Alive again only $10 more this time $194.19 -AR/CB/AC - MSI ATI Radeon HD4890 OC 1GB

Hmm, great deal, but I'm not seeing the "Live Cash Back" on the live search engine. I can't decide between 4890 and 275 ....right now the 275 is much more expensive.

Questions about adding a 2nd lcd screen and others

It won't...because within the nvidia control panel you can tell it to use only your main monitor for gaming. The other one will lose video signal and go into standby. I don't know how ATI control panels this, but I'm sure there must be a way. If you DO want to use both monitors during...

Dell 2209WA 22" LCD Monitor - $200 + Tax + Free Ship

Ordered the 2209wa today via chat. $212 plus tax and free shipping. It was kind of an impulse buy. I hope I don't regret not getting a bigger screen.

How to securely erase external USB drive

I bought an external hard drive with a USB connection and I need to return it to the store. Before I do so, I would like to securely erase it (not just format). Is there a free program that will do this for me? Something like DBAN that will work with a USB only drive?

Saw nice looking monitor today HP w2338h at Best Buy...

Ok good to know. How could you tell it is a TN? I looked on the HP site, but I didn't find it. I'm sure the price was a big give away also. Well, I have my eye on a new LCD if anyone wants to point me in the right direction. Home use, games, gtx260 on way to my house.

Saw nice looking monitor today HP w2338h at Best Buy...

Will GTX series fit in DFI LAN Party MB

I'd like to buy a GTX 260, but I'm not sure if it will block the sata ports on my motherboard or not. I've looked in my case and at 10.5 inches, the card will be over the SATA ports but I don't know if I will still be able to plug something into them or not. Does anyone have this board that...

802.11n

I would recommend the Dlink DIR655 for N with Gigabit. I just installed one, very easy to install and update firmware, very strong signal throughout my house. One thing I just learned is that my laptop's wireless adapter (Intel 4965AGN) requires a dual band (ie...two radios in the router 2.4...

Replacement for Linksys WRT54G??

I think the last poster missed the part about your old router "leaving the house". So you need a router now no matter what. Since you don't have any devices that use wireless N, my advice would be to just get a G router. If you were happy with the wrt54g, get a new one of those...they are...

Network newbie requests help

Ok, so what you are saying is that the router wont be a bottleneck for my desktop even if it's only got a 10/100 WAN port? and also 100 will be fine for the wireless as well because my cable is only at 10Mpbs (upgraded it yesterday) anyway? If that's true, looks like a don't need an...
