From our front-page news: If Microsoft were to go out of business right now for whatever reason, they would undoubtedly be remembered for a thousand different things until the end of time. Given that it's human nature to automatically find the worst in everything, Windows Vista and the Xbox...

Thanks for the compliments Daybringer! Xeon's are the server-equivalent to the desktop processors, so there are virtually no differences in terms of what will run and how well something will run. If you see a Xeon and desktop processor with the same frequency, cache size, FSB frequency and et...

Is it just me, or does 1920x1080 seem a bit odd for a computer resolution? It is a legit resolution, but I think the scaling would be far different than what we are used to. I wonder why they've decided to go that route? As for the 19 hour battery-life... that one I have got to see.

Kougar is almost a pro at putting me in my place. Am I right? :-( Yeah, grey seems reasonable. Neither S3 or that color are too interesting.

Thanks for the information as always Kougar. I'm glad to know that the Octal-Core processors are still in their roadmap, but I'd like to know exactly when they are set to launch (not that it's too important). As for Westmere, as far as I know, the tentative date for that is still Q1/Q2 2010...

Fair enough, but they do keep on getting faster. Now if only they'd keep getting cheaper...

From our front-page news: Unless there is some sort of revelation with regards to the traditional hard drive soon, SSD is likely going to become the future of storage. If you ask a hard drive vendor, they'll tell you that SSD might be the future, but the traditional hard drive will still be the...

From our front-page news: ATI and NVIDIA... that's who usually comes to mind when we think of graphics processors, and it's obvious why. Both companies offer sensational products when compared to the competition, and unless Intel's Larrabee really does kick the serious ass that they are claiming...

From our front-page news: Whenever I hear the word "Monster Cable", I clench my fists, because I know what kind of rip-offs their products are. It can be debated, but it's been proven before over and over that a standard cable is almost always just as effective, as long as you are dealing with...

From our front-page news: Intel's upcoming Larrabee architecture (which we've looked at in-depth here) is still a long way off, but that isn't stopping the company from teasing us with concept art from Project Offset, whose game developer they acquired earlier this year. You can see one of the...

I find a few things interesting here. Perhaps I was the only one, but I didn't realize there would be such a blatant lack of processor launches in the first-half of next year. One diagram there shows nothing at all... which is actually rather interesting. If Nehalem will launch three new parts...

From our front-page news: If you enjoy looking at huge diagrams inside of PDF files, then you are in luck. Japanese site PC Watch somehow got a hold of a large collection of PDFs that outline Intel's future plans for a variety of product-lines, from processor, chipset and beyond. After a quick...

Hmm. What a start to the new season, to say the least. The Colts get brutally murdered, Brady could be out for the season and Favre looked like he wanted to cry during post-game interviews. This season is going to be damn interesting. The Colts will likely comeback next week, but without Brady...

I can't believe they offer deals like that... that's over $300 off. Incredible.

Yes, that's something I noticed as well. I even ran Driver Cleaner and CUDA still remained (at least according to Sandra). Odd to say the least. I still haven't really figured out the AMD side of things. It says Stream is not installed, but all I see on the AMD site are SDKs... and all of them...

I'm still waiting to be able to use my Tuba with the PC. /me doesn't really own a Tuba.

Thanks man. I do understand your angst against the external water-cooling, and I agree completely.

I'm curious to know what the admins do as well... I'm surprised they're letting it go on at all. And yeah, I like mods that actually have a computer in them. His is half-finished... not sure why it was even accepted.

I've never even heard of this monitor, but it looks stellar, and you really did get a steal of a deal on it. If you want to make a profit, I'd sell it and go for the 2408WFP, unless you need something as big as a 27". I personally don't care much for the increased pixel-width, so 24" to me is...

Looks like my wish has been granted. Last week, I inquired about inclusion of FLOPS metric in these new benchmarks, and they took the request seriously. A new version to be released tomorrow will include exactly that. I'm looking forward to giving it a shot... I'd really like to begin...
