Thank you for the heads up! Between this and the release of the Westmere next year I'm tempted to wait another 6 months before buying a desktop. Hopefully my laptop will hold out till then.

The saddest SOBs have to be the RIAA. While working at my uni's IT department I saw several student being subjected to RIAA's harassment. They served lawsuits to some students (~$3,000), though most were "Cease and Desist" orders. What is a college student to do if he gets sued? RIAA definitely...

Found this at legitreviews! It gets me all tingly, it does! I took a pic of the features listed: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:o0Ya3bWCkzkJ:www.xfxforce.com/en-us/Features/RadeonHD5870.aspx+5870+dimensions+radeon&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a...

Quite bizarre, isn't it? The mechanical typewriters would keep getting jammed so they changed the layout. Now if you tried to change the status quo, you'd have a hard time entering the keyboard market. I'm reminded of the trackball...

It had a lot to do with our Anti-virus provider (Symantec) having trouble when Vista first came out. There were also some firewall issues, but neither of these was a problem with Vista itself, just the failure of a giant university to adapt to it. Plus I suppose it saved us the trouble of having...

HDD storage has dropped to $0.10/GB, the lowest its ever been. But with the advent of SSD, this is completely mute. I think we're shifting to a point where for the average user traditional HDD will be used only as additional storage data (perhaps external mostly). SSD will become primary...

That's a great effort. I'll spread it around!

Win a 24k gold MacBook Air!! WTF?!! Yep, but the laptop is valued at $5,000. You could always sell it and buy something that won't make you look like a pimp. It is a 24k Gold-plated MacBook Air 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2 GB RAM, an 80 GB internal drive, 13.3 TFT Display, Built-in...

Oh yeah, definitely good deals to be had. A few days ago I saw a combo of Intel Q9550 + ASUS P5E Deluxe = $270 (after rebate) @ Newegg. The motherboard by itself retails for $150+. Also, Microcenter has been selling the i5-750 for $180.

Lol, I love the way she inserted the motherboard into the box chassis. Mmmm...

Holy Bajeesus! I'd be surprised if you had any hair on your head left. I've wasted many a day away trying to work through Vista's problems, but nothing like the sort you experienced. I wish I could help but I only have a passing acquaintance with WIndows 7.

Ehh, same here. But then again I'm a Canadian expatriate (college/grad school) so I guess my interest in hockey was bound to erode. Also the strike didn't help, not to mention the smaller goalie pads, the increased violence, etc. But however much Hockey sucks watching on TV, it's the most...

Exactly, and don't forget that the slim PS3 is still being sold at a loss vs manufacturing costs. I suppose they intend to make up the losses via publication of new games, but this model wasn't very successful with the first PS3. Initial manufacturing cost was $800! Yipes...

I have Vista and there's many times that I wish that I could go back to XP (lost the license). I'm a casual gamer and games ran so much better on the XP than they do on Vista. Furthermore, my school made a conscious decision NOT to switch to Vista when it came out. It wasn't about the money...

100 Mbit = 11.9 MBytes per second. You're kidding me, right?

It does! I've found Google Chrome to use the least amount of resources while running.

Lol, thanks for the input. The Pioneer Kuro can do 1980 x 1080, but still wouldn't compare to hooking up 4 of those 30" screens. Maybe a high-end projector would work best.

Opera started tabbed browsing and still do it best. I prefer the older version of Firefox as I've noticed the crashes becoming more frequent and it's also gotten much slower. But the Add-ons make the browser indispensable for me. Maybe it's all the bookmarks that are slowing it down. I have...
