Good deal for a Gigabit router, but I'd rather wait till those Wireless-N routers go down on price. Wireless-G is old technology nowadays, and I'm weary on buying anything on that at this point. Even when you consider the fact that Wireless-N isn't finalized yet. But that's just me though.

Technically 1080p CAN be accepted via component perfectly, like the westinghouse 37w3 or 42w2. But some TV/monitor sets don't support 1080p over component. Those that DO support is quite rare. I'm not sure if Samsung 244T accepts 1080p over component. I know that Dell 2407FPW doesn't. Then...

I did the upgrade from RC1 just fine. Boot up vista, Put in the CD, run setup, update the setup, enter product key, agree license agreement, choose upgrade, and that's it.

I was saying that Guild Wars has a smaller scale.

In original guild wars, there are 2 4v4 (Random Team and Arranged Team) and 2 8v8 (Domination-style, CTF-stype, and guild vs guild) battles. In factions (standalone expansion) there's even 16v16 alliance battles. You can create a player that is suited for PvP right from the start (max level and...

It all depends on your taste. Keep in mind that Guild Wars isn't MMORPG strictly speaking. For me, I chose Guild Wars. The gameplay really stresses on teamplay and your skills that doesn't depend on your equipment. There is simply no equipment or build that is the most uber l33t(...) because...

Why this doesn't surprise me? It's quite obvious that at higher res, the GPU limitation comes into play. The main advantage would be that C2D will be able to give a lot more headroom when faster GPUs come. I would still get a Core 2 Duo if I hadn't upgraded mine months ago. But going for...

evga step-up will cover the costs you paid for the graphic card, NOT INCLUDING the rebate amount, tax amount, and shipping amount.

ahhh but there's really no choice if you're a diehard Final Fantasy fan........

7800GT performance is reviewed on mid-range cards. I compared it with the 7900GT that was in high-end card section. (comparing results with the same res, settings obviously)

Anandtech review.

With 7800GT SLI offering slightly better performance over 7900GTX from the benchmarks, I'd rather get another 7800GT and SLI it.

That's why I said for new owners, a 7900GT is a better option. For current 7800 users like me, I'd rather go SLI if I want improvements.

Agreed. This is the first time where I see SLI option is better.

I was thinking about moving up from 7800 to 7900, but when I was comparing the 7900GT to 7800GT, the difference was only a few FPS for all the games it tested. Even when you compare 7900GTX to 7800GTX 512MB, you'll see that the difference is only a few FPS. This proves that unless you...
