Of course. What I said was made with the assumption it was a CPU-centric program. It wouldn't make sense to buy a six-core processor when the programs used are already bottlenecked or constrained by the disk storage system, or are to large to fit within the system RAM. There really aren't...

Impressive, nice to see some companies don't mind innovating a little to avoid absurd costs like this. They even mention the cost of the RAW drives in their chart... $81,000 for drives, and $117,000 for the final solution is pretty good. Looks like they spent it on good quality boards/CPUs...

Wow, that is appalling to say the least! Sounds like either some dubious practices are going on or some one at LG is simply extremely lazy and sloppy programming. Or perhaps just all the above. Thanks for the warning, sounds like one company I can make a note of to avoid.

As long as you can find a six-threaded program or any program that can use six cores, then it will indeed scale. The question isn't really if it will scale, but if you have any programs that could even use it. :cool:

Rather than try to explain it I'll borrow the wiki, they pretty much have it right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM_(SSD_command) Basically when you delete a file it doesn't delete the contents of a sector (on a hard drive) or the contents of a cell (on a SSD). This is how data recovery...

Hey, those RAM modules are not meant to be used to bookmarks! Especially in Playboy magazines, you oughta know better! :D A bit more seriously, you did remember to update the BIOS again after reverting it to that old version I hope! At 1.5v some people were getting some rather decent 4GHz+...

Just not on OS X 10.6. ;) Oh it should run just fine, but should something not work and they need to call up technical support they're likely going to run into trouble. For example Supreme Commander Forged Alliance was released Nov 2007, it's not that old. It worked on Vista but it was...

That is really bizarre, but its amazing to read that. Completely makes an about face about what I thought about the prevalence of lactose intolerance I used to be badly allergic to milk (There is a difference between an allergic reaction versus being lactose intolerant), and while I did...

That is an interesting source for this data. The site the newspaper grabbed the statistics from is a website that runs speed tests, and the site itself exists solely to promote higher internet speeds for the US. OECD and others have published different numbers, but whatever the precise number...

This is no such thing, users must have purchased a Gigabyte card from Newegg and submitted a Newegg review on it to be eligible for this.

There is a great deal worth saying on this subject, but suffice to say even if some big studio execs did happen to be reading my posts I don't think it would make an iota of difference. Probably the only thing they'd remember are the dollar signs I used. My views are pretty similar to those...

Good god the amount of information in that article is mind boggling, and I did read the first two SSD articles! I'm only halfway through it, but soon as I have a clear head to focus and the time to read I'll finish it. Or actually wait a minute... I'm only on page 8 out of 27. Okay, maybe make...

Now THAT would be rather interesting... I'd be amazed if the thing could keep up with an SSD though, at first bet I'd suspect it would increase the access latency and find itself saturated under 200MB/s operations. That said, if the unit can be daisy chained then I don't see it having any...

Hi Bob, that sounds like some of the plugs aren't connected, or were connected to the wrong jacks. Have you installed the drivers for your sound device and checked the plug profile to see if it can detect which jacks the speakers are plugged into? It should be possible for you to reassign...

NVIDIA already stated they had a chip in the works that's due early next year, I don't see it getting stopped unless Intel takes them to court over it frankly. NVIDIA's chipsets are losing their luster in the admittedly much smaller AMD market, so if they don't make a LGA1156 chipset then they...

The large battles do sound interesting, but the true 3D sound that interracts as it should though objects is what got my attention. So few games even bother to implement the most rudimentary sound occulsion beyond one or two special effects and toying with the sound volume as a work around.

NVIDIA was planning chipsets for Lynnfield... if Intel doesn't attempt to block them then this might certainly help NVIDIA get back to where they were, especially in tandem with new high-end & midrange GPUs. Sort of ironic but just like with Vista DirectX11 is already installed in Windows 7...

It's a shocker, but because it's ignored by the media everyone just says its too bad when they hear about some incident and turn a blind eye to it. Every couple months another person smuggling people across the border for use in the slave trade gets caught and makes the local news, but the...

Hey JMke! I was pretty sure you said somewhere that it was for speed reasons.... sorry that I apparently remembered wrong. Wasn't my intention to misquote you and I appreciate the correction/clarification. :)

What's the price difference? I saw Frys selling an EVGA GTX 275 for $155 today... if its the older model 260 (not the Core 216) then it is worth considering if its not much more.
