    ATI R520 (X1800) benches!!!!!!!

    I take these numbers with a large grain of salt as well. On the other hand, why would HA lie and publish fake results? Not only it would mess up their credibility completely and forever, it would lead to ATi sueing HA for hurting their sales. Is there an official statement from ATi regarding...

    R520 Definitely 16 Pipes, Confirmed at AnandTech

    somehow I believe ATi has lost this time. A couple of months ago NV demonstrated the 16 pipe age is history, so what?!? :P At least I'll keep my hands off the 520 series cards either waiting for the 580 (it better be out soon after the 520s) or grabbing a 7800 GT instead. I can't stand dual...

    BFG 7800GT OC (7800 GT) for $342 shipped

    according to the recent review here at AT they're on par, or, in some cases, the GT slightly outperforms the ATI card.

    Kingston 65X Elite SD $33.99 AR w/free ship

    rasputinj was right. I bought this SD card for $33.99 including the $2 instant rebate. I hope it's worth the price because I have no experience with these things. Bought it for my dad's PDA :)

    Connect3d X850 XT PE

    heh, looks like you can afford both. Buy them, try them and decide which one is best for you... and the other one goes to Ebay. I doubt SM3 will play a major role in the near future.

    Connect3d X850 XT PE

    like what? Even on these cards the hardware is essentially the same (with very few excetions: Gecube comes to my mind). 499 for an XT PE is a good price, if I had no X800 XT I'd definitely grab this one.

    Apple 1 GB iPod Shuffle MP3 Player $149.99 pre-order!

    neither am I. In fact I own a G4. Apple need not essentially be Mac. In this case you pay for the brand name, and you pay too much. That's my opinion.

    Apple 1 GB iPod Shuffle MP3 Player $149.99 pre-order!

    waaaay too expensive. I won't pay $100 more just to have the word "Apple" on it.... and yeah, the thing doesn't even have an LCD. :thumbsdown:

    Install Half Life 2 Without Steam.

    Are you sure? I bought HL2 too, it's on the way and I really don't like that forced registration. I can live happily without steam....

    Epox + 8KDA3J = odyssey!

    hah, you won't believe it. The story seems to be over, finally. Two weeks ago I got a new 8KDA3J from Epox NL. Actually, my parents got it because in the meantime I moved from Europe to the US. Needless to say the shop in Germany where I bought this mainboard refused to take it back after such...

    X850 pic

    couldn't agree more. Somehow, this reminds me of NV's 5800 FX tank of desaster.

    HL2 Benchmarks Inside--- 6800GT vs. X800XT PE

    thanks for posting these impressive numbers. I really can't wait for my Gigabyte X800 XT to arrive considering there's not much of a difference between the XT and the XT PE SirDude, I think there are already too many pics out on the web; that game is meant to be played :D

    Take your pick...

    don't take the Epox. Aside from the undervolting this board has a couple of other issues as well. To me it turned out to be a complete desaster. Besides, MSI have decent forums in contrast to Epox. Do yourself a favour and pick the MSI.

    Epox + 8KDA3J = odyssey!

    Thank you for the info regarding the other Epox related forums. It took me really long to find aoaforums.com. In my opinion it's very important to have a place to discuss such problems these days. That's why I chose an MSI board to replace the Epox. Hopefully I'll have more luck this time....

    Epox + 8KDA3J = odyssey!

    Hi there... I'm not going to attack Epox here but I feel the urge to post my experience with the 8KDA3J mainboard. This should also be a warning for all who are planning to buy either an 8KDA3J or a 8KDA3+. First of all I bought the 8KDA3J after reading a lot of good reviews on various online...
