You’ll have full control over what goes into your system to maximize the system for your needs and be able to buy an extra stick of RAM or a bigger monitor with the money you save. At the heart of the system is a dual core Pentium E2180 with a clock speed of 2.0GHz and 800FSB that is built for today’s multi-threaded applications and consumes significantly less power than its predecessors. The socket 775 design, also known as Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) means that it is easy to install and upgrade your processor.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/06/20/intel-d945gcpe-socket-775-barebone-kit-2/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/20/leave-your-house-keep-your-tunes-the-pioneer-dehp4000ub-cd/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=leave-your-house-keep-your-tunes-the-pioneer-dehp4000ub-cd http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/20/leave-your-house-keep-your-tunes-the-pioneer-dehp4000ub-cd/#comments Tue, 20 May 2008 18:38:42 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4229 With the various forms of music storage available today, isn’t it high time for you to finally update your car’s cassette player? Okay, a cassette player may be an exaggeration. But you have to admit, you’ve always wanted to connect your iPod or USB flash drive to your car at one time or another.

If you do, you might want to consider the Samsung DVD-V6700 DVD Player/VCR Combo. It's designed to span the gap between the aging VHS format and the current DVD! It’s a combo unit, which means it doesn’t take up much space. It has a really low price tag and yet it is a capable unit that combines the abilities of two separate pieces of entertainment equipment.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/20/dont-desert-upconvert-with-the-samsung-dvd-v6700/feed/ 2 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/19/cooler-master-hydra-8800/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cooler-master-hydra-8800 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/05/19/cooler-master-hydra-8800/#comments Mon, 19 May 2008 13:47:10 +0000 John Gawley http://news.tigerdirect.com/?p=4205 Few technologies can compare to the graphics processing power that the ultra-powerful Geforce 8800 and Geforce 8800 GTX graphics cards can whip up. These are two of the most formidable graphics cards today. Unfortunately, they’re also notorious for running a little hot.

On the topic of speed, here are the figures: As far as DVDs are concerned, its lowest Write Speed is 5X, with DVD-RAM media. Its highest Write Speed tops out at 20X, for DVD-R and DVD+R media. On the CD side of it, Write and Read Speed top out at a reasonable 48X.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/04/28/sony-dru190a-20x-dvd-rewritable-drive/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/01/pimp-your-pc/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pimp-your-pc http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/01/pimp-your-pc/#comments Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:34:51 +0000 Tim McGuinness Ph.D. http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/02/01/pimp-your-pc/ The title’s a bit of a misnomer. MTV & Xzibit have nothing to do with this and it isn’t about bringing in your old PC so you can have it customized. However, considering the appearance of the computers in question and the amount of money involved to get them, your chances of actually owning one is as close as getting featured on the TV show.

Every gamer either has an overclocked system or wants and overclocked system.
There are two reasons that benchmarking is important. You want to know the speed and you need to test the stability.

Until that time, owners are warned to not use the AC adapter but instead use only the batteries, which at this time is deemed safe. The report states that this has been announced following a very small number of incidents of a malfunction in the device, in which a component in the wheel chassis may overheat and release smoke when the AC/DC power supply is used to charge the wheel. If you are the owner of an XBOX 360 wireless racing wheel, head over to the Microsoft XBOX Wireless Racing Wheel recall page for further instructions.
