Looking for a quieter video card.

I just bought a VisionTek Radeon X1300 video card at CompUSA (PCIe, 256MB). The cooling fan can be heard across the room. All of the other fans (processor, ps, case, etc.) are silent. Is there a comparable card (similar specs and the $99 price) that I can get that will have a quiet cooling fan...

Comcast High Speed internet sucky?

I'm about 30 miles north of Knoxville, TN and I feel your pain. Packet loss, pages loading slower than they should and sometimes just timing out without loading at all. I've been reporting trouble since the end of May. And get this, both telephone tech support and a visiting technician have seen...

Packet loss problem

Nobody knows anything still. Hopefully I am getting escalated to tier 2.5 and a line specialist. One thing that is constant is those 2 hops timing out (see my original post). Is this an important clue to my problem or do I need to be looking elsewhere?

Packet loss problem

Comcast was out here today. The technician checked the signal at my house and at the pole right out in front of my house. He said my line noise was almost non-existent and that the problem has to be handled by a different group of techs. I asked some questions while the tech was here and this...

Packet loss problem

Penguin, did your problem exist from the time they hooked up your service, or did it occur later? I've had a good month or so of service prior to the problem occuring this week. When I checked inside the conncection box yesterday, the connections were all tight and dry, but there were 2 or 3...

Packet loss problem

Yup, along with a few others. Still no luck. Should I keep trying all the servers on the list I have, or is trying a few random ones enough? I talked with tech support again and they are still seeing around a 20% packet loss. I have a technician appointment scheduled, but am still hoping to...

Packet loss problem

I have had this problem with my 4000k/384k high speed internet for 2-3 days now and it is making my VOIP phone service very choppy. After numerous emails, Comcast has finally acknowledged the problem, but say they can't help me any further until Tuesday morning when a technician will visit...

Office Max Black Friday Thread

I just reviewed my receipt for my OM BF purchases and noticed that my Zire 31 does NOT come to $99 after rebates. What I got is $149.99 - $20 (gift card). I don't have a copy of the BF anymore, and the scan from BF2004.net is illegible. Could someone please tell me how the Zire 31 ended up...

WD Special Edition 8MB cache 120GB hard drive @ OM for $39.99 + tax (YMMV)

I never considered the coupon being a YMMV issue. I just explained that the drive advertised couldn't be ordered online because it wasn't listed on the website, showed the supervisor (who just happened to be running a register) the $30 off $150 internet coupon, and they gladly allowed me to use...
