From our front-page news:I've posted a few times this week regarding stock of 45nm Xeon Quad-Cores that are becoming available all over the place, but now it's time to focus on the Dual-Cores, since there are many people who are looking for them, but are out of luck. It's hard to believe, but...

Haha. Knowing your wife, she'd probably quicker just kick your ass in Counter-Strike: Source before she ever made you sleep on the couch for misbehaving. Which is still the coolest thing ever.

If more women were like this, it'd be a lot easier to pick up. Not too many girls I meet are impressed with a great CPU overclock or the fact that I have a high-level character in an MMO. :mad:

Thanks for that link Kougar... I might have to check that on the new board I have here. I am not sure what happened to the kit of RAM, but it's the same DDR2 kit I've been using for a while. All I know now is... one stick is dead. As for XFX... they do have a great warranty, but I agree with...

I find it interesting that the kit there runs at DDR3-1375 with CL5... but requires tRC of 7. With DDR2... I found the CAS latency to be far more finicky than the tRC. I am impressed that CL5 kits are available regardless though... I am really out of the loop. I should get a bunch of these kits...

Have a great day T-D... and make sure you take a break for once. Sitting back and having a few cold brews wouldn't hurt either ;-)

Damn man... that is quite the situation. I hope your cupboards are full with enough groceries to last you a while.

I don't even know how to respond to a post like this... I do recommend learning more about monitors before recommending one, however. That Apple 30" is lackluster at best. It was released three years ago, and its specifications prove it. It might have been the best gaming monitor then, but it's...

Haha... NCIX has E3110s IN STOCK. It's the E8400 equivalent, and it is $250 even: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=28910&vpn=BX80570E3110&manufacture=Intel Edit: Err... the US version is selling it for $206! http://www.ncixus.com/products/28910/BX80570E3110/Intel/

Yes, AMD's socket jump was kind of ridiculous. To be honest, I didn't really get into hardware until I began the site (I've always been more of a software guy), so I skipped over the 754 era entirely. I went from Socket A straight to Socket 939, so I'm kind of a poser if I voice opinions on...

This is a topic that will be debated forever... regardless of what console generation we are in. Gaming is no different than any other markets. I like BMW's, some people dislike them. I dislike Volkswagen, other people love them. In the end, it all depends on what you are looking for. Each...

There's a lot of talk of others around the web having issues, but every installation went fine for me. I still haven't seen real performance increases, but the OS is sure not acting worse.

An average of 20FPS is good... but 25FPS is better if possible. I benchmark the game using "Medium" rather than High, since most of the lower-end "mid-range" cards are hellish on the High setting.

I doubt it's a rumor... AMD needs to do this. Their HD 3850 performs worse than the 9600 GT, yet costs more. That doesn't make an ounce of sense.

I have more than one computer (I guess this is obvious), and have been meaning to upgrade two different displays forever, so I figured that I might as well get it all taken care of all at once. I have been using a 20" on my main work machine for a while, but needed the upgrade, so that's where...

Your wife is a GAMER? What kind of lottery was this you won?? Haha, this is true. Sadly.

Wow. You give a new meaning to "performance whore", that's for sure.

Don't worry about the cheaters... they only do it to make themselves feel better since they've never had sex with a woman. That's my theory, anyway.

I am going to assume for now that something was wrong with that particular board, because I ran into other problems that forced me to take the board back out and forget about it. I'll install another tomorrow or this weekend and see if it exhibits the same problems.

Nice find! I'll post this in the mornings news. I think it's difficult to judge things on such an early sample, but things look good so far. I -really- hate the fact that the board uses a 4-Pin Molex connector though... such a major pain in the ass. Not to mention the location of the EPS12+ is...
