Haha, the 12-step program would be a good one. God knows Bill needs that one :rolleyes: Whew, you are lucky you finished that off, else your wife might have finished you off. You know... assuming she spies on your online activities and all.

From our front-page news: According to industry-tracking website DigiTimes, Intel X48-equipped motherboards will soon be making their way into the retail channel. The first set of shipments are small, but full-throttle shipments should occur in the coming week. X48 is an evolutionary upgrade...

From our front-page news: Now that Windows 7 has a tentative launch-date, does Vista's SP1 launch seem so meh now? No? Then you'll be happy to know that the official launch for the new service-pack will occur next week. It will not become available through Windows built-in updater until April...

I have to agree... b1lk1 is so far in the minority, I can't even see him anymore! With XP, it works well if you know what you are doing, but problems can still arise. Overall, I still believe XP is more stable than XP, but it's also been out for a while longer as well. Vista is annoying as...

That sites takes literally forever to load, so I'll take your word for it. Sounds kind of depressing though. A card like that SHOULD be the most incredible thing to hit our desktops. Can it at least be used in SLI for Quad-GPU?

Is Westinghouse actually available in Canada, or did you pick that up in the States? I've heard good things about their products for a while.

That's not a MSRP price... it's a price to reseller. So $266 is what Tiger Direct pays, therefore making a $300 price tag not so ridiculous. That's one thing that hurts it for enthusiasts. But you are right about the cache issue... most people wouldn't even notice the difference. If only...

From our front-page news: The other day, I posted about the lack of the Intel D5400XS motherboard on the market... the key piece in building a full Skulltrail system. Since that post, I've found out quite a bit, so much so that I'll be posting a brief article on it next week. For now, I can...

You seem to have the worst luck with hardware...

Given their nature, external water-coolers have a lot of room to do things right. Zalman took full advantage of the space they had with the XT and delivered a superb external solution with excellent performance. Though slightly expensive, "you get what you pay for" rings true here. You can read...

Ahh, you are Canadian. We need more around here. Is the Dell 3008WFP not necessarily a good choice then? It has a reasonable response rate. It would be used a lot for gaming (it would become the new benchmarking monitor), but also for other regular tasks, like photography, Photoshop, regular...

From our front-page news: We have posted news of Windows 7 in the past, but specific details of what to expect are somewhat scarce. One piece of info isn't, though, the release date. It's been speculated for a while that 2010 (or -late- 2009) would be the set date, and as it seems, the guess...

From our front-page news:There's been so much mention of piracy in the game industry lately, and really, it's for good reason. However, there are a few people who look at the matter in an entirely different way than most, and it makes perfect sense to me. Rock, Paper, Shotgun has a quick article...

Networking in general is a pain in the ass, but in Linux it can be a little more difficult. It depends on the distro though... some will make the task a lot easier than others. I wish I had recommendations, but I don't, haha. I have never had the need to deal with a network (I connect to my...

Sounds good man, glad to hear it has great image quality. Considering it's a 24" offering for a great price, seeing good image quality isn't something that I would expect. Nice to know that Soyo's are pretty reliable as well. I'll have to recommend them to anyone I know who are looking for a...

Tiger Direct also gouges in their shipping, which is why I never purchase from them. Higher product prices and higher shipping prices generally make me want to go elsewhere. NCIX on the other hand offers express shipping for something like $30, while it's $80+ through Tiger Direct. That aside...

The TV thing is funny... you're right. It seems like a movie just hits the theaters and then a few months later it's on constant play on TBS or something else. I generally only buy movies I plan to watch over in the future. I choose Blu-ray now just because of the quality. There's such an...

From our front-page news: Here's something you don't see everyday. Corsair have just released some low-latency memory for MacBook's and MacBook Pro's, improving on stock and upgrade memory that can be had through Apple or most anywhere else. The press release assumes that Mac users don't need to...

That Samsung looks like a sweet monitor - I love the styling. The specs are right up there also. Soyo... for some reason I am wary of lower-priced monitors. I've read so many stories of people who've taken their chances on lower-priced products and then have run into problems. Does Soyo have a...

The motherboard choices are kind of ridiculous, but I guess that comes with the lack of demand. Companies don't want to invest too much time and effort and develop a wide range of boards like we see with Intel.
