I think SSD right now is strictly for business folk. They are fast, lightweight and increase battery life. It's a win/win overall. It's also these people (or their respective companies) that can easily pay for the drives. It comes at a premium, but is still not a bad option. In reality though...

Since when is an ass plug a gaming peripheral?

Time to haul out the swimming gear ;-)

External hard drive enclosures are a dime a dozen... kind of. VOX's solution delivers similar features as the others, such as USB 2.0 and FireWire connections, along with some backup software. In the end though, what should be a killer offering proved to be a very mediocre one. You can read...

Wow man, I hope the weather doesn't mess up your daily routine too much... that's insane! I've been rather lucky in that I've never had to live through crazy weather like that. I've come close with an ice storm when I was younger, but it was mild compared to something like this. I am of the...

Custom and Express buttons are for XP... not Vista. Or am I missing something?

Of course, I wasn't suggesting that a television would play a console game. But if you plan to pick up another high-definition console just to play a certain game, you deserve an HDTV :) That demo doesn't have much to do with GT5 Prologue except for the name, which is fine because I found that...

You should add, "in my opinion" after that, because that's the most loaded response. The Xbox 360 has been around longer than the PS3 and has a far larger software library... so for gamers, it makes it the logical choice. The fact that the PS3 contains a Blu-ray player shouldn't be weighted...

Same here... unlinking is best. It could be that your memory was being overclocked and you didn't realize it.

Damn that's quick shipping. And yeah, FedEX is "good" with taking it upon themselves to decide whether they leave it there or not. I've found out the hard way.

Not sure what happens in September, but the transition is supposed to complete next February as sbrehm mentioned: http://www.dtv.gov/

I agree with you sbrehm... mice companies need to push out some good products for lefties. None of them want to go that route... instead, they push out ambidextrous mice that are mediocre at best (imo).

Ahh interesting. It wasn't there at all yesterday (I didn't look today).

This is the eVGA 780i you are referring to? It should be a board to hit 500FSB rather easy (from what I gather). The FSB rides on the Northbridge voltage, so make sure you are increasing it there. I believe 1.25v is stock for the 780i NB, so bumping it up to 1.4v might be a good idea.

I doubt 32-core processors will cost that much at launch... but it's far too early to even assume anything. Prices keep going down while technology keeps getting better. Nehalem of all things will likely carry a special premium, but even a year after its launch, consumer parts should be...

Nah... I take all of that into consideration. I have dropped down to a 6x multiplier and still can't hit 500FSB on any of the processors I test. I am going to install an X48 board tonight, so I'll see where that goes. Yup... the first time I installed such a cooler was also the last time. By...

When it comes to purchasing a high-definition console, I truly recommend considering a 1080p television purchase first. It's been said a thousand times, but it's true... there is no comparison. The largest issue with standard-def TVs is the overall game brightness. Games appear far darker than...

Paul's reads are great, I agree. I also installed SP1 with no problem... but contrary to what was believed, it is not available through Windows Update. So far so good though... haven't run into bad problems.

For -most- people, I think the GX2 is a waste of time. However, for those using 1920x1200 or 2560x1600, the card would prove invaluable. Right now, no single-card configuration boasts such power like this. You could say, "Just go SLI", but with the GX2, you are not forced into a specific...

Same here. Before I built this Quad-Core, I was using a Socket 939, haha. Before that it was Socket A. I guess I lie... I know I had an Intel machine before... might have been Socket 7. I do hope AMD can pull things together though. We need them, and right now, what they are doing just seems...
