Thank you for the information iamjuliespiano! You make an excellent point about the laptop being an older model. There is probably no need to seek out the absolute best hard drive as a replacement.

I need advice on a replacement hard drive for my m6805. I have found a number of drives but I am not sure what I need. I know it would not be an SATA drive, but I am confused about the ata-6, ata150 and I think pata (?) as far as what type drive I actually need. I want at least a 120-gig...

I have a question for you honestjon, are you using two separate +12v rails to power your Sapphire x1950? I found that the 12v rails for your psu add up to 36a combined. That would seem to be one possible reason you have not had problems with that card since its been stated the card needs a 30a...

Has anyone noticed that this card is no longer listed for sale on the Newegg website? I ordered the card from Newegg and should get it Wednesday of this week. I’m getting a bad vibe about this card. Ratz!

$15 jump in about one hour. What happens when they are almost sold out? More price increases?

Placed my order just a bit ago...Hope this thing will out perform my x800 xt pe and keep me gaming for a year or so until the next real system upgrade. Based on all the reviews I can find, I should gain 15 to 25 fps on my 22” widescreen even with a bit more eye candy enabled. Nice thing about...

How would this x1950 agp card compare to my current x800 xt pe? My card is several years old but seems to perform ok with my current fx-55 CPU and 2 gigs of memory. Is the newer x1950 a card that could keep me gaming for another couple of months, until I jump to core 2 and pci-e? If I get the...

nVidia 7800GS AGP, $205-230 ATi X1950 Pro AGP, $200-ish How would my X800 XT PE perform in comparison to the two top AGP cards? I would like a card to hold me over about two or three months. Any informed input would be helpfull.

I want to give follow up info on my plan to buy a few days ahead of Black Friday. I made my purchase of the 22” Westinghouse on Tuesday, November 21, for the $499 listed price. (Used a credit card) I walked in Best Buy this morning, November 24, at around 9:00am CDT and took my receipt to the...

What do you lose if you try. I will post something on Friday or Saturday after my attempt. Those who could but don't try, to bad for you.

Anyone have an opinion on how this care would be in comparison to my X800XTPE?

I have read many folks talking about camping out or arriving early at Best Buy for the 22” Westinghouse widescreen. Why not just purchase it today or tomorrow and then go back, Friday or Saturday, to have the price adjusted. You can skip the hectic shopping crowd. Use a credit card and simply...
