    Need some advice on a replacement card

    I need to replace the 5200FX on my wife's Dell (pcie 16x). The psu is only 300watt. I can upgrade the psu if necessary, but I would rather not. Would an ATI 4670 such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125277 be a suitable replacement? She only plays Guild Wars (a 4...

    I just received a 360 Pro from Dell ($237 plus tax) and it is a Jasper.

    Help an old guy out: which console?

    I might end up with both, but for now I think I'm going to get the Xbox. Super Herb's advice was right on, the PS3 controller wasn't very comfortable in my gargantuan paws. There seem to be plenty of interesting-looking games on both consoles, so that wasn't too much of an issue. Thanks...

    Help an old guy out: which console?

    Thanks all! I'll drag the wife up to Gamestop tonight to look at some games and play with the controllers (good tip there, I hadn't thought about that at all--I have big hands and my wife has little hands). If I go with the PS3 I'll certainly wait a couple days and hopefully get some kind of...

    Help an old guy out: which console?

    Edit: Thanks all, I've made up my mind. I'm going with the XBox, mainly because of the controller--the PS3 controller felt very uncomfortable to me. But I made the mistake of showing my wife "Little Big Planet", so I may have to get a PS3 too. How horrible for me. :D I haven't owned a...

    So who's HAPPY with Vista SP1?!

    No issues on the install. No improvements, either. Vista seems just as slow as it was previously. Oh well.

    Trent Reznor Favors An ISP 'Tax On Music'

    So my deaf friend would get the pleasure of paying a tax to support the music industry? Stupid. I own all the music I want. I haven't gotten a new song/album in over a year, and when I did I bought direct from the artist at her concert (Loreena McKennit). Why should I pay a new tax...

    Long Island Company To buy CompUSA Assets

    Only TigerDirect would think that absorbing the CompUSA name was a step up.

    Duke Nukem Forever Video Tomorrow

    The voice on the trailer sucks. The original game voice sucked a bit less, but still sounded too much like a little guy trying to sound big. I originally played the game back when I was still a wee little tyke of 25 years old (yes, obviously still walking under the table :rolleyes: ) and I...

    They need a better voice for Duke.

    Duke Nukem Forever Video Tomorrow

    Meaningless screen shots and videos. Wake me when they release an actual game.

    Can Circuit City Techs Legally Peruse Your Files?

    You win. And I am sometimes amazed by the stupidity of people. He has CP on his computer, he almost certainly knows about it, and he gives it to a shop? Reminds me of the guy who reported a break-in of his house to police. When they asked what was taken, he told the police that the thieves...

    Google Develops Wikipedia Rival

    If I understand it correctly, Google's implementation may encourage more actual experts to make entries. I gave up on wikipedia a few years ago when I added a bit to their Adenoviridae entry (yes, I have a Ph.D. in virology and my specialty is in fact adenovirus research) and my addition was...

    FTC Chairman To Step Away From DoubleClick Review&#63

    Happens all the time. Even a mid-sized firm has thousands of current and former clients, and Jones Day is frickin huge. For instance, I have a long list of stocks I can't buy/sell without jumping through hoops because they are associated with my wife's firm. Of course, the FTC chair knows...
