The point is that this is the first die shrink that uses MORE power/mhz than it's larger ancestor. And it's not the extra cache...Intel has screwed up the 90nm process and they haven't been able to fix it even after a years delay. I doubt any chip has used the watts per square cm that a...
"I'm really hoping that the initial retail P4E's will do 4GHz. A 4GHz Northwood is hard to come by, I don't think a P4E will be as nearly as hard.
I'm going to get a 3.2e to play with just to see."
According to overclockers.com, a P4E will use 130+ watts at 4.0ghz without any voltage boost. I...
The Prescott is cheaper to make alright but it's power consumption is horrible. A 4ghz Prescott will use 130 Watts at least! Look at this wattage comparision of Northwood and Prescott.

What I was worried about were the sliding tubes of the zoom lens...they can stick if dirt or dust gets into them. But I see that this camera has a lens adaper and all you need is a clear filter and it seals the zoom up. That's a great feature and very important for beach use:D
This camera is available for $299 + $14.95 Ship at inoax.com
There is a review of it here Steve's Digicams
It seems like a pretty good deal. Does anyone else have this camera? Is it well made? It seems like a zoom that big would be prone to damage from sand or dirt.
It's back up to $469. Looks like it was a pricing error after all. Or a way to get some attention. I don't think we'll see these for <$400 till '04 :brokenheart:
I agree 100%. They were selling it as a preorder and they should know how many they can ship on release. AND that "we have seperate inventories" ploy is despicable. If the inventory system on their site shows that it is available then they should be able to change the delivery. Speaking of...
I called my local BB and they have plenty in stock but CS can't change the delivery because they show none available even though I can order one for store pickup today on the website! Total B.S. I'll try again tommorow and see if it's fixed. Otherwise I think I'll just wait and make them pay...
Well they did it to me too. I got a card in my mailbox today saying $2.11 postage due on my package from monsterink. I didn't know the P.O. would accept mail postage COD either but here it is...
I liked this review..
"If you like one side toasted bread or you like to stand and wait to turn the bread around this toaster is the one for you. "

It's been running for months with not a glitch and I have an Alpha 8045 H/S which bolts to the board (it's NOT coming loose). The fault happened on a simple reboot nothing moved. It showed me how quickly these complex devices can fail even after running fine for a year! I can't remember another...
Thanks for the tip. I have 2 256MB sticks of Samsung PC400. I tried using each 1 seperately (they both can't be fried) and the MB still shuts down after post. I'm afraid it's a dead mobo.:(
I have a Soltek SL-DRV5 MB (KT333) with a 2100XP "b" and it's been running rock solid for months at 2.25 Ghz. I shut down and restarted after a M$ Winme "security update". Now it only gets to the 1st beep and the PS shuts down. First I thought it was the ABS auto shutdown feature but I disabled...
It seems strange that Dell would use a PCI video card (and a PCI slot) if the MB had a working AGP slot. PCI cards are pretty scarce now and certainly no cheaper than AGP cards. Either the board has no AGP or Dell sure wants you to think it doesn't. It will be interesting to see which it is.
"Jesus! Got any links to a better site to d/l it from? They have a 85 minute wait.
Try gamespot.com, I got it there yesterday. It's a VERY short demo (10 minutes or so) but the graphics are very pretty and the gameplay is fun. The full game is not so fun, I've heard but I'm sure I'll get $10...
I'm confused about this deal..it really isn't hot unless you got the mailed flyer. It requires the $100 coupon from a "Friends and family" mailing to work. Do people think they will use a printed out PDF file for the coupon?
As I said in my earlier post, the 9500np's seems to have a variety of flaws that may cause artifacts. I found that my card artifacts only when doing volume texturing. I can remove it entirely in D3D by disabling it with Rage3D tweak. I would suggest that everyone with minor artifacting to try...
I got my red PCB version from Newegg yesterday. No joy here either. Really a shame it's a sweet card, no lock-ups at all with the 9700 mod, but with enough artifacts to RMA. It seems each "defective" card is different..mine only has white checkers in Max's sunglasses in the lobby scene, the...
The UPS man just delivered my free portable CD player from the Office Max Cendyne 40x CDRW deal way back in October (or Sept.?). It came from Young America and it is pretty nice. 10 sec anti-skip and it comes with 2 tiny speakers, an AC converter and real headphones (not buds). I had given up on...
I have a WD 20GB 7200RPM ATA66 drive as my C drive. It's about 2 years old. Several times in the last week it started making loud clicking sounds and would stop responding ( As B. Gates would say) Windows froze waiting for the drive. I shut down and booted up WD's DOS drive tester and it passed...
" cpu @ 2.72 I finish at 14877 with no artifacts"
That an nice score and a nice "soft" upgrade. What brand of card is that 9500? You say ATI in your sig but I thought the mod only works with other makers cards? Who did you order it from? I'm getting sick of waiting for Nvidia, besides $400 is...
"why am I having so many problems? why aren't I getting "2.3 no sweat!"
You probably need to boost your CPU voltage. Set your vcore to 1.85 and try it again.
Has anyone received their Office Max "Back to School CD Player? I received a card from Young America in Nov. saying " we have a temporary delay" and still no player:(:o
I picked up a real nice little phone today at my local Office Max Reg. $50 with $25.00 Instant rebate and a $10 MIR. It an unknown brand (Curtis) but it seems well made. It uses 3 AAA NIMH batteries(included) instead of those expensive Nicad packs. It's got alot of features and a nice LCD...
It weighs 89 lbs., but I want to know the H. resolution and if it has features like picture squeeze. if you know who makes it, why can't you tell? Have you signed a NDA or something? :Q
There are no Fry's in Florida and I'd rather not join Sam's just for the Akai. I don't even know if the have any in the stores to check out in person. According to their WS, I can order one for delivery on 9/3, but no store pickup is offered :confused: ? I am still hoping for someone else who...
All I know is that I can't find any information about it on the web. Look at the BB product detail, does it seem similar to Samsung? And if it's not, then whose tube is it? The're aren't that many 27" flat tube makers. Neil
I thought this might be a good deal but I can't find anything about Advent TV's. I'm wondering if it's a Samsung rebadge or what. Use the link or search for Advent.
I'm looking for a decent 27" under $400 and there aren't many to choose from. Neil
