Well then, that might have something to do with it. Plenty has been changed since the initial beta build... I guess I will find out for sure once the RC1 build goes live. I will have to check out that site!

Okay, I hate to drag this one out but all "UD#" boards feature the UD3 "spec", eg all-solid cap and two extra ounces of copper. Both boards use solid-caps, just one uses blue and other uses purple... I've observed this on past Gigabyte boards. Don't worry about it, I'll just assume the...

Amazing how time flies... ;)

Windows 7 was based off the Windows Server 2008 codebase, but even MS detailed how careful they were to guarantee driver compatibility this time around. Considering the old ASUS drivers "functionally" worked even if the control panel mostly didn't, but the latest drivers are the exact opposite...

I am not sure about the driver support issue this time around? Both ATI and NVIDIA offer WHQL drivers for Windows 7 beta... it took both companies months to do so after Vista launched! In their own words NVIDIA is planning to merge the driver codebase with Vista's when they release a new WHQL...

Yeah, I would expect anything with Vista to have sucky battery life. It has been well documented Vista has almost exactly half the battery life of OS X when performing identical tasks on the exact same MacBook Pro. I don't understand if this is a different test or what, but according to...

Greg, yes I agree they still need to back it up to something. That holds true of WHS or anything else though! Rob, backtrack away, the earlier posts in a thread tend to be more interesting anyway! After awhile I just end up dragging the thread out... ;) Have you ever tried a QNAP product...

Yes, I also have a four year old laptop drive that's seen more use than not. But I think almost any tech head has one or three 10-40GB desktop drives that are almost a decade old and refuse to die. I have a bunch of drives from various manufacturers that are somewhere around or just past the 5...

Thanks Rob! I didn't mention it earlier but I definitely agree with the both of y'all... price on the HD 4890 is a bit to high regardless of that rebate. I just saw this, thought I'd mention it in warning here: http://legitreviews.com/article/946/1/

I'll double post as I had completely forgotten about the Dell Studio 16. This laptop is new in that it uses RGB LEDs, and in doing so achieves 118% on the Gamutvision AdobeRGB scale test. Well known monitors like the 2408WFP, 2707WFP, 3007WFP scored a 104%, 95%, and 75% respectively. Rather...

Just an update: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ March results now include users with >2GB of RAM, includes WIndows 7 users, and is more detailed on hard drive info. Pretty much everything we wanted! ;) I find it amusing there are already more people using Windows 7 than Windows...

That's the same price as Vista Home Premium OEM. The retail version is only $20 more, sometimes drops to less though. Had no idea PP2 even existed yet. Still in beta?

Howdy Rob, Just a quick note there isn't any mention of the actual test settings used in the overclock chart / page! That one chart makes for a pretty good snapshot of where things stand, great to see it in there. Nice review. :)

I'm sort of glad I'm not interested. TWC is going to impose a 40GB a month limit on this account starting this August... the sucky part is FiOS is select areas near here but not actually here, and the only viable alternative seems to be AT&T's Uverse which frankly I'd prefer to avoid even if it...

Oh my god, they actually released new drivers?? I'll install these right now... Not been having issues with GX mode as of late, I think I forget about that and left it on for the past two months. Now if only they'd release an actual Windows 7 driver... :) First Edit: Yes, same install...

Well, if a WHS box still requires RAID then I really don't see it being a cheaper option than many NAS's already out there! I haven't used WHS so I can't honestly compare it to QNAP's configurability, but so far every setting I've wanted or needed has been easily available. WHS would have to...

I'm not sure I like the idea? If well treated a desktop drive should last about five years, often more.... what is the average lifespan of a laptop drive?? 320GB laptop drive costs the same as a 1TB desktop drive, so its still not the best value. This reason alone is probably what kills the...

Barely playing anything here. I was playing some Iron Grip Warlords (Definitely not worth the asking price... just unbelievable) but I'm done with it now, and L4D. Thinking about the new CoH Tales of Valor pack that's coming out in a week, and going nuts waiting for the new L4D downloadable...

I went through Anandtech's article on those... it was everything I was expecting it to be, a total blowout. The bright side is that AMD's 2.9GHz 2389 is priced the same as Intel's 2.6Ghz X5550. In effect this is AMD's highest server model against Intel's lowest "X" server model. The cheaper E...

From reading y'alls post, are ya saying WHS replaces the need for any kind of RAID hardware, and actually manages this in software? It'd be interesting to see a comparison with a complete SFF file server build using WFS compared to a NAS like the TS-409... It's only $400, and WHS by itself...
