Hrm... wondering if it would be better to get this, or the 60GB 7200 with 8MB cache that is on sale for $60 AR at CC (or is it BB?)...

Does this drive have an 8MB Cache? or just 2MB? Can't find any info on the product page that tells which model it is.

MSN was extended until the 22nd I think

CC showing out of stock for me. Keep in mind, if you do happen to score one at CC, you can get 20% back from MSN, so it's $32 after MSN w/ free shipping.

The MSN Dollar thing is a pretty hot deal I think. I look at it this way... if I can find a good deal on stuff at their participating stores AND get 20% back to spend in Feb, then I'm coming out ahead. I've been doing some x-mas shopping using this and already have my $100 in MSN Dollars...

Ordered one last week and the darn thing broke 10 minutes into SW EP 2 (which was the first DVD I tried watching on it)... ugh. Picture froze and it started making noises like it was choking to death on the DVD.. lol. Now it just says disc error for anything I put in it :\ I heard it's a nice...

There are 3 different watches to choose from. Looks like the price dropped to $70 also (still with free shipping), might want to change the post title :) Watch Link

Hehe... who wants to read a book when you can have the whole thing displayed to you in two hours in colorful high-budget eye candy? :D

WC3 is $34.99 at GoGamer.com (CompuExpert). You have to pay shipping, but they are a reliable company. -Tom edit:: scratch that, looks like they raised the price to $37.99

I recently found a Hollywood Video near my house that rents DVDs and videos for 99 cents all the time and video games for $2.99 (also found like 3 stores that don't). It's too bad all their stores don't do it, maybe BlockBuster would be forced to drop their prices a bit. For now, I'll drive...

I heard that controller was real nice... friend of mine says he can control the video game from like 3 stories down from his apartment.. lol. Of course, there's really no point in doing that, but you get the idea :) If the controller is a reasonable price on their site, then the $10 off is a...

One difference between the OEM and the retail Radeons is that the clockspeed is lower on the OEM...I think it's a difference of like 25MHz. I don't know how noticeable it is though. The 8500 definately seems to be a good card though... if I didn't already have a Radeon in my system, I'd be...

I'm currently using a 512MB stick of PC2700 DDR Mushkin and I've had no problems with it, unlike some flakey PNY ram that I had in my old system... I've always heard that Mushkin is one of the better brands, I would buy more, if I had room for it :) Good deal. -Tom

Here is a comparison done by Tom's Hardware... hope it helps. Radeon 8500 / GF3 Ti500 comparison -Tom
