MAG Innovision 19" 971FS-s

A couple of years ago I purchased a cheaper Mag 19" monitor from Best Buy. It was something like $120. I took it back the same day. I had the worst picture quality I have ever seen. Total junk. Personally, I wouldn't cheap out on something you spend a long time staring at.

I finally decided on the 6800 GT. My reasons and also a few questions

Yeah, because that's worse than buying a new motherboard and CPU.

Need Good Fan Controller

I've used the original Vantec Nexus, the Sunbeam, the Zalman, and the Super Flower. The Super Flower is in my system now, and has been for a while. I feel no need to replace it. The Vantec made a buzzing or humming noise due to its voltage regulation methods. That drove me nuts. Also, you...

Confused about all these heatsinks, CPU fans, CPU coolers!

If you want to see a whole lot of heatsinks reviewed, check out Dan's Data's cooler comparo. There are a lot of heatsinks reviewed there, and it gets updated often. On another note, I give the nod to the Vantec Aeroflow as well. I'm very happy with mine, it provides great cooling with...

Am I a ricer now?

Sounds like your flex pipe rusted out. Check for a woven area of the exhaust before the cat and after the exhaust manifold.

Koss Porta Pro headphones 50% off ($25)

I've been very happy with my Koss PortaPro headphones. I used the same 50% off deal listed (it's been around for a long time). They sound many times better than my much more expensive Sony's I replaced them with. When I first opened the package, I was underwhelmed. Once you hear them...

Connecting LEDs directly to the motherboard

Yes, I just got them to replace the stock green and amber lights for power and HDD activity. I e-mailed FrozenCPU and posted in their forums, but have received no response.

I need a quiet but decent cpu fan for my XP

I have my Aeroflow hooked up to a rheobus. I usually run it at the lowest speed. It's all but silent and still cools my Palomino 2100+ fine.

Connecting LEDs directly to the motherboard

Does this work? I purchased some pre-tailed LEDs from FrozenCPU, and they don't light up much at all when plugged into my EPoX. I have to cup my hand over them to see them dimmly lit up. The mutlimeter says 2.57 volts are coming out of the power LED pins on the MoBo.

Using two 256MB DIMMs and one 512MB DIMM in an nForce 2 board

I had one of my Crucial 256 MB sticks fail and had to send it back. I went from 768 MB to 512 MB of total memory for a short period of time. Battlefield 1942 ran basically the same.

Help with Audigy 2 Installation

My OEM Audigy came with a driver CD. Most new OEM products include drivers if they are required for use.

Help with Audigy 2 Installation

I think if you want all the extra fluff like Creative's audio player and goofy mixer, you need to install the drivers off the CD first. After that, upgrade using the drivers you found on the web. I would and have installed only the minimum drivers. The additional programs aren't that great IMO.
