The number of businesses that still run IE6 because their Intranet doesn't work with later browsers... and the number of businesses that use said browser for browsing the Internet as well.... and they wonder why they have so many security issues. Some Admins need to run the numbers.... cost of...

I don't know.... 4GB of arguably slow ram, and the GT240 are a little bit on low end of things for a $1k system, even with the rebates, think most of the money went on the case, lol. But I don’t know, I’d have to look around at other systems for a better comparison.

Prof. Dr. Fritz Sennheiser passed away at the grand age of 98. His son has been running the company since 1982, so things will probably continue as they are. It’s a sad day for Audiophiles everywhere...

Indeed, when your products depends on the releases of another company - who release their products 6 months late - it makes a big dent in your bottom line. When XFX pulled out of the 470 and 480 market as well, i guess Nvidia's actions ruffled quite a few feathers and maybe even pushed a couple...

♫Lets do the time warp again....♫ Throw memories back to the fateful time when the battle of dual core processors came into being, there was the 'two glued together' Intel chip, and the AMD fused design. When push came to shove, the performance difference was and still is ~5%, while power draw...

Yup, those pirates are a real scourge... Lets sue people that download the movie online instead of wasting precious resources and time convicting knockoff DVD sellers on corner shops and car-boot sales that actually make money doing it... have to stop the pirates first..... :rolleyes: Here's a...

Usually configured in BIOS under Advanced as part of one of the options for the drive mode, it may be set as RAID but most BIOS's default to AHCI mode.

SSD's use flash memory, or NAND flash, so basically they're saying SSD's are the future. I've got to admit, the storage density race has been very quiet the last year with regard to mechanical drives, the only noteworthy point was the 1TB 2.5" drive, even though it was a 12.5mm drive rather...

Yeah.... don't rub it in :p. I'll have you know, my P4 can still handle the internet.... just.... as long as there isn't any flash.... or complex javascript... or other tasks running in the background... :D

I have a Dell U2410 and colour accuracy is pretty damn good, it won't beat an NEC, but it's half the price. There does seem to be a few complaints and pot-luck over the green/pink tint issue, but most have been successful with RMA's. The only thing that bugs me is the touch buttons on the bezel...

First thing I learned when working with plastic was.... slow down. If you have rampant melting going on, your tool's too fast, since what happens is - all the debris that's made gets heated up and forms back where you just cut as a molten mess. I've done some silly things like using a jigsaw and...

Are the colour bit-depths set differently, e.g. is the Monitor set to 16-bit and the TV 32-bit colour? Sometimes one of them gets changed after a crash or something from the graphics card, just double check. I'll look into other culprits...

It shouldn't happen, but it does, quite frequently. I've had 2 or 3 cards over the years whereby i've had the fan die. It is usually on the larger fans, over 40mm, when they can degrade pretty quickly. If they are going to fail, it's usually at the 6-8 month mark with normal use, high use and...

Sounds like the deathcry of a sleeve bearing fan, all too common on GPU's.... they give you a decent heatsink but skimp on the fan, oh well.

I don't know, the batteries are quite expensive. $100 for the battery, a $2 million store, 5 engineers and a screwdriver. :p

The advantage with the 2.5" drives is that you can fit 4 of them in the same space as a single 3.5" drive if you go with the 9.5mm depth drives and the 5200rpm drives produce less heat as well, reducing the need for active cooling. The vast majority of SSD's use the 2.5" casing and will consume...

Nice.... Blue and black all the way, it is extremely clean. I don't know if it's the perspective, but isn't the ATX connector very close to the G.Skill fan, will it interfere or will the cable have sufficient flex to stay out the way...

Damn that sucks. Yeah the 2 separate sockets are an issue, since there is a few differences in architecture, what's strange is the 1156 will be the first to get the onboard GPU's later despite the lower pin count. The added insult of heatsink manufacturers declaring compliance but the product is...

Most likely it's a driver problem, will probably be fixed in a later/earlier version. Nothing to really worry about since the fans will likely be controlled by the motherboard rather than the drivers.

Looked like a fridge to me first time round. :) How about ATI partner with SMEG, then they can look retro, loosely affiliated with Red Dwarf (red = ATI, Dwarf = Smaller Chip size on the 5 series, ignoring the fact that the ship was a giant asteroid :D) and be cool (SMEG make fridges as well if...
