    anyone find video cards $ nasty

    It is my opinion that video cards are a rip off. $300 for an average good video card? Average CPU at $200. I know that a GPU and a CPU are not comparable tech wise. But that is the best that there is for comparison. Not impressed at all by Nvidia or ATI.

    HOT***Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU - Retail - $295 + $5 Fedex S/H - Guaranteed GO Stepping! @ Clubit***HOT

    Intel sells in huge lots. I do not even think they deal in 1k units. That is for the whole salers, etc. to sell and deal with. Intel sells by much larger lots. NewEgg and others buy from tier 3 re-sellers, etc. T1 would be the biggest mfg of the period and the huge system builders. T2 would...

    Is my ISP allowed to monitor open ports on my router?

    Greetings, Sure, it is probably in your contract that they can do anything like that. But if they do it enough, people will get ticked off, report them to thier local or state govts. and such. Maybe it is ignored, or maybe some govt. figure or entity sees this as wrong and forces them...

    C drive filling up but nothing there

    Greetings, Try doing a specific search on the HD. Look for any files folders over say...5mb. Likely some cookies file or some adware that is tracking something and is just bloating up. Not uncommon. I do a search on all files over 2mb to 3mb every once in a while just to see what is...

    SATA HD?

    Greetings, Just wondering about cables on the new SATA drives. I have some extras from older 1.5 SATA drives. Might as well buy OEM for significantly less if cables are the same. Guessing they are, but would not want to fail to order if it were the case that the the older cables are...

    Supporting AMD

    Greetings, I don't think it will be, but I am not fully up to date on the current or prev gen of CPUS and Thier mbs. Intel has not been very good about creating this possibility while AMD has. However, I would not expect that the New AMD CPU will work on current boards as I believe there...

    Okay, John Travolta's house is insane

    Wow, nice and caustic! So, if Hue Heffner says he is not the best person to talk about the Christian Marriage just before he starts lecturing on it you would be good with that? Odd that... Some people have a huge sense of entitlement. Notice the stars in the news and then notice that...

    Greetings, So, this report is just like Gores then huh? ;) I was wondering. Why does fudging and out right lies seem to work for the alarmists but not for the moderates or the none believers? This nation is so ignorant. Be it a republican, democrate, conservative, liberal, christian...

    Greetings, I worked at e*Trade for 2 years after they had just gone public. Horrible place to work. You should have seen the hold times and for how long those hold times lasted. My wife can give birth faster than those hold times. A very Click'ish place to work. They finally fired the...

    I am a Christian

    One thing I should mention. It is possible to believe in God and ALSO believe in evolution. Some christians believe you cannot believe in evolution if you believe in God. In my honest opinion, The story of Adam and Eve is actually a parabol. I believe we did evolve from a monkey based...

    Proof christianity is "evolving" to accept evolution as FACT!

    The problem is that Luthien has an axe to grind and apparently enjoys the writings of those that also have an axe to grind. He has shown that he enjoys the most rediculas of anti Jesus stuff. Further, He does not understand that up till the beginning of 1960 Bibles were used as part of the...
