I just read that GM is stopping production of the H1 series of the civilian Hummer. That car had 10 miles to the gallon. Geeze, how can anyone drive that except for the extremely rich and/or stupid? I've been walking a lot more to places. My grocery store is about a 15 minute walk from my place.

I managed to overclock my AMD 3700 to 2.4 gigs. I had it up to 2.6 but it kept freezing after 30 minutes or so of gameplay. The temps reached up to only 45c at that speed. The voltage was at 1.44. I'm guessing it's my memory, since it's just a pair of crucial micron pc 2700's 2x512. Well, I...

Last year, people were spending over $1000 for an Xbox 360. I don't know how well Sony's PS3 will do. If they are planning to ship 2 million to the US on launch day, I'm not sure the demand will be as high as the 360. Not only do we have more systems to sell, which I believe is double the amount...

Man I just got my 64 bit processor... I'll probably wait for it to drop in price.

You better reserve the day retailers start accepting reservations. I reserved my XBox 360 3 days after they started accepting reservations, and I didn't get mine until after Christmas just when the ridculously high prices fell to an amount I wasn't satisfied with (after ebay+paypal fees, i would...

Ok recently got a Zalman 7000-CU for my processor. When I removed my old heatsink and fan, I noticed there was a small chip in the silver/metal coating on my processor. Is that ok? I decided to put on the Zalman anyway despite the small chip in my processor. Put the Arctic Silver 5 on as...

I actually have a PCI fan that I can probably use to help exhaust some of the heat. But I'm too lazy to open up my old computer, and my new computer and switch it at the moment. Quick question, if you want to monitor your fan speed settings, do you do that in BIOS? Or is there a seperate...

The only gripe I have with this fan, is the fact that it exhausts into my system instead of out the end like my old fan/heatsink. But it's ok, it only raised my mobo temps about 2c. Plus it's hot in my room. Two small windows, two computers all cramped in a small space with carpet, and the AC is...

I just saw United 93 at the theaters today. In case you don't know what United 93 is, it is a film about United 93 during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I have to say, it was a great film. But I do question the director's (Paul Greengrass, he's actually one of my favorite movie directors)...

OK just installed the zalman fan and heatsink, and it's working like a charm. Right now at idle, my temps are 46c idle, 56c load clocked at 478/1254. No grinding noise, in fact the only noise I can hear right now is my cpu fan, which I will be replacing soon. I noticed a marginal increase in...

I got myself a Zalman VF700 or something. Installed it with a breeze, hopefully I didn't damage it somehow or something. I couldn't get all of the thermal grease off before putting on some artic silver 5, but I got about 85-90% off. Haven't tested it yet, cause I'm waiting about 24 hours for the...

Well, after experiencing the weird grinding like noise from my graphics card when OC'd, I decided to get a better fan/heatsink for my card. The noise almost sounds like a harddrive working at full load. So I'm guessing it's the fan that's causing the problem. Right now I'm running at stock...

I think we, as the consumers, are gonna get it rough in the upcoming years. Oil is a huge foundation in our societies. We have an infrastructure that took us about a century to develop. It's going to cost us a lot of time, effort, and money to make a transition from crude oil to an alternative...

I don't care what anyone says, I'm excited about the Nintendo Wii. In fact, I'm un-be'wii'veably excited.

Right now I have it clocked at 450/1240. See how long that lasts. In the mean time I'm gonna look into some coolers.

Ok, after turning on the comp today, I started to hear a weird grinding noise. I opened up the case and listened carefully. It turns out to be my graphics card fan. I unplugged it and turned it on, and I didn't hear the noise. When I plugged it back in, the noise started again. When I dropped...

I still have a soft spot for Nintendo. I grew up on Mario and Zelda, and Contra. Ubisoft is actually developing a 'Wii' exclusive (I think) game called Red Steel. It looks awesome. http://gonintendo.com/?p=1920 Oh my goodness, Nintendo actually licensing a third party game developer...

So does this mean anyone who has an Xbox 360 now, has officially been screwed by Microsoft?

$3.28 for premium in Baltimore MD. I spend about $35 to fill my car up.

I guess I can't unlock the other pipes. In the HW Masked column, there is no 'yes' but a bunch of N/A. Oh well, the card runs great for the price I paid for it. It should suit me well until I save up for a 7900GT or GTX.
