    PNY 7800 GTX

    Hey everyone... anyone have any experience with this card? Why are they that much cheaper? I can get one of these for $450 Canadian locally. That's just about 100$ less than a BFG 7800 GTX that is on sale for a weel for $559. Normally I see the GTX for well over $600. I noted that the PNY...

    Hardrive Performance

    Hi all, I went out and bought a 36GB Raptor (SATA) for my main comp. That was not enough in space so I also bought a Maxtor 300GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA/150 drive. Now I stupidly paid quite a ransom for that minute 36 GB Raptor thinking that it was the fastest thing out there (I could not...
