Could always try selling it here, or seeing if anyone is buying from BB and wants to use your card in exchange for cash. Someone from TPU should be able to help.

I believe in some states, like CA, retailers have to cash out gift cards when asked to. They do not like doing it and will hesitate but I believe they will do it. Its been some time since I worked in retail :laugh:

youre not right, crazy;)
i got an LG Flatron, enabling me HDCP on DVI,VGA and HDMI (everything has its own out). now, what now?:p

i just dont know how big this series gets, inchwise :eek:

EDIT: my old Samsung LCD has burn in issues. mozilla firefox´s taskbar has burned itself, very subtle in the upper part of it... dont ask me, how i did that, but i believe i overheated the screen

well i mean it has hdcp on HDMI and DVI but also has COAXIAL for cable tv ;) with a 1920x1200 res at 25.5inch no other monitor in its price range equals it for what i want in connectivity with resolution and at proper size

it means i dont need a tv tuner or any of that i can just switch between pc and tv on the fly which is key for me as my tv is 1 foot to my left i like to what i call lazytasking watching tv while surfing the net aimlessly

how do you guys feel about a X2 5000+ 45nm based on the Phenom II? I am considering grabbing one in a few days to replace the X2 5kBE 65nm that i sold.

shouldn't be a bad replacement, if not mistaken, its more efficient and overclocks better I would say.

thats what i was thinking. if it unlocks to a quad that would be a hell of a replacement.if not hopefully i can get it to 3.6ghz that would be amazing 3 duals@3.6ghz would do wonders for my PPD compared to what i had before...

if all goes as planed
X2 240@3.6ghz
X2 5000+ 45nm@3.6ghz(possibly unlock as a quad at lower speed)
E7200@3.6ghz(got it stable at that clock completely now vdroop was killing it)
X2 4200+@3.1ghz
E1500@2.8ghz
P4HT@3.9ghz
hows that for a little farm?

thats due to POS ability to clock real good;)
but the proc is shit (or the board is just a whore) , my e5200, which is truly the crappiest of its kind, did even 3.3 on 1.35.
its good fur crunching, but i would consider every C2D "bin-worth" which cant reach 3.5 with 1.3...

luckily the 240 kicks its nuts, and behaves far better. i really need a few of those... maybe i should buy me three, bin one, and sell the other 2 again

good luck on the 5000+ 45nm! a quad would slowly take you in my direction:D
