7900GT and 7900GTX hard launch

I'm really curious why BFG released their only 7900gt @ 475mhz core and 1360mhz ram speeds? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143048 That's not even CLOSE to the competition. Who would pay the price premium on BFG branded cards for so much slower parts?

Sygate Office Network NAT software inconsistent. Please help!!

Well, thanks for the assistance but I'm not going to setup ICS. I think I have found the true cause of the problem: the onboard 3com nic. This link to the nForcersHQ forum seems to state that a good many people have been having similar problems...

Sygate Office Network NAT software inconsistent. Please help!!

Thank you, lobadobadingdong, I did try ICS. I had never set it up before, and thought maybe it just didn't work well when trying to get it installed. Do you happen to know of any decent guides on how to set it up properly, including what services it requires? I've tried changing a lot of...

Sygate Office Network NAT software inconsistent. Please help!!

Hey, folks, what's going on? Here's my problem in a nutshell. I just built a new pc based on the Asus A7N8X Dlx mobo, which has two onboard nics. They work great in Windows XP, and I love the board. I originally got this board because I wanted this pc to temporarily act as a router/firewall...

I'm looking for a budget video card for my brother. He was thinking of going with the ATI Radeon LE 32mb because of it's price, but does it have a 'all-in-one' version? I mean, is there a lower priced 'all-in-one' model than the top of the line Radeon? My brother's really looking...

I just got the 955DF and like it EXCEPT for one crucial thing: It can't do 1280x1024 at greater than 75hz refresh... something to think about.

Hot Deal?? DLink 16 Port Switch, RackMount, $159.99

The SMC isn't a switch, though. That's a HUGE difference. D-Link makes GREAT networking stuff. Very low priced, very high performance. Never had a problem with them and have used them since 1997. :)

850mhz TBird & GeForce256 - Which to replace first?

Well, video card, definitely! Time and time, and test and test again it is shown that over 700mhz p3 or k7 cpu speed, the video card is the bottleneck, at least the majority of the time. Get that GF2 Pro, but make sure it's the 64meg version!! Get a VisionTek! Hasta

Intel renames its new mobile chips and its Pentium 4 SDRAM chipset (and pricing info)

That sure tells alot about the quality of the P4 desktop chips, doesn't it? Gah, must we always hate Intel? Their marketing never makes sense! They brand one product as being the latest and greatest, then revise an older product and release it at higher cost and higher performance. WTsh1t?!?

A faster mobo, that is just as stable, and is DEFINITELY a better overclocker, and that is the Iwill KK266-R. I mention the -R because this board includes a RAID chip that gives you a LOT more flexibility. I know I like it. This board has been reviewed by EVERYONE under the sun is at the very...

Need Referral Where to buy Components for Next PC (outside of CA please)..

Keep in mind, as well, that I built that machine about two months ago. Now, you can expect to pay around $70 - $100 less, or get the equivalent specs with a DDR mobo and ram.

I'd recommend the 12x10x32 Plextor IDE, it's cheap (like $120 online delivered) and it's nearly as fast as the 16x10x40 version, and has different firmware which i can personally vouch for NOT disrupting copying of games =o

i have about 250 various probes per day, but a significant amout of them come from @home's INTERNAL server checking system, which checks users' account for open server ports indicative of running servers (which they allow but don't like).

I'd give about $250 for that setup if it came with a 15" monitor. I just sold something about 2x better than that for $500, a cel550 machine with 128megs ram, vd3 3k video card, sblive, 13gig maxtor hd, etc., just for you info. EDIT: i'd sell it locally to someone you know.
