    DEAD!!! MSI GeForce 8800GT 512M PCIe for $207.99 from Dell - FREE shipping - *but Dell NEVER ships it..delay..delay...*

    I will be getting a card! But it took time, and it probably wasn't worth it. Especially since I got an ATI 3870 for $190 from best buy. I filed a complaint wit the BBB, and that worked. 1. I ordered day 1, Nov 24th (haven't heard of orders earlier) 2. My order was never canceled, till...

    I own the laptop and I will tell you who... People who want the best. This laptop is 100x better looking than the XPS gen 1. Everyone tells me they like the laptop actually. I like the back of the laptop lid (wavey? what waves? It's machined metal) To me it reminds me more of Apple...

    Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

    I think I ended up pretty lucky. I showed up at 5:20 or so, by the time I registered people were coming out to get in line for food, I quickly got in front. I ate a few fajitas, I saw a guy with his bundle (and some alien sack looking backback, quite weird) and then went to pick up my bundle...

    does anyone know what core the 3200 is? also, all the parts are retail correct? Have you READ this thread at all? If not go read the one at FW, I am sure the word "venice" and retail and OEM are spread throughout.

    Gerber 15-Function Multi-Tool $20.00, ships for $3.

    Depends which leatherman. The wave (which I have had 2, my brother has one (police officer), and my friend in iraq has one, love them dearly. The blades on the outside design and the locking mechanism is top notch. Both good products IMOP, but some leathermans don't feel the same as the wave.

    PNY 512MB PC3200 DDR Memory $15 AR at Outpost.com (Expires 5/24)

    "NOT compatible with DDR 2700 or 2100 systems." I don't believe it. Probably a marketing ploy to sell their old stock of 2100 an 2700. It doesn't make logical sense that ram can't operate at lower MHZ. Maybe it is true.. i just DOUBT IT!.
