    $399 LEOPARD OS X COMPUTER, but for HOW LONG?

    Have you guys seen the latest rounds of commercials from Mac? They are really getting nasty and petty. I love how Microsoft doesn't even answer their hate ads at all yet Mac seems to NEED to keep putting out theirs.

    Upgrade ideas....

    I got rid of my QX9650 and downgraded to the E3110. Didn't even notice the loss of 2 cores. Quads are highly over-rated and completely under-utilized. Noone except a professional needs a Quad. Noone.

    Holy crap! New Xonar DX 5.0 for $89!!

    Nvidia needs to stop producing chipsets with so many issues. It is hardly worth buying them when they all seem to conflict with something in a major way. 680i that hated quads and won't work with 45nm. 780i a 680i rehash. Now 790i having an issue like that. Nvidia really needs to start...

    Auzentech X-Fi Prelude

    The cards do not physically support it, it is done in drivers and software. Creative cards could do this but they choose not to. Honestly, I would avoid anything build with Creative parts since I find C-Media based cards are far better at everything that matters in the real world. Most...

    Not bad speeds

    I'd be screwed if I had to rely on DSL since I pulled the wired off my house for the phone and cut it back at the pole. I HATE bell and their ridiculous price gouging/customer screwing tactics so much that I went nuts in a semi-drunken rage. They came to my house to complain that I had hurt...

    $400 PS3 SKU Rumored for Holidays

    Unfortunately, people are morons. They expect everything for nothing and they always assume that they are getting more for their money than they deserve. I do not feel sorry for ignorant people that don't take even the basic amount of time to research what they are buying.

    Worse performance on an overclock?

    The whole thing is the absolute "need" people have to get 4GHz+ out of these CPU's. They expect something magical to happen and for everything to run perfectly when anything over 3Ghz is basically wasted speed. It is fun doing it, but pushing 1.7V through a 45nm CPU just to show how badass you...

    $400 PS3 SKU Rumored for Holidays

    I know for me that any sort of emulation was not even part of my purchase thoughts since I already have the latest version PS2 that my kids use. For me, my PS3 was mainly for my use and Blu-Ray abilities.

    $400 PS3 SKU Rumored for Holidays

    I never liked emulators, they never seem to perform even decent.

    $400 PS3 SKU Rumored for Holidays

    PS: http://www.gamersreports.com/article/43/ That is what I plan on doing to fix my PS3's small storage issue.

    $400 PS3 SKU Rumored for Holidays

    I have only one thing to say. Gran Turismo 5 That will drive sales up. That game has a cult following. I also got my PS3 for $300 on Ebay with the Spiderman movie. 40GB FTW!!!

    Worse performance on an overclock?

    It's not the temps that cause the problem. It is electrical migration and it is shown all over the web that over 1.4V on these 45nm CPU's is like Russian Roulette. I also feel that program is not only far too optimistic with temperature readings, but E8400's temp to not read properly at all...

    Creative: Doing Little to Please Consumers

    Intel chipsets have been far more incompatible the last few series of CPU releases.

    Creative: Doing Little to Please Consumers

    PS: people hate when "unregisted" posters like yourself come in with a major attitude when they do not have the courage to register and put their credibility on the line.

    Creative: Doing Little to Please Consumers

    I was not under the impression that Creative ever wrote an effective driver set to begin with so I fail to see your bitter argument to the otherwise. Creative has been overcharging for their products and providing poor support for their products for years and it is only because of their virtual...

    And thank you for that quote Mr. unregistered Creative labs employee.......

    Worse performance on an overclock?

    Yeah, anything over 1.4V for 24/7 use is WAY too much. These CPU's cannot handle the voltage like the 65nm cousins.

    The really funny thing is that you would honestly expect the babyface's to win. Amazingly enough it is the rough look that is so far ahead, LOL!!!!

    EA To Cease Madden 2009 PC Release

    PC gaming will never die, but you will see less and less titles for the PC as consoles are far better at some games. Sports games are a perfect example. Driving games are 50/50 but RPG and the like are always going to be superior on the PC.
