    Upgrade to eVGA GTX 280?

    Hello All I currently have a eVGA 9800 GX2. I see the awesome benchmarks of the GTX 280, and was curious if an upgrade would be worth it? I know that in some games the GX2 is close/same as GTX 280, but all in all, I see the GTX 280 beating the GX2. Plus if I get the 280 now, I would possibly...

    Gaming mice!

    Speaking of the MX1000, does anyone know where to get one? I have the mouse and my kids broke it. I'd love to buy another one, but the only place I can find one is ebay and I'm not so trusting of everything I see on ebay. I found it one other place, but they wanted $149 for just a mouse!!!

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    No performance issues. I just HAVE the Step Up that I can utilize and want to know if it's worth utilizing it, or would it be better to keep what I got. As someone already told me, whether I keep the Ultra or get the 9800GX2, I'd still have a kicka!! card. If it's worth the deal, I'd like to...

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    I did ACTUALLY pay $700 for it though. Dell then reimbursed me $250 after the fact, but after all I've read, I'll be keeping the Ultra, possibly buying another down the road. I still am not sure if my PSU will support SLI on Ultras. It's not on the SLI list for Ultra SLI certified PSUs - does...

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    I pay shipping, and since the Ultra costs more than the 9800GX2, then no, I pay nothing else. (and no, they don't give me the difference of the two cards.)

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    I really ask about the power supply because on SLI Zone.com the lowest PCP&P psu that they certify for 2 Ultras is the Turbo Cool 860W psu. I know they certify these for SLI, but I don't want to spend $260+ just to have a SLI certified psu.

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    Actually, on that comment, I had a separate question...If I kept the Ultra and decided to get another when the prices drop, would the Power Supply in my sig (PCP&P) be able to power 2 Ultras?

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    I can't believe no one else has no input on this question! (Thank you for the few that did respond) I thought that other people would have the same question and want to get more input...

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    No, I wouldn't get a refund for anything. Actually, remember when Dell was offering that MSI OC'd 8800GT? Well, I ordered 2 of them and when I called to inquire as to why they weren't shipping 5 days after they said the cards would ship, they offered a consolation of the next card coming out...

    Step up from 8800 Ultra to 9800 GX2?

    Hello All I've been on the eVGA site as well looking for some insight on this. I have the 8800 Ultra and qualify for eVGA's extended 120-day Step Up to the 9800 GX2 promo. Some downsides of the 9800 GX2 are the bus width and the lower memory. I know that they are both times 2, but some of...

    Setting up RAID5...

    Hi All I'd like to set up RAID 5 with my 3-320GB drives. I tried this once when I bought the third drive, but ran into a problem. I'd set up the RAID in the BIOS and start to install XP. When I finished XP and started to install Vista (I have dual boot, XP and Vista Ultimate 32bit), it'd run...
