    Give the USP Compact .45 a try before you buy the Sig.

    PNY GTX260 Core216 *as low as* $99.99, GTX275 for $149, GTX285 for $235 (Newegg)

    It was working for me. I didn't have to install that (although I may have already had it installed but I doubt it). However, it kept being unresponsive so I had to reload the page a lot.

    4890 aftermarket cooling

    Since the 4870 and 4890 are practically the same PCB hole-wise (afaik), I'll throw in my vote for the T-Rad2. It's incredibly effective and fairly slim when you look at others like the Accelero TT and the HR-03GT. I slapped two 120mm Scythe fans on there with a little help from a ghetto fan...

    so. seagate. crap drives much?

    one of my 250GB seagates died on me once. the RMA process was quick and easy though - it was all automated afaik. i would RMA them just to be sure. whatever you do though, don't buy hardware from best buy. you can get a 7200RPM 1TB drive online for maybe $80-85.

    Catalyst 9.6 Drivers Released

    Here I go again. Wish me luck. Every driver since 9.3 has made my Source games freeze up from time to time. I'm not 100% sure it's because of the driver, but that's all I remember changing. I haven't checked if 9.3 itself is stable yet. I think it's a pretty isolated incident because no one...

    Free Upgrade To Win 7 For New PC's With Vista Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate.

    Obviously, this doesn't include the free versions of Vista Ultimate (x86 and x64) I got from a TechNet thing a while back, does it? They were just OEM discs.

    New DVD Drive: ATA or IDE?

    SATA definitely. Better specs overall because it's a new technology. Also, you don't have to fiddle around with Master/Slave settings. It senses them automatically. Finally, SATA data cables are a lot thinner than IDE cables, which is a big plus for airflow and cooling.

    Biking: Pump or CO2 cartridge?

    Are you talking about something on the go? As in a travel pump that attaches to the tubes of your bike? Because if I need something to inflate a tire out on a trail, I use CO2 cartridges. They're a lot easier than pumping the whole tube up with those travel pumps. But if you're talking about...

    hey to fellow mountain bikers. didn't know there were so many of you on the internet. :) i'm 17 and i barely bruise at all. sometimes i can hit something hard as hell and not get a bruise; other times, i'll hit something lightly, almost forget about it, and i'll have a bruise on it the next...

    TI-84 gives me domain error

    Dunno. I have a TI-84 Plus and that's how I was always taught to do inverse matrices. As a general rule, the opposite function is generally the same key, just with 2nd pressed. Like ^2 and square root.

    Thinking of upgrading my CPU. Please help.

    The E5200 really is the best kick for your money, as you put it. How high did you clock it to? Most of them can reach 4 GHz pretty easily, especially with the 12.5 multi.

    To lap or not to lap?

    Same. I hadn't tested temps before, but I lapped my Q9550 and TRUE, and temps are simply amazing. I don't know if they truly dropped by a couple degrees, but it was a good experience, and I wasn't going to use the warranty anyway. In fact, that thought didn't even enter my mind until this...

    Best Headset?

    I use a Steelseries Siberia and I love it. I had an Icemat model but someone decided to punch me in the side of the head so I had to get the Steelseries. Other than being punched, they're very durable (the wires get rolled over by my rolly-chair almost every day). Sounds great too.

    Would there be any sense in XFiring an HD4850 with an HD4870, or HD4870 1GB?

    You'll be limited to the specs and performance slowest card, as you said. And the 4850 should be able to play those games (definitely Oblivion, most probably D3) maxed out anyway.

    How have the Foo Fighters grown as a band in the past 15 or so years?

    I started listening to the Foo Fighters after I heard their ESP&G album. I liked it immensely and as such, started to acquire some of their other albums. I found that the older albums sounded a bit more raw and somehow less polished than their more recent works. I don't know if that qualifies...
