    New monitor - Auria 27" 2560x1440

    Great deal on this @ Microcenter @399. I wasn't too hip on the stand, so I used the stand from the Gateway FDP24 it was replacing. Perfect fit and height adjustment is just right. THe only slight issues for me is the OSD aren't great and the screen is semi reflective, but it looks great on...

    Age old question: Nvidia or AMD?

    I am currently running a GTX 460 and apparently BF3 won't play on it. So if I want to upgrade my card, which road to go down? I haven't used an ATI card since having a 1600XT. I would like to keep under 300. Not sure what models to get. Any pro tips? Thanks.

    Any good FREE back up apps for Android?

    Got the wife a G2 for Christmas. She currently has a G1. What is the best way to back up her info and get it on the new phone? I saw mybackpro out there, but not interested in paying for a quick and dirty. I am an iPhone user, so I am unfamiliar with Android Apps.

Put everyting back together, and lo and behold I get a no POST error at the VGA LED. I swap the card for a known good one. Same error. So I say...

    Holy Cr@p!

    So I decided to drop in a eVGA 8800 GTS in my PC last night. I didn't go for the GTX cuz that is just too damn much for a vid card. I had been running a MSI X1950 Pro w/ 256, and wasn't impressed with it. For those concerned, here is my setup: Intel E6600 @ 3.01 GHz Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3...

    Much nicer Vista install

    So I swapped my board/chip combo from an AMD X2 4600 and ASUS A8N-E to an Intel C2D E6600 and Gigabyte 965. A few things I noticed: 1. I didn't have to baby sit the install. Everything restarted when it was supposed to with out any hangs at all. 2. No Conflicts. All hardware is getting...

    Sigh...Vista 64 woes
