    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    The fact that it isn't working with a program that's only a year old is what's most disturbing to me. If the problems were with software that was released before Windows XP came out, I wouldn't be as bothered, but I'd hope that M$ would at least include one generation of backwards compatibility...

    Windows Vista System Performance Reports

    What matters is that it was the same system, running the same gamut of benchmarks. Do you think this is simply because Vista soaks up more of your machine's performance for its nifty flashiness, or is this operating system truly inefficient at its lowest levels?

    A different sort of mod...

    That will be cool. Personally, I'd just take an ordinary case and Dynamat the walls and drive cages.

    Should you buy Vista Ultimate?

    IMO, even though Aero Glass is a nice little graphical trick, I find my sister's MacBook screen easier to look at than the Aero Glass windows. Whenever you try to look for the controls on the windows, the contents of the window behind seem quite distracting, and they're different every time. I'm...

    Seagate Savvio 15K - Next Gen Enterprise Drive?

    The Antec P150 and Solo cases will take these superfast 2.5" drives, if you decide you want them in your desktop machine. Both Antec cases (which share the same structure and steel) offer elastic suspension bands for the shock- mounting of hard drives. Giving these bands an extra couple of...

    A different sort of mod...

    Well, since the completion of my new main desktop rig is all but certainty at this point, I've taken the old components out of my previous desktop machine and put them into the PC that serves music to the stereo in my dorm room (I'm a college senior). The heat-producing components are a GeForce...

    Ha...Go Colts!

    For those of you who just missed it, and those of you who watched it but love to hear about it again and again, the Indianapolis Colts just managed to pull off the largest comeback in history in a championship game (AFC/NFC) against the New England Patriots (media darlings up until now), winning...

    Hello, Welcome To The Forums. Have A Bit Of A Sit Down and Introduce Yourselves

    Click on my avatar. My profile pic is the funniest picture that I think exists of me. There was one other, but it got deleted accidentally. It surely won't help me promote a professional image of myself.

    List of HDCP-compliant Video Cards

    The GPUs themselves have supported HDCP for a long time, but the board itself needs to have an IC implanted on it that contains the device's HDCP "key". Both the source's HDCP key and the monitor's HDCP key need to be valid for the material to play in hi-def. Otherwise, it only plays at...

    AMD M2.. What We Know So Far

    Unfortunately, it's projected that the quad-core AMD processors are going to need a different socket entirely. They'll be transitioning from pins to a Land Grid Array design, like Intel's socket 775.

    Hello, Welcome To The Forums. Have A Bit Of A Sit Down and Introduce Yourselves

    Curse these unisex names...I'm a guy (photo proof provided), and the name was originally an Irish male name. My friend has a brother named Whitney, so I'm not the only one. I'm also CompTIA A+ Certified, FWIW.

My two primary interests at this time are computer hardware and high-fidelity audio. I've never been...

    OCZ's new Scythe Ninja...I mean...

    The other possibility is that the OCZ cooler is actually manufactured by Scythe, and the design is so similar to the Ninja to ensure commonality of parts.

    Is anyone looking forward to Vista?

    Does anyone remember Windows Me? I think that Windows Vista isn't "the future of operating systems" in quite the way that Windows XP was when compared to Windows 98. I think that if I could skip a generation of the Windows OS like the world wanted to do with Windows Me, I think the upgrade from...

    OCZ's new Scythe Ninja...I mean...

    It looks like everything old is new again. At CES, OCZ Technologies showed a new CPU cooler with a tower form factor, a 6-heatpipe cooler with fins spread nicely apart to allow for low resistance to passive convection cooling, though the cooler offers a mounting solution for a 120mm fan. On one...

    Zalman CNPS9500-AM2

    If I wasn't already planning on using the Scythe Ninja in my Silent PC build, I would put the nVidia cooler in. I'm planning on yanking out the blue LEDs in my P150 case and replacing them with the ultra-bright green variety. I, for one, am SICK of blue. They say, however, that the blue color...

    List of HDCP-compliant Video Cards

    If anyone on here would like to help me expand my list by researching cards directly on manufacturer's web sites, I'd welcome that help. Post it in this thread, and then I'll post up a new sticky thread with the compiled list. The downfall of [H]ardOCP's HDCP list effort is the fact that the...

    Apple's iPhone has been announced!

    And according to CNN just tonight (10 Jan 07), the...um...litigation...has already hit the fan. As many have pointed out, the iPhone trademark was originally registered by Cisco Systems, Inc., who has filed suit against Apple. There had been talk of a deal between the two companies to transfer...
