Good point, never thought about it like that before. I guess in the end, it doesn't matter what we think, because there are few business practices that continue to make sense to me. Once these people realize it's not smart to screw with their customers, things will begin to make sense again.

Nice! I do regret not being able to get down there... AL is a great time. I'll have to make it a point to get to the event later this year, whenever it happens, if all goes well.

Haha, tu shay.

If there's one thing I've found out, it's that ATI cards suck under Linux. The last time I tried to install one (for a 3000-series card), I rebooted to find out that it didn't actually install at all. In short, NVIDIA cards give far better Linux experiences as far as I'm concerned. This isn't so...

From our front-page news: If I had to guess, I'd assume that the majority of people reading our site are interested in overclocking in some way or another. Few of us can build a new machine and not have the word "overclock" linger in our head. Most of us can't stand using a computer at its stock...

From our front-page news: Whether or not you use free e-mail hosting or host your own e-m ail, I think it's fairly impossible nowadays to use the Internet and not check your e-mail account fairly often. If you happen to use a free service, chances are that it's either Yahoo!, Hotmail or Gmail...

From our front-page news: It was revealed last month that Intel would be offering CPUs later this year that feature both a CPU core and GPU core on the same substrate, and AMD's Fusion is on track to be released about a year later. So with the two leading CPU companies sharing similar goals of...

I agree, the design is ugly, but I'm sure the final product would look quite a bit better. One thing I missed though, is that ASUS is releasing a new Lamborghini notebook that includes what seems to be a single disk that holds 1TB worth of space. It's from pureSilicon... a company I've never...

I agree, but I don't think the GENE will retail for as much as the regular desktop board. I'd be impressed to see it not hover around the $250 mark though, but maybe I'm wrong and it will be even less. If anything, I'd like to see this in an actual SFF chassis, along with SLI or CrossFireX. I...

You have too many thoughts in one block of text... I'm really not sure what the issue is. For that CPU, the FSB should be 2000MHz though, not 1000MHz. Unless you are talking about the memory speed, in which case, I'd just down-clock it in the BIOS to be safe. Make sure you are looking under the...

Saw this the other night... it's a good one. I wonder how often the dog does that?

Gigabyte is a huge company, and they didn't get to be that way by releasing products that fail a lot sooner than their competition. I admit that I haven't used a Gigabyte board long-term, but I have no doubts that they are well-built and will last just as long as the competition, as long as you...

That's just because you play your games too loud :rolleyes: Glad to hear you like the unit Unregistered!

Hi Jozza: I've been told that RivaTuner allows ATI overclocking, but anytime I've ever installed it, I've never found the option to do so. With NVIDIA cards, it's very straight-forward, but with ATI, it must not be. It seems like it would be a hassle most people wouldn't want to deal with. At...

From our front-page news: As we pointed out in our review of NVIDIA's GeForce GTS 250 the other day, CUDA and GPGPU applications in general are sure to see an increase in numbers this year. It sure didn't take look to see some proof of that. Nero AG at the opening day of CeBIT announced support...

From our front-page news:As if Intel didn't have enough to worry about in their ongoing Intel vs. NVIDIA saga, it looks like the green team is actually planning on making an x86 chip - at least eventually. This is pretty much on par with what a recent rumor mentioned, although there's a little...

I agree Doomsday, and it's kind of depressing. Last year when I took at look at the original 9800 GTX, I wasn't impressed. It was essentially an overclocked 8800 GTS. Now we have the same thing again. But as bad as that might be, various improvements were made, and the pricing is right, so it's...

goijgjigpe: I don't really recommend paying £20 more just for an overclocked card... it's not worth it. If you want faster clocks, you could easily take care of that task yourself. You might not want to go that high, but in all honesty, overclocking GPUs in general makes very, very minor...

You might want to consider just joining another team Merlin, unless you plan on recruiting more people or want the team to be all to yourself. Usually it's just easier to join another already-established team.

Are you saying that CPU clients aren't a total waste of time, or they are, and the GPU makes much more sense? I'm not keen on increasing heat in this room with Folding, but I'd consider testing out the GPU client if it's ever made available for Linux (I'm doubtful that will be anytime soon)...
