Board would be nice for a full passive PC though.

Just ask anyone with one of those older notebooks with the memory soldered on how good of an idea this is. Really stupid unless you don't plan on stressing it out since if you kill one IC then you need to RMA your board.

I see a rash of lawsuits for "things" being inserted into it that it was never designed to handle.........

I know one thing. Don't expect Intel to price cut if AMD is not releasing anything. They don't need to and they won't. Besides, that $266 price you see floating around on the web is the price OEM's will pay per 1000 units, not the retail price. As far as that article, it really says little...

Vista has no decent SLI drivers, and SLI GTX's is not gonna increase your in game performance. As for the ram, get 2X1GB anyways, accept the fact that it will only recognize 1.5GB or so of it for now and you'll be fine when you upgrade to 64-bit.

If you want to work for yourself, then yes you need to buy one.

I bought a super cheap generic case with a 240mm fan on the side panel without all that ugly crap and windows. As for OCZ, nice way to take advatage of the competition, buy them and enjoy their profits as well! (Not meant to be a slam).

AMD had nothing to do with the ATI fiasco of the 2900XT since it was already well into development when AMD bought them. As for BArcelona, we have to wait and see. I would never give the inquirer ANY weight when it comes to reporting the truth. It also remains to be seen if Intel actually...

Actually, don't they make Ferrari LCD's and Laptops? (I'm not joking...) http://www.ncix.com/search/?q=ferrari&minprice=Min.+Price&maxprice=Max.+Price A whole page of ACER Ferrari products......... If anything, a Corvette laptop could actually be cool if it was a nasty fast gaming machine.

A Porsche Cayenne S is a Twin Turbo 450HP V8 AWD monster that ANY Porsche owner would be pround to drive (in the winter especially). That abomination that is in that picture of the "Corvette Sedan" looks like an Impala with a Corvette logo and that they are just cashing in the name. Maybe if...

For speed, I'd get 2 250GB 7200.10 Seagate drives and run them in RAID 0. Then I would get 1 500GB 7200.10 Seagate and use that to store anything and everything important. That would give you 1TB and the best of both worlds for pure speed and data safety.

To me, it makes no sense at all to have 1TB in a RAID 0 since that is an ASSLOAD of data lose if something goes wrong. In a RAID 1 that would be a nice way to run it for data safety. I would personally run the 750GB drive if you are looking for maximum capacity and data safety.

LOL! Cheverolet must be getting mighty desperate for something high performance other than the Vette to humiliate the name this way. That is absolutely dreadful and would cause me to never buy another GM product again if they did it.........

The 7200.10 Seagate drives all use Perpendicular technology, no matter what GB they hold.

That's interesting. I built a system with the BX2 and no matter what I did it wouldn't recognize that damn SATA drive for installing Windows. I must have overlooked something. Good info to know. And yes DS, I agree that Raptors make no sense. The new Seagate drives with Perpendicular...

Once you are IN Windows there are no special drivers. Getting a BIOS to recognize a SATA DVD drive before you install any OS is a whole other story. If the BIOS doesn't see it as a DVD drive, you can't use it to install anything.

Last PC I built from scratch using the SATA DVD drives had trouble finding the DVD to install. I ended up having to use an IDE drive to install, then just used the SATA afterwards.

If you're lucky you could get $40-50 for it shipped. They are pretty slow cards in the grand scheme of things.
