Ya, its overpriced. +1 to who your audience is going to be as mentioned above. I just priced it out brand new on Newegg for $878.92 with everything there including windows xp. When you count the rebates ($60) your talking 828.92. Way less then what your trying to get. You can't count the...

Ya eventually. Its not like dual gpu's on one board is anything new. 6600 Dual and theres even older cards that did that. And ATI had a very short lived 8000 series (read: one card that I can remember) and they had a 7000 series so I don't understand the issue about ohh 9000 series, big...

Go for the 4400+ then grab another stick of ram. Tiger direct has a stick of ddr2 for 9.99USD after rebate. Can't go wrong there. Unless you don't get the rebate, but even then its only 24.99 before rebate. Ram is cheap. Go 4400+ grab some ram. Then you have a nice system.

Its a bit expensive. But if Best Buy is close and your in desperate need for thermal paste then go for it.

Ya I had the same issue for the old imac I was given. Didn't have any software and the people who had it tried to delete random files in an attempt to protect data but they deleted some system files and whatnot. Just a couple weeks ago a guy on Craigslist that was giving away two apple...

Try 3dmark06 as it is newer. And ya, vista is more demanding in general so your scores will probably be lower (speculation).

The two cards are in SLI so you still only have 256mb of memory even though each card does have 256mb. Both cards split the workload essentially so yes you do get more performance if the game supports it. You still only have 256mb of memory, because both cards load the same things into their...

If only the drivers for the gx2 didn't suck monkey balls. I'd spend the extra few dollars and get an 8800gt. Not sure what the markup is for the uk though.

I don't know what else, but from what ive heard the 40Gb ps3 loses the ability to play ps2 and ps1 games natively. So you still need your ps2 if you want to play those games. Not sure what else though. I had a 360 liked it but got pissed at my family for personal reasons and returned it (got...

The simplest response without looking up anything at all... NO Even the ones where it is possible, you void warranty, and it would have been cheaper to upgrade it directly from the factory. So no, no way to change gpu in "most" laptops right now. edit: your gpu is the GMA 950. No your not...

Thanks for the compliments guys! The case is for my girlfriend so thats where the bright green and the lizard come from. It should turn out nice. I do all my work pretty much by hand so everything doesn't get that factory feel to it, but eventually it may as I get more tools to my disposal and...

Im just saying look out thats all. Thats not a $1300 computer and anyone who knows anything about computers would know that. I don't care if a company is selling it at that price, we both know it isn't worth that much. Especially when I priced out that exact system to be $500 cheaper than what...

The 8600GT is a much better card then the 7600gs. I had two 7600gs in sli. They are decent. But the 8600gt is a better card. I don't see any connections for extra power for the 8600gt you showed so at max it would be drawing 75watts just like the 7600gs. (75 watts is what a pci-e lane can...

Hmmm, in every benchmark/review of the 8800GT that Ive seen its pretty much swept the floor with the current GTS's. It was only marginally off the 8800GTX. And the card is already out. If you mean that GT is supposed to be less then GTS, its because NVidia is doing a complete revision of the...

Ya, to take them out it seems easiest to drill them out. Once you drill them out, you can't use them again, so you would need a rivet gun and some new rivets. If you cant do that, you can just sand and paint, but you will have a hard time getting into all the hard to reach areas, and you may...

If your going through craislist make sure your doing cash only and in person. No money orders or checks or anything like that. Or your gonna be out of a computer. Just have to remember if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. There are a lot of people you think are just unknowing...

Honestly your better off going for one of the new 8800GT's or waiting a couple weeks for the new 8800GTS's. Either will be better cards for the same amount of money or less. This is coming from someone who just bought an 8800GTS 320mb superclocked. Its a great card don't get me wrong...its...

You can add a fan at the top. The fan you would want to be exhaust as hot air rises. So far Ive got two custom built cases going on. For my case mod stuff I go to thebestcasescenario.com. There are some awesome cases being built over there. As for painting the inside. Most any paint you will...

If your just raising the FSB your fine. With these new chips its virtually impossible to kill em from just an incrimental FSB raise. If you screw up your voltages then sure, but just FSB your good. And you have a lot of headroom on that cpu so don't worry. Those temps your reading are also on...

Tiger Direct is fine if thats what you want, Im not going to argue with you about that, but most everyone is going to recommend newegg. But, I will say as will everyone here, many already have...is that your being foolish if you don't take heed to what some of these guys have already told...
