Looking for software

For being able to get rid of all traces of software that you're just trying out, rather than apps that you've had installed for a while, take a look at Total Uninstall http://www.martau.com/ Theoretically you could also use it to reinstall into the same location pre-existing software, and...

$150 budget -- 7900GS

The eVGA 7900GS KO for $110 After $80 Rebate was a great deal but it's gone. I think any of these are equal to, if not better than the 7900GS. Radeons X1900GT's 256MB GDDR3 PCIe Old Model +HDCP, +VIVO from $120 After $20 Rebate @ Newegg SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950GT 256MB GDDR3 PCIe New...

MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

I sure hope its not "luck of the draw" or Im screwed. Did some googling to try find out the differences in the modified 1C BIOS's in that ISO pack. Didn't find what I was looking for, does anyone here know? But found the Rebel Haven forums which have a ton of BIOS's and alot good info...

intel core 2 duo E4400 10x multiplier (super oc'able)

I guess that's not a bad pre-order price, but they should be cheaper when they are released according to everything Ive read. I posted the new models and price cuts coming in April in the CPU forum

Radeon X1900 GT for $125 at ZZF

Last day for the current $124.99 AR SHIPPED price. Still shows in stock. I think this is a terrific deal. The stock clocks aren't quite as high as the X1950GT and X1950Pro, but this one has both VIVO and HDCP, it's cheaper, and is apparently quieter. Was going to wait a couple more weeks to...

MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra Socket 939

Thanks to the OP and all who contributed to this thread and Dynamyck for tirelessly investigating the 1T problem with this board and the new 4000+ and for hosting the ISO with the MSI 1C &1D and modded BIOS. I've read this whole thread over and will likely re-read it again while waiting for...

6600 Non-GT 256MB PCIe @ geeks.com $50 + shipping

I'm all for saving bucks, but can't imagine anyone using this card for gaming, back in the days the nv 6xxx series came out the 6600GT was considered the minimum requirement for decent gaming performance. Why not spend a few bucks more and get one of these: 7600GS $76 AR @ Newegg X1600XT...

Need AGP card to replace aging 9700pro

I was going by your old signature with the AXP 2100+, but since you're on a P4 @3.2 I think you'd be crazy not to upgrade to one of the mid-range cards mentioned above. But back to your original question. For rough comparison purposes here's the approx performance order of old and new AGP...

Advice requested between 2 gpu's

yes but that price is after an $80 Rebate.. I think this X1900 GT is a better card and a better deal, although it is a discontinued model. Connect3D Radeon X1900 GT PCI Express 256MB GDDR3 Video Card w/Dual DVI & VIVO Retail ***Free Shipping*** $124.99 after $50 Rebate My only concern is...

core 2 duo-need input

The news has been all over the various tech sites the last few weeks about "Intel to launch new Processors and cut prices in second quarter of 2007". I believe the story originated from the Chinese-language website HKEPC, which claims that the date will be 22nd April '07. I think these are...

HSF recommendation: e6400 ??

The ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro ACFZP7 Socket 775 was selling for about $25 and had great reviews. In fact it was so popular that most etailers are OOS until mid-march or charging 2x or 3x that much for the few they have left *cough* newegg. But that micro center deal on the OEM E6400 for...

Budget Dual Core Preferences

Unless you have a pressing need for Dual Core now, and since there will be price drops when the new C2D's come out at the end of April, why not just drop in a Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego for $76 shipped now. DDR2 and C2D mobo prices should continue to fall in the meantime, snatch up some D9's...
