I believe most of you in this thread are confusing "dual link DVI" with "dual DVI outputs." A dual link DVI monitor has to have a card and cable that is also dual link. Instead of using half the pins in the cable, card, and monitor, it uses all of them. If you notice, a lot of DVI cables...
I'm not sure what spikes you're talking about. DDR2 has been holding pretty steady. DDR1 has been spiking like crazy.
Good deal on some higher end memory, though.
I can't take credit for it, but I felt it deserved its own thread.
For those of you who must have the absolute fastest...otherwise, just get the PC6400 800MHz parts.
What you're starting to see here is lower supply of DDR. Both AMD and Intel platforms utilize DDR2 now so the manufacturers are transitioning their production to DDR2. If you've noticed, the DDR2 prices for similar memory are in the $65-$70 per 512MB stick range.
For those interested in a DVR app that isn't ATI's, I've been eyeing this one for a while:

Anybody have any experience with it?
I tried to order 10 Maxtor disks about 2 months ago. They did the same thing to my order.
With free shipping, you could always place 10 individual orders. :) It'll cost them more in shipping since each one is individually wrapped and packed. Guarantee you'll end up with all 10 of them.
I've built a couple hundred machines using Corsair Value RAM (each one with a minimum of 1GB...most had 2GB or more). I've had no more than a handful of sticks out of roughly a half terabyte of memory go wrong. I think you're using too small of a sample size to claim Corsair Value RAM is trash. :)
Wow, just wow. At NO POINT did I mention a damned thing about playing games. Perhaps you've heard of this little company up in the northwestern United States called Microsoft. If you want a snowball's chance in hell of running Vista with any kind of decent performance, DO NOT buy integrated...
Save your money. If you want ANY kind of decent video performance (talking basic Office apps, web browsing, etc.), kindly skip systems that feature Intel's integrated video. Not only is the performance abysmal, but it also takes system memory for the video buffer. Look for Dell notebook deals...
You could have gotten in on the Pentium D 805 / ECS combo last week for 150 bucks. I needed an inexpensive dual core for a project I'm working on. Not a fan of Intel stuff, but I am a fan of inexpensive ways to meet my needs. :D
Absolutely agree. I always thought "refurbished" was a misnomer considering they state right on their site they don't test these and are simply returned by customers and resold at a cheaper price.
By paying for the 4800, you are GUARANTEED to run at 2.6 GHz (or whatever this thing runs at). If I purchased a 4400 running at 2.4 GHz but it didn't run stable at 2.6 GHz, I couldn't call AMD to have them replace it. Also, if a critical portion of business relied on this chip running...
They have changed the name from "refurbished" to "open box." If you notice, they don't have anything (that I could find anyway) listed as refurbished.
Not bad if you're in the market for it. Buy it, if it's broke, call AMD to get a replacement.
Either that was a poor attempt at sarcasm or you have NO idea what the Raptors are about. Might as well start talking about how fibre channel and serial attached SCSI disks are far more expensive than floppy disks.
