A couple of things: 1. computer architecture =/= board layout in a system. That is system design and its different. 2. Sandy Bridge is supposedly going to include the PCH (Platform Controller Hub) on package. (hence the massive increase in pin count they are going to LGA-2011, between the...

Uhmmm wow, you should NEVER be comfortable with anyone being big brother. because once that power is given its not so easy to take away and you are stuck with that consequence no matter how it turns out. Besides apple is known for a level of consumer hostility, particularly to developers. A...

As a student going into engineering a laptop is a nessecity for me freshman year, maybe not in classes like calculus and physics, but for introduction to computing, and intro to programming(which is a standard class at every school I applied to), I would think a computer would be nessecary. On...

I believe Mario is actually the owner of overdrivePC. They also custom build all of these computers, which takes time. It's a small company and if you have several dozen orders at any one time, you have to expect a lengthy turn around time. And about the price, I honestly would rather pay an...

Hey, I was wondering, which do you guys feel is a better card, I have an old ti4600 and its starting to die, and icant afford much more than a $225 video card (that is even pushing the budget a little) which do you guys think is a better card for the money. I'm looking for a solid card that...

i think ATI drivers may be more stable right now I am having lots of problems with Nvidia drivers, (though it may just be the video card. Yikes! TI 4600 thats like 4 years old)

also if you want a patch you have to allow them to scan all the programs on your computer to check to see if they are "pirated" so even though I have Win 2000 im not d/l the patch. not because I have pirated software (which I don't because I believe its wrong and immoral) but because thats an...

Its not about being a slacker or not, there is the fact that there is not performance boost for switching to PCI-e except for SLI and thats way too much money for most people. Upgrading a motherboard is more than just installing some new drivers too. It's Hours worth of backing up files, buring...

man all you guys complaining about little jaggies and cant stand it without 4xAA are spoiled hahaha I cant even run the game and i dont have enough money to even think about getting a new graphics card. Ah the joy of being 17 parents want you to take more responsibility and learn to deal with...

all i can say to the intel guy is that intel has always thought it was about the gHz/mHz and AMD has proved its about the architecture as well. Sure HT is a good thing but it still isnt making up for the lack of ultra effecient architecture in Intel technology, until they come up with a better...

I like Grisoft AVG free edition because its free, updates automatically, comes with virus shield and email scanner. As far as Ive seen its no worse than Norton or McAffee and I am extremely pleased with it.

this qoute is brilliant! I personally prefer linux for liscencing reasons and Eula interpretation legal issues. However, in Microsofts security defense, their only real major security hole is Internet Explorer, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/02/web_security_survey_scansafe/...

Congratulations on your legal victory over Tim Roberts and infinium corporation. I am glad to see that those who truely committed slander (as shown by the image posted on your website, which was truely slanderous, making accusations of yellow journalism, the "lowest form of life" quote, if...

just outta curiousity, could you of just tokenised it? and then mainpulated(sry bad pun) it that way?

interesting problem, we recently hooked up a D-link wireless router for my moms laptop to have wireless connection. However, now at random intervals, the connection to all computers (except the admins) will be lost for a split second and then return, disconnecting everyone from every internet...
