    New build, need some advice - nVidia card

    Bump -> I'd like to get a recommendation for an nVidia card. I'd like to spend between $50 and $80 on the card. I had ASUS EN8600GTTOP/HTDP/256 GeForce 8600 GT in my cart which is currently $55 after rebate. Good card or should I make a change there? I'd like to pull the trigger before...

    New build, need some advice - nVidia card

    I searched newegg.com for ATI 3650 and found quite a few cards. Is there a big difference in manufacturers? One reason I ask is this Asus card seems to have similar / same specs to the card you linked but is "silent" using passive cooling instead. The reviews don't look so good - so...

    New build, need some advice - nVidia card

    Not for the same reason, but I just edited and swapped with an Intel board using the p35 chipset. Thanks modoheo :beer: Any one else have some good recommendations for video cards or anything else in the mix.

    Office Depot...Notebook deals

    I finally got my HP dv8000 today (ordered 2 weeks ago). I'm really impressed with this laptop. I upgraded a few things (screen resolution, DVD burner, Turion64). There are two things I don't like about this laptop: 1.) No DVI out (but for the cost I can't complain) 2.) Broadcom 802.11 is...

    Watch "Inconvenient Truth" in the theaters for free this Friday

    You are absolutly correct, but this thread will hang out here until it becomes a slugfest. I fail to understand why the mods will let someone who has 95% of their posts in Politics/Off Topic come to hot deals with an OBVIOUSLY POLITICAL thread and it not get locked. Let a hot deals regular...
