Bought the $35 (after rebate) Palit GT240 from Newegg. Thanks all. I'll let you know how it works out later this week. My first priority is simply getting the computer working again! I hope I've diagnosed the problem correctly (i.e. dead fan on current video card).
Thanks for this recommendation. For the price it looks very good. I certainly don't want anything weaker than my current 6600GT. I like games but only very rarely. I'm not even sure which of the newest games my system could handle. However I still enjoy some old games.
With my 5+ year...
Hello,
My old (2005 built) system has been freezing lately after about 1-2 hours of usage (no response to mouse or keyboard input). Now it doesn't even make it into Windows.
Today I opened the case and noticed that the fan on my Leadtek 6600GT video card isn't spinning. So, I think I...
What do people think about 360 controllers for PC FPS games? I hardly play games anymore, but FPS (i.e. Quake 3) were about the only game I could tolerate using mouse + keyboard.
On a whim I just tried out Goldeneye 007 (N64 game) on the Project64 emulator but it seems that playing with...
At the 50" level, I am happy to pay a somewhat higher price for the quality of the Pioneer. However, for around the same price, I do want to look into a Panasonic or Samsung 58" model, because I would really like as large of a screen as possible. I know there are considerations on viewing...
So what else gives a real 1080p signal besides Blu-Ray, HD_DVD, or PC source? The way I am understanding your comment above is that even if an HD channel broadcasts in 1080i and then the TV de-interlaces it, that is not true 1080p. I could definitely be misunderstanding though.
Also, if...
Not trying to open the whole can of worms. Just wondering if I have the facts correct about which sources give potential benefit at 1080p. I believe they are BluRay, HD-DVD, PC gaming/use, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (though I'm not sure if any games actually output 1080p at this time). On the...
Here is the Pioneer 50" 1080p on Amazon (currently $3549 on Weds. 11/28, up from $3469 on Tues. 11/27!!! :( ):

Even though the 720p...
Why did you want to price match with Best Buy in the first place? Convenience of local pickup/delivery? Peace of mind in case of needing to return it and not wanting to ship back to Amazon? For me I'd pay $0 in tax and shipping on Amazon, so I see little reason to buy locally at BB and then...
My mouse speed is set at the highest but I cannot even reach all corners of the screen with this technique. Maybe I need new drivers? Using MS Wheel Mouse Optical, and I thought I downloaded the updated drivers not that long ago...
