Well......I'll agree to an extent. The quality will be crappy, but hey, if you just want one song for 99 cents, what do you expect? Oh, and Rob? This is spam.......

I'm active. I'm just very quiet about it. Quacktive.

I'll keep it really simple. PPE in a PCIe configuration, as a stand-alone card, will not fly. You'd have to choose between a single vid card and a PPE card, rather than SLI with a PPE card (or Crossfire with PPE). I don't see the PPE increasing framerates, but rather increasing...

I want one. Where do I sign up?

I'm not so sure. Having had experience with the Beta, and having a general idea where MS is heading with Vista, it's not going to be that big an issue. One, mom and pop aren't going to upgrade their rig that they just bought last year (or even two years ago) for at least three more years...

That's what Jakal said. Mom and Dad only need a single core, us power-users will want dual-core.

1 gallon per week per car is unrealistic. Sure, if you live in a major metropolitan area, and live 2-3 miles from work, but those of us in outlying and rural areas might need to drive 30+ miles to our jobs. Even with the current breed of hybrid cars, that translates to 4-5 gallons a week, at...

Thank you, I just wet my pants.

I don't actually have one installed in my case, but I do have a couple in my toolbox. If/when I need to use it for a BIOS flash, I just pop the case open and plug the floppy drive in, and leave it hanging outside the case until I'm done. You really don't need one for RAID drivers anymore...

I have found one thing to be infallibly true, after many years. When the first statement out of a person's mouth is "I know computers, I've been an IT/Developer/Systems Designer/Etc for XX years", they actually have no clue. I recently had a guy arguing with me on a game forum that I...

I personally can't stand "new" rap. It's garbage, right in line with Britney, Christina, and whoever else the flavor of the day is. Back when I was younger, I listened to NWA, Run-DMC, the other originators. They used their own music, made their own loops, and actually had a...

That's basically what I said. Warranties only apply to the original purchaser, if bought from an authorized retailer. Unless the warranty specifically states "Lifetime Transferrable", you can assume it is not transferrable. I don't take the People's Court as "truth", as they are strictly...

eBay is a touchy subject. If the seller was an authorized Razer retailer, AND had permission to sell online (the two do not go hand in hand), then all you need to do is provide the eBay receipt, or contact the seller for a copy of the payment. If the seller was an authorized Razer...

I got that as well, but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me......my ISP has me behind a proxy.

Have you been living under a rock for, oh, 20 years or so? :D About the last time Radio Shack did anything tech-worthy was when the Tandy Sensation was released (486SX @ either 19.66mhz or 29.49mhz, 4mb RAM, 1mb VRAM, 680mb HDD, 8-bit Sounblaster compatible sound, 2400bps modem, 1x CD-rom...

I don't even agree with the multimedia savvy anymore. The shop I used to work at did a comparison test between a G5 and a P4 3.2ghz (or similar, I forget which exact model), both set up to relatively equal specs. We did computer music studio production (we built U2's live touring rig this...

Yes, using a dedicated sound card will improve your FPS in games, if you use high-quality positional surround sound. If you run two channels for just headphones or 2.1 speakers, no surround or positional, you'll barely notice a difference. Onboard sound chips use the CPU to process the...

Hm........for me, that would have to be either one of my M-Audio Octane mic preamps. $750 each. If you figure both of those, and the FireWire 1814 needed for them to plug into.........$2100 total.

There's another major difference between AMD and Intel............. AMD Fanboi Syndrome. :D Seriously, every time I see one of these threads, it's usually started by an AMD fan pounding his chest and bragging about how much better AMD is than the Evil Intel Empire. Meanwhile, the...

Those programs will only work in limited conditions. If the pixel is "stuck" (not dead), then the flashing program will most likely work. If it's a true "dead" pixel (not stuck) it's a problem of the pixel not getting power. Flashing the pixel won't work, then. Dead pixel is a slightly...
