Readership has been declining here I know, but I am trying to get rid of this PS3 if anyone is interested. The description is as described in the thread title. Never opened, never tested PS3. $430 for local pickup (highly preferred.) $455 for shipping to the Continental United States. All reasonable...

Oh, you know... SOS.

I'm really behind on PC gaming. Currently I'm playing through Quake 4 for the first time. I got through FEAR late last year. With any luck this game will add some interesting new things to the game. I had some criticisms about the first game that I hope get resolved. Some examples are the lack of in...

I'm starting to get into Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
I haven't spent a lot of time with my Wii, so I'm getting in some gametime with it now.

Most evenings on Ghost Rangers servers under the nick of Whirled.Peas. Mass Effect is awesome. Secret of Mana, Viewtiful Joe, and soon to be Metroid Corruption. Looking to get a copy of FF Tactics Advance (GBA), FF Tactics (PS1), Earthbound, and Super Contra to play through though... A man after my...

I moved to Vista as a secondary operating system. No real hang-ups.

Cool, welcome aboard.

Generally I'd say it's relative to how much you make. If you make $100k a year, it might not be unreasonable to give $500. Most people getting married have no money when starting off, the more help you can give generally the better. Of course you don't know this person so that is a big factor as well.

Not that I know of... other than clocking the card down on a card that has a temperature sensitive fan.
The only other option is swap out the cooler...

It's a brand new product. I'm sure after hype dies the price will go down to levels that will make sense.

Well, we're definitely in a Plateau phase, but there isn't really anything to worry about. Just sit and wait if you're interested in next gen hardware. AMD is working on their next release. nVidia will ditch the 9 series and come out with something new if AMD's new offering beat things down... Intel...

Both are using archaic chipsets. Both probably aren't supported very well by their makers. I don't trust anything made by SIS....

Side fan (if you decide to utilize it) usually is in. Don't bother to cover the vents if you're not going to use it.
Top fan, should always be out.

$114.95 AR....

Currently there is zero performance gain with DDR3. Nehelem might change that, but that won't be hitting the shelves until fall, and in that case you'd need a new CPU as well. Loosing 2gb of memory would be a huge performance hit and would out weigh any gain gained by the extra bandwidth of DDR3. An...
