  • 1. BFG Tech OC cards..
    Was wondering about the BFG Tech OC (overclocked cards). Specifically, I am interested in the Geforce 6800 GT OC and 6800 Ultra OC. Are they worth the wait? (they are sold out everywhere). Also, I am wondering about stability issues. I don't mind spending a little extra for a few extra frames per second, but when it comes to stability that is the most important thing. I don't know how I feel about OC cards as it sounds like a gamble. However conceivably the BFG tech cards could be better cooled than your other average cards, and perhaps they are well tested as well. Anyone have or ever use a BFG Tech card? Thanks.. -Dud
  • 2. Compaq 5017 Flat Panel That Just Turns Off..
    I have a Compaq 5017 Flat Panel that powers up for a second and then turns off. I did have to buy a third party A/C adapter which should be ok. I'm also using a KVM video cable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks - Al

Microsoft To License Graphics Technology From Nvidia for Xbox 360's Backwards Compatibility

Microsoft has signed a deal to license Nvidia's graphics technology in order 
to have the Xbox 360 backwards compatible--finally putting to rest the 
question that lingered behind current-gen Xbox users.
The next-gen 360 uses an ATI chipset, whereas the current Xbox uses an 
Nvidia chipset. Since the two companies are rivals in the GPU market, many 
analysts were skeptical that Microsoft would deliver. The company made a 
cryptic announcement at E3, saying the "best-selling" Xbox titles would work 
on the Xbox 360.

Microsoft since then has become more optimistic about backwards 
compatibility, with Microsoft Xbox PR Manager Michael Wolf saying, "our goal 
is to make all Xbox games play on Xbox 360, and at launch we'll have a 
selection of the top selling that will be tested and confirmed to work."
