    Refurb! JBL DCR600 - Home Theater Reciever (DTS, Logic7, Dolby Digital) - $181.04

    Ok after further research I am going back on my claim that MP3 decoding just means digital inputs. After poking around ebay and google i found this: DAL-150 USB -> PCM Interesting little device. I guess this would be useful for someone that doesn't have a soundcard with digital outs...

    Refurb! JBL DCR600 - Home Theater Reciever (DTS, Logic7, Dolby Digital) - $181.04

    <edit>see DAL-150 post below</edit> I also found this which doesn't make too much sense to me but maybe one of you can explain: Harman Kardon MP3

    Office Depot BM- Gateway M505X Centrino Laptop - $999.01

    I purchased this laptop last Friday @ Office Depot and the Mobility Radeon 9600 has been runnning great so far on the WoW beta. Definately a significant difference vs my Compaq X1000 which has a Mobility Radeon 9200. From what I've read the new Mobility Radeon x800 kicks serious butt, however...

    Fry's 1G Mushkin dual channel PC3200 $129.99 after 20MIR

    My situation is that I need to purchase (2) 512mb sticks of memory. Currently I will be using it on a non dual channel motherboard (@ PC2700). I'm just trying to plan ahead for when I will need a CPU/Mobo upgrade soon. So I guess being that the Mushkin is Cas 2.5 it is faster and therefore...

    I think that most likely the Mushkin memory at Fry's are these: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-146-219&amp;depa=0 Cas 2.5-4-4 How does this compare to the Corsair Value Select PC3200?

    Fry's 1G Mushkin dual channel PC3200 $129.99 after 20MIR

    I don't think it's Mushkin Blue, if you go to newegg.com Mushkin sells a basic "green" series as well. From what I can tell the Corsair is cas 3 vs Mushkin cas 2.5, however I'm not sure on the other timing specs as it's been awhile since I bought memory.

    Fry's 1G Mushkin dual channel PC3200 $129.99 after 20MIR

    Looks like a pretty hot deal for both the Corsair and the Mushkin. Since they are basically about the same price after rebate anyone have any comments as to which one of these sticks is better? Thanks
