    Operating Temperature of Radeon 9800 Pro

    What is the safe operating temperature range of the Radeon 9800 Pro. I ask because I removed the OEM fan and heatsink and installed a passive Zalman heatpipe ZM80A-HP(www.zalman.co.uk) and am wondering if the temps I'm getting are appropriate. Currently the base of the heatsink is running at...

    It's called "Safe" and it's ready to be unlocked. I'll play tonight and get back with impressions. Though, I doubt I'll beat some of you to the punch...

    Yet more XBL/Router/Hub questions.

    Okay, my problem is this: I have 2 XBoxes, a computer, and RoadRunner. I know the MS wireless router (500) will work fine with one XBox and the computer, but can I throw on the other Xbox - through a hub? - onto the router and will it affect my connecting the two XBoxes for system link play? If...

My problem is that I can't find a set/kit and Best Buy, or the like, that will allow me to hook up the XBoxes...

    Is satellite a viable alternative to DSL/Cable for online gaming yet?

    I ask because I live in the boonies, outside Austin, and we are not scheduled to receive DSL service until next year. Dammit, I can't wait that long! There is XBox Live a'going on! Have latency issues been addressed or is that going to be a fact of life with data comm via the airwaves...

    DavisLab Processor One, any news?

    It seems that this unit has all but been forgotten and news coming out of Korea has dried up. What's the deal? Is this pre/pro still slated for release? What of AV123.Com's partnership, is it still a go? Its modular design has my interest piqued. Any help and info would be appreciated...

    What's up with Hong Kong Legends' version of The Killer?

    I can't seem to find it or any news on it anywhere. I've done a search on this forum, as I seem to recall a member on this forum and other review sites having the disc(s) in hand. But, a search of HKL's website provided nothing new... I can't seem to find the title anywhere. What gives...

    Any experience with Wintex Wintrax CD controller software?

    I have been looking around for a solution that would allow me complete control over multiple CD players via a computer. I found this bit of software that seems *close* to what I want. The only feature missing that would seal the deal for me would be direct MP3 access off a local hard drive(s)...

    Cleaning silk-screened text off the face of components.

    Does anyone know how this could be done without harming the finish. The two components I want to do this to are my Denon 4802 and Panasonic RP91. The RP91, in particular, is anodized champange so cleaning of all the silk-screened text, of which there is a lot, might harm the finish. Does...

    Does the component switching on Pioneer Elites allow for full bandwidth?

    Thinking about getting either the VSX-35TX or the VSX-36TX, but I can't find any info about the quality of the component switching. Does it pass the complete, full bandwidth of the signal? Any help would be appreciated.

    Any RPG Makers out there?

    Anybody make any RPG's using RPG Maker 2000 (PC)? I've been working on a project for a little while and the whole process has been rather fun and educational. Maybe we could swap some ideas.

    Unfinished Business in Final Fantasy 7 (Emerald)

    So I'm sitting in front of the tube, staring at a stack of consoles (and wondering how I'm going to fit a couple more in) then back to the software shelf. I do this a couple of times until something catches my eye - Final Fantasy 7. Then it hits me - I did not beat the Emerald Weapon. Being...

    Anyone with experience swapping batteries on NES carts?

    I want to play Zelda again, but that batteries gotta be over a decade old. I popped the cart to find the battery tack-welded, I can remove it, but replacing it will be a chore. Is there an easier solution? (Besides EMU :) )

    Could someone explain how the GBA will interface with the GC?

    I'm curious. Does it allow you to play GBA games on your TV? (This would be great) Does it allow for extra in-game options, like GC-only quests? Can it perform similiarly to the VMU for the DC with sports games? (Another great feature) I can't seem to find hard info on how the two will...

    Famicom and Super Famicom title suggestions please.

    Okay, I recently picked up a Super 8 converter for my SNES. What I need is a list of good Famicom and SFamicom games. Preferably, games that didn't make it to this side of the ocean that are great to play. I'd even like to get some titles that did make it over here but got butchered along...

    I need help finding out who this performer is.

    He appeared on Late Night with David Letterman a few weeks ago. He sang Steve Miller's Jet Airliner, dressed like a hobo. When Letterman walked over to congradulate him on his performance, he seemed feeble-minded. I don't know if in fact he is, he just appeared as such. He was in his 50's or...

    Total Movie & Entertainment magazine out - rushed?

    After a couple of months hiatus, Total Movie is back on the shelves. After breezing through the issue (a bit light on the actual content, plenty of space-consuming pictures and fluff), I didn't have a chance to read the larger articles, just did a quick fly-by over all of them. My memory seems...

    Does anyone have any insights on these speakers? I've got a friend who seems to be able to get a pair for a good deal but I am unsure about quality. Does anyone have any experiences with them? Thanks.

    What the Deal with "Singin' in the Rain: Remastered Edition"

    I was browsing through the ColumbiaHouse catalog and came across this. It claims the disc includes an 8-page book and a 'special look at the making-of.' Is this the older keepcase version? I was not aware that it had a making-of doc. I think ColumbiaHouse goofed on this as I surely would...

    Do LCD Projectors Suffer Burn-In?

    I can't seem to find a thread on this, yet I vaguely remember it being mentioned that they do not. My question is that since I plan to skip RPTV and go for an LCD projector, will I have any problems playing video games for any length of time? Do they suffer the same burn-in problems and issues...

    Looking for a Good Top-Down Shooter.

    Something in the 'Blazing Lasers' vein. Side-Scroller recommendations also welcome (i.e. R-Type), but a top-down is what I'm really looking for. I'm hoping to find a good coin-op or at least a console game with an arcade counterpart. Something mindless - just press play and start shooting...

    Denon DVD-2800 review in Sound & Vision, Chroma Error Found

    Has anyone seen it yet? It appears that the Denon gets hit for displaying the chroma error. This would make it the first player where this error is brought to light in a major magazine. (Not including their DV-38a review where they mention a problem, but seem unsure what is causing it). If...
