    Video Card died, Need Info

    Happy to be of help - if at all possible when you replace the card - try to use the DVI ports, that use a true digital signal ( 1's and 0's ), the VGA port uses analog. It can be a night-and-day experience, you'll feel like you just got a new monitor, crisper colors, sharper image. I used to...

    Video Card died, Need Info

    Card pulled - good. I'm with you on redundancy! I'm all about having spares/redundant components! Until you get the replacement, the motherboard port is still an option to keep using the system. From wikipedia "PCIe 2.0 motherboard slots are fully backward compatible with PCIe v1.x cards...

    Video Card died, Need Info

    This. The spec sheet is here for the PC: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/inspd530/en/OM/HTML/appendix.htm It indicates the bus uses among other types of slots, PCI Express v1.0A, which is easier to get a card for then an AGP slot, someone already stated this I believe. There...

    CAGcast #274: A Journey Worth Taking?

    Agreed. It's not just you guys, even other podcasts I listen to tend to do the same - the game is mentioned at the start, then referred to as 'it' for the rest of the discussion. Sometimes I'm able to clue on on what game 'it' is, other times I have to rewind the podcast a few minutes. If I'm...

    KmartGamer 6.0 - Gears of War 3 $20 coupon + Save $30 on 12 Month XBLA

    I didn't have a $20 coupon, but I had the problem with the discount not applying as well. I emailed Josh for help with it at the address given at the start of the thread. The cards I purchased were the paper tear-strip type that are activated at the register. I didn't think to go to customer...

    CAGcast #240: Whities to the Rescue

    When I heard the reference to the Baseball Hall of Fame - I imagine I was the only CAG who was able to turn my head and look at the Baseball Hall of Fame at that moment. I work in Cooperstown and was driving past it on my way home. Thanks for that bit of amusement!

    Xbox 12 month LIVE $39.99 FS at Newegg/Amazon

    Thanks OP! I just bit and got a card - bought one from Amazon back in January for within cents of that price, figured I may as well get another. I'll be good 'till mid-2013 now, at a combined savings of $80 off list price! For those that don't know - you can stack your gold membership codes...

    Free 160 XBL points in email titled "Get more Your Shape: Fitness Evolved"

    Then you have my apologies. Not being privy to the other version of the email I wouldn't have known that. Perhaps it'll help someone like me who actually deleted the email after only glancing at it. Your message at least will help those confirm 'nope, didn't get the code'. I rarely...

    Not sure if this helps - I got the email and the code, missed it at first glance myself too.

Here's 160 free Microsoft points...

    Embarassingly stupid wireless security question

    Correct, if you just added the password/PSK, at both the router and the 360, the router should otherwise be fine, presuming that people were able to previously connect to you prior to doing this? If the router has a setting for UPnP, (Universal Plug n' Play), ensure its enabled. Also...

    Embarassingly stupid wireless security question

    Not really a stupid question, just sounds like you want to secure your network, correct? In wireless terms, for home networks, the password you're likely referring to is also known as a PSK (Pre-Shared Key). The router takes this PSK (you can consider it a password), along with the SSID...

    Question Reguarding Amazon Preorders?

    Correct, they don't charge until the product ships. The only emails you'll get are those of price adjustments (other then your order confirmation and shipping confirmation) - If I recall correctly, they guarantee the lowest price of a product between when you pre-order and when it ships. ie...
