    Comcast Plans to Slow Down Heavy Users During Congestion

    Seriously, I don't want my internet connection to slow down because of someone downloading torrents 24/7. You have the right to download as much crap as you want, but once you start taking away from other peoples experiences, something needs to be done about it. As long as the policy is...

    Google Is Fat, Happy and Arrogant?

    Microsoft is good at doing one thing, and that's making money. Google is definitely a trendier and more creative company, but they haven't made much of a profit on their own endeavors. If they can't think how to generate revenue beyond Google Ads, the company will not reach the revolutionary...

    NVIDIA Reports Problem With Laptop Chips

    Nvidia has 1.6 billion in cash and equivalents with no debt, so the company is still healthy even with these problems. Compared to AMD with $5 billion in debt, Nvidia should be doing fine in the long run once it fixes its problems.

    NVIDIA Dictates Advertised Video Card Pricing

    This is about marketing rather than trying to screw over the consumer While there are a lot of enthusists here who know the difference between the NVIDIA line up, there are also a lot of consumers who don't know the difference and use price as a determining factor for performance. Since...

    What is the past tense of troubleshoot?

    That sounds better. I wrote my resume without the word troubleshoot because there is no way of making it sound right. I personally think troubleshooted sounds better, but troubleshot looks more grammatically correct. I just never heard someone actually use troubleshot in a sentence before...

    Question about Shuttle

    If I had the money I would just get a shuttle. Shuttles are nice since they are much smaller than the mATX cases. The drawbacks are that its limitited in upgrades, and in overclocking is also limited, but you still can get some gains. However having a small shuttle on your desk definately...

    Hard decision - AM2 or C2D ? Which Board?

    If performance isn't a priority, I would recomend getting a shuttle over the sgo1. A shuttle is much smaller and in my opinion looks a lot better and more refined sitting on stop of a desk than the "bulky" sg01. I would get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856101015 with...

    AMD Says Barcelona will be 40% faster than Core 2

    I think is bs. AMD is just trying to please investors after their disapointing earnings report today.

    Just buy retail. Its more expensive but it should last you for the next 5 to 10 years, and you'll don't have to worry when you upgrade your system.

    building sff - in over my head?

    You should just get a shuttle barebones. If you have experience building PC in the past, then a sff should be no problem. Actually a barebones is er since the motherboard is already hooked up. Also once you built one pc, you build them all. Building an AMD is the same as building an...

    Am I screwed o_o

    I agree, I bet anything that its the motherboard that shot. I would test out the motherboard and then the processor. Worst case scenario if both are fried, just spend your $200 on a $100 motherboard and a pentiumD processor and upgrade to a coreduo once you earn the money. I don't like the...

    AGP Graphics cards - opinions welcomed within

    The high end agp cards are a waste of money. Its almost better just to upgrade your motherboard and buying the pcie card. For the price of a 7800gs agp, you could get a cheap amd64 939 or pentumD motherboard and processor, with a nice midrange video card, which would be a whole lot better...

    What 100$ agp to use with sff 250w

    I just upgraded my sff with a 270w ps with a xfx 7600gs for about $130. It also draws low power. You can actually get passively cooled versions of the card if you want, but putting it in a small case might be a little sketchy. It was a big performance boosts over my old 9800pro especially...
