    Apple Laptop Shipment Time?

    I can't say how long it will take to ship from Apple, but I bought from Amazon, and I got it in two days. I know it doesn't answer your question, but maybe you want to cancel the order through Apple and buy from Amazon.

    Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium in stock

    I agree with what you say about efficiency, and I've seen some benchmarks to prove it. My response was in reference to available system memory getting chopped in half by the move to a 64-bit OS, which isn't true.

    Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium in stock

    Just because the OS is capable of doing 64-bit operations and data storage doesn't mean software has to use 64-bit data. That would just be stupid and utterly inefficient. It is true that many applications will use more memory in 64-bit mode than 32-bit mode, but it's definitely not going...

    Circuit City - Wii Games $29.99 (in Store only)

    Rayman is a must have for parties. My friends and I just had a "Wii Olympics" Friday, and we played different mini games for each round. Beer and the Wii are a wonderful combo. Great deal!

    Playstation 3 in stock right now at BB.com.

    It sounds like you're more into the solitary (i.e. Zelda, Resistance) type of games than the "party" games. IMHO the Wii isn't targeted at people who enjoy the single player style of games (single player in the sense of not having people in the same room with you). I also purchased a Wii on...

    Xbox Live 12 mo card + 1600 points $39.99 at BB B&M after PM

    I had a similar experience (retarded CSR)... The idiot kept telling me he couldn't price match unless I brought the ad in. I refused to leave the counter until he did the pricematch since he was just being lazy. I've gone in many times and they either call or have a copy of the CC ad for the...

    Rainbow 6: Vegas (X360) $39.99 through 12/30

    I just stopped by Game Crazy after work and saw that they had this game for $39.99. This is a pretty good deal on a great game for the X360. This may be a YMMV, but there was a local ad here in Austin advertising the price.

    Tivo Series3 $649

    I just found some very old articles (march time frame) that mentioned a rent-to-own type plan for the S3 boxes with the prices in the ballpark of what rahvin listed, but it looks like TiVo never implemented them. That would've been nice... oh well.

    Tivo Series3 $649

    Where did you see that?? I don't see any information about rent-to-own on the TiVo website when it shows the rate plans. It showed me the full $799 box fee plus service charges. If I could get this thing for $239 with a service commitment, I'd be all over that...

    No it's not... there's a new coupon that expires on 12/31. For some reason the link won't work in here... do a google search for "circuit city $40 off $199" and you'll find it.

    Yeah... that's how they verify you are who you say you are. Those addresses correspond to data that may be on your credit report. For me, most of the questions had at least one correct answer. I think there was one that I picked "none".

    7800 GTX $419 @ Newegg

    I see this in the SLI FAQ: "Can I mix and match graphics cards? While current NVIDIA drivers do not support two different brands of graphics cards in SLI Mode, this feature will be supported in an upcoming driver release. At that time, customers will only be required to match the GPU model...

    Dell 26" LCD for $1099

    Because even though its 26", the max resolution is only 1280x768. Most 20" LCDs do 1600x1200. 1280x768 on 26" is gonna make everything seem huge if you're right up close to it (i.e. typical desktop use). If you're looking for a good, large LCD, take a look at the 2405FP.

    Nero 6.3.1.15 corrupts WinFast PVR... HELP!

    I just received a reply from Nero tech support this morning. They also recommend renaming "NeQTADec.ax" and "NeQTVDec.ax" (just like slavamon suggested). They recommend renaming the files to a .bak extension. I haven't tried this yet, but will report results when I do.
