I'd like to consider myself pretty open, you stated your opinion and I stated mine. Give me some reasons WHY the data is important besides that some sites (reputable or not) republished the data in direct quotes, because all they did was directly quote a random analyst... and there are plenty of...

Very interesting numbers, I had no idea it was such a huge problem, and still is. Of course, now they can simply buy it via the internet, or have it ready for pickup if they wanted, sounds easier than the hit & miss of attempting to buy it directly...

Congrats Rob, about bloody time!! :D Now if you can just raise that CPU multi now... ;) Is this the same chip you had overclocking issues with before? There's really nothing to it, but there are plenty of superfluous BIOS settings that'll only limit clocks instead of helping with them, from...

This from the company that hasn't EVER had such a deliberate obfuscation of their product lineup for the sole purpose of making higher profits? GT, GTS, GS, GSO, GTX, GX2, Ultra... these have been in use since the 6800 line up, give or take a few more. However this is the company that...

Well, the profit/sq foot info is interesting, but as Rob said it is useless for making any sort of comparison. Might as well compare it to the $/sq foot of Apple directly a car dealership for all the relevance Apple Stores have to Walmarts or Tiffany's. The only thing it tells us is you...

Seems more like they are specifically targeting the HPC and supercomputing markets, although turning two/four socket boards into a single socket might also be useful? Those are the only markets AMD is still competitive atm anyway. Or should I say "ftm", for the moment.

As long as the program can actually make use of 2, 3 or 4 cores equally, then yes. The catch is many programs still can't.

Makes some smart financial sense to do this... avoid the costs of having to pay for a cashier, or the losses from unhappy customers that are forced to wait in line and decide to go elsewhere... would get my business in a heartbeat. Can't count the number of times a long line ground to a...

I remember it from when I was getting tires for my car, had to take a crash course in tire ratings. W is 168 (W) is over 168 Y is 186 (Y) is over 186 When in doubt, try the wiki. ;)

You might be surprised how large that minority is, I keep reading that everyone bought a PS3 because of Blu Ray.

Um, the CoolIT Freezone and all the rest are meant to be closed loops, right? There should not be any air bubbles, and if there are they won't be going anywhere. If you still see them call CoolIT about it, they should not be any in a closed WC system such as they sell.

Hm. More like playing catch up... :D Gigabyte's had a good GPU overclocking tool built for their GPUs for awhile now. Now if they'd just match the XFX or eVGA warranty I'd actually buy them...

Nothing stopping other states indeed... most of them would already be taxing the internet if they could possibly do so. So something like this would give them a field day...

I'm more than happy with plain old Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, and once in awhile Coke, I think. I'll pass on the turkey soda :confused: Usually with a twist of some citrus fruit, just a bit of orange soda with Dr. Pepper tastes surprisingly great besides the usual lemon or lime flavors.

Not exactly portable, and I don't plan to use my laptop in the sun because almost every laptop is hard to see in sunlight anyway. ;) Back in 2005 Gateway was selling a cheap laptop that included a 9 or 12 cell battery, and had the option of an additional battery instead of an optical drive...

That's the point of releasing new benchmarks, they have to reset the scores to lower levels for next generations of hardware. ;) My scores were definitely low for a 8800GTS @ 650/1500/1900 clocks, having only 320mb of RAM definitely hurt them. The test uses CPU based physics, so unless it was...

If I want energy, I just mix up a good vanilla maltshake. ;) I'm then wired for the next 24 hours...

Oh yes, I always mention quirks when I can. I run into them frequently, and they are more of an issue than some people realize. P31 chipsets for example... no end to the RAM compatibility issues. Might as well be a 975X MCH, as they share the same limitations with RAM. Some Gigabyte boards...

Can't expect Fry's to be cheaper for everything. ;) Their loss leader sales are simply crazy... just after the Q6600 got price slashed from $533 to $266, they had a sale with them for $200 with a free ECS motherboard. For things like paste, misc hardware, and motherboards they can be...

Ludicrous. :) And I think that day is already here, once Intel's Atom shows up in midsize laptops that hold a 9-12 cell battery.
