    pick me a new video card

    Thanks for the replies--can't do a pc upgrade anytime soon. I'm looking for something that will reliably let me capture streaming video using Camtasia or something like it. I'll check out the links--i like the idea of spending less than $100 :) It sucks that my $300 video card from a few yrs...

    pick me a new video card

    I just picked up a 2407wfp to go alongside my 2405. Now I need the best video card I can get without being overkill for my older system (in my sig). This will mostly be for video--amd specifically video capture. (well, maybe a little for games). I notice a lot of stuttering with my current...

    Looking for a match for my 2405

    I've had my 2405 for a few years and have been really happy with it. I'm looking for another 24" to go alongside it for not too much money. The ST2410 is on sale for under $200. Would that be a good match? Which one gives a better picture? I'm also looking for a good two monitor stand for...

    Are all the Netflix instant play movies available for browsing on the 360?

    I just found out the max size of the queue as I was adding more movies: 500. Time to start getting rid of those Charles in Charge episodes!

    halo3 or gears2?

    +1 to this--it's too bad that COD4 killed the hype on this. It's a really cool game. Sorta like COD with lots of vehicles to use.

    QUICK AGP help--9600pro or 6200?

    I'm looking to buy a card for a friend w/in the hour. I'm looking at around the $50 mark--no gaming or anything so looking for a pretty basic card. Both of these are about the same price--which would you recommend? Thanks!

    Anyone have any tips on shaving? Razor burn is a bitch.

    One more vote for shaving in the shower--get yourself a fog free mirror and you're good to go. unless you drop your razor :shocked:

    Jello?s latest speaker adventures

    Couple o' questions for you: I've got old school 550s in my HT right now and haven't gotten around to upgrading the X-over. Did you buy the MKIIs or make them yourself (and if so, how much of a difference did you notice before and after)? How much of a difference in watching movies do you...

    Pre-orders for Toshiba HD-A3, HD-A30, and HD-35 HD DVD players are now available

    Great price--plus VE is a really good (safe) place to buy. Of course these aren't out yet so we'll have to cross our fingers on how much better they are than current gen

    Problem with first OC?

    I've got my HTT multi at 3x already. My ram timings are set at 2.5-3-2-5 (from the default 2-3-2-5). Other than those main timings, there are some settings sitting on auto, but I have no idea what to hard set them to. Any advice? Thanks again

    Problem with first OC?

    I dropped the HTT to 246 so I'm running 2.46 at 1.4V. I just hit a little over 92K on Aquamark, but am still under 7K on 3DMark05 (which is still below my pre-OC score). My Opty is a CCBWE 0536 which I knew wasn't one of the best ones but I still expected to hit 2.6 on stock. I have a 5/6...

    Problem with first OC?

    I think I did that correctly already--I was able to get the cpu up to 2.6, but that was at 1.525V and I didn't feel comfortable w/ the temps or that much voltage so I backed it off. I was only able to get the ram up to 210 MHz with the default timings and a VDimm of 2.7. Once I loosened the...

    Problem with first OC?

    I'm in the middle of my first OC with a 170 that I bought a little over a year ago and am now finally getting around to OC it. I've had the CPU at a little over 2.4 GHZ (from 2.0) at 1.375v. I was expecting to be able to hit 2.6 at stock so I'm a little disappointed. My results from an HTT...
