Agreed, both on the slick design and the Wii name being ridiculous. ;) I just wish I could find a reason to justify nabbing the Extreme model. When I think about what else $1k can get you such as a 30" monitor, it drives me nuts that I can't get the urge out of my head. Hopefully that...

I guess this explains why the E7200 is only $120 shipped at the Egg right now.

I've been gone for a day, but as I was typing this up the machine froze again, so I guess I got my answer and the SATA cable wasn't it either. Memory tested fine, IRQ settings in the BIOS were pretty much useless though, doesn't tell you what IRQ is assigned to anything. It is designed to...

I am so glad the marketing department had the sense this time to not name it "Core i8", lest everyone assume it had 8 actual cores instead of 4 cores, 8 threads. Those icons look Vista themed...

Okay, those are good ideas. I've already been monitoring Task Manager though, the only programs I notice are those I usually run, Folding@home GPU and SMP clients. Opera seems to constantly use 1-8% of the CPU for whatever odd reason, but the issue occurs even with the GPU2 client and Opera...

That's so wrong... I'd go do the same thing myself, but I'm sure by now the copycats have already gotten there first. ;)

Alright, usually I don't make posts asking for help, but as y'all are pretty good guys and mostly all seem to be pro Vista, I could use a bit of help. I just installed Vista 64bit Ultimate onto the rig in my sig. All motherboard drivers, OS patches, and BIOS are updated and set specifically...

Ah, but haven't NVIDIA and ATI done exactly this for not just years, but the better part of a decade? TSMC is not a monopoly, even if they are the largest player in their respective market. UMC and a sprinkling of small players exist, although I wouldn't know what node UMC currently offers...

When CompUSA closed up shop, one of the last things they had on the shelf was a pile of blank HD-DVD media. Even after the 60% off discount it was not quite $1 per GB. HDD prices actually took a nose dive, $200 per 1TB isn't the case anymore. One can buy 750GB drives for under $100 now from...

Considering the pure glut of memory chips they have still piling up, I'm sure they love this idea just as much as you do. :D

Yeah, it does seem to be an unusually high number, but I do know people that buy them. As far as price... didn't it take well into the 90's before DVD prices dropped significantly? Around 10 years or some such. I don't even get excited about Blu Ray as a backup medium, it costs alot to...

Maybe this will finally get people to tone down the no overclocking FUD some less reputable sites thought it'd be great to cook up and speculate on.

That is exactly the sort of feedback I have been constantly hearing about 64bit Vista. And it is why I only recommend 64bit Vista if people want it over XP. I finally installed my first 64bit OS, got Vista up and running. I have to say... I have not found a single program that does not work...

Just read this article, different slant. Forget future sales forecasts, 1 in 5 DVDs sold is Blu Ray, supposedly. http://www.nordichardware.com/news,8004.html

For viable reasons, besides the memory issue, I'd point out that 64bit generally has better stability thanks to better drivers, occasionally better performance which will only increase as native 64bit apps are developed, and better security. Infact, much better security. Rather than write it...

CD Burner seems pretty good, giving it a try. My copy of Nero 7 doesn't work with SATA burners under XP, and will cause the most spectacular crash with Vista after install. You can't even uninstall it as that will also always cause the crash. I use WinRAR for all my archive and ISO needs. I...

I'm still a bit dubious of this. It would have been greatly to their advantage to make this info well known and publicize it... It would be a huge blow to ATI though, who's idea of GPGPU computing involves "close to the metal" assembly language, or BrookGPU. And funnily enough, BrookGPU is a...

I can't resist a double-post. I apologize if this is considered hijacking, since technically this section is for discussing TechGage articles... :D After reading TechGage's article I went over to Anandtech since I particularly enjoy Anand Lal Shrimpi's hardware & design dissection articles...

That sounds almost like you wish to image your drive, and then take that image and move it to a new computer. Keep in mind that you can't really backup programs. Just like with the OS they must be installed to function properly on a new or different computer. You can however backup settings...

Thank you! I had been wanting a program like this for awhile now, just to rule out ISP tampering with my line. I will definitely be learning and testing this...
