    Samsung Develops GDDR5 Memory At 6Gbps

    Nice stuff! Until we hear about GDDR6... :rolleyes: This is all getting pretty crazy! And while it's all well and good RAM getting faster all the time (both GDDR and DDR), I would like to see big improvements in hard drives... Where's our holographic storage??? Hybrid drives still aren't...

    Episode 2 is a foos game

    I liked the game itself, I just didn't like the multiple spots that would crash the game EVERY TIME, so I had to figure out ways around them (even having to download someone's saved game just past the crashing part). Even had to walk around a part looking backwards, as looking at the group of...

    What's annoying is, my buddy bought an original EVGA 8800 GTS in September, and will probably miss the step-up by literally a few days... :mad:

    Best Card to Max out World of Warcraft for less than 100

    Well, then we have different issues all together... If his CPU is only 800 Mhz, then his board likely doesn't even support PCI-Express, let alone AGP 8x... New system all the way... :rolleyes:

    There's a good 40,000 people in my zipcode, and we live in a very affluent area (suburbia about 40 miles from Chicago). We get bent over big time.

    160mb cable internet 2008

    WTF??? The best we have in NW Illinois is 8Mbps/768Kbs "Power Plus" for $53/mo... :mad: We tried starting with the 6Mbps/512Kbpa package originally (was the fastest at the time), and no matter what we or Comcast did, never got more than 4.5Mbps at our brand new house. So, we just get the...

    8800 in a laptop! It is on its way.

    Is the XPS M1710 going to be upgradeable from the 7950GTX Go to these monsters??? They'd better... Anand's article about the upcoming 8800GTS/GTX Mobiles: http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=3155 Looks like 2-times the performance of my 7950GTX!!! :eek: I WANT NOW!!! Maybe there...

    Sears vip night Nov 11 electronics dept

    We were lucky. They not only took off the $250 and the 5%, they ALSO took off another 10% from an email I got the day before! We were originally going to get the 61" Samsung LED DLP, but it looked SO much worse than the Sony 60" KDS-60a3000. We ended up with the Sony OTD and delivery charge...

    What games have you pulled all-nighters playing?

    Let's see here... It's all mathematical. Going by "The Law of the Gaming Man" (I just made this up), you must cut your gaming time in half for each new big thing in your life of those 3. Your time to game, broken down: No kids, single, unemployed = 100% time No kids, single, full-time job =...
