I bought one from mwav.com for $149.98 ($159.98 less $10 for using google checkout) But having it UPS'd to New York bumped it up to $176. I'm not sure how far you are from their pickup location in Walnut, CA....but then you'd only have to pay tax.

I dual boot to oem versions of 32 bit XP Pro and 64 bit Vista Home premium. Last month I had to call and reactivate when I upgraded my graphics card and sound card. And then again two weeks ago when I upgraded my CPU and added a hard drive. So the other day when I replaced my GA-965P-DS3 with a...

AS ceramique is as good as AS5, but it's safer to use on video card ram because it doesn't conduct electricity. The link below comes with 8 ram sinks and on long strip meant for some other card's voltage regulators. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186016

It's a good 2" wider than the card. So if you have a fan on your side panel, you might have clearance issues.

Yep, I had to boil off the stock tape they came with and then I used a dab of ceramique and a little crazy glue to stick them on. And I used my dremmel to cut the long piece of heatsink they give you into smaller pieces to cover the other chips that the stock HSF unit was touching. (but now it...

I'm so glad I got the S1 + Turbo Module. ($32 from newbegg) Sure it was a pain to put in, But nothing beats it when you consider the cost/performance/quietness. Temps in a 21C room with from 54 idle/ 74 load to 37 idle/ 51 load. [/URL][/IMG]

I ordered a Gigabyte GV-NX88T512H-B from pcclub.com. (they still have stock at $269) It looks like the standard reference HSF. Maybe it will have the better voltage regulation like the GV-NX88T512H-P?

ATI is crazy not to put out an AGP x1800 to get back some of the high end market share they lost out on. I know I'd buy one. Then I could get another year or so out of my P4/ DDR1 and then build an Athlon X2/DDR2 system once the M2's are available. P.S. According to this poll, 64% of us...

HI, I posted the score for my desktop a long time ago. Here's one for my laptop : http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1085713 It's the dell 9300 in my sig with the 6800go running at 366/750 4412 3dMarks

I had problems with Everquest2 running in slow motion, but only when I was running on battery power. I fixed it by going into the Powermizer section of the Nvidia control panel and raising the slider all the way up to max performance. Not sure if you're having issues on ac or battery, but I...

My 9300

I'm 40 and gaming has been my favorite past time since the magnavox odyssey days. Now that my son is 16 and hanging out with dad isn't considered "cool", gaming is one of the only things we can do together for some quality time. Gaming certainly hasn't made him violent in any way and he's an...

Great, it's autosensing, so it should work. Thanks!

Hi, I have 3 unused ports on my Netgear WGT624 wireless router, but I need to hookup 5 more wired PC's this weekend for some LAN gaming. I have access to a 24 port linksys switch from my office. Can I just plug that switch into one of the router ports to add more PC's? Thanks

Hey Mentok1982, If you should happen to update the list again, could you please replace my original score with this one? I posted it a while back, but I think it got lost in the shuffle.....thanks 5619 6800GT@440/1.15 P4-3.0@3572 66.72 drivers...
