You mean like your local TV station/ Big Network Affiliate? If that's what you mean, then yes, you can go directly through them. In my opinion, it would be cheaper than going through a 3rd party,...

Maya is in fact a product of Autodesk now. I don't think it's being phased out though, since they just released a new version just before they released the new version of 3ds Max. Its also highly...

Oh, I see why it's hard to find... it's a kit! Why not just find a 2GB stick and just buy four of them?

After reading up a little bit on PCI 2.0, it seems like it wouldn't make too much of a difference with the vast majority of currently available graphics cards. All PCIe 2.0 does is double the...

If you're looking to really pinch some pennies, I'd suggest taking a look at HP's Pavilion 9060 ($1400)or 9080($1900). They both feature the Q6600 Quad-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and great video...

I'm curious to hear what the answer is as well. I've been researching the EX myself, and if it can use the DR60, that would be awesome. I'd also like to add to the original question... If the EX can...
