    Another “Laptop Hunter” Ad From Microsoft

    Funny little ad, but not specific like the first one. "Blu-ray!" Heh. But I think they picked the wrong laptop if they wanted to push the whole "cheaper" angle. A Sony Vaio, really? How much of a markup is that compared to any other laptop maker out there? Well they did shop at BB, so I guess...

    Cool Powerstrip Concept

    Well, you can buy something really similar right now. Linky I have two of these, but they're black. Picked them up in CostCo awhile back, really nifty.

    eVGA Trade Up Program

    I used it actually, to trade a vanilla 6800 for a 6800 Ultra. This was when you just could not get a 6800U or an x800 at all, but I needed a card for my rig desperately. Worked as advertised.

    Tired of Getting pricegouged on the Bfg 6800gt?

    No mention of eVGA? I think it's awesome that they'll do the tradeup program, especially since GTs and Ultras are such a pain in the ass to get ahold of at MSRP. Planning on trading in my 6800NU for a 6800 Ultra... or waiting to see if ATi can actually, you know, ship some XTs out anytime soon...

    ATI X800XT Platinum Edition NOT discontinued

    Right now I've just about had it with ATi. I've had a XT PE on order with Gateway for almost two months now, so long I bought a 6800NU to "tide me over". Went with eVGA so if my disgust rose high up with ATi I just cancel the Gateway order and use the step up program to go to a 6800 Ultra...

    Problem with 6800 series cards(ver2) yes or no

    Actually no. I thought that was one of those resource hogging "features". Anyway, enabling it seems to help quite a bit. Thanks for that Opus. (:

    Problem with 6800 series cards(ver2) yes or no

    I'm having a slight problem, but I don't know if it's the eVGA 6800NU or my monitor or what. When I turn the resolution to 1600x1200, the text gets pretty blurry. I did up the DPI to Large, I think it's 120? But, still blurry. I dropped the resolution down to 1280x1200, and it's better, but...

    trying to buy a evga 6800 from newegg.....

    Well with eVGA they have that Step Up program, so getting the NU if you plan on getting a GT or Ultra later isn't that bag of a deal IMO. It's what I did since ATi can't get their act together and release any XTs.

    Any updates on the Gateway X800XT?

    I ordered this card on 6/27, and had an estimated arrival date of 7/28 for awhile. After that past I got bumped back to 8/27. So I'm not holding out much hope at this point, however they decided for some bizarre reason to put another authorization on my credit card recently. They did this right...

    Gateway Cancelled The X800 Xt

    Well, just got an e-mail from Gateway. They've delayed the delivery on the XT until 8/27, but at least they didn't turn it into a Pro. By the time they have any and are ready to ship I imagine HL 2 will be out and we'll find out if the XT is worth having, heh.

    What ATI should do.

    The problem with Ultra quality is you'll need 2GB of system RAM to do it if you don't have a graphics card equipped with 512MB of RAM. And since it'll take up bandwidth you'll see pausing to load the textures. I think I'd rather play at High and have it be smooth versus Ultra with pauses. The...

    What ATI should do.

    They need to get the damn XTs out the door, that's what they need to do, before everyone gets sick of waiting and buys a GT. The only reason I haven't gotten one myself is because Gateway still lists my XT as being on pre-order.
