I'm not sure what you mean here. The 1333FSB would equal 333MHz in the BIOS. My max overclock was with using a 300MHz, so that would equate to 1200FSB. 300MHz was the absolute max FSB I could hit, so that's essentially the setting that would offer me the best bandwidth. If you wound up with a...

I should have been more clear... I was referring to the desktop side of things, not servers. Ugh, heh. I can understand their purpose, but I hope the DDR3 variants run far cooler than the DDR2 models. I don't much care for my RAM hitting 80°C. Right, I didn't mean it was old, just that it...

Are you saying that TF2 uses the hl2.exe file? Either way, I had a fair amount of crashes of Half-Life 2 while using it for benchmarking (one time in every 30 - 40 times maybe), but to be honest, I've had crashes with almost every game we benchmark with... it's just inevitable. Do you have that...

I can almost guarantee that it's even more complicated under Linux. Well, at least the BOINC client I used in the past to handle things. The command-line F@h was fine, but it obviously leaves a bit to be desired since it runs as a daemon. I've since given up on folding though, at least until a...

Hah, didn't know about the comedies to poke fun at the band. There's a few songs that might have become popular in the US... such as "One Week". I'd link to some music videos if YouTube actually had some. The band's record label must be gung-ho with making sure they don't appear online. They...

From our front-page news: Ah, the age-old question. Whether you realize it or not, the market has many operating systems, but there are only a select few that are large enough to be mentioned on a regular basis. On the desktop side of things, these of course include Microsoft's Windows, Linux...

So, it appears that a unique coffee shop has just opened in Vassalboro, Maine. It's unique in that... the waitresses are completely topless. This is not a restaurant... or a strip club... but a coffee shop. Given I live somewhat near to this, I'll have to check it out if I get near to it before...

Oh, I'm aware of that (since I frequent their site), but that application was built for them, not us. I just think it would be nice if Folding@home themselves could release a benchmarking feature or special client for the sake of benchmarking. It doesn't seem that difficult to me. Just choose a...

Like Kougar said... no desktop PC love here. But despite that, these six-core CPUs have me quite excited. As I mentioned in another post, this is something that might just help AMD thrive a bit more. They already do quite well in the server market, so a chip that offers more cores that can be...

I had no idea that the EAX support was so poor. I guess for the most part though, that's where the card lacks, and that's always been known. You still get fantastic audio otherwise. I've had my Xonar for just over a year now, and I have never thought about switching. It's truly a fantastic...

I have to agree... since I've been nothing but frustrated with Intel's graphics offerings in the past (have only ever used them on notebooks, however). It does seem like it's just whining out of Intel, and it's quite odd to say the least. But whatever... NVIDIA has done the exact same thing in...

I might sound a little ignorant, but I'm not sure how big the Barenaked Ladies ever got in the United States, but it's a band I grew up with, and I recall singing their songs even when I was just nine-years-old ("If I Had $1,000,000" for the win!), and I consider some of their songs to be...

Ahh, I gotcha. Creative, immature, but still quite humorous. It's not like I haven't done such silly things in the past. I've also seen people who would run Solitaire constantly so that their "game time" would constantly increase... for whatever reason. Haven't seen it in a while though, so I'm...

From our front-page news: AMD today has released information regarding live public demonstrations of their upcoming Istanbul server processor that will become available later this year. Istanbul isn't considered a successor to current Shanghai-based Opterons, but rather a compliment. These new...

Hi professor X: As I mentioned in the first post to this thread, due to the complete lack of time I've had recently, I was unable to go back and re-test comparative NVIDIA cards for the sake of adding them to our graphs. This is something I regret, but I've been working towards getting dug out...

Well, I wouldn't get too upset over the lack of a Windows 7 driver... I mean, the OS isn't even out. Sure, it's in a "great" state, but most company's have more to worry about than to support an OS that's not supposed to be here for another ten or so months (a final release date is still up in...

This article is over two-years-old, and at that time, having a router with three antennaes was not popular. I did do research, and when I asked ASUS about it, I was told that it was to improve stability. I didn't realize at the time that it was a Draft N feature. All of that aside though, I'm...

You know, I've been hearing a lot more bad about this browser than good, which kind of surprises me. I haven't used it much and don't plan to, but from what I saw, I thought it was pretty cool. I can appreciate the fact that they're adding cool effects to the browsing experience, such as the...

Ahh, the thought of building a brand-new machine... it's a great feeling :-) Those choices look quite good overall, but I'd like to make a few small recommendations so that you can both save money and make improvements in some spots. First and foremost, I'd recommend considering a Quad-Core...

It's not "overclocking" if you are setting the RAM to settings that are noted on the packaging. The way the internal specifications (SPDs) on the memory works is that there is a failsafe, so usually the default timings are more loose than what they actually should be. So on that kit, the BIOS...
