reason being that I had allegedly not enclosed a receipt. I had used the Order Statement printable from the Gateway Accessories website and which is stated by Gateway as being its receipt for purchases. I called www.wheresmyrebate.com (which...

Yep, that did it. You need to make sure the s/pdif is selected through the ASUS PCI Audio Applications software. These speakers were a great deal for $39 or so from CompGeeks!

Has anyone used their digital (S/PDIF) out on the Asus P4B266 MB? Here is my dilemma: I purchased some Boston Acoustics BA7500G digital surround speakers w/ subwoofer. These require a digital signal. The digital in for the speaker system, though, uses a miniplug (i.e. the same sort of jack...

Hmmmmm.... My only card is my modem. Perhaps I'll move it and see if there is any effect. Once XP releases the native 2.0 driver, this might solve any conflict issues.

EDC03: All of my USB ports work, including those run to the 2.0 header on the mainboard. What I am NOT seeing is a USB 2.0 hub appear in my device list as others here have reported. Leaving me with the question of whether my system has everything it needs to support 2.0 or not...

Well, my jumper was factory-set to disable USB 2.0. I changed this jumper, detected new hardware and..... still nothing. The 4 USB ports run to the 2.0 header work, but my Hardware Manager does not list a 2.0 Root Hub. From what I've read elsewhere and on Microsoft's site (I am running XP...

I'll check that jumper when I get home, but the manual states default is "enabled" and I never touched it. I have four "USB Root Hub"s in my device list, just no "USB Root Hub 2.0." I plugged in a mouse and digital camera into two of the four USB 2.0 sockets and they work, indicating to me the...

I have a P4B266 and also do not see a specific device listed for a USB 2.0 hub. I downloaded the update from the Asus website and according to the accompanying documenation, successful installation should be reflected by "asustek usb enhanced host controller" appearing in the device list...

I didn't have any crashes myself, but I did update with a more recent sound driver from the Asus website.
