It was AM2 that had the limitation... none of the chipsets would allow a CAS latency of 2. However, many people were overclocking their modules so high that CAS2 wouldn't have been possible anyway, so I didn't see a huge issue there. As for that Inquirer article... I had no idea DDR3-1333 C5...

Well, prices are going down fast. By the end of the year, I am sure prices will be half of what they are now... if not even less.

Haha. Yeah, because the thread was SO active before you came along ;-) I agree with Rory... the HFI-580 is a good choice because it's an upgrade to the HFI-550. However, if you could find the HFI-550 for a good price, it might not be a bad idea, either. I'm of the mindset that if you are...

We'll have a review of this card within the month. It looks VERY hopeful. It's essentially the Xonar D2/D2X without the bling (which might be fine for most people).

I agree with the rest... a company loaning out a CPU like that is incredible. Kudos to them. Welcome to the forums, don't hesitate to hang out and ask questions!

Haha :D

Good to see you can still drive around no problem... but it still likes like a swampland all over. How long do they expect it will sit around like that?

What Hyundai was your first? I can picture you in one of these, but perhaps in black, not lipstick red ;-)

"Drop it from a ten story building, giggle, and high five some people." Haha, great find.

Hmm. There's never been a Hyundai to catch my eye. Ever. But the Genesis Coupé really does have the right stuff. Despite the car being somewhat ugly (somewhat reminiscent of the Tiburon), it promises to offer a LOT of power for not much price. According to Autoblog's estimates, the 3.8-liter V6...

Whew, teaser site finally launched: http://banjo-kazooie.com/ I can't view it though, since I don't have SilverLight in Linux, but I am excited regardless. I cannot wait to learn more about this game, and am REALLY hoping Microsoft is not going to screw it up.

The most important thing about selecting memory is simply making sure you are getting enough. If you are planning to use a 64-Bit OS, you should pick up 4GB of RAM, no question. A nice 2x2GB would suit you well. While 2GB is still sufficient for the most part, more is definitely recommended...

You make some good points, and I agree. ASUS is one company in particular who has a huge amount of money to spend on R&D... so their products rarely "suck". The Xonar for example, is their first sound card, and it's flipping incredible. They came out of nowhere and offered a well-designed card...

For US peeps, PC Connection has them in also: http://www.pcconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=8305520&oext=1010A&srccode=cii_5784816&cpncode=12-44191429-2 I've never dealt with this company or even know anyone who has, but they look alright.

The funny thing about that is that people will blatantly ignore it, then when the plug is pulled, they will all be like, "WTF!".

Both GDDR5 and DDR4 are en route, but not necessarily right away. I know that JEDEC was in close contact with memory manufacturers regarding DDR4 last spring... before DDR3's launch. Talks and development will go on for quite a while before something gets pushed out. New memory types are...

Do the socket differences really make that much of a difference? If a CPU upgrade is in someones plans, it would be nice to have a new motherboard... instead of using a two-year-old offering that includes an old chipset.

I think the reason I didn't see SP1 through Windows Update yesterday was due to the fact I didn't have previous optional updates installed. Once I got those taken care of, it showed up. I'm with Greg... all three of my SP1 installations went great, although I haven't delve too much into testing.

Nice, right on schedule too. Price is right and stock is good... hopefully it stays that way.

Hmm, smells like someone just got egg'd on. Go for broke Merlin ;-)
