Player prices will drop quicker now that the 5 DVD deal is gone. IMHO that was main reason they didnt drop further in price right away.
Shouldnt be more than a month or so before new ones are gone - maybe can find some 'buyer's remorse' Open Box specials though for people looking for a...
My experience with Newegg (and others) has been that you get all the cables. OEM generally means you wont get the fancy software (DVD tools like Power DVD etc). If Newegg gives pictures with the product, then thats what you can expect to receive.
Now other places may be shadier, but Newegg...
But cant see whether HDCP or not.

It handles better than the 8600GTS, but I cannot speak to the GT (again, I only go by Toms VGA charts). But not compliant with DX10 - the only ATI cards that are DX10 happy are either under-performers or crazy (~$400) pricey.
Thats why I am seeing this as a good in-between card. If you are...
Fairly hot price for an older but still capable video card. If you need something to tide you over until decent DirectX 10 cards come out (cheap) then this would last a year or so.
Newegg x1900GT
For that one boot with the country flags all over it - dont be fooled. The flags are just a canvas cover that can be removed, leaving you with a nice classic black shoe. Its available in UK 9, 10 and 11.
For us Yanks, thats size 10, 11 and 12. Round up if you are a half size and wear...
Yeah, I was interested in this deal - have a 2005 Santa Fe that has been great, but interested in that Hinda engine and dent resistant panels. Also the rear seats folding flat is great option.
But seeing the tradein value of my car makes it a deal-killer. We are very much 'run the car into...
I wanted to but weather was miserable/roads were bad. I wasnt about to try and get there. I wonder if it was delayed at all - those rounds around there are terrible on a good day.
Anyone try overclocking this board? I see in BIOS you can change FSB but it didnt do anything for me. I am running some older RAM, so I dont know how that affects it.
Any idea if any difficulty swapping new board - any propritary connections in case or such to worry about?
THANKS!
Ahh, many thanks. Sadly mobo i slimited and no such controls on it. Only option is Smart control for fan - and that only maximizes the speed of fan if turned off. But thanks for info!
Oh wise sages - I seek guidance.
Installed the FX-55 with no problem. Got the Arctic 64 and although tight squeeze it fits great. Super quiet so far. Decided to checkout CPU-Z before I twiddle.
And I see my Multiplier and Voltage fluctuating! It usually rests at x6.0 and 1.104 V...
Well darn - are we talking about the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro Cooling Fan with Heatsink? Cause thats the one that just got delivred to my door - that would suck.
So, looking to upgrade that August Acer desktop deal that had the Sempron. Do I need to get better cooling or should I just drop this FX-55 in?
I'm torn on the overclocking - on the one hand I'm all about the extra performance. On the other hand the system is whisper quiet now. What will...
One extra question - rules say that return address and SASE mailing address must be same address. So that means I have to fill out my address on both the SASE AND the external envelope.
Would they forefeit the request if I used an adhesive 'return address' label on the external envelope...
Easy to get aroundthe 'no video game hardware' ban. Buy something pricey like a digital camera (not the SLR) or a AV amp. Return it the next day unopened for store credit.
Go buy your Xbox or whatever with store credit.
Granted its an extra step, but if it's what you really wanted to...
They give it to you right there. In fact, you pick one of the gift cards off the rack and they put the amount on it right there. And you cant use it for that purchase.
Set up my system last night. Of course no software CD's come with the computer - is it possible to get these through Acer?
Any one else wipe the machine clean and rebuild it? Without the Windows CD I was wondering how feasible that is.
Lastly, what DVD's have people got to work with that...
Wow - finally found a sales person who let me substitute the Viewsonic. For a net $320 after rebates its a no-brainer!
So here's where I show how long its been since I upgraded my PC. I have one 1 Gb 2700 stick and one 512MB 2700 stick available. Can I only put in memory that is the same...
Yeah, I have to try again tomorrow. I tried to get the Viewsonic substituted and the sales guy had a mini-conniption.
He had me wait while he went to the manager to ask permission and the manager said I could only buy the Acer monitor.
No sale.
So I thought the Viewsonic monitor had...
Damn - stupid USPS moving thingies don't have CC coupons in PA. Cheapskates!
I'm really on the fence on this one - do you think I could throw in my 1 GB stick of 2700 DDR RAM as a temporary measure into this thing? I realize I would probably have to remove the existing 512 for this...
To clarify further regarding the video card you can trade in - ANY CARD will do .
Have a Voodoo 3dfx card laying around? Go for it.
Got a VESA card sitting in a shoebox? Send it in.
Any video card will do.
Wow, was afraid of that. I'm not terribly happy with customer service from Outpost, so thats main reason I passed on this. Great price, but doing returns is a pain.
Good luck!
