    DVD driver installed is wrong

    In short, a customer installed XP home on a Dell XPS M1330 notebook (comes w/ vista). Everything works except the DVD drive. At first, when we would remove it from device manager, and redetect, the correct driver would install (Matshita) however, every reboot resulted in it defaulting to a...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Are you in the retail electronics business? You sound like you're speaking from a position of wisdom. If you think stores are making MORE than 10% on anything other than accessories like USB cables then you have no idea how the US retail market works. It has been mentioned in many articles on...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Right, but its not the individual websites upping the price, its happening before they get the cards. Either by the distributors or the mfg's. Moreover, the Inquirer reported a few weeks ago a rumor that the initial batch of cards was scrapped. That maybe the cause of the increases. Either...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    I don't know what most people feel these prices should be, but all of these cards are coming through distribution over $250. EVGA's cards are at MSRP on their website when they are in stock. Newegg and most stores have only added $10 to $20 over that, and why wouldn't they? Why not make...

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Fleebay, but I just saw a 8800GT KO w/ Crysis bundle go for over $400. How does that make sense? Buy the one w/ Quake Wars for ~ $320 and buy Crysis for $50.

    GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

    Interesting to see if that ETA rolls week to week like I've been seeing. Ingram Micro, D&H, ASI and Synnex have been just moving ETA's out for 3 weeks now, with a few trickling in now and then. Synnex may be more realistic and has just moved most ETA's out to 12/30.

    Doubt it. From Anand's blog.... 1500 is not a lot of cards considering I read somewhere that AMD has shipped 40,000 3850 and 3870's.

    BFG 8800 GT OC 512mb PCi Express at Best Buy $249.99 with free shipping

    I would thik that if supply is as short as they say, prices in every part of the chain may be going up. We've had a few brands on backorder for our little local store and prices through distribution for the eVGA KO model (805), for instance, are now $289 or more. I know neweggs margins are...

    Crysis - (PC game) + $10 gift card for $39.99

    They did try to get over on you there. I've been to two stores, go one for me and my brother and had no issue. It rang up wrong the first time but they quickly fixes it - once I brought it to their attn of course.

    Crysis - (PC game) + $10 gift card for $39.99

    I don't think they are trying to get over on or alienate customers, the cost of Crysis is roughly $43. Selling it at $39 is a $4 loss unless they got some assistance from EA which I doubt because it's not an inventory or promo markdown. The gift card makes it even worse for them. That said, I...

    Crysis - (PC game) + $10 gift card for $39.99

    I only got the game but I did get the Collector's Edition also for $39.99 + GC. I looked all over for the game and finally found someone to ask. He talk to CS and they opened the box right then as the delivery had just arrived. It rang up 59.99 and I told him it was in the weekly ad. He...

    Home Depot Clearance - 80% off appliances

    I just took a look today at my local HD, found 3 clearance, but nothing near that price. The LG on clearance was still $1999 from $2499... I found a GE originally $1099 marked to $879 + 10% off but it was scratched and dented. They wouldn't go down any more... at all. This may be a B&M...

    Fax in Vista Prem?

    You make it sound so easy. An upgrade is $159 and this guy bought the PC new with Vista. Horse, if you have an HP scanner... good luck. I've been waiting for that myself. I'm keeping my eye on the newer models. When software is released for them, it may also work for yours. I had to do...

    Fax in Vista Prem?

    I know Vista Premium has no built in fax capabilities, but does anyone know how to get a fax/modem to work anyway? I read that you can with Office but can't figure it out.
