Are you kidding me? A fast hard drive runs around the 3,500 mark. A 1st Gen 80GB X25M scores 16,000.... I wonder if the write speeds are behind the huge score difference.

H55 sockets? I was under the assumption that P57/H57 whatever 57 chipset it is still uses the LGA1156 socket or am I wrong? The damage is done though, Foxconn has already begun making a new "revision" of their socket, but many manufacturers have switched to LOTES or Tyco AMP. The limited...

Yes, and what is hilarious is if you listen to Luke Wilson's words (In the postcard commercials) he is only talking about general cellular coverage.... not 3G. Verizon was only talking about 3G, and they had a good point about who had better coverage area with it. They neatly sidestepped the...

Well, since this is the thread for it, I stumbled upon this yesterday: http://www.nordichardware.com/news,10363.html For some reason I'm not that confident those will be SATA 3.0 yet, but will have to see...

You know, it is going to be just a bit weird to have more CPU cores than GB's of RAM... Even with a Core i7 6GB of RAM is still overkill. It seems so amusing to remember being happy with 1GB of RAM on a Pentium 4 with today's systems. :D

Aye, what Rob said. I have an original 8800GTS 320mb, the first DX10 card and Windows 7 still says it has DX11 installed. As Rob said the software only looks at the libraries installed. If you remember most NVIDIA cards do not support DX 10.1. As DirectX 11 is a superset of DirectX 10.1, all...

Well, interestingly the concept appears to still be going strong. Intel hasn't killed the idea, just the current planned launch of anything. It looks like they will wait until they can shrink the chip and add still more cores to it... What's being hypothesized is that its current form just...

Safe my ass, after reading Wired's hunt for their missing editor event it's not safe at all. Which makes for a great read if not heard about yet.... I will say it's rather scary how you give them zero information, yet Facebook manages to find certain people as friend recommendations, I still...

Well, it is not mentioned in that article, but other factors affect GPU computing performance tremendously... Single-precision versus Double-precision calculations being a huge one. Which calculation changes who has the "lead" just as much as whether OpenCL, DirectCompute, CUDA, or Brook was...

That is the question though. There are quite a few reports of users not getting contact and having some of their memory channels not working right. A few didn't even get a POST until they reseated their CPU. I believe this is only one symptom of a larger issue with Foxconn's sockets, namely they...

I agree completely, the entire thing was ridiculous. But a very smart move by Verizon, because just about everyone knows of that single commercial now. AT&T played right into their hands. ;)

In Windows 7 either deleting a file or performing a format would invoke TRIM, but deleting a partition won't. So installing the OS on an already formated and dirty drive will not TRIM the drive, just what areas were written to. It would be interesting to know what situations would invoke TRIM...

Kawika, have you installed the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website for your graphics card? Without them you will not get GPU acceleration for your Blu Ray movies. The Pentium 4 should be capable of playing most Blu-Ray titles with the 9400GT doing the brunt of the work, by itself it will not be...

Nope, NVIDIA does not yet make any DX11 capable cards. You would have to run the game in DX10 mode with a 9600GT.

I'm more excited over the superb overclockability that 32nm silicon offers... otherwise it'd be so easy to just wait one more year. :p Article was pulled, by the way.

Hmm, nobody has any tales to tell for this year? Nobody found any deals especially good? ;) Found an Acer 22" widescreen for $99, no tax... got it for my father, although now I wish I'd gotten myself one after seeing what that model usually goes for. An hour after the store opened they still...

It's NVIDIA... they won't discuss the next-gen stuff until it's already here, it's just how they work. :p

That's what the Wii owners I know have also said... just no titles or games that have their interest... now they spend their free time gaming on their Xbox's almost exclusively instead.

Might as well wait for Core i9 Rob, you'll probably want it. Even if not there will be new Core i7 models launching with it, get some higher binned parts at todays prices too. Core i7 960, and supposedly something to replace the 920 finally...

Hm, so it does test in OpenCL then? I was wondering, just about anything else would favor one of the makers more than the other... then again there's the DirectX11 compute function too now as well although I'm not clear on how that plays into it.
