$5 Tuesday new movies anytime in Chicago

I don't know if any of you have heard about the AMC movie watchers program, but if it's in your city it kicks butt. In Omaha, you pay 17 dollars a month for a minimum of 6 months and can see 1 movie every day. If you use it to the fullest, you pay close to 50 cents a movie! Not to mention...

Hercules Game theater XP or Phillips Acoustic Edge?

I don't have any way to compare the two, so I'll tell you why I give my GameTheater a hug every night :) 1. Sound is superb mmmm hardware mp3 decoding 2. Volume Controls for both microphone and headphones on box. (need to hear that last guy in CS, crank it up to max :) ) 3. USB .. no more short...

HERCULES GAMING THEATER XP --Refurbished--$85

They're only 110 OEM as it is at newegg.com. Well worth the money in my opinion. In case you were wondering, OEM from newegg comes with everything you need, including software.

Seems as if everyone is expecting a miracle from the nForce

As long as it's compatible... well, not just compatible, but FULLY compatible with other video card manufacturers, I'll have one. I'm thinking Kyro III + Nforce = GODLY. But, giving credit to the monopolistic practices in the business, it would probably be a good solution to cut the small...

Why is the headphones so loud?

I know it's not a solution for all, but I got a Hercules Gametheater. For those of you not familiar with this soundcard, It comes with an external box that can sit on your desk with all the controls a sound fan can dream of (including a volume control on the box). It also has 4 usb ports for...

RAM and Virtual Memory in Win2K

What type of applications are you running? Any shareware,trial,non-standard, java-based? If a program, small or large, allocates ram and doesn't unallocate it when it's finished, it can slowly... or quickly take up ram depending on how much it uses at a time. Especially look out for programs...

Kyro II Troubles

I don't know the specifics, but I know what the exact problem is :) Kyro II's don't install well after a voodoo-based card. So the reverse is probably also true. There's some conflict between the drivers or registry, or ... well, I don't know, just DONT DO IT! A fresh 2k install will make...

Don't understand Intel at all. $103 for celeron 900Mhz or a Tbird 1200Ghz for $110, which would you choose?

To make it fair, newegg.com 105 for a 1.2 ghz now... Oh wait, that just furthers your point. Intel uses advertising money in place of r&d, therefor they can make overpriced processors, and make people think they have the "best" processor.

newegg

Before I ordered from them, I watched the processors go in and out of stock daily. Some days they would be in stock in the morning, out of stock in the afternoon, in stock at night. They go through a hella lot of processors, and order em in just as fast. I'd say at most 2 days, but check back...

Kyro II or Radeon

I am the proud owner of a Kyro II, as many others on here. One thing that needs brought up though is processor dependency. The Kyro II's performance can very widely between processors. I'd recommend the Kyro II over the Radeon for any processor over 1 ghz. IMO, the Kyro II's only competitor...

Kyro 2 and the Blue Screen of Death!

I have almost exactly the same setup, with no problems. I'll check the settings when i get home, but i'm pretty sure my only difference is that i'm running 4x AGP. I play cs like no other, and haven't experienced any problems. Here's my setup 1.2 ghz athlon @ 1.4 Kyro II standard w2k w/...

No matter what the company's policy is, you're allowed to make one back up copy of any program that you buy.
