A TRUE gift for the RC or car buff in the family. A 1:4th 1951 Merc Led Slead, powered by 2stroke motor!

Stop being so condescending. I can drop 5k on something i really wanted and it wouldnt affect me very much. (and i have, much to my wife's chagrin) If my wife bought this for me i would be touched and i would return this thing so fast it would make her head spin. You mentioned this was for...

New GTX260 vs 4870 1GB

testing the overclocked gtx against the vanilla ati was ok in my book, since it matches what you would find in the marketplace. Of all the 4870 1gb cards at newegg, only 1 is overclocked and the rest all use factory specs. Of the gtx260, almost all of them ARE oc'd save 2 or 3. Still they...

HOT HOT Deal!!! Gateway laptop M-6862 $425 After IR!!!!!! YMMV

This has nothing to do with the formatting, its not recognizing the sata interface. You need to stream the sata drivers into the xp disc so the hardrive shows up in the install. Google nlite for details on how to add the sata drivers to the boot disk. after that you will be in the hell i...

I think you have unreal expectations of video cards in the laptop realm. asfaik 256bit mobile cards start at the 8800m gts. The cheapest laptop for that started at ~1100 and it was a 17in model. The 8600mgt and the new 9600m gt which you'll find in dedicated gaming machines costing 1500+ are...

Gateway P-6831FX 17in Notebook - $1249

You would be very wrong about the video card replacement. Not only are the cards themselves very hard to find, esp the higher end cards like the gts, but the thermal properties are drastically different requiring different cooling. The difference between the gs and gts card is several orders...

Discontinued Sony Rear Proj TVs in stock at (some) Sears

Yup, the op's comment is not hyperbole. These are the finest rptvs ever made. There are some caveats. The screen has a problem with off axis viewing. Even more so than most rptvs. The off axis performance was worse on this set than my first gen 1080p dlp set. The absolute black is not...

Toshiba SD-H802A 2.4X HD-DVD Drive

I highly doubt that the fw upgrade will fix your freezes. What are the specs on the rig you are running this on? HD playback is a very cpu/gpu intensive task, the freezing could be your machine crying uncle? My amd x2 3200 would choke on a few hd titles, not freeze but it would stutter every...
