Who says you need to be an audiphile to enjoy the $80 Xonar DX? I am so loving this card, don't need a high-end speaker setup to hear the difference between it and HD Azalia. I'd vote for option three, the Xonar DX. Probably doesn't help ya though, sry. :p

Just wow. IF the hardware is even close to delivering, then this is going to be the future. No doubt about it, fully programable super-computing cards. GPUs, got people's attention with their supercomputing ability for specialized tasks. NVIDIA's CUDA especially, after it went from...

Have you installed the chipset and graphics drivers? It almost sounds like the system is missing the hardware drivers.

Actually, I did wonder!! I came to the conclusion they hadn't.

Yeah, they do have a good selection for computer hardware itself, the best really. Can't fault that. I've had problems with it. Using ATI Tool temps hit 104c before I quickly killed the program in a panic. I have not found an explanation I am happy with yet for this... fan speed is default...

Hate to say this Merlin, but the 55nm refresh will be coming out either this month or the next, as soon as NVIDIA can get it out the door. I did buy a EVGA 260 myself though, but I could not resist the special price it was at. ---- Something I just discovered with my new GTX 260: NVIDIA is...

Actually, I think Newegg's selection isn't so hot. They expanded their watercooling section, but it simple fails for any real watercooling enthusiast. They are also highly brand oriented... For example you will never find anything by Noctua there. They simply do not carry any Noctua hardware at...

You should have seen Ars Technica's post on Cuil. They searched for their own website using "Ars Technica", no quotes. They got zero results. Cuil later fixed it. I ran a search for "HD 4850 fanspeed control" or some such, without quotes... Cuil returned a single result to Toms Hardware that...

And what exactly are they going to switch to? VIA's Nano platform? That won't cut it for standard size laptops anymore where users expect full performance. AMD? Their chips eat more power than Intel's... but on the flipside they offer one of the most powerful IGPs, so I guess that is...

When looking at the entire platform, the power differences are surprisingly minor, one site had a difference of 12 watts under load between 1.6Ghz Atom and a 1.8GHz Nano. Considering the VIA platform uses PCIe and Atom does not, that alone is probably going to break many buyer's interest in low...

I wonder how good their shipping will be? I only mention it because I'm getting annoyed at waiting a full week for anything I order to show up, Newegg is famous for their quick shipping, unless ya live in Texas. They ship to Texas from California, so "3 business day" shipping turns into 5 days...

Interesting, thanks for the informative post Rory. :)

I'm not entirely sure where they get this info... but these ARE the numbers I keep reading about and everyone seems to be using. http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=8 Rather interesting site... Was close, only 0.73% of users using Opera, darn it...

That looks great.... I really like the lighting on the CPU block!

My poor computer is undergoing therapy for induced feelings of inadequacy. I hope you're happy. :D

I don't remember where I read it but it was stated Linux was only around .08% market share, Apple was significantly higher and growing quickly thanks to their brisk sales. So in effect there is roughly the same percentage of Linux users as there are Opera users... :D I had my fun with linux...

Well, there is something I recently found out that was of some surprise to me. AMD didn't design K6 or even much of K7. Nexgen had already developed K6 and AMD simply came along and bought them out, and gave the Nexgen team room and funding for part of a year to fully complete and launch it...

The 8600 is not that good of a GPU, don't let the 512mb video ram fool ya. I don't know much about AU prices but it doesn't seem like a bad price though? I would recommend 8800 anything or 9600 cards, even the ATI HD 3850/3870 would be better than the Nvidia 8600. For just video files it...

Hm, no idea as I am back to using XP SP3, but you may have to enable it to get wave out to work? You might try: this link

Apple isn't in the market to sell OS's. They are in the market to sell their premium, name-brand computer, and they only offer their OS separately to upgrade those machines. I can understand why they do this, because they're out there to reap a huge profit and this furthers that goal...
