    Very nice steel-core .223 ammo deal for AT gun nuts

    Have you checked Wal-Mart for 9mm? The ones in my area (Dallas-Ft. Worth) have Federal brass case FMJ 9mm for $9.47 a box (50 rounds). -Wayne

    8800GTS 320MB to HD 4850

    I have a 24" LCD and would like to run at 1920x1200. I play TF2 mostly right now and scale it back to 1680x1050. I don't really turn on AA because of the 320MB. I'm not in a real rush to upgrade but I would like to play at full resolution. I have thought about SLI but I would have to change...

    8800GTS 320MB to HD 4850

    Seeing a few HD 4850 cards in the ~130 range, is the 4850 enough of an upgrade in speed at this price range? My main problem is there are not to many reviews that compare the old sk00l 8800GTS to the new ATI cards... -Wayne

    BFG 8800 GTS OC 320MB Upgrade

    Thinking about upgrading my BFG 8800 GTS OC 320MB and am confused by all the Nvidia offerings with similar names. I just got FEAR Platinum and I am having low framerates at 1900x1200 with most stuff on except AA. Just when the action gets heavy but it is noticeable. Will the 8800 GTS 512 be a...

    My E6750 OC attempt

    Latest update after >17 hours of Orthos: Screen Cap This is in a room @~80F and inside a desk. (not on top of a desk or with decent air flow.) Setting the vcore manually to 1.35v and turning the TT fan around to get front to back airflow really helped. I am very happy under these...

    My E6750 OC attempt

    rgallant: I don't know what to make of the voltages in speedfan. The only config I changed wad to add the +15 offset in the temps. I would guess that the readings are incorrect since I don't think the system would boot with +12v rail at 5.7v. TAT show temps that are 15C below the SF temps...

    My E6750 OC attempt

    I lowered the vcore to 1.35v in bios and that really lowered the idle temps. On another note, I have my TT mounted so the fan is parallel to the front & back case fans and it is pretty close to the back fan. It was very hard to tell which way the air was moving through the fins so I figured...

    The latest Fry's ad in Dallas has a 60G Maxtor 7200rpm 8MB cache $29.95+tax AR ($59.95 + $30 Maxtor MIR). I went to the Plano store and there were still 12+ drives up on the top shelf. They are marked as $99.95 but ring up at $59.95 at the register. This is my first post so be gentle! (I...

    I got one but it will lock up after about 20-30 minutes of being plugged in at 11Mbps on my laptop and hacked iopener; it seems to get pretty warm. If I set the speed to 5.5Mbps it works for much longer, I have never had it lock up but it will still warm up. My rebate is showing as...
