Thought it would be the 5 series. While i understand the prices staying high, if not rising, i don't mind too much since they need to recover some cash. Their CPU line is taking a beating still from Intel and nvidia had a choke hold for over 2 years, so ATI had to sell cheap. They aren't abusing...

I find it amusing when people demand competition from nvidia because of ATI's massive choke-hold on prices, all $400 of it.... for 6 months.... Didn't Nvidia massively abuse its share for 2-3 years with $700 cards? Just a thought...

Hide SSID doesn't actually do much to prevent hackers, since they'll know a signal is there, they just won't know its name. Like meeting someone in a street, you know they're there, you just don't know their name. As you have found out as well, enabling it just causes you problems and it won't...

And if one size doesn't fit all, it's available in 3 additional sizes, Large, Gigantic and Humongous. It's just sooo wrong...

Price and Density table entries are the wrong way round :p.

Librarian: HyperThreading: You ask the assistant for a book, he goes to retrieve it, you follow him and then ask him to get another book as well. You both arrive back at the desk where you collect. Virtualization: You walk into a library and ask for a book, the assistant sits there idly, then...

Hyper threading, an intel invention (by name) designed to squeeze more power out of a processor by allowing a single core to operate on 2 threads simultaneously.... but, if i take the highway example, it'll be like fitting 2 motorbikes in a single lane rather than 1 car... sure, you can have...

No, is the short answer to the above, lol. If you had 2 Cores runnign at 3Ghz, you have... 2 Cores runnign at 3Ghz, you don't combine the speed, it just allows it to do 2 different things at the same time. A Core is a processing unit, in that it is a processor unto itself. Multiple cores is like...

They're not needed, agreed, but they can make a difference, especially when handling very large files. With the NAS, you're more likely to hit hardware limitations (Hard drive or NIC) before you see any benefit from JFrames, but since this Thecus NAS supports them, might as well test it. The...

Fair bit of reading involved, but this is one of the links for the Firmware Replacement for the RT-N16 - Tomato ND USB Mod with kernel 2.6. The other option would be to use DD-WRT, but that doesn't support jumbo frames, which is a shame since it is far easier to use.

Creative + modern OS = very limited support. When vista came out they decided to charge people for updates.... didn't go down well. But, at least they've somewhat grown up.... a bit. Anyway, going to need the soundcard model, is it a SB Live!, Audigy, X-Fi, or just a plain old SB (like 9 years+...

For simple Gigabit networks, it is just a case of plug and play mostly, if you want the most out of it, you'll need to do some tweaking. CAT6 cable is not needed, you can get away with 5e for 1Gb speeds, CAT6 just has extra EM Shielding through double twisting to protect against interference...

The only thing that's faster would be a PCI-E drive from someone like Fusion-IO, but they are not bootable (yet). Once you take the sata controller out of the equation, you'll get faster IO in both sustained speeds and latency. With storage solutions, it's getting to the point whereby the only...

Soul Calibur IV, DLC clothing packs... Male clothing, £2.49 per set. The female clothing sets, £3.29 each.... biased at all? When DLC value exceeds more than the cost of the original game, and provides mere distractions, then yes, things have gone too far. In fairness, it is very easy to...

P * R * I *<------- sweet spot (5770) C * E* PERFORMANCE Use Code tags to stop white space removal, html [per] tags don't work... *sigh*.... ASCII art confined to a code box... oh well.... Grade increased to A-...

Pi Day can not be celebrated in the UK due to a mathematical failure of the calendar system for there aren't 14 months in a year (Day/Month/Year), so the earliest that we can celebrate Pi day is 3/1/41, January 3rd, 2041, so we have 31 years of preparation for a really big Pie. However, we may...

Price vs Density of flash is still not low enough. There is also time to consider, it takes mere seconds to create a CD/DVD/BD (they're not burned like we the consumer do, they inject polycarbonate resin into molds and then spray a reflective layer onto them, the data is already on the mold, so...

I'm going to agree with Rob on RAID, if you want it for performance, eg, RAID 0 (Striped), don't, it's not worth it. Since RAID 0 only increase sustained throughput, you won't see a major benefit since latency times will still be the same or worse and thus things will appear the same as a normal...

It briefly flashes the date at the end of the trailer. 12/17/2010 So the end of the year, long wait then, and thats probably for the imax release only, and there may be other delays, etc, etc, pinch of salt, you know the drill with long dates.
