    What's Coming to Windows 7 RC?

    I must have a gift, if there is a bug in the software I always seem to find it... Due to the volume normalization getting screwed up in the Xonar drivers making it hard to hear half of the sounds or voice coms while in game I uninstalled my Xonar drivers, rebooted, reinstalled my Xonar...

    OCZ's 1TB SSD

    More links: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=911 http://www.nordichardware.com/news,8875.html The drive will retail for $1,500, with even larger models planned in the future. What is amazing is the sheer size, the thing is larger than the largest GPUs! Won't fit in many...

    CUDA n-Body

    I'm saything they are not a total waste of time, specifically because F@H has several classes of simulations that are not inherently parallel... they would be faster or just as fast to run on a Dual or Quad CPU. What I mean is, if you use Ctrl+C to close any of the F@H CPU clients, it shuts...

    Kindle 2 Text-to-Speech Feature Now Optional (to Publishers)

    Yeah, that's what they are thinking I'm sure. But it's like the RIAA, they themselves admitted all those lawsuits in the end cost them more money than they gained from doing so. And that the primary purposes wasn't to regain lost revenue but simply to scare a portion of the downloaders into...

    Oops? or maybe not.

    Krazy, as Rob said your post makes no sense. You dropped it? What are you missing? The FSB is not your memory frequency unless its running in a 1:1 ratio. I have Corsair kits of XMS2 DDR2-800MHz RAM (4-4-4-12) that operate stable at 1,000Mhz 5-5-5-15, so it's not impossible. They've changed...

    Gigabyte EX58-UD5

    The name escapes me but from what I know there are a few system builders that use Gigabyte motherboards. Gigabyte, just like everyone else, has their share of niggling issues, but failure rates is not one of them. I've owned one of the very first GA-965P-DS3 motherboards that I bought the...

    Asus Xonar Soundcard Drivers!

    Ah, no problem. :) It doesn't affect L4D or HL2, just TF2. I know it's a typcial problem as other users have complained to Valve about it, but as an individual mentioned Valve indicated it was at the bottom of the priority stack. That was around a year ago though, and the problem has existed...

    What Does Intel's Partnership with TSMC Really Mean?

    Wow, guess I should have read that article! The thing is, the article I read had Intel themselves stating this deal began negotiations almost two years ago. I think Ars got a little speculation happy. :D

    EVGA GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked

    Exactly. Except that isn't the half of it, they also cut the memory bus width as well.

    EVGA GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked

    Hm, so if ignoring rebates... the GTS 250 1GB is $10 cheaper than a 9800GTX+ 512mb. That sounds good to me, and having a cheaper 512mb model is even better. Nice to know NVIDIA wasn't trying to rip off its customers on this one.

    Did you make your team by filling out their form? I would assume they would then give you a team number.

    Soccer Goalkeeper Predicts Opponent's Moves, Thanks to iPod

    Wow. Thanks for covering this one, I'm going to need to remember it. This sets precedent. :)

    What Does Intel's Partnership with TSMC Really Mean?

    I haven't read the Ars article, but my understanding is this is primarily done for two reasons. A) Additional supply should they need or wish it (Intel themselves sell 200M CPUs, and stated they plan to sell more Atom's than CPUs in the future) and B) so companies can expand the SoC design and...

    What's Coming to Windows 7 RC?

    I hope they fixed the locked folder/files problem... starting to frequently run into newly created files and folders that I can't move, modify, or delete because something (I presume windows search) has it open. Can close down all open folders and programs and it still remains locked for a short...

    Kindle 2 Text-to-Speech Feature Now Optional (to Publishers)

    I heard they were upset over this, but not that they were actively pushing Amazon over it. That's just the most stupid thing they could have done, and I don't see any reason for having done so. What do they gain from it? Are they seeking to sell an audiobook + ebook to the same customer? The...

    Looking for a new card, any suggestions?

    Fully agree, b1k1's GPU would give ya much better performance. ATI is cutting prices and introducing a new GPU that will be priced only a little or so more or so to replace the 4830, so there should be plenty of good deals out there when they release it. And as b1k1 said for that midrange...

    Just use the same exact user name. As long as you are the only person using that name on the specified team then the credit for completed WU's goes to you. Capitalization, spaces, etc need to be identical and most symbols won't work either. For example I'm the only "Kougar" on team 41608...

    EVGA GeForce GTX 285 SSC Edition

    It's just marketing spiel. Just as some memory is "made for SLI" or "made for ATI" (as some of OCZ's sticks are branded with) it doesn't really mean anything. A board could be made for Crossfire or SLI simply by placing the PCIe 16x slots in the most optimum positions for dual-slot cards. To...

    CUDA n-Body

    CUDA should see both GPU cores... the program using CUDA may not, and that is an important distinction. Folding@home uses CUDA and now is able to use both cores on a GX2 (which allows it to outfold a GTX 260). You would need to check with the seti client and forums and see if their program is...

    Everything's Amazing, Nobody's Happy

    I dunno... it might be worse in the sense you already finished the flight and can't wait to get off the plane, certainly. But the plane doesn't have time to heat up... before take off the air circulation sucks so not only is it hot, but the people on the plane smell, kids are screaming, and you...
