That's huge amounts of data to pool together... I wonder if they "reset" the statistics when new absolute numbers are released?

The good fan controllers accept both fan connectors and molex connectors, and don't require a VRM 4-wire fan. Most really high CFM fans are going to always be molex because the motherboard won't be able to feed them enough amps to run them, I've actually had this happen to me with my 3-pin...

Wow. It didn't look quite right for a Mii, but still... It'd be nice if Microsoft could actually invent something rather than using everyone else's ideas. :D

Those are closer to the results I remembered from the initial launch! The way it was explained to me was because of the huge memory bandwidth advantage ATI has... which only really comes into play at the absurdly high 30" resolution using AA+AF, and isn't enough to change the outcome for...

Well, since the Nintendo Wii launched in September 06... I'd say you look to be a little over two years old? :D

Its a novel idea. And I do wonder how they pulled it off, maybe some fancy design with high quality chips... either way I think this will remain nothing but a niche product. USB 3.0 will be here inside two years and offer the same speeds, at which point I would bet flash drive speeds will once...

Choas is right, either the internet would descend into chaos with everyone selling everything from used freeware to used copies of photoshop and windows, or more likely the RIAA will latch onto this and not let go until it's well and truly dead. I'm only guessing, but maybe when you "add"...

Rob, you don't have a fan controller? Or rather a spare one? I own a Vantec model something or other, it didn't have any trouble handling a 152CFM Delta screamer. Although the fan still growled like an engine even at the lowest setting. I don't use them except when goofing around due to the...

You would see better performance using 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 settings than you would using 1066Mhz 7-7-7-24 settings. Generally I'd say leave it at 800MHz 4-4-4-12, or overclock the RAM but leave the timings at 4-4-4-12. If you really want 1066Mhz then 5-5-5-15 is the most you would want.

When speaking about RAID I was trying to use it as an analogy, I'm sure the actual memory chips and channel controller don't RAID things, they just use a process and physical design using the same underlying principles. After seeing the guts of a X25-E I don't believe there would be room in...

FM121 fans I have put out 110CFM. They are audible, maybe loud, but they don't scream. Most of the noise was the airflow, with just a faint growl underneath. After awhile the noise eventually got on my nerves though... I don't want to even know my PC is turned on by sound alone, I prefer it...

If that doesn't galvanize MS into actually putting effort into making their OS's what they should/need to be, I don't think anything will. Their market share hasn't been that low since Windows 3.11... both OS X and Linux are gaining nicely.

Boyscout, technically yes you CAN install longer length PSU's into that case, I've done so. But after the cursing and bleeding from scrapped knuckles was over, I don't suggest trying. In the very least you will need to reverse mount the 120m fan on the OTHER side of the partition so cables don't...

I don't either, but I suspect they follow the industry trend on that. Either way I was indirectly stating I'd be rather annoyed if I bought a "new" item on ebay and it turned out to be a refurb, to put it mildy. ;)

Hehe, that was kind of my point. We weren't even remotely near the 300MB/s spec, then suddenly Intel launches X-25 and now we're pretty close to it. From what I've heard Intel plans price discounts and newer, faster models next Q1... I don't know anything about how the channels "hook" into...

Well, Shanghai was the chip Barcelona should have been.. If it had launched back then It'd still be 2.7GHz verses 3.0Ghz, something AMD is competitive with especially due to those FB-DIMMs. Instead AMD launched a year later so instead of being able to roll out 3GHz Shanghai chips against...

Everybody has their own strong views on AV... is why after I heard about it I now use http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02 for my comparisons. That might give ya some ideas to work with, I think how they present the data is perfect.

It's a substantial improvement, but it still isn't clock-for-clock comparable to Nehalem. If the desktop prices and clockspeeds are right, it could be a good match against Penryn chips though. I've heard of some specs/prices, but nothing official yet. The Tech Report has the scoop on...

Dunno, but I still find it highly amusing that a CPU can out render Intel's IGP by a fair margin. Would wonder how threaded the application was, it might not be running eight threads. Interesting idea though... could build a quadcore laptop without any kind of GPU? Although it kind of defeats...

I agree, that PSU will power a single 4870 just fine. To answer your original question, most games will play fine with just a single GPU. Far Cry 2 might be a different story though.
