    Wait a month for the new lines from nvidia.

    Different type of 8400 gs

    No, the 8400gs is a big improvement over the x600

    Blu-ray Graphics Card?

    I agree with you completely. I think the video download serve should offer 1080p video content for download(although it ran about 10gigs for 300) for an increased price. Watching 300 in 1080p was like being back in the movie theaters, and being able to do it with out buying the 300+ dollar drive...

    Beat up discussion here...

    There aren't any games out, or will be out in the near future that will be limited by an 8800gtx probably. You should be fine with anything from a 8800gts 320mb to a 8800gtx 768mb.. or you can look at a 2900xt or something. The only problem will be that you won't be playing crysis with the g90(9...

    USB vs PCI tv tuner card

    Well I just set it up just to see if it works. And it seems to work decently well at the basics to start. It looks like its transmitting at the right resolution, and since I have a tuner hooked up already and I am just sending the feed to the laptop, I noticed there is a 5 second lag. Although...

    Evga step up program

    I am pretty sure you can't do the step up twice and just add 3 months every time you step up. EVGA keeps track of all dates and what not. Not to mention that the step up program is like MSRP pricing and not actual pricing, so the step up will be more expensive then returning it and buying the...

    One step Down from the 8800

    By last do you mean play the top of the line games at normal-maximum settings, or just be pretty good. Not even the 8800gts will last you that long at the rate the market is going at. The 8800gts 320mb should be dropping in that range by the end of this year since Nvidia is planning on releasing...

    Running hot

    Lol its 11 PM and 82 degrees here with 80+% humidity.. Thats weird that its running that hot, since core 2's are pretty notable on the fact that they run a whole hell of a lot cooler then the p4's.

    Running hot

    Try taking off the side paneling and see if it helps at all.. My CPU temp dropped 11 degrees Celcius after I just took off the sidepaneling.. But for an e6600, even with stock cooler, that is running pretty hot. Mine idles at ~30 C, granted I have a Big Typhoon, but still. You might want to give...

    USB vs PCI tv tuner card

    I just purchased this: http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-WinTV-HVR-950-Tuner-Personal-Recorder/dp/B000J1CCGA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-8041785-1736044?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1185939277&sr=8-1 I will def let you know how it turns out. The ratings look pretty good, and I was looking for a solution...

    360 to my laptop monitor... how?

    It can hypothetically be done, but it isn't worth the trouble seeing as it would have to be routed through some hardware then to some software on the OS, rather then going straight to the monitor itself.

    Confused about which 8800 GTS 640Mb Brand

    You can't go wrong with Evga for the price.

    horable fps

    Until I got a deal on the e6600, I was running a p4 2.8 with a 8800gts.. and lets just say even before I got the video card and I was running a geforce 6600td, my processor was still a bottle neck. So my 8800gts fps was exactly the same as my geforce 6600 fps until I got the e6600.

    1 fps on human head demo 8800 gts?

    This thing works AWESOME for me. I have the same card with e6600 and 2 gigs of crappy ram. I don't even notice FPS(so not really an issue I guess). Its completely seamless, and is pretty amazing. I can't even imagine what games will look like when they can render this kinds of models better in...

    Good Gaming Mouse

    Ahh if you would have woken up/stayed up past 12, they had the mx revo for 40 dollars shipping on woot.com

    When is the 8900 series to be released?

    No point in buying the 8900.. the 9-series is coming out by the end of this year, according to nvidia. They are going to start releasing new card generations every year apparently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_9_Series

    Which 22" Widescreen LCD to get?

    I know this isn't one of your choices, but for significantly less, you can get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009102 I recently purchased this at Best buy on sale for 189, but I really love this thing. Great brightness and contrast.

    Using a 1080P LCD Television as monitor!

    Uhh if its 1080p, it would have a max resoultion of 1920 × 1080. If that is the resolution, then it isn't 1080p.

    Should I get more/different ram.. and if so what kind?

    Yeah I have an extra hard drive that I plan on dual booting with Vista in the next couple of months.. but I thought XP supported up to 4 gig, and then 64 bit goes up to 8. It should run fine though even with 4gb in xp? As much of my money as I spent on this pc from summer jobs, I want it to...

    Instant messenger always on top

    I am pretty sure the only way you get do this is with xfire. Direct 3d games will always take up full screen UNLESS you have it set to play in a window.
