Those power figures included a PC Power & Cooling PSU (I use a different one now that draws less power thanks to better efficiency), and the computer itself. Screen and speakers are on different lines... I only measured from the plug going into the back of the PSU. Honestly I really should...

Left 4 Dead Crysis + Crysis Warhead Team Fortress 2 Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts Supreme Commander Forged Alliance My only peeve is L4D was an awesome concept but it felt like the only bugfixing done was during the demo. That game still has grevious bugs they would have caught early...

Jab-tech and Petra's usually have most watercooling kit, JT has the same price as Newegg for the MCP655. Not sure what GPU block you mentioned in your first post, but most blocks would let you change out the barbs, so you could replace them with barbs sized to fit your loop.

So the simple fact I prefer decent looking graphics for a $50 game means I don't care about the gameplay? You should take a look through my collection before you say such things. Not to mention keeping the argument civilized. That is perfectly fine, I wasn't intending for you to delve into...

Ah, I goofed. Sorry about that, I thought your first link was about net neutrality so I didn't click it. As I said above, I really don't see how they will be able to legally do this, even if they made abundantly clear all data routed through their portal isn't monitored or sifted through. If...

Very insightful to know, thanks for posting. I'm actually happy now with Office 2007, but it would be nice if OpenOffice was flourishing as well. Although to counterpoint, looking at the data no trends have really changed since 2000. The only thing I can notice is the launch of Office 2007...

Rob beat me to it... that was mostly my point, if you ONLY overclock to the 940's 2.93GHz speed then the additional power consumed used over ~4 years is not going to add up to the $266 price difference you pay upfront. ;) Most Intel CPUs will become extremely power hungry as you clock them...

I wasn't sure what the GT212 was supposed to be... is it really a replacement for the GT200 or just a comparable card? I'm not sure how a single GT212 is supposed to take on a GTX 295 let alone replace one... That's be great to see though! Anyone else going to bet the GT212 uses GDDR5...

Well it's generally polite to link to news you are referencing instead of having readers do their own research to find it. I'll try to find something but if I don't see it within a few minutes I'm not going to look further if I only have a passing interest. Especially as I mentioned that...

That's precisely my point... it's been two consoles since the N64, but I wouldn't know it looking at Wii's games. I'd expect those graphics to be on a GameCube, not a console released after the Gamecube. Obviously the Wii wasn't aimed at stellar graphics and instead focused on the gameplay, but...

I think most of us here are already strong proponents of internet neutrality. Things like the RIAA signing deals with ISPs for the ISP to police their own networks and cut off suspected filesharers is just another good reason network neutrality is needed. Could you please link to this news...

I never said it should be fully realistic, (those were very amusing links, thanks!) I said the graphics should have been better. And they more than anyone should of had the best looking games for the platform. The games it does have don't include high enough AA to make it look smooth. As the...

Hey Cobra. If you are sure you will be using that system for 4 years then you might enjoy the 940 more in the longer run. But otherwise I would just say save yourself the $, the 940 is not worth twice the price for a 266MHz speed bump. Especially since an extremely small overclock would net...

B1k1, that looks really good! I like that setup. If only that case fitted a 3x120 without needing to remove the top plastic bezel... and if they had reversed the bottom PSU mount.

Aye, but I don't think it can. The Wii's GPU is almost half the clockspeed, and has just 64MB of GDDR3 RAM linked to it. 88MB in total counting onboard and external memory. The Xbox 360 has 512mb of external RAM for the GPU plus slightly more onchip memory. The Wii's Hollywood chip has to be...

I've not used it but from the old articles I'd seen it's just a Second Life with lots of bugs and issues to be addressed., and maybe better graphics.

Well they need to redsign the entire card around the new spec, # of pins, pinouts, and specs are all different from GDDR3. Bit more analysis at Xbit I'm rather happier to see them putting it on midrange cards... considering what "midrange" means to NVIDIA, it guarantees any of the good cards...

In my reasearch I did find Intel has sold more than 10 million Quads... back in April. Which was when the Q6600 was ~$266+ and the cheapest quad around. With $180 quads like the Q8200 and Q6600 floating around now you know that figure has only exploded since then ;) It shouldn't be that...

Well, first they were a computer company, but that went south on them... then they started selling iPods and their entire company was supported by iPod sales, making them a media/music player company... Now as ya said they are just a cell phone company. There are some analysts that claim the...

Whoa... I'm looking at their stock right now... six months ago it was near $180. Right now it is $85. Knowing how much pure profit they are locked into receiving for the next two years... Well, technically they do. The Mac Pro uses the same Penryn Quad chip, just the more expensive Xeon...
