That is just the problem though... the people buying Macs are not the typical PC users. I'd be willing to bet the majority simply are not very price sensitive. Even amongst the few that are, they know that they are better served with a Mac anway for what they do. Apple iPods are almost the...

Aww, that's nothing... ya can do better than that! :D 65nm Q6600 G0 2.4GHz Stock 1.200v. 2.40Ghz @ 1.10v 3.20GHz @ 1.20v 3.60GHz @ 1.43v 4.00Ghz @ ~1.55v (Required water cooling & still way to hot!) 4.20GHz @ 1.55v (chilled watercooling) Of course, I'm sure you didn't end up more...

Who's Theo? ;) Improved efficiency, and lower PCB production costs was the only thing I understood... but again, no way to know what is marketing filler and what is a genuine improvement over GDDR4. I'm remaining pretty tempered in my excitement over RV770 just because of the R600 fiasco...

Have you seen that one site that compared a E1400 to current chips? It's amazing how much power is left in that dual-core Celeron @ $43... it also speaks wonders about how little benefit L2 cache really is to Core.

I'm personally looking forward to the Anandtech review, apparently they realized what was up with the performance figures: http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/showpost.aspx?i=432 Best sustained throughput, best seek times, and still beaten by 7200RPM drives? Interesting that WD couldn't wait to...

Rather some nice surprises here on ATI's upcoming cards: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37025/135/ ATI 4870 gets a 1.05Ghz Core, 480 shaders, a needed doubling of TMUs (32 vs RV670's 16), and then "something" called GDDR5 @ 2200MHz. 55nm core @ ~150watts, so it doesn't sound like another...

That sounds so much like me, it's scary. I think I'm going to throw out a few broken things, just to ease my conscience... I did at least throw out my broken printer after I couldn't fix it, though. :D

None? Although the 9800GT is supposed to be 55nm and launching soon... that one would likely be if any of them are going to come close. Part of it is NVIDIA is releasing next gen cards based on GT200 this year... whatever they are going to be, they should pretty quickly overshadow the...

$3.20 here, give or take nickel depending what side of town. Hate to be negative, but the summer driving season has not even started yet, once demand takes off so will prices this summer. Amtrack might post their best annual results yet this year... Honestly, I expect prices to keep going...

I had to go dig it up from a pile in the back room: SMC7004ABR Barricade. Was advertised as a broadband router and supposed to have been one of the best, unless the tech store guy was lying through his teeth. This was back around the start of 2003, before I got heavily into tech stuff and...

That's a good point... I'd like to know if the same shortcomings exist in Vista, or not. ASUS very well may have much better Vista drivers than Creative... and ASUS did especially tout these EAX 3-5 features for Vista...

I use a Seagate inside the external HDD box, but I don't run it 24/7 as I do with my computer for the obvious reasons. I also don't install drive manufacturer software unless troubleshooting, it's not needed and they would never tell you there is a problem with the drive unless it was a...

5-6-6-19? That's a really nasty performance hit you just took for that RAM if those readings are correct... Of course it says you are running it at DDR2-840MHz, did you try without the RAM being overclocked? Did you make sure both RAM kits use double-sided chips?

When troubleshooting connection problems and changing router settings one at a time, with each setting change requiring you to knock the entire network + everyone offline including yourself for 15 seconds every setting is more than a minor inconvenience, its just aggravating to everyone on the...

Who would be taking them to court though?? Surely not the customers, no grounds because no one is forcing them to buy Apple? This company had already acquiesced from the sound of it.

LOL, I don't think I'd heard of that happening before! Software glitch-up, or some practical joke virus? My music is on an external drive now, works well enough except I gotta reboot to use it since XP doesn't work with hot-plugging of drives (Score one for Vista). Just checked that box...

MIDs = UMPCs... horribly impractical, and horribly impractical cubed with Vista installed.

RMA'd? Or just being sent back?

It looks like an electric shaver!

I'm on water, a little heat doesn't scare me as long as it's due to blistering performance. :D GT200+Nehalem may strain my watercooling loop though, I was waiting for a new GPU before I bought a GPU block... so I've never really come close to stressing the loop before. Anyway, SMT made...
