Who knows. Both the 4.0 and 5.0 models were up for presale at BestBuy.com and Amazon.com in late May (only the 8GB versions AFAIK), but were pulled off the sites the next day and have yet to return. Samsung had them listed on their US site briefly as well, but also yanked them quickly. I...
The Cowon D3 had the potential of being a good Android answer to the iPod touch, but I still keep reading that it remains buggy and a bit sluggish. The lack of consistent gapless playback makes it a no sale for me still. It does have a microSD slot...
I also received a rejection postcard from OfficeMax about the Pacific Digital 8x DVD+-RW drive from Feb. 22nd. Actually, I received two postcards, one for the PD drive and one for the I/O Magic drive that was also part of the deal that week (but I didn't buy that one). I cut out the whole box...
My local OM only had a sale label next to the Kypermedia drive, but had an empty box for the PD drives (shelf price of $199) and one I/O Media drive on the shelf. The staff was completely oblivious about the sale situation, but gladly price checked the PD drives for me and grabbed one from the...
My Wal-Mart still had it listed for $44.44 today, so it looks like it was a Minneapolis area sale only. Hopefully someone will have a nationwide special on this game soon. I refuse to pay more than $30 for a console port (and an almost 2 year delayed one as well).
You are lucky then. Imations (CMC) gave me roughly a 60% success rate at best for SVCDs with my Lite-On drive (showing your described problem), even at 4x burn speed. Even Ritek disks (PNY brand) showed a little more success than those CMCs. I have only seen one Fuji TY disk with this flaw...
Sadly, the Best Buy deal was pulled this morning. If you did not get in on it, you can try Walmart.com instead who have the set listed at $79.98 (but the $2.98 shipping cost offsets the penny saved). Season 7 is listed for the same price as well.

The terrific deals from the Canadian retailers are gone now (exchange rate difference is not very different currently), so pre-order prices for this set have not been great. However, Best Buy seems to be stepping up to help. They have the set on sale currently for $79.99 with...
I spent about 30 minutes with a flat-head screwdriver and carefully cut away as much extra epoxy/glue as possible. The bezel finally came free, but I broke the reboot button in the process (had to twist the panel to get it free). Luckily it was Superglue repairable. Stuck a 120mm fan in the...
My CF-6029 case arrived today (after sitting in limbo at my FedEx office for an extra day to ensure a three working day shipping time). No physical damage to my case during transit, but the assembler was a little overzealous with the epoxy. Way too much was used to mount the power switches and...
Cancelled my Best Buy order (a 22 day backorder probably means that they won't get any) and grabbed one of the two left at my local CC. S/N 180324(013) gave me Infineon 3.0 chips. The other card was a 180324 based S/N as well, so it looks like no chance for a Samsung here. :( Oh well, the...
Check BestBuy.com's front page. You will be emailed an online coupon for a future purchase if you place an order over $250 by the end of the day. Checking the fine print, the coupon will not be sent until "on or about 10/31 /03". Looks like they are trying to avoid problems with people...
I am still waiting for a $10 OfficeMax rebate for a 50 pack of Fuji CD-R disks. Sale was in April. EasierRebates.com claims that my rebate was approved on May 5th and that my check is not listed as shipped yet. I think they have missed the 8 week window here.
Three things to check:
1. Is the DVD-ROM and the HDD on the same cable? If this is the case, then you may be having some competition between the two devices.
2. Is DMA set to "On" on your DVD drive? Find the drive in System Properties and look at the Setting tab.
3. Do you...
With some server fighting, I was able to log into MVP.com today. On the site, my order is listed as "closed". The online order summary lists that I have been credited for the unshipped item, but I have not seen an email about this yet. Oh well, I guess I will have to eat Scheels'...
5.xx = Detonator 2 drivers
6.xx = Detonator 3 drivers (for DirectX 7)
7.xx = Detonator 3 drivers (for DirectX 8, no official release yet IIRC)
For general use, the 6.31 drivers will be just fine. The only problem I have with them is some lockups when shutting down Windows (usually after a few...
It may more of a video driver problem than a DX8 issue. From everything I have read, all of the DX8 compatible drivers for the major cards are still rather infantile. DX8 is a radical change and it will take time for the chipset makers to make "flawless" reference drivers. I...
If you don't mind buying another video card in less than a year, get the Viper II. IIRC, S3/Diamond is getting out of the video card business. Therefore, don't expect any driver updates in the future (which will be needed once DirectX8 games hit the market). Besides the current drivers...
It sounds like you don't have the VIA AGP driver installed on your system. Other people with KT133 based boards have recieved scores like that on 3DMark without that driver. Check out VIA's website and look for the most recent file (it should be part of the 4-in-1 package).
Of course, the timedemo needs to work on Elite Force first. There doesn't seem to be a default demo file in the game even though Raven says there is a demo001 file.
If you don't use your H+ card for monitor viewing of DVDs, then just remove the passthrough cable. The card works fine without it as long as you are using the newer drivers. That is how I am doing it. There is a 3-4 second pause when you start DVD Station (the card is trying to find the...
I picked up a Gladiac cheap from Buy.com and I am about to assemble a new system system for it. Taking a look at ELSA's website, I saw this notice concerning the ASUS K7V boards:
ASUS K7V and Problems with MS Media Player

The PC freezes only when using MS Media Player and while playing...
