    Domestic is dead!

    Is it me, or would this be simply capitalism in action? Make crappy, overpriced product - someone else makes a better one (or is a better marketer, both are valid), the bad one goes bye bye. Or, the government steps in to "save jobs."

    Why are rechargable AA, AAA, C, D, batteries 1.2 volts?

    6 Cells in a Car battery x 2.2v = around 13 volts FYI, That's why only measuring 12v across the terminals means it's discharged to some extent.

    How do I prove Hardware Failure???

    I disagree. If remove all the cards and start adding them back one-by-one, you can diagnose a motherboard problem a whole lot quicker. Take off all cards, stick in an old PCI video card that you know works, and try to boot. if it still doesn't work, its not any of the expansion cards....

    Best LCD 20" and over with 1600x1200

    You have no idea obviously... 1600x1200 is THE perfect resolution. Period. (I'd use it on a 17" monitor, and as for it being "small", you realize you can change the DPI setting in windows and everything is "big" again?) 1024x768 is the next 640x480....

    Quadro4 versus Radeon 7500

    That quadro4 is based on the geforce4, while the 7500 is based on the original Radeon64... Choose the quadro. In actuallity, if you are doing video editing only, it really doesn't matter between the two. You might want to look into an All In Wonder card, though.

    Question about all these 3D card benchmark scores...

    Btw, what are your rig's specs? If you have a slower rig it might be better to stick that money elsewhere and purchase a card later, as in closer to HL2 and D3...

    Question about all these 3D card benchmark scores...

    the 9600 would be better "future-proofed" against obselecence because of its DX 9 compatibility. and, of course, it will blow away the ti4200 with AA and Aniso on...

    hey mods, did ya miss me?

    Why would you single out the mods like that? You want attention from them? EDIT: They aren't as humorous as they were in a happier time, too. :D
