In some instances I would definitely agree. In my opinion it does depend on the hardware inside the case, including any overclocking on top of that. After realizing the mistakes with my first case purchase I bought a mid-size Antec case, it came with a single 120mm on the back below the PSU...

I'm sorry I haven't seen this thread sooner, Gop. The bad news is several versions of PowerDVD 7 don't support HD-DVD. The really bad news is PowerDVD 8 removed all support for HD-DVD. On top of that, serveral hacks to re-enable HD-DVD support in PowerDVD 8 were disabled in updates to the...

It looks promising! I'll take variable backlighting over a tiny limited-use LCD display anyday. After several years Microsoft still seems to enjoy pushing their "F-lock" key system, and it bugs me to no end having to guess if my function keys are enabled or "locked out". If I wanted the F-lock...

PSI, if you are going to use the TIM for watercooling, you should only look at reviews that test the TIM under watercooling... it will change the results significantly in some cases. :) It's why I only use Arctic Ceramique on my WC builds, I saw some huge drops on my GPU core temps between it...

Heh, I was considering replying to your WC rant thread when I had time to make useful replies to a few points, but I guess I need not now. :D More seriously though... those watercooling results you link to are very interesting indeed. As Techgage doesn't review such stuff I can safely link to...

Well, I asked because I could be persuaded there's higher quality handling of the music going on in software... in fact it wouldn't half surprise me. I've tested with some FLACs and Foobar sounds just a tiny bit better, but I almost think it's a default mixer setting somehwere. It also uses only...

If you're going to use those Scotch brand pads, I'd recommend ya find the cheap offbrands. Dollar stores usually have them at half the cost and they are just a tiny bit thinner, so airflow works a bit better through them. I get a bunch of mine from a local flea market... hard to believe, a...

Oh wow, that is hilarious! This used to be a pay-only PSU calculator (with a cut down, lite version for free) which one could find at: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp What is funny, is they appear to have licensed it out to the various PSU makers... Antec also has the same...

You'd not have any trouble running WIndows 7 on it, as long as the video card was NVIDIA 6000 series or newer, or ATI 2000 series or newer. That said, I gotta agree with Rob. It's not worth buying old tech unless you already have much of the parts already and just need one or two. DDR tends...

I don't think they have to do anything fancy to get IP information, but I'm not sure how they link it to a correct email address. There was an article today in the WSJ where one LA police officer flicked a switch on a specialized software program, and instantly generated a surprisingly large...

Okay, I'm rather curious. Why isn't Winamp suited for high-def media when Foobar2000 is?

Well, I'm not sure how RAIDing SSD's got into this, I was comparing a single SSD to a RAID setup. As ya say, there isn't much of a performance gain for a home user and that's why a single SSD would be the better route. As far as hot plugging goes, my comments were directed specifically at the...

All I will say is this. Why else would they want to move the GPU into the CPU, unless the CPU was helping offload GPU processing? Basic GPU overhead doesn't warrant it by itself. ;) It's so very true! This was the biggest issue with synthetic programs, was their credibility. I do think far...

The status quo is no longer an option for NVIDIA, and they realize that. It's why they've been so aggressive with Tegra, and with the new direction they are taking with Fermi... it's a risk, but it could potentially open future markets and a new direction for NVIDIA. Without either one NVIDIA...

The Ars Technica article stated this bug also only occurs with users that migrated from previous versions of OS X without doing a full reinstall. Apparently something was changed in how guest accounts were handled, and migrating keeps the old guest account config if it was active.

I would agree, except in my opinion Vista is still "broke", and Windows 7 is the "fix". :D Windows XP is great for what has been on the market, but it's not capable of fully utilizing current high-end hardware, nor what is coming from here on out.

As a former user of Workstation 6.5.3 I downloaded and played with the freely available Workstation 7 RC build that recently went public. It's definitely a nice improvement, it feels like VM software has finally migrated to the 21st century thanks to the built-in graphics and sound support. ;)...

It will definitely be interesting... especially once some of these new abilities like graphene circuits are commercially developed, or any other one of the half-dozen recent discoveries that any one of them would completely change how circuits are fabbed. Intel's Larrabee seems rather shaky...

If it's not worth the cost of shipping, or I need to demo the product first I'll grab it locally, but otherwise it's significantly cheaper to just get it online someplace despite shipping costs. Newegg's slowly losing their pricing edge, so they are only the first place I look. I tend to find...

All you had were Kingston and Intel's, right? Only the new Gen 2 models even support Trim anyway... and only after you flash them from what I hear, because the current version (and only firmware available) doesn't support it ye, supposedly. I agree, I don't mess with anyone's computer...
