Those 3 places are a good place to start your search.

www.infonec.com - usually has good prices

www.shopbot.ca - is a really useful too when you are looking for the cheapest price on items.

Also remember that if you order out of province you don't have to pay PST. I just built my computer from NCIX in January and found their prices quite competitive with my local retailers and not paying PST just sealed the deal.

Your loss dude.

No, it isn't.

Sure is! You haven't played TF2, HL2 and Portal... some of the greatest PC game experiences of all time.

Get the driver from MS, and then hit the sync button on the receiver and the controller and then Bob's your uncle.

Until we have hard benchmark data on the 9800GTX this discussion is mute. But if past experience holds true, that nVidia almost doubles the power of their GPU every generation, then it is usually better to just upgrade to the new top-end GPU.

C2D CPUs are also more efficient then P4 CPUs, that means they don't need to go as fast to get as much work done. So comparing clock speed is useless.

I'll pay it for the 40K game, assuming they don't mess it up.

Stalker was great, I've played through the game twice, don't do that with most games.

ATI has some beta driver for use with Crysis until the 7.12 drivers are released.

Seems like a lot of money for what you are getting... go look at some 1920x1200 res benchmarks and tell me video memory doesn't matter.
