Dual Display - Onboard Only vs. Onboard+9500GT?

I just got a new AMD Trinity processor and mobo for our living room HTPC, which formerly had a GeForce 9500 GT. I'm pondering what, if anything, to do with the 9500GT. It was considered entry-level even back in 2008 ($77), so I'm not expecting miracles out of it. Still, it may have a use...

Need help with Thinkpad purchase...

The fan stays off almost all the time, and only spins when necessary. By keeping it on a desk or a counter-top in a cool room, it will probably not even start spinning for a couple hours, and then only very occasionally thereafter. On the other hand, if you have it on your bed in a warm...

Best laptop for under $400?

I would try to get a T21 on eBay with lotsa RAM and big hard drive already installed. I bought a T21 used on ebay for about $680 with a 900MHz p3, 40GB hard drive, 512megs of RAM, DVD drive, floppy drive, and a case, and I still think this is the best value you can get. I bought a wireless card...

Need help with Thinkpad purchase...

I think I might be able to help you out since I have both a T series (T21) and just picked out a new R series (R51) for my sister. I personally love both of them and I now am certain that IBM makes the best laptops in the world. I bought the T21 used on ebay for about $680 with a 900MHz p3...

Will a 2001FP work with a GF3 Ti 500?

If the back of the card looks like this picture If not then you may need an adapter. It should look pretty nice at the native resolution. I have set up a few of these for my work and 1600x1200 is perfect for this size screen (IMO). no, it means you can output to a TV using s-video cable.

ATI TV Wonder VE $8 AR/PM

I went to CC in Laguna Hills, CA, and the guy said they haven't had this card for a while. Don't think there are too many of these left anywhere. Oh well, I want to get a Pinnacle anyway.

Canon S-400 at Dell for $374

I got this camara for the same price a few months ago... it is a great. All of the pictures are amazing. Video with sound, red-eye reduction, 11x digital zoom, the features are incredible for such a tiny thing. Macro shots are especially nice, if only I had a steadier hand (stupid...
