    Report: PS3 to sell for $399, cost $494 to make

    All I said about Xbox is it is, and the next one will probably also be, the best console for driving games. The tendency for games on that system to sell themselves with the promise of adolescent titillation is just as prevalent on Xbox as PS2. On that point, you're absolutely correct. Read my...

    Report: PS3 to sell for $399, cost $494 to make

    James3shin wrote sorry, have to disagree. It hasn't "come down to the games" for a couple generations. Sony and Microsoft have convinced the majority of young men that the tech-specs of their respective consoles, and the level of photo-realism they can generate under controlled conditions...

    Report: PS3 to sell for $399, cost $494 to make

    I hope Microsoft and Sony continue digging multibillion dollar holes in their war over video game console market share. With any luck, they'll finally realize its not worth their while, and we can get back to Nintendo vs. Sega, the way it ought to be. I will buy the new Nintendo next year. I...

    xbox360

    graphics, shmaffics. My Xbox is dustier than grandpa's wang. I've had about enough of Sony's and Microsoft's ideas of where video gaming should go. I know most of you here are in the 15 to 25 yoa demographic and don't care for Nintendo, but I still think their 1st party titles are top-notch...

    Gonna need a car.

    I've got an "outside-the-box" suggestion I guess --- but hear me out. First of all, $5000 can buy a lot of used car, if you go for the right models. The suggestions you've been getting of Sentra, Civic, other japanese econoboxes are prudent recommendations. But keep in mind that while these cars...

    RIAA at it again

    One aspect of the internet piracy phenomenon that I find interesting is how Sony is taking part (by way of RIAA) in suing people for downloading MP3's, and at the same time they're selling buttloads of MP3 players. Hypocritical yes, profitable also yes. Time-Warner is in the RIAA and the MPAA...

    Should I upgrade to an XP 3000 or total upgrade to Athlon64 system?

    as long as the mobo you pick out supports DDR 333, it will still run your PC2700. The PC just won't be as fast as it could be if it were running PC3200. We're talking degrees of performance which you probably wouldn't notice for the most part. Most mobo's for socket 754 support DDR 400/333/266...

    Should I upgrade to an XP 3000 or total upgrade to Athlon64 system?

    I'm in a similar situation only I'm even more in the Iron Age than you ... XP1700+, KT266A board, 512mb PC2100. My system is 50% web browser, and 50% home theater (DIVX played thru 9600PRO's TV-out). It does get used for some gaming, but it's MAME arcade emulation, and console emulation like...

    9600Pro "advantage" by mistake - will I notice a diff?

    VIAN, I know youre right, especially if I try to run Farcry or something it could still make a small difference even with my PC being made up of parts on everyone's "legacy" pages. But Todd makes a good point too ... this card was cheap. Buying a (new) card that I KNOW will match the...

    9600Pro "advantage" by mistake - will I notice a diff?

    well, don't get me wrong ... I agree with you guys in principle. But what I really need to know is if the reduced RAM clock speed will make a hill of beans difference considering the age of my PC. Heck, even the 256mb version of the 9600PRO uses RAM that's slower than what I got with this...

    9600Pro "advantage" by mistake - will I notice a diff?

    I ordered a 9600PRO OEM card from newegg and kinda got gypped ... although the site product info says the memory clock speed is 600mhz (300x2), what I actually got was 233mhzx2 = 466mhz. It is still a 9600PRO, with the 400mhz core clock, but just cheaper RAM. Made as OEM by Sapphire, and...

    Turtle Beach Santa Cruz vs On board VIA sound

    I'm facing the same decision. I put together a new system a couple months ago, and it is still incomplete. No CDRW yet, no sound card yet. There's a few other things that it needs and I guess it will never be "complete" because i'll always be doing something with it. But, when I went ahead and...

    Should I get an IDE card for 2 HD's, 2 optical drives, or just do the master/slave thing?

    My new computer is still a work in progress. So far, Epox 8KHA+, XP1700+, 512mb DDR, GeForce 4 Ti4400, Maxtor 60GB Quiet Drive, and Toshiba DVD drive. At this point still using onboard sound - works ok for me. In the coming months I will be adding another hard drive and of course a CDRW. I...

    Logitech Z-360 owners....or other 2.1 speakers?

    Well, I'm pretty darn happy with my Altec Lansing 2100's. This setup uses microdrivers just like Apple's "Stick" speakers, and the subwoofer is dual 5.5" drivers in a wood box and it booms. About $100. Not as nice as the Klipsch or Altec Lansing 2.1's that run about $180, but those are overkill...

    Results from installing 60 to 80 adaptor

    I have posted/replied here a few times over the past week or so about my Volcano 6Cu+ and the Screaming Banshee 60mm fan that came on the thing. The dang computer sounded like a hair dryer. Now, I know the purists here will scoff if they even bother to read this, but I got my 60 to 80 adaptor...

    Yeah the panaflo, but I just ordered 3 of the new Enermax manually adjustable variable speed 80mm fans. First off, theyre blue with clear blades. :) (there's also a pinkish version) Second, they have three speed settings --- in conjunction with motherboard montor you can find what works...

    Alpha PAL8045: Possible to misalign when changing fan?

    Just so there's a second opinion for reinforcement, I agree -- 43-44 degrees is not going to cause a lock up. Youre talking a rather low temp there for lots of folks, especially if they bought a manufactured box. And, I also run an XP1700+, with a Tt Volcano 6cu+ (yeah, I went cheap - but it...

    HS + FAN for ~< 25$ thats QUIET?

    I should have pointed out that if you do what I mentioned i.e. convert to 80mm, you won't need a new heatsink. just get the 60 to 80 adaptor and a good 80mm fan. if youre lazy like you say, this is much easier and safer than having to remove and replace a whole HSF unit. If you do decide to...

    HS + FAN for ~< 25$ thats QUIET?

    I have the Volcano 6CU+. I can't hear myself think. Its not the heatsink's fault. I like it. It's the fan. As far as I can tell, it's ANY 60mm fan that's capable of the 35cfm (or more) that you want. I got my 6cu+ for 12 bucks. For right now, I am living with it. I built my computer as a 2...

As for temps, the highest I've seen yet was upon an immediate reboot after gaming for about two hours (RTCW and also some games which bear an uncanny resemblance to N64). Said 44C, so if...

    Anyone know ONE SITE w/ both 60 to 80mm adaptor and YSTech fans??

    I'm looking to quiet down my Volcano 6Cu+ --- it has a screamer 7000rpm 60mm that makes 38cfm and 39dB. I'm looking at subzeropc.com and they have a YS Tech 80 mm that makes 37cfm and only 30dB.

    Recommendations for replacing Volcano 6cu+ (or just the fan)
