    Buy iPod or Creative?

    iRiver H320 all the way! This is the one if you are looking for some solid features. Check this out: *www.iriveramerica.com/prod/hd/h320.aspx 300$ US. The main thing that sucks in an iPod is that it is not really plug-n-play - you need to install drivers to access it. No FM, no...

    Flashget . . . . . . . ADWARE DETECTED !!!!!

    Originally (before 1.65) Flashget gave an option to install either as a "Shareware" or an a "free" Adware. This has changed recently (not sure which exact version). So, try to get an older version, install that and register that - then, try upgrading to the newer version (might work, may not...

    To 6800 GT/Ultra owners (reg SMPS)

    nVidia did revise their statement regarding the power supply required. It actually checks out based on actual data that I mentioned previously. I have a P4 3E, Asus P4P800 E-Deluxe, 1GB DDR400 RAM (dual-channel), 2 S-ATA drives on RAID1 and one IDE drive plus a DVD-ROM. Oh! and a creative Audigy...

    To 6800 GT/Ultra owners (reg SMPS)

    Thanks man!!! I really appreciate your inputs. Now wheres that multimeter my uncle had? Lets do some more R&D! I think it all checks out. I recently got the APC 1KVA UPS and I observed that the power it was providing was at around 220W on no load and went upto 300W when playing D3. And this...

    To 6800 GT/Ultra owners (reg SMPS)

    Yes, I'd say that is a "good-enough" perfect voltage if that is the case even when you are playing graphics-intensive games (like doom 3 or HL2). The way I see it, this voltage variation is an absolute no-no. It is my belief that such huge variation (11.6-12.1) will simply stress-out the...

    To 6800 GT/Ultra owners (reg SMPS)

    How do you measure that? By monitoring how stable a voltage it can deliver on the +12V rail. That is precisely what I want to know. Infact, I am looking at either Antec True430 or Antec True480 - maybe even Powersafe, but stability on +12V is what matters.

    To 6800 GT/Ultra owners (reg SMPS)

    I am really pi**ed off with all the SMPSs I have been able to lay my hands on. I have tried out Mercury 350 Watts and Zebronics 500 Watts, but I am not too happy about their performance. The issue is with the voltage on the +12V line - it just doesn't stabilise. It keeps varying from 12.09 to...

    Nvidia PureView is On now

    WTF? WMV9 hardware acceleration won't work on 6800 GT and Ultra??!!?? Piece of crap. But, I guess WMV9 and 1080i is not yet ready for primetime, atleast for me; so, for now, its back to DOOM3 and HL2. Maybe when that day arrives when I purchase a flat 50" display for my Pc, I'll have to...

    Single 160 GB or 80 x 2 in RAID

    Prevention is better than cure. It isn't that you will catch the disease. It isn't that you won't. But, you don't get vaccinated for nothing. The bottomline: how much do you value the data you have on those disks?

    Single 160 GB or 80 x 2 in RAID

    I am not sure of the performance offered by RAID-0. All I care about is reliability (RAID-1). Trust me, I have seen bad things. Can't think of a day when my harddisk crashes and I have to lose __everything__ I have??!!?? 80 GB worth of data? No way yo! (This did happen to me once and I lost...

    GeForce 6200

    I disagree. 6200 is a great chip and is generations ahead of 5200FX.

    any pci express converters!!!!!!

    I bought a new PC based on older i865PE chipset (thats with AGP). Trust me, you don't really need a PCI-E based motherboard. I reckon that the next major upgrade will not be until longhorn goes gold (somewhere in 2007 - yes, i know longhorn is due to be released in 2006, but, it'll take atleast...
