Warm: XFX 8800GT 256MB 650Mhz $238 after $10 MIR at Buy.com, Free Shipping

Good pick up! Believe it or not, they also have a 256mb XFX 8800GT model with stock clocks advertised as a 512mb model for $225.99. Methinks Buy.com is going to be upgrading a lot of people to 512mb models for free...

Free Chick-Fil-A sammich if you give them a church bulletain

I think the legality of this promotion would easily hold up in a court of law, mainly because of how the promotion is structured. The promotion says that anyone with a church bulletin will get a free sandwich. In theory, any person regardless of their religious beliefs could walk into a...

How long before games look photo-realistic?

Wow. I just downloaded that vid -- hadn't seen it before. Sadly, I've heard not to expect any DirectX 10 games until about a year after its release, so I guess we're 18+ months away from seeing anything like that available in stores...

How long before games look photo-realistic?

Computer games have definitely come a long way from the CGA Sierra adventures I used to play. As amazing as today's games look, I feel that there is still a noticeable "flatness" and blockiness to environments and characters. I admit to knowing almost nothing about the CPU/GPU requirements...

Western Digital Raptor X 150GB

This $282 is for the Raptor 1500ADFD, not the X (the X is 1500AHFD). The MSRP for this model is $299, so this price is in line with what should be expected from online retailers.

dell 3007fpw review

I want this monitor!! Sadly, it is more expensive than the best online price for the Apple Cinema 30 incher once you add tax and shipping. I plan to hold off for a while until more user reviews trickle in and the early bugs are worked out. One interesting thing from the review was the...

Dell Laptop Display Question

I have a 9300 and LOVE the WUXGA screen. I haven't found it to be too glossy, and the color, brightness and clarity are phenomenal. I was holding out for the 19-inch laptops, but I'm glad I bit the bullet and got this model as it's barely small enough to use on the plane (I can't imagine...

Dell 30" LCD Specs Leaked

Thanks for this information! What puzzles me is that the current LG.Philips panel in the Apple has a 400:1 CR, 16ms pixel response time, and a brightness of 300cd/m2. The Dell has significantly better CR/brightness and a faster pixel response, but there have been no announcements (yet) of any...

Dell 30" LCD Specs Leaked

I'm curious to see who makes the panel used in this monitor. The viewing angle and response time are more consistent with the current LG.Philips while the contrast ratio and brightness are more along the lines of Samsung's upcoming panel (supposed to be released 1Q 2006). Anyways, its an...

Dell 30" wide screen coming December 21st, 2005.

You'd think LG.Philips would update their aged panel, but at FPD International this past October (show where display manufacturers show their existing and upcoming products and try to outdo one another), LG and Samsung showed 30-inch WQXGA panels, and the one LG displayed was the same panel...

Dell 30" wide screen coming December 21st, 2005.

Those specs are a little confusing to me. As far as I know, there are only two manufacturers of 30-inch WQXGA panels -- LG.Philips and Samsung. The LG panel is in the Apple Cinema and is rated at 300 nits with a 400:1 contrast ratio and a 16ms pixel response. The Samsung panel is brand new...
