New home network

Thanks for the help guys, I'll take your advice and stick with wires for now. I guess the fancy routers are for people with computers on different floors and such.

Ridata DVD+R 8x 100-pack Spindle $32.99 AR Shipped

I ordered the Ridata 4X DVD+Rs (100pack) a few months ago and have been very happy with them, over 50 burns with no coasters, plus they have a matte top. These have the exact same packaging except they are 8x instead of 4x, so I would guess these too are matte. I'll maybe pick up a pack myself...

2 possible upgrades, Which would YOU buy

halfadder: I understand what you are saying and I agree. In my pros/cons, I put that AGP was a benefit because I could put off upgrading (to an AGP 6600GT) at a later point when my wallet could better afford it. Although I do not think of PCI-E as a bad thing, I would have to cough up the money...

Leadtek 6600GT AGP WinFast A6600 GT TDH $149+shipping!

Take a look at the clock speeds. Says 500/500 but regular 6600GTs are supposed to be 500/1000. Sorry but this looks like a crippled card. Woops, looks like I was wrong. Corrected by skunkbuster.

Why has capitalism failed in the video card industry?

I know the original poster said he was going to let this die, but I figured I had to put in my 2 cents. The reason prices start so high is a result of two pricing methods. 1) Price skimming - Technology starts at a high price and then drops to recoup some of the cost of R&D. Production...

Near $200 vid cards, which to buy?

I'm looking to buy into the $200 price range soon, which is going to be a hot market in the next few weeks. I'll be upgrading from a 9500 pro and I'll have to keep this card for about 1-1.5 years, so its a fairly important decision. New or used makes little difference to me, most likely I won't...
