The XFX GTX280 @ $450, is it worth getting now?

The price is about right, in Hong Kong, it's now selling for $3300 - 3600 hkd, roughly around $450 usd. It doesn't look like there will be potential to go any lower for a short period.

Single Core Ok for File Server?

I have been using a celeron 2.8g as a file server and it runs just fine, was thinking about getting a e2180 or something just for the sake of less heat. For some reason, that prescott can be really hot sometime.

Why do I always have to reboot my router whenever I leave home & come back???

sounds like router overheating issue to me, I used to have a dlink, a netgear, and they both have the problem after using for a long period (a bit over a year). While rebooting fix mine, but then the problem came back soon enough I let them idle.

I cant say im suprised

I am not quite sure about your problem but I am paying $12.99 a month for DSL and I am pretty impressed by it. I get about 1.4 for 1.5mb service. I don't watch TV that much so having cable or not doesn't really bother me. I would say Internet is more important than TV, at least in the age with IPTV.

not really surprised by it, seeing these are the only 2 companies making high performance graphics chipsets. It wasn't like the old times when there are s3, matrox, rendition, 3dfx, powervr.... (well, some still exist but already lost a huge part of their market shares)

8800 GTX w/ 24' or 30' LCD

Would rather run the game in native resolution than having it stretched up. I personally use a 19" and think it's pretty small, I think a 24" will be very ideal. 30", like someone said before, will take up much desk space, it's too big to be looked at; you probably want to sit on sofa to use...

Far superior...what?!

I don't know what's the standard for being "far superior", but from looking at the 2 sample images, nvidia's image is sharper, the color seems deeper, also the mountain on the back of the view made some distances. Other than those, they are pretty much identical to me. I wouldn't doubt the 8...

E6400 or E6600?

Just upgrade your system now, and then resell the old parts to make up the cost of the upgrade. You can't just keep waiting, I am thinking as long as you make the best choice during the time when you buy the stuff, that's all it matters.

ah, just update the bios, now the cpu runs idle at 40-43, load at 56, it should be alright I think? And the 7600gs is about the same, idle 68, load is about 80, I guess I will just buy a zalman fan for it, when there is no case fan, passive cooling will not work on a videocard, lol

I love what these PS3 graphics let me know what we can look foward too

and no, I am sure PS3 can't render that in real time. In Resistance the opening more intro is rendered in real time, it looks good but far from that FF7 intro. Again, PS3 is more like a good PC.

Microsoft class action law suit

It appears that they want original receipt, so I will just buy something I really need before doing anything, I have 4 years to do it lol (til 2010). My friend actually bought a printer and scanner last year that worths over $300 something, but if they want original receipt... that's the problem.
