I have no idea, but I've had various issues with this PC ever since I built it. I can't say for sure, but certain factors lead me to believe that the motherboard is less-than-stellar, so I have a feeling when I upgrade, most of my issues should go away. Merlin, there's a definite issue there to...

Hah, that's a good one. Kill two birds with one stone.. have a healthy lunch, and save $60 for your job.

The price-gouging is ridiculous, and I have no idea why Intel isn't doing something about it. Of course they can't very-well control prices on certain sites, but they can certainly stop shipment of product to those companies. What's companies like Newegg going to do? Stop selling Intel product? Hah!

You have NOTHING to worry about, trust me. :-)

Thanks as always for such a detailed response. I'm well aware what the MIDI file format is, and the benefits of, but I didn't put it all together and clue in that MIDI = a real interface. That's the first thing that comes to mind for me, because I'm planning on purchasing some DJing software...

I haven't, but I don't imagine you'd have much of a problem. I'm with Kougar in that I'd rather not use Intel boards for various reasons, but the company's drivers are kept up-to-date, and its chipset installer is an all-in-one that basically covers all of its chipsets... even on notebooks...

Hi MDS, and thanks for the post :-) The reason for not mentioning those two Phenom II models is because they're both discontinued. Prior to writing any CPU review, I check out the vendor's respective website for an up-to-date list of shipping parts. If the model isn't listed, it's no longer...

I'm late on this, but given that it was Ubuntu 8.04, the best thing would have been to download the latest version, since that one there is a year out of date. Updating to the latest version should have found and installed the driver.

"As has been already known since the release candidate, Workstation 7 now allows up to 4 cores to be dedicated to a given VM" ;)

Intel never posts detailed information about upcoming products on its website. In some cases, the press room will have some, but even that is rarely detailed. The best thing you could do is just load up a search engine and seek information you need out. We haven't had much information up to this...

Bah, that's strange. I'd say I have no idea why companies in the US don't want to deal with Canada, but I do... Custom's is a major pain in the ass. But still... if I can send to the US, companies like Corsair should be able to send to Canada.

Well, to be honest, how I was looking at it is that if you're willing to spend $1,000 for a new CPU, then perhaps you wouldn't mind spending $1,250 total in order to get a great CPU now, and a "best" CPU within the next six months. Once the hexa-cores come out, you could pick up the highest-end...

How hilarious would it be if breast-enhancement creme happened to make stellar TIM?

You'll be fine with the 1.0. The only time when you might run into a bandwidth issue is with dual-GPUs with two very high-end cards. You're absolutely fine with your choice there.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something huge here, but what makes MIDI such a popular choice in this day and age? For that matter, what's the most common use for MIDI? Just to create beats? Or full tracks?

From our front-page news: Just under three weeks ago, we posted that VMware had launched a release candidate to the general public for final testing, and it sure didn't take too long before the final version was to hit the market. It's available right now, and as a minor surprise, the retail...

Nah, this has nothing at all to do with TRIM. It's sure to be something regarding odd PC configurations. The last data corruption bug had to do with a password-enabled BIOS... totally random.

This isn't our contest, but it's "sweet" enough for me to link to: <object height="295" width="480"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yr7ZAsPMAUk&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="295"...

From our front-page news: Earlier today, we posted a story which discussed both the TRIM command and also Intel's new SSD Toolbox software, which is what issues the command for operating systems that don't automatically support the feature. Today, however, Intel has pulled the firmware update...

Oh, I somehow overlooked the requirement of MIDI... but I admit I didn't know one card excelled over another. Whoops.
