I am looking to upgrade from my 6800 GT card. I am a casual gamer who do not need the best video cards to play (playing Eve Online currently). I plan to buy a 24" monitor eventually, so which of the two should I buy? There is the XFX 8600GTS XXX (overclocked) $149.99 shipped AR at ZZF or should...
Quite tempted by this, as the specs, on paper at least, are better than the Soyo 24" (which seems to be a hit and miss as well). The folks at Graphics forum seem to like the LG better as well.
There seems to be at least a nice price drop on 24" monitor each week (over at the Hot Deals forum). I have been tempted to buy one a few times now; but there seems to be a trend that has begun, and I was wondering if anyone knows why that is so? Should I hold off and wait around x-mas as the...
Here's my take after visiting the website (rather unspectacular and hokey site at that IMHO):
Listed price currently is 309.99 ... -50 MIR-2x30 MIR = 189.99 USD.
Jdioutkast, perhaps you can cut & paste part of your e-mail you received from the company in regards to the monitor? I'm in the...
Initially, the massive changes (aka nerfs) in City of Heroes and now Star Wars Galaxies drove me to this free trial with open arms. But after about a week of intermittenly playing WoW, I find it really dull. The scenery and background certainly is pretty, but the game itself is rather dull...
Hi, I just bought this mobo and now am looking for a Zalman that will work well with it. I am interested in buying the 7700, but have yet to read any post stating that it will fit on the mobo. A few have said that the 7000 will, so should I just buy the latter instead? The 7700 is only $5 more...
This may be a simple question to some of ya, but I have not found a real valid answer as to why I should or should not keep my computer turned on whilst I am afk. I typically have at most about two-three hours at most to play with the machine. Thus, like most appliances, I tend to turn my...
Folks, I just got the 12" in the maill yesterday (:
BUT, here is a compliment to PE: they shipped the item to me whilst I ordered it when it was OOS. Phoned in my order last Saturday to ask if I could order one and have it shipped after the new stock arrived. The CSR was very helpful and...
Hello knowledgeable anandtech fans,
I am trying to retire my first desktop machine and give it to my cousin. However, I am hesitant in shelfing the Seasonic SS-400FS PSU that powers it. I have a couple of questions in regards to it and my new machine. First, here is a list of the...
I bought this game along with WoW thinking that the latter would eventually win me over given that I am a former EQ player. Well, WoW is still unplayed and I have been playing on Virtue for the past four months. Great game, and best of all, the players are the most courteous people I have met in...
My order was canceled as well; I ordered the stick yesterday morning and got a cancellation email in the afternoon. *shrug* Will keep scouring this forum for similar or even better deals :)
Perhaps this is news to some of you, but here is a recent article which claims that hackers may be able to access your gmail account by simply knowing your account name (i.e., sans password):

Hello,
I would like an invite also, if anyone has one to spare (via email please). Thanks very much!
P.S. Why is there a "REMOVE" added onto all of the users' profiles?
I think Baboon is right. Read one of the reviews for the card. Also, other stores are selling the same card at the same or similar prices. Caveat emptor.
I agree that the gaming industry is the dominant force for high end CPUs. However, this deal would be nice for the ppl in the education as well (and other fields of course). Better computers for students would be great. Thanks for sensible and constructive response.
C'mon, why are retail employees only eligible for this (and the other MS deal)? It'd be great if such offers could be extended to those who could use the whole package fully (e.g. researchers :) ). Probably half of the machines that get upgraded with this deal will only be used for web surfing...
Ahhh, just when I needed it too. I had to walk on I-75 for a few miles at night last weekend b/c my car was incapacitated and I had no cellphone--not fun :( But if I only want a cellphone for emergency purposes, in what company (and plan?) should I be interested? I don't like phones and do not...
Cool, thanks! Been looking for vid cards...and still looking :) (I don't believe in paying for $200+ for them)
Also, at the same site:
9600 PRO(?) OEM -- $133. This card is DX9 supported in addition to be better than the 9500 NP. At $9 more, sounds like a good deal too. But is it legitimate...
Confirmed. Ordered it Thursday (of course) and it arrived this morning. Fast delivery. Something Dell did to make me smile (unlike their awful commercials) :)
Controller card is included.
IgoByte -- that's why it is less expensive. The EZ and Lite versions are closer to each other than the real 9600P. Check the vid card forum (where I am getting my sources from).
I've discovered this amidst my price searches for 9600P. There are variations of the card and all of the cheaper ones...
Try the first thread, franguinho. If not, try the second one. This is the main reason I'm thinking of not buying a Radeon right now :)

[Just a little update--
Turns out the game runs well with my old video card (GeForce2), believe it or not. And on a modem connection as well. I'm a casual gamer and don't get caught up with the graphics too much although from what I have seen, it's great.
I am leaning a little towards...
I need help from the vid card experts from this forum:
My budget for a new video card is not to exceed $150 (preferably -- no hard limit). It is basically going to be used primarly for Star Wars Galaxies. The game uses DirectX 9.0 so a compliant card is suggested. I'd also like the card to be...
