    Looking for software

    For being able to get rid of all traces of software that you're just trying out, rather than apps that you've had installed for a while, take a look at Total Uninstall http://www.martau.com/ Theoretically you could also use it to reinstall into the same location pre-existing software, and...

    $150 budget -- 7900GS

    The eVGA 7900GS KO for $110 After $80 Rebate was a great deal but it's gone. I think any of these are equal to, if not better than the 7900GS. Radeons X1900GT's 256MB GDDR3 PCIe Old Model +HDCP, +VIVO from $120 After $20 Rebate @ Newegg SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950GT 256MB GDDR3 PCIe New...

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

    I sure hope its not "luck of the draw" or Im screwed. Did some googling to try find out the differences in the modified 1C BIOS's in that ISO pack. Didn't find what I was looking for, does anyone here know? But found the Rebel Haven forums which have a ton of BIOS's and alot good info...

    intel core 2 duo E4400 10x multiplier (super oc'able)

    I guess that's not a bad pre-order price, but they should be cheaper when they are released according to everything Ive read. I posted the new models and price cuts coming in April in the CPU forum

    Radeon X1900 GT for $125 at ZZF

    Last day for the current $124.99 AR SHIPPED price. Still shows in stock. I think this is a terrific deal. The stock clocks aren't quite as high as the X1950GT and X1950Pro, but this one has both VIVO and HDCP, it's cheaper, and is apparently quieter. Was going to wait a couple more weeks to...

    Need AGP card to replace aging 9700pro

    @Daemos make sure you read this Mid Range GPU Roundup - Summer 2006 before you make your final decision. It covers most of the cards that have been mentioned and gives a true idea of their performance potential in games you mentioned. Then get the best performing card you can that's within your...

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

    Thanks to the OP and all who contributed to this thread and Dynamyck for tirelessly investigating the 1T problem with this board and the new 4000+ and for hosting the ISO with the MSI 1C &1D and modded BIOS. I've read this whole thread over and will likely re-read it again while waiting for...

    6600 Non-GT 256MB PCIe @ geeks.com $50 + shipping

    I'm all for saving bucks, but can't imagine anyone using this card for gaming, back in the days the nv 6xxx series came out the 6600GT was considered the minimum requirement for decent gaming performance. Why not spend a few bucks more and get one of these: 7600GS $76 AR @ Newegg X1600XT...

    Need AGP card to replace aging 9700pro

    I was going by your old signature with the AXP 2100+, but since you're on a P4 @3.2 I think you'd be crazy not to upgrade to one of the mid-range cards mentioned above. But back to your original question. For rough comparison purposes here's the approx performance order of old and new AGP...

    Need AGP card to replace aging 9700pro

    I'm in a similar situation and spent alot of time looking at the available AGP options. First you might want to read this Buyers Guide which is also linked from our video forums here Then look at this article at Toms AGP Platform Analysis, Part 1 which includes a 9700Pro vs newer cards in...

    core 2 duo-need input

    The news has been all over the various tech sites the last few weeks about "Intel to launch new Processors and cut prices in second quarter of 2007". I believe the story originated from the Chinese-language website HKEPC, which claims that the date will be 22nd April '07. I think these are...

    HSF recommendation: e6400 ??

    The ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro ACFZP7 Socket 775 was selling for about $25 and had great reviews. In fact it was so popular that most etailers are OOS until mid-march or charging 2x or 3x that much for the few they have left *cough* newegg. But that micro center deal on the OEM E6400 for...

    Budget Dual Core Preferences

    Unless you have a pressing need for Dual Core now, and since there will be price drops when the new C2D's come out at the end of April, why not just drop in a Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego for $76 shipped now. DDR2 and C2D mobo prices should continue to fall in the meantime, snatch up some D9's...

    Which one?

    Why not consider the newer generation of cards. Both low mid-range 7600GT and X1650XT are now available for under $150 (After Rebates) and are more efficient, faster, cooler and quieter than those from the previous generation. As far as deciding between similar ATI/AMD and nVidia cards...

    Low Performing 7600GT

    I'm considering building a similar system, so I hope you can resove this issue. This review @ hardwarezone noted a tendancy for the board to sometimes boot at PCIe 1x speed. This overclock workbench review claims the speed difference between PCIe x4 and x16 is only 2% to 6%. Do you...

    Cheap DVD's, 200 dvd's for $35.99 shipped

    AML media? I wouldn't bother, here's what digitalFAQ.com has to say: As with anything YMMV, I tried some TDK branded +R's (CMC MAG E01) which they list as 3rd Class Media, that worked great for me.

    6600 GT AGP Woes

    I suspect it's a driver conflict issue, but not necessarily what you listed in 1). Video drivers are notorious for leaving bits and pieces behind when uninstalled, which can lead to problems when drivers are upgraded. Try using Driver Cleaner and see if that solves the problem.

    Seeing that this is an ATI retail card with full 3 year warranty definately got my interest. But, the CSR I talked to wouldn't give me the 10% discount without a AAA id#, he also said that state Tax would be applied, making this deal luke warm. Since the next gen video cards are just around...

I paid $28 shipped for the card, and would definately recommend it...

    XP or Tbird/Duron + RAM?
