Hi, folks!
I got a heck of a deal last Black Friday at Circuit City on the HP-Compaq C303NR...
Trouble is, the board uses the Intel 940GML chipset, designed for the Celeron M alone. No Core2 support. The C300 series variant with the C2D uses a different chipset, the 945GM/GL.

Hi! I saw your posting about Magic cards:
I've been a player of "Magi-Crack" the Gathering on-and-off since 1994, and I just went to a pre-release for the newest set two days ago (Planar Chaos).
My advice would be to get a digital photo of each page of these albums and post them up on an...
Oh, and add to this the 12% customer appreciation coupon valid through tomorrow.

I just picked up the RAM @ CC tonight; total came to $104.99 w/tax, so it looks like they forgot about the extra 10%.
Are they 'required' to give you the other 10%, or is it only if you insist? I'm still happy @ $80 ARPT.

Hi.
I have the HP-Compaq Presario C303NR from Circuit City on Black Friday...is this the same model?
In any case, I haven't tried to flash the BIOS at this point...and I'm running Home 32 SP2 with updates.

Hi.
On Black Friday, I picked up a HP-Compaq Presario C303NR notebook at Circuit City.
The 'book comes with a 6-cell battery which I've unofficially determined gives me only about 2 to 2.5 hours of runtime. NOT ACCEPTABLE. A 12-cell battery is definitely in order.
My options seem to be...
Kingston Technology 1GB PC4200 DDR2 SoDIMM Notebook Memory
Model: KVR533D2SO/1GR
Best Buy website
Saw this yesterday night @ local Best Buy, thought...that's not a bad price for a local B+M. Pretty much the low end of the price spectrum @ Newegg...though not any better of a deal than...
Will be looking out for mine in "8 to 12 weeks", LOL...guess I'll have to get along with my 'classic' Sensor Excel for a while more!
Anyhow, thanks to the OP! :)
Regards,
SB
Ah, sorry about that link...don't know what happened there... :(

YMMV!

Interesting detail:
Seems Maxtor is upgrading the package contents?
Outside of box: looks the same as it's been for a while (L01P200 was DM Plus 9 IIRC)
Inside of box: DiamondMax 10 6L200P0 (nice unexpected bump from my 2x DM+9)

Just ordered one. Second order ever from Outpost.com, both due to Hot Deals mentioned @ AT Forums! Have an Antec rebate for the Super Lanboy deal in the pipeline already...
-SB
True, but there's the slight problem of availability...*sigh*
Always helpful to have alternatives. Guess I'll have to keep looking and checking the boards.

Anyone able to help on this?
A friend of mine has a LOT of old P3/P3 Slot1 CPUs, and I thought I might give him a dual processor P3 board as a gift...at the top end of his pile, he has 2x Katmai 500s.
He likes to salvage old parts and put together systems from what he can find. :)
This...
This is funny.
About a year ago now, I took a calculated risk after doing a bit of web research, bought a 'broken' ipod 2nd generation 20GB player, connected it to my PC by firewire, formatted/updated it and I've been pretty much good to go since then, for <$50 shipped (Since then I have...
Just ordered one. I've been looking for a cheap/inexpensive 2nd case for a while. My primary is a heavy-as-a-pile-of-bricks-but-a-tank Chenbro Genie, that I've had for probably 5 yrs now...

Nice price there! Esp for their new topline model :)
How many coupons have you been able to use at one time? As of today, the local Staples rep told me 3 per day...but I've used I think up to 5 or 6 at once in the past.
Also (ignorance showing), FW FC and SD = ???
As for the mouse itself...
I think I'll second the emotion there, after looking at the benchmarks...if you can somehow work this and get both rebates (borrow a friend's CC and pay them back...)
$58.88 AR + $58.88 AR + $7.43 3-day ship to where I live = $125.19...not bad, only a few bucks more than cheapest 7600gt @...

"Full 10.0 Retail CD Version"
Dunno if this is really a 'Hot Deal' but it's better than having to go for a rebate!
(Yes I know there are folks who would rather go for 3 copies FREE AR...but what a chore!)
I can't tell if this...
"I'm pretty sure thats the normal price."
-Well, there's a sticker underneath that sez $12.99, so at that store at least it was once more expensive, anyway. True, it was interesting seeing the $6.49 price at the website...but the shipping costs render that moot.
It sure is funny when...
Wow...now I just don't get this:
The card is working fine right now, O/Ced to 412/365 (9800XT speed), with the stock HSF and cheap-o Radio Shack goop, which I intentionally didn't apply with as much care as the AS5.
What could this be other than electrical issues with Arctic Silver...
