    What is the best game you've ever played?

    Digital Camera LCD Screen Noise?

    Yeah you guys are right. I've asked several people and they've never noticed the lcd noise before, which I found very disturbing, so that's why I'm asking :). Yup, the noise/grain does appear more prominent indoors and at night, but outside in sunny weather, it looks great!

    Need Help on New Build!

    Awesome thanks! I think I'll be able to afford only the 320MB 8800GTS though and possibly downgrade the monitor if the performance isn't that great? Should I go from 22" to 20"?

    Need Help on New Build!

    Hey guys, thank's for all the recommendations so far. It seems I might go for the GA-P35-DS3R and the Crucial Ballistix 2GB Kit RAM. I don't know about the 320MB --> 640MB video card though, because that's about $500 total Canada! Would I really need the 640MB to game on 1680x1050? I don't mind...
