i love bringing this thread from the dead

anyway whilst looking for a 8800gt i wonder upon this gem:


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...OnlyMark=False

Be Very Careful 1/15/2008 1:35:19 PM


Pros: This is a great vga card. It is a very slim card for an 8800.

Cons: OK. HERE IT IS! I really feel stupid. I bought this card for my son's new gaming system I built. Got Newegg's Windows XP oem version. DIRECTx10 DOES NOT SUPPORT XP!!!! It is for Window's VISTA only! SO ... I warned ya. Microsoft has no intention of supporting XP with DirectX10. Gee .. I wonder why more & more people are becoming anti-Microsoft?

Other Thoughts: I am a fairly knowledgeable builder who has usually studied hard all the changes in the industry. I got caught napping on this. I have built about a dozen systems from the 90's until now.

thats a very long nap how long have "we" ie the community, known no dx10 in xp?

[[XC] 2long4u]

Pros: It's a nice laptop... But the price is not justified. I've personally used MacBook Pro and I have to say that I'm not satisfied (by used I mean I've run games on it and used it for more than 30 minutes, which is plenty of time to get a grasp of general performance). The OS is nice, and so is the computer, but thats about all.

Cons: For about $100 more you can get a Dell XPS (sorry for the deluded guy below that said it'd outperform them) that has virtually the same specs but two Nvidia 8700M in SLI with an additional physics card. This isn't a con about the computer in general, just that for the performance, this is over priced... WAY over priced.

Other Thoughts: To the guy that said it has a 1920x1200 resolution, stop lying. 1920x1200 resolutions are only on 24"+ LCD screens. Folks, save your money. If you NEED Mac, get a cheaper MacBook with no upgrades, MacBook Pros ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

lol QFT

Off topic, I know:

I don't know if this is kosher, but it's as funny as any review on Newegg!

DSLR Review of Qwest

The CO is only a few blocks away from us.

If you are in Morgan, it is just behind the laundromat by the trailer park (over by the Dodge dealership).

It works great. Thanks to that engineer. We have had no problems at all.

Carry on...

Hey, what's wrong with trailer parks ?

Other Thoughts: dont get high and order your parts online because you WILL make a mistake and order the wrong thing

[GunterFalstaff]

the newegg reviews i hate the most are the ones that give a product 1 egg because it shipped to them broken, or not working properly, or shipped late (anything that causes the product to perform incorrectly)... that has nothing to do with the performance of the product! when someone is looking for some hardware and wants to know, by ratings, what works the best... the actual review is skewed by the artards who gave it bad reviews when THEY NEVER ACTUALLY USED THE PRODUCT! >.< random shipping problems or doa's are to be expected with electronics... just RMA it and give a review when u get to try out a working one!

Maximus Extreme.

Pros: Lots of features. Cost effective DDR2 memory. Installed WXP and RHEL5 quickly with all required drivers.

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

LOL, who pays 5$ for 100 cable ties. And then shipping? Try a dollar store.

Pretty damn funny comments on them though.

Review of QX6850


Jsharbour

Ownership: 1 week to 1 month 2/7/2008 9:20:52 PM What's the point?


Pros: fast

Cons: What's the point? 1333 FSB, 8MB L2. Just overclock a Q6700 for half the price, or a Q6600 for 1/4 the price.

Turkish

2/27/2008 7:43:23 PM Response to Jsharbour


Pros: Sorry to inform Mr. or Mrs. Arbour, but I have/had a q6600 and it only allows a multiplier between 6-9. It is stock at 9 so the only OC you can do is to the FSB in which case you can't push it near as high as an extreme which has a fully unlocked multiplier. The Q6700 is no different except the stock multiplier is set to 10 so again, purely FSB OC. If you want to really push your OC abilities go with an extreme, that's what I did

Cons: power hungry, need good cooling, other voltages have to be cranked into the red-zone.

Other Thoughts: Awesome processor, would have gone with the 45nm but many sites list incompatibility, besides whats wrong with this thing at 3.6, trust me its stupid fast

WOW, 3.6ghz !!! Surely you cannot get a q6600 to go that fast by only increasing the fsb

Pros: DDR3 ram is the fastest ram ive seen, it actually keeps up with the rest of my computer, my entire computer can now run at 1333 mhz with core 2 duo 3ghz overclocked to about 3.2ghz wich is enough. got four raided hard drives which run at 3 gigabytes a sec each. Corsair ram as always comes with great reliability and stability.

Cons: expensive but prices will eventually drop

Other Thoughts: so fast

HERESY !!!

This guy dares to compare his 8 year-old Voodoo Banshee to the fastest AGP card ever made...

SOURCE

Pros: Its the best agp card I've ever had! i upgraded from my voodoo2000 AGP AND THIS THING KICKS. THANKS NEWEGG AND THANK YOU ATI!

Cons: Well, if you have an agp system and you DONT have this card, thats a con.

LoL!

Does Not WORK!!1

Pros: Specs are outstanding

Cons: i could not get this chip to run at all and had a hard time fitting it into my GIGABYTE AMD 790FX ATX Mobo. had to hammer it in.

Other Thoughts: did not post. had no screen at all. mobo mad funny noises.

[ARC1450]

No. God no. Seriously, no.

I hope that's a joke review. It had better be a joke review. Someone needs beaten down if it's even possibly real. :'(

This user purchased this item from Newegg.com

Pros: This card was bought pretty much to play counter-strike source. I was so used to playing with 30fps.... Now im hitting 160fps on this sweet card in-game and 80-100fps during a gun battle. I couldnt ask for more for the price and i plan on buying another to run sli and maybe one more to run 3 sli. Its that good
Cons: Some people think it big... it is but not a problem for me
Other Thoughts: awesome card, cant wait to get another!

1) Buys an 8800GT to play CS
2) Wants SLI to get 200fps on CS
3) Wants to get triple SLI for more CS, besides he doesnt know the fact that 8800GT doesnt support triple SLI

some silly ones here.

Pros: Not sure, haven't been able to use it.

Cons: I plugged this in, and the entire block blacked out. Also, my computer exploded and set my chair alight.

Other Thoughts: 2000 watts is abnormally large. Just like the PSU.

[Zytek_Fan]

Also, my computer exploded and set my chair alight.

For some reason I believe that part...

hahahaha
That PSU is just amazing for comments, expect more to come
