    [H] Community Tech Support

    I'm not surprised personaly. I see something like that at least once a year, mainly on home build ones thou. It's possible that someone upgraded the mobo or used one from another Dell (to get faster proc maybe), but was dumb enough to leave the io port cover offthus making it easy to rip off...

    GeForce 9 series Launches Feb 21?

    From my obeservations and being a ex-BB employee, The $229.99 price for the 9600GT in BFG flavor might stick around for a while. BFG cards don't get discounted as much, if at all, as comparable Visiontek or PNY or ATi cards. If you check your local BB store you might even still find a BFG 8600...

    The $229 was jsut a price thir dbase showed, it might be priced lower once they tag them.

So of course we would know its a...

And they wonder why folks pirate so...

    Comcast Defends Internet Practices

    I used to be a Crapcast customer up to like 3 months ago. Finaly got sick and tired of them and switched to Verizon DSL (will have FIOS in like 6 months :-D ). Right before I canceled their cable internet service I was getting around 400-500Kbps speed instead of the 3Mbps they advertise for...

    Comcast Denies Filtering BitTorrent Traffic

    I call bullocks on Comcast too. They never admit to anything that screws their customers. I know their policies vary from area to area, depending on how saturated their network is. In my area where saturation is very high they do throttle high bandwith users and MMOG players. If you call them...

They went with good supercomputer company but their selection of Itanium2 based severs? Were there no computer...

    Vista Sales Double That Of WinXP?

    They might have sold 20mil copies but I do wonder what percentage of PCs that came with Vista preinstalled got rolled back to XP. I've switched so far 9 desktops and 3 laptops back to XP since software or hardware my customers needed would not run in hell on Vista.
