    Intel Reveals Westmere 32nm Roadmap

    Don't forget Intel closed down two old US fabs, one in Cali and the other a wafer facility in Oregon last month. Those aren't all going to be new jobs, although I'm certainly happy to see them put here versus elsewhere. Are you completely sure about this? Westmere is NOT quadcore... it is...

    EVGA's GPU Voltage Tuner Tool Released

    It's a solid program. For those that own EVGA cards it is much quicker to use and test with than the complex Rivatuner alternative, and should allow for a wider supported range of EVGA cards. Voltage is "limited" to 1.288v on my EVGA SuperClocked GTX 260. Program advertises support for...

    Is Microsoft Rushing Windows 7?

    It is based directly off of Windows Server 2008, which from what I've heard was a significantly cleaned up and actually performance tuned source of Vista. :p Yeah. That is probably why W7 is a client-side port of what will become Windows Server 2008 "R2". They are just going to call it...

    Can't find where to overclock my CPU

    I'd suggest you do some googling as there are tons of general OC guides out there. After that google your motherboard model for specific information on overclocking your own motherboard... tips, tricks, and BIOS screenies along with guides from other users overclocking similar or identical...

    Is Microsoft Rushing Windows 7?

    Yeah, I'll go ahead and chime in since that comment is offensive. Considering that you think Vista is a good OS, I guess I can't take that too seriously. Has it been that long since you used XP b1k1? Have you ever even used Vista on a laptop before, then compared it to a laptop using XP? Then...

    Audio issues with S/PDIF passthrough on NVIDIA GTX 260 / 280

    Yes, but you said this: So it sounds like a software issue, perhaps DRM. It doesn't matter if you use a TV or a monitor, DRM requires a protected path for movie playback. That is why the GPU has the SPDIF port to begin with, to maintain a protected path. Now if you have no sound...

    Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200

    It should work. There should be enough room to overclock, but don't expect any massive clocks. I'd recommend just a moderate OC, something around 3Ghz. :)

    Is Microsoft Rushing Windows 7?

    Almost every manufacturer offers Windows 7 compatible AV and antispyware programs. Some are beta and some aren't... just find your favorite AV program and dig a little. :)

    Audio issues with S/PDIF passthrough on NVIDIA GTX 260 / 280

    To be honest, it's all just silly. It never had to be an issue except they wanted to ensure DRM caused problems for legit users. It sounds like some part of the "secure path" built by the DRM is broken or not coming together correctly. Unfortunately I think XFX's tech support would be the...

    Have Simpler Product Lines Lead to Apple's Success?

    Yeah, I can agree with that. There's been a population explosion of Macs on campus (same with Dells)... for roughly every 13 laptops I see, 5 are Dells, 4 are Macs, 2 are netbooks, 1 is an HP/Toshiba, and 1 is an older junk Gateway from the previous years UTSA had a special deal with Gateway...

    Microsoft Officially Announces Windows 7 Editions

    Ah. I wasn't sure as I always paste by Ctrl-V... and that doesn't work for a command prompt window. I just tested it out on XP and XP does allow pasting via mouse. Something I never knew but could've used! The command prompt window is unchanged in Windows 7 as far as I can tell. Which is odd...

    Zune Survives 2008, Might See 2010

    Legal, licensing, and logistical issues I think? I am not entirely sure, except that they ran into huge problems from something. With music, legalities and licensing IS the problem. Amazon or MS wouldn't have the legal right to sell the same song in Canada without first licensing (and...

    Digital Transition Could be Pushed Back Until June 12

    Yeah, the bill was really stupid. Instead of one massive switchover, now we have stations that switched, stations that didn't, and stations that will switch whenever they want before the deadline. How is that supposed to NOT confuse the supposedly already confused viewer? The date I saw for...

    Charter Offers 60Mbps Cable Internet Service

    Hey, I didn't say that! That's Moon's quote you used ;) Wow... I think that exact model was my last modem, believe it or not. Either that or I had the PCX2500. It looks identical as well. I found this thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8829913 which seems to confirm most ISPs...

    Is Microsoft Rushing Windows 7?

    Hehe, thanks for the mention! I'm very curious what they'll do with the taskbar in the RC build, but its nothing a little tweaking can't fix! Otherwise I'm still quite happy with it. I'm just hoping they get the RTM build finalized before my TechNet subscription expires... ;) Something a bit...

    HAF mod Water Cooling

    IntelBurn will net you roughly 10-15c higher CPU temps, and FurMark does likewise for the GPU. Regardless those are some very nice temps. :) Ya really need either a black or another LED fan though, that Noctua fan sticks out like a sore thumb against all that black! I like how your system is...

    Despite iTunes Dominance, Record Companies Not Too Pleased

    All I can say is, I'm glad Apple is at least fighting the music industry. I think there is plenty of room for competition if other online distributors were allowed to offer DRM-free music in as-good, higher quality, or even lossless quality formats. There is plenty of rare or hard to find...

    Zune Survives 2008, Might See 2010

    It took Newegg years to become available in Canada AFTER their original planned date. It might take awhile for others to follow suit.. :(
