Suggestions for an HDTV

I give a very enthusiastic thumbs up for the Toshiba TheaterWide 52HM84. This TV is gorgeous. Runs $2400 though.

Damn, that's cool. Apologies if this was posted already, but I did a search and didn't see it.

Getting wisdom teeth pulled out on Thursday

Oh, and how's this for dumb luck. In high school, a friend had a bad reaction to the anesthetic and was passed out for 4 days after having all 4 teeth out at once. By the time he woke up, all the pain was gone, swelling gone and bleeding stopped. He just had a long nap.

Getting wisdom teeth pulled out on Thursday

Due to some lucky genetics from mom, I have 3 of my teeth. She still has all four at age 64. I would have all 4, but I cracked one back in 1995. I thought it would heal on its own, and I'm a dental chicken to begin with. Two months later, I bit down on a pastry, which should be soft, and damn...

Two Las Vegas questions in one post!!!

The climate in Vegas is brutal. The dryness just kills me. There's a reason every convenience store keeps large bowls full of chap stick and nasal spray by the cash register. You're almost a mile above sea level in a desert. Summer is murder and winter is bone-chilling at night, and it's always...

POLE: Dream Theater vs Tool

Tough comparison since they are so different. That's the beauty of prog. I really liked DT's last album, Train of Thought. It was considerably heavier than their previous albums. Unfortunately, the band took a lot of crap from long-time fans so the new album is gonna be more keyboard-heavy...

10 Most "Harmful" books of the last 2 centuries.

Equating Kinsey with Hitler is beyond assinine. Kinsey merely said what was happening while American prudishness denied and repressed it. Hitler sowed the seeds of genocide in that book of his. Check out the movie "Kinsey." It's great. He didn't make a discovery like the guys who found DNA...

Recommend a 478 pin mobo please

Is it worth it? I've yet to see a good AGP vs. PCIe video comparison, but then again I haven't looked a whole lot. :) Most benchmarks I've seen have simply been PCIe to PCIe comparisons.

Recommend a 478 pin mobo please

I goofed my math. :) I've had a 3ghz since they first hit the market, whenever that is, I've lost track. Guess I'll go with the Asus, although I'd like to know that my Radeon will be good for another 2-3 years. Video performance was never an issue when I was playing EverQuest, but now that...

Recommend a 478 pin mobo please

I have a MSI board that I really don't like, not to mention the case. So I'm looking to get the Antec P180 and a new mobo. However, all the new boards are for newer Intel chips, and my old P4 3ghz is chugging away just fine after four years., so I see no need to replace it. Can anyone recommend...

Definitive CPU cooler roundup?

I noticed that as well. I have a XP-90 on order but was considering cancelling in favor of a 90C. Can someone justify the difference?

Definitive CPU cooler roundup?

Has anyone done one of these lately? In the past, I've seen sites do a test of about 20 or so CPUs and compare them from best to worst, under full loads, etc. But these are old and out of date now. If anyone has seen a recent heat-sink roundup, I'd appreciate a link. This stock fan has to go...
