    Visioneer 8100 USB scanner -$6.00 (plus tax) after PM & MIR

    Also, if you are using the USB port cable, try the parallel port cable.....or the other way around. Try the new drivers first. Edit: Be sure to power on the scanner before you boot your machine.

    ddjkdg- Go here and download and install the latest XP drivers. Uninstall your old drivers first.

    Cheap but very good 5.1 soundcard, $16

    SRman- If you are willing to spend $40, then why don't you do it the right way and purchase one of these: A Super Card I have an SB Live! card and the Turtle Beach card. Believe me, the Turtle Beach has it all over the SB card. I can't comment about the other cards in your post. One thing...

    Visioneer 8100 USB scanner -$6.00 (plus tax) after PM & MIR

    ddjkdg- Look, the chances of you receiving two units that are defective are next to null. Sart over again. Uninstall all your software, open-up your manual, and follow the installation instructions EXACTLY. These drivers can be tricky to install and you must do it the way the manual states...

    Visioneer 8100 USB scanner -$6.00 (plus tax) after PM & MIR

    For those interested, I received my $70 rebate check yesterday. It came as a check with a first class stamp on it. In others words, it was just a flimsy piece of paper, and looked like a check with postage on it. It doesn't come in an envelope......kinda looks like junk mail, so be careful.

    Visioneer 8100 USB scanner -$6.00 (plus tax) after PM & MIR

    ddjkdg- I think you have a software problem, not a hardware problem. I have the Visioneer 8900 and have had a similar problem when using the Paperport software that came with the scanner. Whenever I first attempt to scan through Paperport, I get the "unlock" message. Clicking OK doesn't...

    HOT! VISIONTEK Xtasy 5632 GEFORCE2 GTS-V $48

    For all of you that are considering this card, don't let the overclockers influence your decision. Most people don't overclock. For the money, you really can't beat the performance of this card. I went from a TNT2 to this card and PC games are MUCH better graphically. Everything else is...

    HOT! VISIONTEK Xtasy 5632 GEFORCE2 GTS-V $48

    succubiss- I believe your motherboard has a 440BX chipset. Before sending your new card back, I would search the Intel site for updated chipset drivers.....especially AGP drivers. This could possibly solve your problem.

    HOT! VISIONTEK Xtasy 5632 GEFORCE2 GTS-V $48

    amploud- Anything's possible. They could be installing off-spec 5.5 DDR memory, but I doubt it, unless of course they all do it. If word ever got out that Visiontek did this, could you imagine the words coming out of their competitor's mouths? But then again, anything's possible. The first...

    HOT! VISIONTEK Xtasy 5632 GEFORCE2 GTS-V $48

    gtd- I'd agree with you.....it really is a price\performance thing. Sure, it's not an 8500, but then again it's not ment to be. All I know is that my 3DMark2001 more that tripled using all default settings. The test ran smooth, not choppy like my pervious card, a TNT2 32 megs of memory. I...

    HOT! VISIONTEK Xtasy 5632 GEFORCE2 GTS-V $48

    aircasper- I'd sell it. There are definitely people out there looking for PCI cards. You may break even on the transaction or it may just cost you a couple of bucks to get the 5632. The DDR memory on this card, coupled with it's over-clocking ability really makes this thing fly....very...

    !RESURRECTED! BIG LIST - Stuff for that new Dreamcast

    Well, for anyone who's interested, I bought one of those S-Video cables. Got it on EBay for $5 (the last of the big spenders I guess). Anyway, I hooked this baby up to my 27" TV and fired up my Dreamcast. What a disappointment. The colors were all washed-out. It seemed to eliminate some of...

    I'm having trouble finding stores that are restocking their DC merchandise. Everything is picked-over whether it's at CC or BB or EB, etc. Anyone else seeing this trend out there? Does anyone know if these stores will restock, or are they going to discontinue DC and are using these sales as...

    Just got back from BB, and bought Test Drive V-Rally for $9.99.....nice, real nice. This top rated game is not only hard to find, it's usually $45. It wasn't in the display, but the guy offered to check in the back. He came out with the last copy. He also said that they get their Dreamcast...

    LucJoe- You can try: http://www.vintageentertainment.com/item_detail.asp?item_id=6265&ve_cate_id=1082 http://www.gremedia.com/ I haven't purchased anything from these companies, but they sell things on EBay, if that means anything.

    Muffy- You're entitled to your opinion. More demand in Japan? All I know is that I was in a game store the other day for about 1/2 hour. In this time, I saw 4 DC units sold, and not one Playstation, XBox, or Nintendo. Poor demand in the US? I don't think so.

    huesmann- One important point relating to DC. Because of the $50 console, DC all of a sudden has a ton of brand new owners wanting to purchase games for their new unit. To me, it just makes good business sense to supply this demand with new games. If nothing else, it will be interesting to...

    mithrandir- I accept your analysis. You mentioned that Raymond2 was one of your favorites. Have any others? What about the gauntlet game? Is it like the old Atari game?

    !RESURRECTED! BIG LIST - Stuff for that new Dreamcast

    "I found one reason why people would download the games (I haven't done it myself). The selection of DC games in stores and even online stores is tiny. I've heard that DC was supposed to have 200+ games, but I've only seen about 7-10 in the average store. People who steal Dreamcast software...

    Kevman- If you're looking to purchase NiMH batteries, you can go here and take a look around: http://www.ripvan100.com/ These are the best rechargeables I've used, and I've used a lot of different brands. You may want to give them a shot.
