I read that, however I also read that they users didn't always get WU's that are capable of running on all the cores when doing this. And I can't do anything I'd want in Linux, so my main PC is staying 100% windows. :)

Exactly... they keep mentioning "vCPU"s, but last I checked that's not a real CPU. Best I can tell it appears this software only uses one real logical CPU per VM? :confused: I'm currently using the trial of VMWare Workstation, it's a vast improvement over VMWare Server! Still limited to 2...

According to Anandtech, this isn't an OS as much as a basic Terminal. All you get is the Chrome browser, nothing can be run outside of the browser. Hence why this OS only targets netbooks. Honestly I don't see this catching on, in fact I think some users may dual-boot it on their netbooks but...

Just wanted to mention Acronis software can usually be found at some nice discounts every month or so, as much as half off that $50 MSRP. Or free, if you do rebates and own a competitor's product... ;) http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/936124/

I think it was the Death Adder, I don't remember it was just a display unit but I wasn't keen on it. Did some more research, I got my Microsoft mice mixed up. Wired Explorer mice go up to 4.0, wireless up to 2.0... and ironically the wireless version had the highest DPI, but both could...

You stated the unit went from 50% to 100% in 10 minutes... that's just not possible, but I was trying to politely mention that without directly calling you out on it. Such a feat would take several hours, at best. It has the superior run time because it is supposed to be a 2000 volt-ampere...

The Euler3D program is pretty good... it is not the full program, but a slice of it the author used to run a basic level generic test case scenario. Still it is entirely CPU bound and scales well, especially on Core i7. It'll take a little work to set up as it's all command line console based...

It's an old model mouse, I've not tried the newer one (2.0 as opposed to 4.0). I wasn't that impressed with Razer's mice, but I'm keeping a look out for a more gamer oriented mouse... not sure I like the Razer/Microsoft hybrid Habu either but after eyeing your reviews I can say it is NOT simply...

Wow, that sounds like the worst UPC I've ever seen or heard of. UTLRA is nothing but a budget brand and I would never recommend their products for mission critical uses or for protecting sensitive hardware. I've seen them take to many shortcuts on their line of PSU's to ever use them for...

Core 2 Duo's don't include Hyper-Threading, so yes. The number of cores equals the number of threads they can process at any specific time.

Enjoy the concert. :)

Psi, since you were interested in building a Core i7 rig, were there any bench data that you'd specifically wish to see? I know how Opteron's used to be king, but 60ns latency should not be that surprising. :) Using Everest and the settings in my sig, I get a consistent 43.8ns latency, FPU...

~600W is about the range I'd recommend, yes. Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and OCZ's GameXstream series are all brands/models I'd recommend. If you can find a really cheap 9600GT then that's probably going to be the best for your situation, but even a GTX 260 should net better performance. I...

Take a look at the feature list, and try to find one thing even worth that $20! I'm serious, most XP Pro users would be happy with W7 Home Premium as they've included just about everything of interest or use. Professional gets the backup features and ability to host remote desktop connections...

I would second the Xwing vs Tie Fighter.... just make sure it's the Collectors edition, because that one had 2x the resolution, better graphics, and I think it also had the extra expansions rolled in... I'm not sure anymore, there were so many Xwing games in that series!

I can answer yes. I recall one cooler included a tube of Ceramique, but the syringe had no label at all and I wouldn't have known what it was except that I was already familiar with Ceramique by then and figured it out. To be fair, the performance differences between TIM's is negligible with...

Hmm, I've only been using mine for three years or so, and since I game a couple hours a day when not extremely busy that oughta be saying something. :p The only thing on it that shows the age are the skid feet (worn them down) and the rubber-coated sides that I've rubbed off. The rest of the...

I guess that's one way for the author to bring home the bacon.

The enthusiast market might be a smaller portion of the overall motherboard market, but it is also a higher margin segment. ;) I don't know what the percentages are, but honsetly if you include OEM orders, then the entire consumer level discrete motherboard market itself isn't that large. I...

Hm, I take it you like dragons. ;) I'm pretty sure I've even seen that black dragon image someplace before, it's a nice one. Thanks! I'm in awe of not just the setting and the place, but how the photographer managed to pull it off. So much detail yet preserved so much shadow, and the colors...
