    Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X

    I wouldn't get this if you just need to toss it in as an extra... you might as well make them both the same. That said, you could add this if you wanted to.

    Dell's Online Store Hit with Changed Prices

    As a boss, one of the biggest hurdles you may ever have to face is the letting go of a single employee, or many. In the tech world, and well, in any business in general, layoffs are inevitable, and when they happen, it's seriously unfortunate. It means hard workers are out of a job, and are...

    Cherrypal Releases "Africa", $99 Notebook

    The search for ultra-affordable yet competent notebooks has been on-going for years, and as time passes, we continue to see numerous potential models. Some of these do indeed hit the market, such as the OLPC and Classmate, while some are still works-in-progress. But even as these new notebooks...

    Selection? What selection?

    Haha, that is spot-on. I agree... the quality of these LCDs is fantastic. 24" monitors used to be a luxury, but nowadays they're "just another monitor". People used to pay <em>way</em> more than this for a lot less. I never go shopping unless I have to, so I have no idea what the situation is...

    The future....

    I agree a lot with Tango on what we'll see in the future. Small computing is here, and now more than ever, being able to build a small PC that still packs sufficient performance is quite exciting, and it should only be getting better. Take a look at solutions with Atom and ION... this is just...

    31% of Windows 7 Issues Related to Installation?

    That's exactly it. We can't surmise the real weight of the problem without knowing that. But of those 100,000 people who did have a problem, about 31,000 cases were related to installation, and that much is interesting.

    Maxtor OneTouch4 - What HD inside?

    Did you ever get this solved, liqnit? I never thought of this issue before, but I plugged in my USB drive and have the same issue of not being able to see the real name of the drive inside.

    Corsair Releases 24GB Dominator Memory Kit

    Yes, that's absolutely true, haha. I'm not quite sure what scenario requires so much RAM, to be honest. I'd assume ultra-large production studios that handle memory-heavy uncompressed textures constantly, but for anything based around mathematical computation, I can't see huge amounts of RAM...

    Adding FLAC support to MPClassic....

    Ahh, very interesting Tango. I can understand the reasons behind using MPC now. Definitely the way to go if you want as lightweight a tool as possible.

    Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

    Ugh, that sounds horrible. You don't have any control over the OS at all? If you do, you might want to uninstall whatever is related to Logitech, and then re-install the motherboard drivers (chipset, primarily, and USB if there are some). You might also want to do a System Restore to revert the...

    Sun VirtualBox - Free, Powerful Virtualization

    I never even thought to give that a test. Will do with the next hypervisor I'll be looking at (VMware Player).

    ASUS P7P55D-E PRO

    I really wish I could help you there. I'll see if I can get a features matrix from ASUS or something. They really need to simplify things... it's a little foolish to be so complicated, especially when all the different model types overlap the pricing of all the other boards.

    Saitek X-52 Pro Flight Control System

    I am curious... does the configuration tool for the joystick itself allow you to reverse the X axes? Maybe it'd be easier to do it that way than with in the game itself. Finding a solution might be difficult since this review is so old and the reviewer is no longer with the website. I hope you...

    The new build ...

    Hmm, how about wrapping the entire PC in plastic wrap? :cool:

    PSU calculator

    And that's just insane... imagine how much that would increase the power bill, seriously. I remember back when I ran Skulltrail for a month prior to our launch article, and I noticed the difference in the power bill. I could imagine one of these 1,000W+ Goliath's.

    Gigabyte P55A-UD4P

    I'll ask Gigabyte to see. ASUS is the same way... it's ridiculous.

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X

    $429 for an HD 5850? Ugh, the HD 5870's on these shores are less than that (you know, given you can find them in stock).

    Saitek X-52 Pro Flight Control System

    I am not familiar with this product or that game, but could it be that the X axises are reversed in the options?

    31% of Windows 7 Issues Related to Installation?

    Yesterday, I posted a brief report about Windows 7 usage from our readers, and the results were quite impressive. As it stands today, almost 30% of our Windows readers use Windows 7, and for an OS that's been out for just over two months, that's quite a feat. I also mentioned that that Windows 7...
