    Evga step up

    Evga step up says that all packaging, etc must be included and undamaged on the card you send in... has anyone stepped up using a card that had a MIR and therefore was missing the UPC? I'm curious if that's allowed, since technically the packaging is damaged.

    Wow, XFX, amazing.

    Ok, so 8800gt cooler sucks and isnt big enough for the card. So what do the manu's do? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814150273 Slap an even smaller cooler on it. Bravo. Just Bravo.

    Ok that's it. I'm buying an 8800gts. My 8800gt locked up running TF2 @ stock settings with fan @ 50% in a 75*F room. This is not acceptable. RMA incoming, 8800gts purchased. $128 9600gt? Good deal. $153 8800gt? Bad deal. $206 8800gts? Hopefully good deal. Frankly if I hadn't sold...

    9600gt to 8800gt The good the bad and the ugly

    The good: Hellgate London went from 45fps avg @ max dx9's 1680x1050 to 50fps... dips arent as noticable, better gameplay. Memory clocks to 1000mhz, 9600gt only managed 980 or so. The bad: This card is slower than the 9600gt in crysis @ 1024, equal at 1280 and only a couple fps faster...

    8800gts g92 better than 8800gtx?

    I just read the 9800gx2 review at overclockers club and noticed that their 512meg 8800gts beat out the 8800gtx in pretty much everything. Is this normal? Why does the 8800gts cost $75-150 less than the 8800gtx then?

    Ebgames 25% off Preplayed

    While hopping around Ebgames site I found a 15% off PP games coupon. Tried it and it stacks with the 10% you get for buying a $5 membership card (which I and Im sure several others already have). Since PP sells for about 75% of new price, 75% off of that actually makes it a pretty good deal.

    Is the celeron M 330 a Dothan based core or a P4 based core or something else? Will performance be similar to the desktop celeron 330 (2.66ghz iirc)?
