So I'm going through my closet and find an 8600 I haven't used in forever. I believe the LCD screen went out on it and wonder if its even worth fixing. What do ya'll think? Info on the original setup below.... ASSY,CBL,15.4,LIKA 1 7T774 LCD,WSXGA+,NO-SPWG,15.4,SMSNG 1 P3490...

Nothing....hmmmm...

I have been working non stop and my PC has not been as important as it should be as of late. I had been planning on building a new system and have put it off for a while. Rather then using a RAID 5 setup for all my data (documents, pictures, music) as I usually do....I have taken the lazy man...

So if I understand this thread correctly...Raptor really isn't worth it if this system is purely a gaming system. I keep major important files on an external hard drive to begin with and that sees frequent backup. Have been performing major research to build a new system seeing the ones below in...

Dude. I have no idea what you just said. LOL I've been out of the game a while as you can see from my two PC builds in my Sig. My only real focus for a new high end system would be...... SLI capability, SATA, Dual Core and DDR2 or 3.Other then that, possibly WiFi...money is no object but I...

Hmmm, so it sounds as if the path for now is to perform small upgrades to this board, add memory, bigger processor etc and wait for January time frame.

I have yet to see a single OS release that had even close to 50% of the drivers I required for my existing hardware so why would Vista be any different? So he decided to use another vendor, more power to em. Some of us are a bit more realistic on expectations.

It's funny how zealots seem to forget there are other money generators for Nvidia well beyond their graphic chips. Seriously, looking at earnings means squat considering that simple fact.OEMs sales have always overshadowed and surpassed anything the private purchase count has even touched...

fiction....all fiction. Actually I'd love to see a new card that can blaze scores like that....and also show comparabl e performance in games.

I've been using these monitors at my client sites and never really given it much thought to possibly using one at home for personal use. I can get them very cheap and wanted to get an opinion from others before I brought one home. Planar PX212M - flat panel display - TFT - 21.3" Mfr...

I've had nothing but great performance out of PNY. I've used several over the years and never and issue or problem.

What the hell is sm 3.0? :rolleyes: I'm just enjoying the games and think that sticking to the policy "seeing is believing" is the only thing to trust in these days when it comes to vid card tech.

While I don't believe the AI is as good as Sunny Tropic Hawaii Shirt Game......it's not half bad IMO. Playing Marine. Not sure what level that is.....
