EVGA GeForce 9500 GT – Mini Review

October 24th, 2008

 I just bought the EVGA GeForce 9500 GT video card from Amazon and so far I’m quite impressed.  For a budget video card it is quite capable of running many of the newer games, even if they do have to be set on low to medium settings [Keep in mind, this is all based on when the game was made and how graphically-detailed it was made to be]. I got it for $65 with free shipping, so you can’t beat that.  I’m playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Fallout 3 without a problem what so ever.  My temperatures seem to be keeping cool, and I haven’t had to adjust fan speeds.  This is a great card if you don’t want to spend a lot but are looking to play some of the newer games.

Enable MP3 Ringtones on your LG Scoop AX260

September 3rd, 2008

Having a few problems using your own MP3′s as ringtones on your LG Scoop AX260? Due to apparent legal restrictions, you are not able to add MP3s as ringtones since they could be downloaded illegally.  Fortunately, below is a step-by-step guide to using your own songs as ringtones for ‘technically free’ (since the only thing you have to pay for is web access), without the use of a USB data cable and/or BitPim.

First off, you’ll need the following things to accomplish this:

  • The AX260 has a web browser, but you’ll need the Web Browsing service activated for your carrier. I’m assuming Alltel since the LG Scoop is their name for the model.  It will cost $1.99 for one day of web service or $5.99 per month.
  • An account registered at Ventones.com.
  • An MP3 of your choice.

Once you have all 3 things:

Create free ringtones from your own songs

May 12th, 2008

With Mobile17 you can create ringtones from your own music files.  Where ringtone providers will charge you an arm and a leg, Mobile17 lets you upload an mp3/wav of your favorite song, then pick a clip out of the song.  It then sends you the file, through a picture e-mail or something similar where you can select it to play as a ringtone.  They claim to be compatible with over 95% of available cell phones so chances are you won’t have a problem being able to upload and create your own free ringtones.  The wait time can be over 2 hours, but if you donate some money they will give you ‘Express’ credits, or you could always buy a subscription.
