    Anand wants to know how you feel about Apple...

    I have been reading AT for a very long time, at least two years before I registered on the forums. I appreciate all the news and tips posted by the staff and the forum members, as they have helped me a great deal in selecting pc components, particularly in regards to compatibility issues. I...

    How is Satellite tv these days? Comcast is scr*wing me!

    We love our Dish network service. We've been subscribers for several years, and have only had the phone line connected a few times to order ppv. Other than that, it is never connected. Also, when you do have to call, the CSRs anwer quickly, and are very helpful and friendly. Furthermore, we...

    EXTREMELY frustrated with my new cpu...

    Maybe your hard drive is the culprit... try Knoppix and see how well that runs. From what I've heard, Knoppix is a distribution of Linux that does not require/use a hard drive. http://www.knoppix.org/

    far cry demo is out, what is your fps

    Bit Torrent Link ~23kbps down, ~8 up for now (just started). Using bittorrent kinda feels like sorting garbage and recycling. Feels good to give back, esp since it takes very little effort!

    Cheapest and fastest way to transfer alot of data?

    I even leave the case open and 3 hard drives outside it for easy access. Nothing beats having source and destination drives on the same machine.

    From Bose to....Bookshelves?

    Not to nef or anything, but I just wanted to say thanks to all the posters here for this incredibly enlightening discussion. I am stoked to hear enthusiastic recommendations for quality audio gear for well under $1000.... I was expecting someone to jump in and try to make anything less than...

    First, thanks to ZippyDan and PoPPer for helping me score a huge bundle of x-box and nintendo goodies from BB for cheap! Second, I am not affiliated with Dillard's at all, but do need to do some Christmas shopping and Dillard's has nice stuff. Sale is 3-4 December in San Antonio (see page 5 of...

    Just saw the same deal at the UTSA location in San Antonio. Better deal than the one I got from BB last week. I did pick up splinter cell at costco for 17.99, I was gonna get it for the gamecube for 29.99 somewhere else....

    Warm (YMMV) - Buy $100+ of games/accessories, get ~$35 off at Best Buy

    Thanks for the response, Popper. Can you tell me what the deal is with the gamer's gift cards? You bought cards for $25 and used them to get $50 off the games? Am I missing something? I haven't been in a Best Buy in years... Just moved to San Antonio, before that was Korea and Monterey, Ca.

    Can anyone tell me if Best Buy B&M matches prices with bestbuy.com? if so, here is my plan: 1. xbox at BB for 179. + free racing wheel receive coupon for 20 2. get GTA3/VC pack 49.99 + syberia 19.99 + KOTOR 34.99 = 105 (get 2nd coupon for 20) 3. use coupon- 105-20 = 85 for 3 xbox games 4. get...

    AnandTech Half-Life 2 Info :)

    I guess I remember playing diablo 2 on my P-200MMX machine, and not bitching about how horribly it ran, but rather looking forward to building a new machine. I swear back then I checked all the hardware sites (even Tom's!)at least twice daily, and built and rebuilt my machine on paper every day...

    The bacteria one rules in a darkened room... although the biology major wife ripped on it. I'd think they could make an excellent sea-scape screensaver with dx9 effects for the backscatter.

    I dunno... I am excited that there is finally new software (hopefully not bloatware) that brings high-end systems to their knees... I mean come on-- I have been doing fine with my 1333MHz T-bird for so long now, there has been no real impetus for me to upgrade. Seeing a 2.8CGHz machine get...

    Help me rip an AUDIO CD PLEASE!

    Does it burn cds correctly? I wonder if there is some sort of software conflict... I once had CDex and Nero and CloneCD running at the same time, and one of those apps complained about an ASPI issue... I was reluctant to download and install the Adaptec aspi.exe as that hosed my dvd playback...

    Got my Radeon 9700, now what to play?

    Mafia also benefits greatly from the FSAA and AF the 9700Pro is known for, but it doesn't seem to have any real DX9 rendering. It is extremely detailed... Man that Cate Archer is money!

    NEED ADVICE FOR PURCHASING GOOD GAMING VIDEO CARD

    Here is the deal: No matter what anyone says, A KICK-ASS VIDEO CARD EVEN WITH A MEDIOCRE CPU STILL ROCKS!!! Even a TBird @1333MHz runs modern games (just beat Unreal 2) just fine. With the 9700 Pro there is absolutely no performance hit when running games with aniso filtering and...

    Got my Radeon 9700, now what to play?

    As it was said earlier, turn on your anti-aliasing and aniso filtering as high as you like and have at it in any game. I upgraded from a 8500, and I would never go back. While the 8500 was a great card, I really believe it was worth the $$$ to be rid of the jaggies and have crisp textures out...

    NEED ADVICE FOR PURCHASING GOOD GAMING VIDEO CARD

    I dunno about you guys, but if cash was tight I'd kick myself for wasting money on a DirectX 8.0 card when there was a perfectly good DirectX 9 card that fit my price range... The Radeon 9500 non-pro is no slouch... and it can be modded using software to 9700 Pro levels and beyond. No...

    Video Card for Old Comp

    It is amazing that the big name OEMs include such low-rated PSUs in their machines, but they are generally good quality. My wifes Dell (1.6 GHz P4) came with a ~180W PSU. I expect you could put whatever you want in it and it would run fine. Well, maybe not a GFX card that requires a molex...

    Updated!: I am thinking about making the jump to ATI: Some questions inside!

    Meh-- people only post when they have problems. Among people I work with, me and a buddy each have 9700 Pros, another has a 9000 non-pro, sold my 8500 64mb 275/275 to a guy who loves it, and 2 with 7500s and one guy with a 7000 PCI. None of us are having any problems. In fact, if you look at...

    Help me rip an AUDIO CD PLEASE!

    another trick is to use CDex (linked above) to rip a cd to .wav, and then use your favorite encoder (oggdropper is pretty cool, set it to delete your input file) to convert. Ripping to .wav should go as fast as your cdrom will allow. It is just a (small) pain to take the extra steps, but it...

    Help me rip an AUDIO CD PLEASE!

    Try CDex. -- it lets me rip extremely quickly with my lite-on 40x12x48 and my pioneer 16x dvd-rom (slot loader) drives. No configuration required, except make up an email address for remote cddb access. There may be decoding/playback software available at xiph.org that allows you to play ogg...

    Dude, I know what you mean. Flash is so abused I can't take it anymore. So, here is my solution: 1. Download and install Mozilla. I have been using the 1.3 Beta version for some time, and love it. Use Mozilla exclusively. 2. When you go to a Flash-enabled site, DO NOT CLICK ON THE "DOWNLOAD...

    Help me rip an AUDIO CD PLEASE!

    try dBpowerAMP converter, and use the ogg vorbis encoder. Don't waste your time with mp3, unless you are encoding for a portable mp3 player. Ogg sounds way better than mp3!
