    Headphones for the gym

    Ok, so i know this may not be the right place but what the heck. Do any of you have any idea on what would be good headphones for my ipod at the gym? I'm tired of the ones that it came with but I don't want canal ones as I like to be able to hear a bit about what is going on around me. I...

    Gateway FHD2400

    I started another thread about this but I figure I'll ask here too, what are your thoughts on the 22in version of this monitor? Other than 300 vs 400 birghtness and missing the S video input I don't see a difference. . . . . and don't say "It's two inches smaller." I'm hooked on my dual...

    Gateway HD2200

    wow, not very popular I guess. I'm surprised so many people pay $200 extra for 2 inches.

    Gateway HD2200

    Unfortunatley, I'm at the same crossroad as most other people seem to be, which 24" LCD to get. I've basically decided on the FHD2400 from Gateway but I love my dual monitors at the office so much I'm debating on getting 2x HD2200's vs. 1x FHD2400. What are your thoughts? Does anyone own the...

If you have XP it is built in and you can access it via clicking start, run, and entering mstsc and then clicking ok. . . or you can go to start, all programs, accessories, communications. If you have an OS older than XP just search google...

    6800 Ultra or 7800 GT

    Correct, but AFAIK the GS is not out yet in the 7800 form just the 6800

    6800 Ultra or 7800 GT

    I figured it would be quicker but I wasn't sure if the 7800 GT was the "low end" of the 7800 line which would make it = to the last gen high end. Ok, guess I'll do the 7800 GT.

    6800 Ultra or 7800 GT

    I've been kind of out of the video card loop since I got my 800 XL in Jan of this year. I am looking to upgrade and was curious which card is faster, the 7800 GT or the 6800 Ultra? Thanks

    games = harddrive buzzing

    What vidoecard do you have? I have a feeling it's not the HD it's the videocard. Most if not all newer cards Nvidia FX series and up and at least the new ATI's turn the fan up when in a 3d app which makes a buzzing sound. I know my FX5900U and my new 800XL go "buzzy" when I start a 3d app.

    What do you think of 2 Pieces of nVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT PCI-Express x 16/350MHz, 256M

    That is a crazy way to say that. . . . . . why not say 2x 6800GT or 6800GT's in SLI . . . . etc. . . . .

    CS:S n00b getting bent over - advice?

    he is DEAD ON when talking about listening to your surroundings. I will listen and hear people bump boxes or hear their steps and just wait for them to come to me. Also, listen to the nade when they throw one, you can tell if it's HE or Flash. Then you know to run away or just look away.

    ATI Radeon x800 pro....is it considered at dual slot?

    The 800XL does not require an external power source, it is fully powered by the PCIE slot so it won't strain the power anyways. Plus, I just don't understand the logic of paying the same price for something you know is better. . . . call me crazy

    ATI Radeon x800 pro....is it considered at dual slot?

    "kicks ass" . . . . beats . . . . what ever you call it a win is a win. Also, the 6800 GT is faster than the 800XL which is faster than the 800Pro so I feel the 6800GT kicks the ass of the 800Pro. I guess Kicks Ass is a personal judgment not something that can be quantified.

    ATI Radeon x800 pro....is it considered at dual slot?

    Yup, it doesn't matter if more 16 isn't always better than 12 but this time it is so unless you want to pay the same price for somethign that is not as good I would go with the XL. AKAIK the 6800GT is still $50+ more than the XL in PCI-E.

    Got a new x800xl and have a Q

    They may not be if you downloaded the Control Center driver version, that will cause you to have a big ATI icon on your desktop and an ATI program group.

    best x800xl

    I have the BBA 800XL and it has been great for the past week. I upgraded from my X600 AIW that I didn't need and this card is great. I have compared it to other benchmarks from sites using similar equipment and I am dead on their performance if not better. Anyone know why the Asus...

    MX518 Listed on Newegg, unavailible though

    I've been wondering the same thing, I know it has 1600dpi but they never tell you how many dpi the 510, MX700 and MX1000 have. . . . . I wonder if they all have 1600 or are close to it? Any info?

    LX700 combo or MX Duo?

    Yeah, I saw the 3100 yesterday on Logitech's site and that is really what I want now (been in the market for a keyoard mouse combo for some time now). When is it coming out? Just checked Newegg and they say it will be on on the 8th of this month.

    ATI Control Center

    Any idea on the clocking down when I run the max core and mem test? If you have an XL and download the program can you try that and see what it does for you? I don't care if the card doesn't OC well but if it is messed up at stock I sure do.

    ATI Control Center

    The 800XL does have a thermal probe as the ATI Tool told me my temps. As far as not being able to OC using ATI drivers I did not know that as this is my first ATI card (GF2, GF3, GF4, GFFX) was my path before. So any idea on my above post about the max clock and max mem going down . . . . ...

    ATI Control Center

    When you tell the ATI tool to do the max core and mem what results do you get? Mine just keeps dropping and dropping until I stop it. I've only had the card 2 days but haven't seen any problems with it other than it runs a lot hotter than my old Nvidia 5900 Ultra (idle 50c load 75 - 78c. I...
