Does the 6800 GT only come in PCI-Express? I can't seem to locate one for AGP. I figured if I could get the 6800 GS for around or under $250 the GT might also be in my price range. Ok, and now probably my last question would be, "Am I going to see a good, noticible, performance increase from my...

are you willing to open the pipes and OC or just want a ready performance Yes, I'd be willing to overclock provided I can find clear, detailed, and straightforward instructions on how to do so. I've never overclocked a video card and wouldn't want to screw anything up. However, if I'm willing to ov...

Best AGP Video Card?

Ok, I'm looking to buy a new video card. I have about $300 to spend. I need some good suggestions on the best AGP video card I can get for no more than $300. I don't want to spend the money for a new mobo and CPU so PCIe is out of the question. So what's my best bet for around $250 - $300? I'm leani...

The story behind new Xbox design

Here's an interesting article. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002276090_xboxdesign16.html Amazing what Microsoft will do just to make a decision. I remember reading about all of the goofy **** they did back when they were designing the interface for Windows 95, about how t...

these kind of overclocks are part of what pushes the industry on. I'm not here to start an argument so I'll just keep this short and sweet. Intel doesn't need some uberdork from Finland to push the industry. It's competition between manufacturers that pushes the industry. AMD does plenty to keep In...

I'm not surprised. I suppose it calculates multiple instructions per clock cycle? Unlike the 1 instruction per clock cycle of the P4.

That's how AMD has been able to create CPUs running just as fast as P4 at lower MHz.

Complete waste of time, IMO.

I like the idea that Microsoft is making the new XBOX controller cross platform compatible with the PC. That was a good idea. And although the controller design is nothing spectacular, the control placements on it look to make it an easy to use device. However, the new XBOX base unit design blows go...

My brother-in-law has one. It's quite an impressive piece of hardware.
Although the battery life is less than stellar.

Great seminar guys. I really enjoyed the push-up contest and the breaking of the memory concept. Very entertaining, and informative. I look forward to more seminars from you guys at future LANs.
