    Dell PowerEdge 400SC P4 2.8HT for $388 / P4 3.2 $748 after $150 MIR/coupon (basic configuration) [3.2 deal Warm]

    Curious. Will a AGP 4X card work in this system? I've seen a picture of the inside at the AGP 8X slot and wondering if the extra pins section in the end will accomodate the blank section on an AGP 4X card. Thanks, TT

    Dell Dimension 4550, P4 2.4Ghz, 30GIG, 128MB, Free 40X CD-RW, $449 AR ($100 MIR) + Tax

    Anyone think the ATI Radeon 9700 TX is worth getting in this system? for 140 more I'm tempted to get the system under $700 after taxes added up and after rebate. I'm upgrading from a 64mb ATI AIW 8500DV. Basically making this my gaming rig. Thanks Tom T.

    Can you hook up your cable to a AIW Radeon...

    rbV5, How are you able to record a show unattended from the digital cable box? From my understanding, cable in other parts derives straight from a line with no decoder box involved and a TV tuner like my ATI AIW 8500DV would be able to change the channel. I'm my case in NYC I have just...

    Making a TIVO like system with SnapStream PVS and "CABLE PACK"?

    Has anyone used a "Cable Pack" connected to their box top (like New York Time Warner DTV - Digital Cable) to allow the computer to change channels to record shows? I recalled this article and am in this process of setting up a multimedia system at home. <a...

    Raid config on 8IRXP (Gigabyte)

    Has anyone setup RAID 0 on this motherboard? I had the BIOS recognize both identical Quantum drives. I only had a CDROM installed to the regular IDE channels to boot the installation CD for Win XP. How do I initialize the partition for the RAID array to install my OS? Problem being I don't...

    GA-8iRXP Titan Raid issue

    Hey all, Wondering if anyone has success with setting up the RAID configuration for the Gigabyte mobo. I made the array but can one make that the only partition on the system? The system doesn't find the harddrives on the first two IDE channels since they are each on channel 3 and 4...

    ViewSonic A90 19" monitor $104.00) AR at OD B&M - UPDATE #2 Price Drop to 149.00 Time to PM

    Hey guys, If any store gives beef about the price match, I'm pretty sure you can convince the customer service manager that if you were to return it for store credit they would have a monitor in stock to purchase at the lower price. Anyhow the manhatten store I went to price matched to the...

    I've received the ad/promo and I'm wondering where this thing came from. Looking to present this to a manager or something but I would like to know if this was from a local ad or something. Thanks, Shihao

    Gigabyte TITAN DDR 8IRXP and DDR memory from crucial????

    I've got some DDR memory from Crucial I use with my 266 FSB Athlon system. Going to use one stick for my TITAN board to go with a 1.8A Ghz P4 Northwood chip. The chip is PC2100 266mhz 256 chip and I was wondering if I can use this with the board and cpu or if I should get PC2400 memory for the...

    <FONT face=Verdana size=1>PSYWVic I guess the OD guys didn't look at the rebate carefully. Can it still be valid for rebates to go to the same place? Hrmm, just as I suspected with the rebates. What if we try to send both in however? I don't want to blow $50 bucks when they get another...

    MSI ULTRA ARU or AR + P4 1.8a or P4 1.6????

    Thanks guys, I wanted to get this topic out on both forums since it applies to both. It's the interesting remark about the +PC2400 memory that actually made it worth while to post in both. I've decided on looking for the 1.6A and if I can't I'll get the 1.8A. As far as the MSI is concerned...
