    Fuji 8X 3 packs at CVS

    I guess it all depends on the cashier. I didn't need to buy anything else to get the $5 off.

    Fuji 8X 3 packs at CVS

    I hope this isn't a repost. CVS has their 3 packs of Fuji DVD- and DVD+ disc on a buy 1 get 1 free sale ($4.99 each). They also have some sort of grand opening sale and their current sales flyer has a $5 off a $10 purchase. I was able to get 3 8X DVD+r 3 packs and a 8x DVD-r 3 pack for $5 +...

    I saw a comercial today for a free preview weekend for Showtime channels. I believe it is this weekend. Can anyone confirm? Not sure if this is just DishNetwork.

    Warm. Santa Cruz Turtle Beach 6-speaker DSP sound card

    I think this is still a great price. I bought one a while back and have had no problems with it. I am a little concerned that they haven't updated their drivers in a while. I checked out their new line of soundcards (Riviera and Catalina) and they appear to be inferior in many respects. I...

    HUGE $4.99 Game Clearance at Circuit City stores

    I managed to pick up a 3 PS2 games today. The only game I didn't get on the clearance sale was Activision Anthology because it still rang up the "normal" price. There are still a few games at the Fort Worth (hulen) and Hurst stores.

    Centon 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM $59.99 w/ free shipping

    I picked up a 512MB memory module today. I noticed that most had 2 sets of stickers on all their different types of RAM. The module I picked up states that it has CL2.5 and it has a sort of sideways mickey mouse outline logo. I did see others with Nanya(?) and one other name I forgot. Does...

    ATI 9800 PRO 128 $179 @ Frys in Bay Area

    Quick question for those who were able to keep the printout rebate from best Buy. What address does the rebate list? I was unable to get the printout rebate but was able to price match to the Fry's price. I will send in the rebate from the BB website but wanted to verify it was going to the...

    HOT?! Telex 2.1 multimedia speakers $40 at Compusa.com (MSRP $200!)

    I picked up a pair of the EV SonicXJR speakers for $14.99. I was also able to use the 25% off coupon so it drop the price down to like $11.25. I got them at the Hurst, TX store and there were 2 left. Just set them up and I am able to compare them to my Logitech z-340s. I found the z-340 a...

    I fixed it. I needed to install the 4 in 1 drivers. Now it shows it as 4x.

    AGP (PCI mode) - is this normal?

    I was checking the advanced settings properties tab under display properties to verify what video settings I have configured. However, I noticed that under adapter information the bus is listed as AGP (PCI mode). This doesn't sound right. Does any else see this as well? Everything else...

    32 bit color - video display problems with ti4200

    I just bought a GF4 TI 4200 8x with 128MB (Asylum) and have noticed that I get all kinds of "incorrect" dots on my desktop. For example, my background is the standard blue color but I see lots of white spots all over the desktop. This also scrabbles some of the text as well. This all happens...

    9500 PRO and Win 98SE

    Is it possible to install an ATI 9500 PRO into a system with Windows 98 SE? I know that the box states that OSs supported are XP/2000/Me but I wanted to know if anyone has been able to install the card with 98SE. If so, are there any tricks to it?

    GF4 4200 128MB or spend $60 more for 9500 Pro?

    I hope I can get some advice on this purchase. I am just about set to buy a TI 4200 with 128MB but am hesitant because the ATI 9500 Pro is about $60 more. I want a card that will be useful for at least a year and I do a moderate amount of gaming. I figure the price difference isn't that great...
