Oh no need for explanation. I expect to be asked a lot of questions because I tend to do things a differently from everyone else. Not that there is anything wrong with how anyone else does anything, but if I can get away with overclocking the CPU without bumping the Vcore, I'm all over it...

I am not sure I was even aware that this was going to be happening again, but I just received an e-mail from NCIX stating the fact, and they are already offering the CPUs at the new prices, a few days early. NCIX AMD X2 4800+ 2.5GHz - $109.99 AMD X2 5200+ 2.6GHz - $129.99 AMD X2 5000+ Black...

Here was my max overclock with stock voltage, grabbed from the article: E6750 - 3.44GHz stable, 1.3Vcore Here is the max overclock I found with a voltage bump: E6750 - 3.8GHz stable, 1.5Vcore From this, I assume that anything above 3.44GHz is where things began to destabilize, else I would...

From our front-page news: When we posted two weeks ago that the OLPC XO would be sold in North America for a two-week period, it was only a matter of time before someone got their hands on one and gave it a review. That person this time around is David Pogue, who seemed to have fallen in love...

While it's impossible to say if the Pioneer SE-CLX9 are decent headphones or not—they're Japan-only at the moment—the amount of included rubber ear pieces are impressive, to say the least. Some are for comfort, some to change the sound—they're all probably pretty unnecessary...

From our front-page news: It's been quite the week for Halo, and that's an understatement. In it's first week, Halo 3 managed to score over $300 million in revenue, which is an apparent record. Now comes news that Bungie has decided to go their own way, as a separate entity. What's this mean to...

From our front-page news:When Apple began using Intel's processors in their machines, who knew that Intel was going to allow them rights to the fastest products available before everyone else? We saw it happen with the Quad-Core 3.0GHz Xeon, which until recently had only been available on the...

From our front-page news: It might seem silly to think that 50GB for a single Blu-ray disc isn't enough, but at this point, even high-def movies are doing what they can to fill it up. Hitachi is working to future-proof the high-def format though, with an introduction of their experimental 100GB...

You said it, right there. I am not a PSU guy myself, but even if building a high-end machine, I'd likely go for a "budget" PSU, simply because many of them are extremely solid.

Before you try to rip apart our review and website, it might be wise to take the time to properly construct your arguments and write like an adult. It's hard to take someone seriously who cannot bother to use proper English. That said, we are most certainly not being paid off by Creative and...

Hah, naw even MacMan I think would have enough sense to realize that $800 for an iPhone is just ridiculous. What's stopping Canadian buyers from ordering the iPhone from the US and just bringing it into a Rogers store in Canada? Not much of anything, unless somehow Apple is actually releasing...

You have totally messed up my head for the rest of the evening.

Hi Ante, I do not envy you right now... this is another reason why important data (especially baby pictures) should -always- be backed up to DVD in addition. Backing up to a single external hard-drive is great, but it sounds like you didn't have a backup at all... that was your primary copy...

I hear you there. I am not sure if it's a part of being spoiled by the 8800GTX or not, but the 8600GT/GTS cards are so lackluster by comparison...

I agree, it's bullshit. Even at the beginning of this year, the difference was 15%... and now it's in the Canadian's favor, yet we continue to pay these premiums. I still doubt we'll see a $799 iPhone... that's just asinine. Nobody is going to pay that, except the absolute die-hard Apple fans.

Hah, I have nothing against BioShock... I just couldn't get myself into it. On one hand, I blame it on the fact that I have a hard time concentrating on gaming lately, on the other I blame it on the fact that the game just doesn't do anything new. Yay, Plasmids... that hasn't been done before...

All very true. For the SB, I raised it a smidgen... it was so minor that it wouldn't even need to be mentioned. The NB was set to a max of 1.55v though... I don't recall in recent memory ever having to raise it higher than that, which is still a modest setting as is.

ThinkGeek descriptors are always chock-full of geek humor, hence their name I guess. I've only seen Code Monkeys once or twice, but I think what you say is pretty accurate.

I might have to give it a try if I can find the time, looks good from what I saw at DigitalLife last week though. I think it's going to be the first PC game in a while that I actually will feel compelled to play, since Bioshock didn't really do anything for me.

I can't see it being $799... that would be biggest mistake for Apple, ever. Considering the US version costs $399 and the Canadian dollar is worth more than the USD... it makes no sense that it would cost twice as much. If it were true, they'd be moving units very, very slowly.
