My cell is part of a family plan, ~$40 is about what my phone individually costs per month and I have more minutes than I can ever use due to rollover now. We had the exact same problem with AT&T. When we moved here they were just finishing stringing a new telephone line and left it laying...

Nope. I would only use the phone's full features if I had an unlimited data plan, and I am not interested in paying $100 for month for one after I already find or buy an unlocked $200+ 3G phone. I am happy enough with my Motorolla RAZR, it gets the job done and is convenient to use, and...

I have used OS X and didn't actually mind it once I figured out the keyboard shortcuts are mostly identical anyway despite the different keyboard! After that getting used to how the menu bar works, and I quickly got comfortable with the interface. Although I'd have to be quick to quell the urge...

Actually that shows up as Chinese or Japanese characters, I don't remember how to distinguish them apart. But yes it is more spam. If you use "crashes" to determine if the system is stable, who knows how many errors, corrupted files, and other problems you are making as the OS calculates...

Please, please don't get me ranting on Vista. If there is anything that can get me incensed it is dicussing Vista and the grief I deal with daily from it. This will be the second time I've gone from XP to Vista, then switched back because of problems galore, SP1 did absolutely nothing except...

It can be, but mainboard makers have their choice as to how they want to split it too.

I was skeptical until I saw one surfing the web, then I realized someone had actually done it and made a "useable" phone. I just missed out on the little tiny keypad craze, so onscreen typing wouldn't bother me in fact I'd probably prefer it. My question would be, aren't iPhone users locked...

Those OCZ RAM sinks look nice, however that product page says they are EOL'd, and the only place I found them was Petra's... where they were listed as discontinued. Tech-Daddy, I hope that works out! The only thing I'll say is that I gotta get myself one of those acrylic benders, looks...

Well, if you don't mind the limited color selection you can always visit your local hardware store that carries pond chemicals... I found an 8oz sized bottle of pond coloring for under $5, rated safe for fish, pumps, etc etc. Just to give you an idea of the concentration of this stuff, just...

Chips are the same. However the quality of that chip is slightly better as the price / speed goes up... It's called binning, the best quality chips are the most expensive ones, and so down the line. It does not amount to very much though, some of the lowest bin chips can still out-overclock...

Noctua makes several good fans, the S12 and P12. I was close to buying the newer P12, but I'm holding off for now. They don't cost $34 though...?

Claiming Intel took the Q9450 off the market because people bought it to overclock is just silly. Intel is launching new Quad Penryn parts... just as they've been doing before with their other chips. E4500 replaced E4400, E4600 replaced E4500, and E4700 replaced that one. They all launched at...

This is exactly why I watercool. Push the envelope a bit fo fun and a nice performance boost, but still without sacrificing silence. :)

Anand is back with another pre-launch quickbench session, this time with Nehalem instead of Conroe. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel/showdoc.aspx?i=3326 So far it's followed my performance expectations nicely, but one thing I completely got wrong was the power... their test sample...

What Merlin said, your monitor likely isn't designed to operate with a 75Hz refresh rate. The vast majority of LCDs only operate at 60Hz.

Cubase SX claims to support 4 processors just fine. I don't know how much of load it generates, but it does support quadcore CPUs. Games don't really take advantage of more than 2 cores yet however. Does your encoding take a long time to process? If so then a Quad should outperform a...

If that means it's worth the price difference to you, then cool... :)

In that case, stick to a Quadcore CPU. The Q6600 will suit you better. ;) Thermaltake is an okay brand, not my first choice. The Thermaltake 650W should do ya fine though regardless.

The 8800GT 512MB uses the same G92 core, it doesn't really matter. The GTS will give you marginally better performance. It's the same card just with an extra 16 shaders enabled.

It is a regular occurrence for factory overclocked stuff to not actually work at the overclocks, only the default launch clocks. It may or may not help you, and if the card can't handle a small factory overclock then it may not last very long before it starts giving errors at stock speeds. You...
