    SSD: Intel G2 160GB vs Crucial RealSSD C300 256

    Best place to buy terminated Speaker Wire

    Before I start, I did read the 'General Home Theater Audio Thread'. I just moved and the movers stripped almost all of my speaker cables, pulled off most of the connectors. They are going to replace them. Some of them were pre-terminated speaker wires, with the connectors already on them...

    GTX 260 SLI vs 4870x2

    I am not trying to start any flame wars or NV vs ATI. As I stated in an early post: I am upgrading from a 8800GTX SLI setup. One 8800GTX died and I gave the other one to one of my out-laws (brother-in-law). I game at 1920x1200. I am playing most of the new games (Mass Effect, Company of...

    6-pin PCIE to 8-pin PCIE adapter?

    I don't think that will work. I read somewhere that the MB 8-pin is different than the PCIE 8-pin. I think they even made the connectors on the pins different, so you could not mistakenly do that.

    6-pin PCIE to 8-pin PCIE adapter?

    So I think I have decided to go with a 4870x2, I would like to go with Visiontek because of their warranty. I have a 1K Watt Power supply that I would rather not replace. It has 4 6-pin PCIE connectors. I have noticed most 4870x2 do no include a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter, like some the...
