Something I found over here: I am honestly not sure how to take this paragraph... any thoughts?

Don't inconvenience yourself on my behalf Rob! But if you have time to kill or something, I'm all eyes... ;) A PCIe 1.1 16x slot won't limit anything that I know of... unless perhaps some kind of ultra high-end SAS RAID card or something? I'm not aware of anything being limited by it, at...

Eh, clogged I can usually fix, but drivers are the primary reason I write off my Windows install. Right now my old Pentium 4 Northwood desktop was using XP SP2, it's been turned off for good because there are drivers blue screening the system a few seconds after it loads the desktop. Already...

I do assume Seagate sends back a refurb as well, I'd be amazed if they did not. I don't know though. Those FreeAgent models have become notorious for their ability to die exactly within a year or so... well within their warranty period, so I am sure Seagate is more than aware of it. They...

Do GPUs taste good? ;)

Yep, all the critical pins are in before that first notch. It is part of the PCIe specification, so it should work on any card rated for PCIe! I think Gigabyte more simply ran out of things to do excessively. Four "BIOSs", four Gigabit ethernet ports, four sets of three power phases, four...

Damn, I had just checked Newegg before posting, too! That was fast.

As I said, it could also be you many to many things plugged in. Tried unplugging everything, then trying the mouse&keyboard? The warning was implemented to help keep users from blowing out the USB fuses on the main board, once that goes the USB bus goes with it.

No, I was saying that they DO get 2,500 per wafer (I actually hadn't read the article, I'd read a different one already) so I found the fact that demand was so high that they STILL couldn't meet it to be very amusing. Leave it to Ars to address all relevant sides of the issue though, I should...

Yes. RMA service is as easy as anyone elses, but they send you old reconditioned refurbs that are warranted for a year or the life of the replaced drive, whichever is longer. I have owned Western Digitals, Seagates, one Maxtor, and two Hitachis. One Hitachi was a clicking Deathstar drive I...

So does Drivermax take images of the installed drivers, and replaces them upon reformatting? I thought the whole idea of a reformat was to not only remove old, unused drivers but to install fresh, newer ones...

I want to see GPGPU benchmark results from the 4870 and GTX 280... so I can compare them to Folding@home results! ATI has always claimed their card offers 1TFlop of performance, but it only delivers half the performance of a GTX 280 for Folding. Would be nice to see some more numbers beyond...

So... DX11 brings a sepia filter? :D

There was one site reporting 4Ghz was the clockspeed, claimed to have found a CPU-Z screenshot to prove it. I simply said I will believe it when I see it. But you know as well as I that AMD would need a 4GHz chip to make the FX attractive and win back the enthusiast space.

Merlin, I gotta agree with Rob in that I do not recommend that DD full body block. The only one I would suggest is the one I use right now in my sig. GPU Block: http://www.jab-tech.com/D-Tek-FuZion-GFX-2-pr-4206.html GPU Uni-sink...

Rob, don't forget about Intel's IDF, they were showing 4 or 8GB RAM modules in a Nehalem system there, populating all six slots thanks to MetaRAM... ;) Of course factoring the price by six means they cost more than my car, but oh well... still fun to see tomorrow's technology working today...

Hm, that is also very good proof that the shipping carrier would of had to really be trying to break your package in order to kill one of those power supplies just by shaking it. I had my PC P&C 750w Quad Silencer shipped to me in the standard white cardboard box they used to use to package...

Anyone (and quite a few people did) see this coming from a mile off... But I have to say it is just funny. Intel wouldn't get a hundred chips or so per wafer, but thousands. One quote was 2500 Atoms per wafer!

Maybe I remember wrong, but didn't one of the early betas for IE7 group the tabs above the address bar? They rather quickly did away with that, I thought. More info on Chrome available here...

The E7200 costs the same as the E5200 you list for NCIX... so I can't wait to see the US price on that E5200!
