    wireless question

    Question is, any bad eggs in the DLink, LinkSys, Netgear family? I need a wireless card for a 64bit vista desktop computer. Is it worth it to get an N even if the wireless router I have is an older Netgear 54G? Future proof and all? I use it for gaming mostly, and as much as I don't want to...

    DDR2 Woes

    So its been asked a lot, and I have been doing research, just wanted to make sure before I bought. Is it ok to mix speeds 800 vs 1066, and timing, 5-5-5-15 vs 4-4-4-12? I have G.Skill 800 2gb right now, and want to go up to four. Should I just stick with the same? or purchase 2gb of 1066...

    I have a laptop right now that doesn't support the new pixelshader models(atiX600256mb), which just so happens to be required by several new games. So I'm in the market for a new gaming pc, doesn't have to be the latest and greatest, and I would like to spend 600$ or so. I want to be able to...

    Best buy Gift Card $10 w/$100, $25 w/$250, $50 w/$500 purchase

    Normally how it works is they deduct the cost of the gift card from the original merchandise, meaning you pay less, but your buying a gift card. Meaning if you return the item without the ten dollar gift card they give you ten bucks less... doesn't stop no receipt returns though...

    Sony Alpha users check-in! KM users welcome, too :)

    Just bought my A100 last night :P Got the kit lens(18-70), free memory card and all for $649. VERY happy with it so far. ^^ Tried the Nikon and Canon out as well, but for the price I liked the Sony a lot better. Body has a much better feel to it. Only one real question I have so far, which...

    Recomend a camera?

    The way I see it is I would like to do prints up to 27" or so, and 8+ MP would be the best for it, not to mention, I seem to notice for 100-200$ more I can get a 10mp camera or so. I have tried most of them out, can't find the pentax anywhere... and I like the Canon XTi, which raises two new...

    Recomend a camera?

    Yeah, I figure in the end I will end up spending more money on accessories than the camera... what about the Olympus EVOLT E-410? I like the Sony cause of the "Super Steady Shot", seeing as I do shake :P The pentax k100d is only a 6mp camera. Best buys seem to be the Canon XTi body only and...

    Decent LCD for PS3 and Laptop

    So would getting just a Normal LCD display like a 19-21" widescreen display with Analog and DVI-D(With HDCP support) work for what I want it to do? What about the converters for HDMI->DVI ? Or do they sell a DVI Cable for the PS3?

    Decent LCD for PS3 and Laptop

    1280x768 is what I use at the moment, so something higher than that really isn't necessary. I can always spend more than 300$ or so, but thats just what I was hoping to spend. If its much more I'll end up waiting to buy it until after I purchase a PS3. So your suggestion is to drop monitors...

    So I have a HP Pavilion ZD8000 laptop. Love the thing.

    Where can I buy a laptop video card upgrade?

    Yeah, I would have to say that you can't upgrade your video card... I always thought it would be cool if they made an external video card for laptops, using the PCI-E x16 PCMIA slot thingy I have... only problem would be looping it back into the display... using a different display would be...

    Laptop and Core 2?

    I am skeptical if it will work, but after reading a topic on your site about laptops with Core 2 I was intrigued. My only problem is I am unable to find the kind of MoBo my laptop uses, Couldn't find it in my product manuals and such, and figured I would try here before opening the case up to...
