Re: [H] Vidcard upgrade?
Well good luck finding one for < $300-400 (assuming you can find one) which is almost double the cost of the AGP x850 or the PCI-E x1950. I'll "limp" along happily with the x850 @ ~$200 given that upgrading to new mobo would mean dumping the card anyway.

[H] Brother 2070N Laser
Well, my Canon S600 bubble-jet printer finally died! Looks like electrical, but can not be sure. Yes, using a refill black cart! But, the "hollowed out" text lines are very random. Doesn't look like plugged jets. Will play with it later! Went to Office Depot. Had the Brother b&w 2070N laser printer on sale for $99.99. Has network built in. Nice gray scale and quiet. 1st print is much faster than the Canon BJ. I'm happy, and, finally up to a laser! 20ppm, 250 sheet tray. TN-350 replacement cart was $62. UG says that I can replace just the toner cart and keep old drum, or, replace both in one shot. I do like this deal alot! Happy so far. Sale at OD lasts until 06JAN2007.

Re: [H] corrupt codecs
If you go to add/remove programs, does it give you a "repair"option for that install? That usually works for apps that have that option.

[H] Replacement for iTunes, MusicMatch, etc.
What do y'all use to play mp3s on your PCs? I have all of my CD collection ripped to Mp3 but I don't have a good player outside of iTunes and MusicMatch. MM is buggie and iTunes wants to install quicktime as memory resident. It doesn't seem as if Nero has a decent player that will let you browse your collection in any meaningful way. I guess WMPlayer is an option, but it seems clunky too for browsing the collection. Is there anything that actually works well and isn't too much of a system hog?

[H] Consumer reports smokes crack
In the latest Consumer Reports here in Canada, they have a blurb on "The hidden costs of a new laptop" - "Don't for get to add in the prices of a padded carrying case ($50 and up), extra battery ($100-$200), spare power adapter ($80 and up) and usb mouse ($30.) Your laptop's price tag often does not include these essential extras." Well of course it doesn't. They aren't essential - other than possibly the case. The extra battery could be useful in some unusual circumstances, and I guess one could use an spare power adapter if one lost the original, but a mouse? Come on. Plus a USB mouse can be had as cheaply as $20. I've used a laptop as my primary computer for about three years and all I have from this list of "essentials" is a carrying case ($30.)

Even if one factors in the RAM on the video card, 12.5 seems steep to me - especially since as far as I can tell, most power supplies would have a hard time putting that sort of power out.

Who are these consumer reports targeted at? They don't sound like they are targeted at the tech savy road warrier that is going to know about the battery, case, mouse and power brick. So that means thay are targeted at regular consumers that are buying a laptop because they are easier to hide away or move between home and work or collage and home. If that's the case then they have got it really wrong as these people don't usually need the extra battery and power adapter. Sure the case is useful, but you don't need one if you are replacing an existing unit, they aren't proprietary after all :) same goes for the mouse. Over here in the UK we have the Which? Magazine which sounds quite similar. It's not a publication I would use for advise to be honest. Whenever I've seen them do group tests of anything like current technology, they are very out of date and don't include all the options, just what you can get on the high street. The populist items if you like.
