That... was freaking priceless!! :D I started laughing before he even crawled into the thing, and kept laughing all the way through... I love that one shot with the guy on the scooter turning his head and looking DOWN at him as he passed by it... Who needs an electric scooter, just give...

There isn't any magic number James, you would have to do testing on your own to see if the card is stable as you overclock it. You need to be very familiar with what you are doing before overclocking anything. :)

Heh, if you get rid of NAFTA then I'm sure you'll begin paying for import duties on some American goods. NAFTA is only the mechanism that makes it more profitable for them to export their oil than to sell it locally. Even without NAFTA you'd have to impose duties on oil exports to change that...

Hm, well then that is at least how it works in Great Britain, I assumed it was similar to Canada. The wait times certainly are. That is assuming there are any Docs that accept the uninsured, which is why the lines and waiting lists are generally so bad for those docs that do. As far as the...

The original PhysX special effects and physics was to much for a CPU to handle, especially with the graphics driver overhead it also had to compute for the game. About running ATI+NVIDIA GPUs at once... you can do this for Folding@home's GPU clients believe it or not. Users can fold on both a...

Aye, mostly frequency is just hype. DDR2-1067MHz is over rated because it requires you to drop the RAM timings, negating the gains you get. Honestly I'd just suggest these, they do 4-4-4-12 at 2.1v, and will overclock to 1,000Mhz at 5-5-5-15 using 2.1v. They will need decent case airflow to...

Rob, is why I said I gave up on RAM tuning... beyond the main settings, there is little else worthwhile. Except for tRD... this one has a huge performance impact, and involves the chipset more than the actual RAM. In reality it affects the chipset's internal clockspeeds in reference to the...

I found it :) Pretty impressive... thought it was the 4850, but is actually a 4870 tested. Thermalright makes some great coolers! They also give a small list of coolers they tried...

Well, it costs more to truck those items a few thousand miles north, I'm sure prices are going up on many American goods in Canada because of that especially? The more times a product changes hands, the more hands that want a slice of the final cut.... may not be much of a customs system in...

Well, exactly! MS would be in deep trouble if the OS market was easier to get into, and OS X wasn't limited to Apple computers. It probably also helps that OS X is beginning to develop legitimate security problems. This is not some theoretical proof of concept release, it's finally a real...

Hah, I am exactly the same way, even if it found the original topic to be very interesting. Is partly why I have so much trouble recalling exactly /where/ I read some specific news report or article. I think I remember where I found the original link though, so will see about finding that ATI...

I'm not following you. Looking at the reivew, the HP1 comes with the standard 3.5mm audio jacks, so as you said the laptop has these then there shouldn't be any problem? If you want 3.5mm jacks to USB adapters, they make all sorts... LINK

Spring water / distilled water cost the same here, so I didn't differentiate. I think it is 99 cents here on average... hard to find distilled because people empty entire shelves of it every 2-3 days. I've not seen a gallon of milk at $7 like Merlin mentioned, but typically the cheapest...

Gates was good at finding innovative companies and projects with good potential to buy up and swallow, and use his financial muscle to make them into bigger and better things. Considering Gates started it all this way with buying what became DOS outright, before turning around and launching MS...

Well, seeing the performance figures it looks like they didn't have to clock them higher. I don't have the link handy, but someone already mounted one of the good GPU coolers, supposedly dropped the temps almost by exactly half! 80 something to 40-45c range. Am sure the article is around...

Okay, I'll bite. How much is a gallon of distilled water up there, or litres or whatever unit y'all use? Or British gallons, etc. People complain about the gas prices, but seeing that a gallon of milk now costs more than a gallon of gas (even the premium stuff) made me stop and think twice...

Yeah, I do blame the tree huggers. Regardless of stance on drilling in the ANWR (I've seen photos of one particular area they wanted to drill, it's nothing like the pretty vistas ya typically see and was truly desolate), it would do substantially more than just a penny drop in prices. It'd give...

Hehe, things get missed all the time, I'm just a bit crazy and keeping a very close eye on all things Nehalem. I'd be the first to say I'm not always right, but I sure got it right with Conroe... looking to do so again. :) From all the leaked info I'm seeing, and especially Anandtech's...

Memset is good if the BIOS does not offer the RAM settings you are looking for. LINK I use it to verify timings and the tRD aka chipset strap/MCHBar, whatever ya want to call it. Honestly, RAM tuning takes a huge amount of effort for usually small gains, and some settings are hard to check...

Talk to the people ya ordered it from, for example Newegg has sometimes given people small price breaks off the original order price when it happens (but not very much). It's cheaper for them to give a little back than to deal with an RMA or two, which is what most people seem to do these days...
