That's interesting. I've never ordered an HD that has been DOA. Your experience was just with mobile drives?

I'm of a similar mindset as Kougar. Throwing in new parts would be difficult and time consuming, but you'd imagine the benefits would outweigh the downsides. Technology is constantly getting better, and the shuttle is in no way "perfect", so it seems to make sense that newer technology would be...

Sadly, I don't have much time to conjure up a nice response, but I appreciate all of your opinions. I do personally think an ES chip is worthy of being used, as I don't believe it to differ that much from a retail chip. I am incredibly confident that anyone with a retail setup should be able to...

How is it that the 16-phase power solution is not close to 12? I'll admit I'm not that keen on power solutions, so any insight would be great. I still love the P5Q though. It's a feature-packed board, but the overclocking -sucks-. I am unsure if it's the P45 chipset itself, or the board, but I...

I don't think DIY notebooks will ever take off in the sense that most people would look there first, but for the enthusiast, it seems to make a lot of sense. It's nice being able to pick out your own CPU, memory, hard drive, etc. It's also nice if you are able to find such parts on eBay for...

Haha, I know what I'm talking about! Glad it's working James. Just forget about how ridiculous the fix was ;-)

Well that's what I mean... we haven't seen one hit the cap. Whether that's due to the chips or the USB architecture itself, I don't know.

Building a new machine and want DDR3 support? Then the X48T-DQ6 should be up for consideration. It offers great performance, very stable high overclocks (500MHz) and lots of connectivity, including a full eight USB ports at the back. The layout is not ideal, but the board still proves good...

"Believe that!?" was referring to the fact that the most popular ATI card used is four-years-old. Yes, that does surprise me, big time. I didn't mean it as an insult. It just blows me away that the most popular ATI GPU used is a mid-range card that came out in 2003, when the most popular NVIDIA...

Well it doesn't affect a 64-Bit Vista as far as I know, and Mac OS X only comes in 64-Bit from what I recall. It's only Linux that gets ignored.

From our front-page news: It's time again to peruse the results of the latest hardware survey on Steam. There are a few interesting and not-so-interesting results this time around. First up is network speed, which shows less than 5% are still on dial-up, while another 30% are on a 1Mbit or...

From our front-page news: The latest version of Adobe's Flash is coming soon, but for those antsy, there is a public beta now available. "Public" might be the wrong word, since it's designed for developers, but there will no doubt be far more public testers than developers. The latest version...

Haha, oh man this is getting good. I love the "Duece", what inspired you to design the logo like that?

Haha, I didn't notice these messages. There is no real notification that there's been a message posted here... how nice.

I am not sure how it would become much of a monopoly, since Microsoft already owns countless properties as is, most of which already compete with Yahoo!'s offerings. So from what I can tell, they'd just be getting more traffic for services they already offer. The acquisition sure wouldn't do...

I simply just don't have one of those kicking around (nor the Q9450 anymore), which is why it wasn't compared.

From our front-page news:You might have thought that the entire Microhoo! deal was long over, but that might not be the case. Microsoft withdrew their bid two weekends ago, but we found out only a day later that Yahoo! would be up for more negotiation. What that proved to us was that Yahoo! only...

From our front-page news: We posted the other day about a Wall Street Journal article that claimed Dell was pulling their XPS gaming line-up in order to focus primarily on Alienware. As it was quoted, the XPS line was "cutting into" Alienware's profits... which did seem like an odd claim to...

From our front-page news: In case you happened to miss it yesterday, I posted a brief article taking a look at the latest iteration of DeviceVM's Splashtop, as seen on ASUS' upcoming P5Q Deluxe. Numerous sites posted about this yesterday, but not a single one posted much info in any real depth...

From our front-page news: It's rare to see an open-source application split up into two parts of a "fork", but Pidgin is one such victim. Late last month, arguments between the development staff over a controversial feature forced one side to split off and develop a version that should be...
