How about AMD processors? Roughly the AMD equivalent of E6600 is Athlon 64 X2 5400+ (2.8GHz, 2 x 512KB L2 cache) or Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (2.8GHz, 2 x 1MB L2 cache). The performance difference between 2 x 512KB L2 cache and 2 x 1MB L2 cache is extremely... See more

How about AMD processors? Roughly the AMD equivalent of E6600 is Athlon 64 X2 5400+ (2.8GHz, 2 x 512KB L2 cache) or Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (2.8GHz, 2 x 1MB L2 cache). The performance difference between 2 x 512KB L2 cache and 2 x 1MB L2 cache is extremely small except for in games (cf. AnandTech – Does AM2 Reduce the Impact of L2 Cache Size?). Although there is no mention of AMD processors in the AnandTech articles, * Athlon 64 X2 5400+ (2.8GHz, 2 x 512MB L2 cache) or higher should be fine for decoding higher-bitrate HD contents. * My Picks * Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 * Specs: 1.80GHz, FSB 800MT/s, Multiplier x9, 2MB L2 Cache, No support for VT * Price: ~$163 * Notes : This is right now the best bang for the buck. 1.80GHz is no enouth to play back HD contents smoothly and you will need To achieve the same frequency as E6600, just set the motherboard's FSB to 266MHz (266MHz x 9 = 2.40GHz). It can be overclocked easily to 3.0GHz = 333MHz x 9 with the default CPU voltage. However not all... See less

After doing our homework canvassing the internet rating sites about this HDTV set and others, we chose this set based on it being so highly rated for delivering a good quality picture from a regular cable source. (CNET to name one rating site.) We do not have HD yet so we only have a digital set top box. Whenever you go into video and audio specialty stores, you never get to see how a set performs on anything other than an HD source. After procrastinating for months, we finally took the plunge. Amazon's pricing was impossible to beat. The delivery by Eagle USA was excellent. We tracked the package. They called us the next day after they received it in New Orleans. Delivery was ontime. The guys carried it in and placed it on the stand. They even plugged in the connection for my wife. These guys went out of their way. Very professional in our opinion. Total delivery time was 7 days from ordering. Our neighbors have been amazed at the reception. Plug in a DVD via component cables and you... See less

Have had my TV now for about 2 1/2 months. Just look at all the great reviews this set has gotten from others. Have been very happy w/ it. I was debating between the Sony SXRD & the Samsung DLP. I went w/ the Sony because of the technology used on the Sony. LCoS 3-chip technology, vs. the Color-Wheel used by Samsung. I suggest using Cnet's, David Katzmaier's suggestions on user setting's ( search under Tips & Tricks, then type in Sony KDS60A2000 user-menu settings).After using those settings, you can tweak it a little more to get it exactly the way you want it. The picture still looks good when I have to get up & go into the kitchen to get something.SD channels look fine too. If you have Cable TV, find out if they offer an ADS line-up ( Advanced Digital Service). It makes the SD channels look better, they upgrade the SD channels which are Analog signal, to Digital. So the picture quality is much better on SD channels. This makes a difference on HDTV's. I currently have mine hooked up... See less

The Mitsubishi HD1000U projector really isn't a direct competitor to the Panasonic, in terms of price. Whereas, the Panasonic starts out with a street price very close to the $1999 MAP (minimum advertised price), the Mitsubishi launched at $1495, complete with a free spare lamp. Now, most lamps list for right around $400 and few can be purchased for much less than $350. For purposes of my reckoning, I'm going to place the value of the spare lamp, therefore, at a conservative $300. To me that means that the HD1000U projector is, maybe 2/3s the price of the Panasonic, so many of the buyers will be those who find the Panasonic to be out of their budget 11/20/2006 - Hold the presses. Effective today, Mitsubishi has cancelled the free lamp promo, instead, replacing it, with something much better: The HD1000U home theater projector now has a list price of only $995, compared to $1495 yesterday. This represents a significant net price reduction, allowing far more home theater enthusiasts to... See less

The NSK2400 is described by Antec as a desktop case, but that terminology suggests a throwback to an earlier era. The cosmetics and styling leave no doubt that this case is designed to blend well into modern audio/video equipment racks. Like most case makers, Antec now offers several horizontal PC cases in their lineup, including the fairly large Overture II and the smaller Minuet II. We have examined these in the past but found them average for noise or cooling. This is a common problem with all the horizontal media PC cases we've seen, examined or reviewed thus far. They are not great for cooling or low noise; usually both are problems. The NSK2400 was designed expressly with both low noise and effective cooling in mind. We know, because SPCR had a hand in its design. See less
