Haha. Was Bioshock also considered Steampunk? As for Lineage 2, I've never known frustration to cheer me up, but alright! ;-)

Yes, and on fast CPUs, the problem becomes less-evident. On notebook CPUs, it does. It becomes less of a problem with Quad-Cores though, because there's more processing power to begin with, but on a Dual-Core notebook, 20% CPU usage is rather high. Either way, the extra speed is worth it.

Take a look at our results here from a recent notebook article: http://techgage.com/article/gateway_md7826u_156_notebook/3 On two different notebooks, using the SSD (in brackets) resulted in at least a 2x CPU usage %. Why is this the case? I'm unsure, but you can trust me on the fact that an...

This drive in an Eee PC is extreme overkill. I recommend finding the least-expensive (but reliable) SSD, depending on how much storage space you need. The Eee PC is in no way capable of tapping the potential of an SSD, and to be honest, I'd estimate that throughput would be something like 15-20%...

Have the urge to jump on the SSD bandwagon, but don't want to go through the hassle of yet another format and OS re-installation? Don't fret, because Kingston has got you covered. With their new SSDNow M Series bundle, you'll have all you need to upgrade from your current drive, while keeping...

Your last post is a little unrelated to this thread ;-) Could be an overheating issue. You might also want to double-check voltages in your BIOS. Maybe boost up your CPU and RAM voltages just a wee bit (+0.025v for CPU and +0.1v for Memory), and see if that helps. Installing the latest video...

Here's a new question, and forgive me since I know nothing on the subject. Are circuits on a per-room basis, or per-socket basis? Because I realized I also have two 1000W PSUs running in the same room without issue, but in two different sockets (it's a small room, so I'd assume that they'd be on...

Alright, you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject, but how exactly do you acquire a cable card in the first place? Do you take it out of your digital box or something? It's cool that something like that does indeed exist, but it would be even cooler to know just how well it...

I think it would be difficult to measure the effects of such things, because room temps can change fairly drastically even with nothing turned on in the room. It's worse when you have a room in which the sun shines into. It is an interesting idea though, and I'd be interested in some results as...

You got that right. To be honest though, I don't care for that particular design much at all... it's just too curvy.

How did you make out man?

Well, I'm still a fan of big PCs, but that's only because I thrive on the power they offer. If I could get my full-blown desktop performance in a small little box, I sure wouldn't hesitate to take that route. It's not the size I mind so much, but rather the noisy fans. It's so hot in this room...

I think a lot of it has to do with the stand itself. If it's huge, there's not going to be a problem. If it's depth is on par or smaller than the entire depth of the TV, then there's going to be obvious issues. Huge tube TVs need a very stable surface, one that even if you bumped into, the TV...

Hah... there's a new video posted. I think it's even better than the last one.

I agree with Kougar... testing out the E5420's again would be a great idea. Sorry to hear about the trouble man...

It just doesn't seem like a fair contest as usual, like most overclocking competitions. The people who win are the people who don't care about the hardware they win, because if they won in the first place, they obviously already have insane amounts of hardware at home.

Tell me about it :-/ It's even worse in the summer.

This game is one that's being heavily-pushed by NVIDIA, as it's one of the few on the market that takes such great advantage of their PhysX phsyics technology. Here's what the company says: "Original and truly frightening, Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason takes the player through a fantastic journey...

It really depends on what you're using it for. No one can expect excellent audio from a $300 machine, but the video for regular use would be fine. It's not as though colors are going to be degraded because it uses a cheaper GPU. Intel's integrated solutions are fairly useless where HD is...

More reason for people to stop being so cheap. There's no excuse for not getting a decent mount (of course, unless it costs more than the TV). I wouldn't risk hanging up an expensive TV to a cheap mount. Just not worth it.
