That is what I read into Huang's "3 chips for $25" vs. $45 for Atom alone claim, though the article doesn't explicitly state what the 3 chips are. If true, this would mean Intel is effectively paying customers $20 to take a NB+SB along with their $45 Atom. So what does that do to fair...

That 12:4 = 3:1 aspect ratio would be difficult to get exact with 16:9 flatscreen panels. But if you used 6 widescreen TV's, arranged 3 wide by 2 high, that would give you an aspect ratio of 48:18 = 2.66 If each TV were 46" to 50", that should get you pretty close to the dimensions they want.

This is nothing new. The spooks have known about it for decades.

Thanks guys. Disconnecting the 2nd drive helped. Windows started to install with 1 drive connected. At least until it reported a read error from the DVD :mad: Swapped out the DVD drive and trying again...

I am trying to install Vista 64 Ultimate onto a fresh system with a Rampage Formula motherboard. Nothing is overclocked yet and nearly everything in BIOS is still at defaults. I have 2 SATA drives. On port 1 is a 300GB Velociraptor for the OS and programs. On port 2 is a 1TB drive for data. In...

I saw a Visiontek 4850 on the shelves at Fry's today. Couldn't buy it though. Fry's discovered their error when the item wouldn't scan at the cashier.

My local Fry's store has the VisionTek 4850 on the shelves. I tried to buy one over my lunch hour today. But when the cashier tried to scan it, the system wasn't finding it. So she called for help and a manager discovered that the street date is next week. They are probably pulling them off the...

This was in reply to my statement "But with increased capacity comes increased useage and eventually you end up with a congested network again, and the same issue will resurface." Of course it is true. Maybe you just aren't old enough to remember when PC's and the Internet were in its...

Here's my take on this: Comcast was inspecting traffic packets. If they determined that a user was doing something such as a bit torrent or other P2P, then they would throttle back that user. But the government (or digital rights groups?) said "You can't do that. You have to treat all types of...

Yeah really. Remember this story about a girl who was arrested at gunpoint in a airport for wearing a LED art-shirt? http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/21/1849208

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds like a single card, 8800 or 9800, should work well for this game on a 30". Thats the info I was looking for. Re. Fraps, yeah my wife occasionally runs FRAPs to record WOW video to make movies. She has put together 5 machinima WOW music vids, posted on...

The game I mostly play these days is World of Warcraft. I have a single 8800GTX in my gaming/file server PC with two Opteron 285's. It plays WoW very well at 1920x1200. My wife also plays WoW. It is the only game she plays. But her machine is getting old in the tooth. Its a P4 2.4GHz with an...

I like the new rules for the most part. Though I think the seller should be allowed to give negative feedback in ONE case; when the buyer doesn't pay. And since most payment is via PayPal, EBAY will usually know if payment was made and could then disallow neg feedback. I have only sold one...

I had a similar issue after updating to 8.1 from some very old drivers. After I ran Windows Update and installed all the optional .NET updates, CCC worked again.
