Hi Rake: The Sandbox term is spot-on, and although I'm not certain of all the hypervisors that offer this feature, I do know that VMware does. There, the feature is called "Snapshot", which allows you to essentially capture the virtual machine at some given point in time. So, if you boot up...

From our front-page news: In any industry, it's common to see people come and go, but I'd be willing to bet that in the tech industry, as thriving as it is, it happens a bit more often than you'd expect. Some people jump around from position to position at various companies like there's no...

Nice review! I'm curious though, how's the performance overall... does 1080p run fine, or have you tested it? The audio and the rest is quite good, as well? Looks like quite a sweet system, I gotta say, and that monitor looks equally impressive. I'd also like to ask, how much did the machine set...

Couldn't agree more with both of you.

That came out of nowhere! Happy birthday man, hope the days treats you right! I'm 26, but I'm still jealous. I'd love to be 24 again :D

Haha, that made me laugh out loud. I agree though. It's bizarre how some people can have completely unnatural skin color after coming out of one of those and don't clue in. Ugh! That's ridiculous. You must've been in a prime location, or maybe you burn easy. I'm kind of in the middle. I burn...

Yes, alright... I'd be game for something like a FRAPS plugin that would show the average FPS as the game is running, because that'd be quite useful while running a benchmarking. Still, the price is the ultimate hitch here... such a premium for simple functions. This screen is FAR too small...
