  • Re: Planned ~3K build: non-win7.

    I can speak with relation to XP Pro 64 from substantial experience with it. It worked great provided you can find the right drivers for all the devices, which is a hassle and often they just do not exist. Throw in the fact that XP 64 was not even developed alongside XP 32, but thrown together as an afterthought. I found the majority of the drivers ...

  • Re: a decent card for HDTV only, please help me:)

    Your 300W PSU should have no problem running the 4650; a 4850 would kill your PSU, but a 4650 would be fine. Just look at one of the reviews who apparently uses a 220W PSU; that should indicate you'll have no problems. I do believe the 4650 takes less than 65 Watts of power...

  • Re: OMG! It's official, Microsoft and NSA together!

    products:I think they just want to make sure that government computers and systems cannot be hacked etc. This collabo doesn't surprise me at all. I would be more surprised if Intel and the army collaborated on a technology issue, like the government asked Intel to develop a chip that detects the brainwaves of a person who is typing on a ...

  • Re: Upgrading every year

    It really depends on the components and if the companies continue following Moore's law or if they deviate and create products that are substantially better. Often you can find a 'sucker' somewhere who will pay you more than it is probably worth. I do believe you could get a good chunk of change similar to what you quoted back for selling it, but ...

  • Re: a decent card for HDTV only, please help me:)

    I believe the 4350 should be able to handle the load, but the 4550 or even the 4650 would be a better choice especially considering the 1080p resolution. None of the cards are too impressive with bit width or overall high performance. Slm

  • Re: OMG! It's official, Microsoft and NSA together!

    You do realize the government uses mostly Microsoft Operating Systems, right? So they may want to know how their own systems work better to fend off attacks. The government cannot do much right let alone at or under budget so I'm pretty sure they cannot spy on too many people at once. Slm

    KingofMadCows:I think some people are making way too big of a deal out of this. It's not a matter of who has the advantage in the short term, it's the company that has the best long term strategy that's really going to get ahead. But...

    Jedo:i know for sure that the haf 922 and 932 cases will fit a gtx 275 card so i might end up getting that.. but if possible i'd like to pick out a better case (most likely with the same kind of airflow and some add-ons like dust filters and whatnot) i've been looking at a cm scout case review @ hardwarecanucks and it looks great overall (and ...

  • Re: Computer build help

    It could actually benefit you being in Canada. Canada has a competitive market for computer parts unlike America where Newegg pretty much takes the majority of the informed market. So just convert those parts + substitute other parts if you wish to save a bit of $. I did not read through the whole thread; I only read the one post by 'products' ...

    Yep, that case is in fact out of stock, but it will come back eventually I bet. How about something like this? COOLER MASTER Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail It's still a Cooler Master case therefore it's good (CM = good cases). Or maybe COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Computer ...

    Well Ramius, you've certainly got an interesting situation. I'll throw some ideas your way, do with them what you will. ATI Radeons have improved 10-fold if not more while under AMD's control.&nbsp; You can get a motherboard without an ATI onboard video chipset AMD is going places lately and is expected to continue even further in the future. ...

    You could get the ATI 5970 which is superior even to the&nbsp; GTX 295, but it is not in stock again yet.

    Eh, King of the Hill was never my favorite gametype; I'm pro blowing **** up and annihilating everyone, but having a 'king of the hill' is something I attribute back to James Bond games...
