    "Best" TV under $1000?

    I got a sony something-something-ex500 46" for $900, really happy with it so far. Haven't noticed any lag in games as long as I use game mode on it.

    playstation 3 shortage?

    thanks! not sure if that's enough to warrant holding off - assuming I can actually find one at a non-gouging price ;)

    All Mac Switchers... list your favorite software

    Textmate, Adium, MacTheRipper, NeoOffice, and OmniOutliner are all amazing and I use most of them every day. Preview, Safari, and iTunes come with the OS of course, but are also excellent.

    E2xxx and E4xxx overclock thread

    I did have to RMA one. But it doesn't seem like it will be a disaster waiting to happen necessarily from some other posts I've read so I think I'm going to go for it. How do you like your IP35e?

    E2xxx and E4xxx overclock thread

    I'm really interested in getting one of these and OC'ing it. I already have an Antec Smartpower 2.0 500W power supply, it's dual rail though so I'm unsure if that will be a bad thing. 17A on one and 19A on the other. I'm probably going to get a 8800gt to go with it. Do any of you have...

    what motherboards have the ALC882D audio chipset?

    yes this is exactly what i want to do. there seems to be a very small # of motherboards with this capability currently, so i might be forced to buy a secondary card :-/

    thanks for the link. the only stepping info i'm getting off the 165 OPN is 'E6' which doesn't seem to match any part of info from anyone's info in their sig...

    are the opteron 165s still the bee's knees?

    is there any way of determining stepping before buying new? i mean are there stores that will sell certain guranteed steppings or should i be looking on the used market?

    are they still the dual core chip to get for overclocking? i'm also open to single cores if there's anything besides the 'obvious' 3200 venice to go after...

    what motherboards have the ALC882D audio chipset?

    I notice that the Abit AT8 has it, but I'm wondering what other boards have this audio chipset. It seems like it could be a worthy successor to Soundstorm (peace be upon it...)

    ChenBro Game Bomb case.

    i bought the case and it's quite nice. but i had to remove the screwless card holder thing to put the agp and pci cards in... and still almost had to break them to get them in. i'm not sure if that's a defect in my particular case, a defect in the model as a whole, or the motherboard, or how i...

    why does my dvd drive rip dvd's so slowly?

    well flashed it with TDB 2.1A firmware... still doesn't go that fast, like maybe 6, but, a lot better. at least it's no longer faster to rip it on my other pc, then transfer the whole dvd over wireless ;)

    SP2004 question

    i think there is a bug in sp2004. it will pop up the windows 'sorry this program has to close...' message after exactly two minutes, but then not close. in fact exiting the program, the process continues to run and eat cpu cycles and ram. very bizarre. i guess i'm just going back to good old...

    why does my dvd drive rip dvd's so slowly?

    my NEC 3500AG drive doesn't ever rip DVDs with DVD decrypter at faster than about 3x, maybe 4x occasionally. my 3550A, on a very similar computer, will rip them at 8x, 9x... and higher. the same DVDs too. i haven't noticed any other differences, say with write speeds or anything... just these...

    power supply weirdness

    Clif Notes: Voltages are low but it worked fine at heavy load for almost 2 weeks. I got one total lockup today right after confirming the 5 and 12 volt readings with a DMM. I want feedback as to whether to RMA it. Less than two weeks ago I built a new PC using a Fortron 350W PSU that I got...
