    AMD A10-7850K Kaveri APU

    I had memory issues with my Kaveri as well. Bought the 8 GB Radeon 2400 deal, and now it's completely stable.

    Best Buy, Intel 520 180 gb $129 !

    Thanks. I just took a look at the benchmarks, and they match what I read in the AnandTech review of the 240GB 335 (that review also has the 240GB 330, and the 240GB 520 benchmarks). It seems pretty clear that the 840pro blows everyone else away, but you're talking about paying an extra...

    Best Buy, Intel 520 180 gb $129 !

    Just looked at some benchmarks... Is the 520 really that much better than the 330? It looked like the main area was in incompressible data. I jumped on the New Egg deal the other day for the 240gb drive at $139. I think I value the extra 60 gigs of space more than I value the performance...

    Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

    77 pages, plenty of passion about this game. I had heard there was an ending controversy, but avoided spoilers. Finally finished it yesterday with a strength of mid 6000's. I agree with those that loved the game, and the series, hated the end. More specifically, I can almost promise with...

    Mass Effect 3 Discussion Thread

    I'm at that part right now, on Hardcore. I've breezed through much of the game so far, but this fight seems to be a significant step up in difficulty. Bummer to hear everyone hates the ending. I've tried to avoid spoilers, but it sounds like it's a downer. I've really enjoyed the game so...

    Corsair H100 for $104.99

    I'd love to see something likes these for video cards. I've had a H50 for a while, and I'm pleased. My 5850 sounds like a leaf-blower, though, and with a double rad, I could see two separate systems or something (with two pumps), one for the CPU, one for the GPU.

    ASUS ML239H IPS Panel LED BackLight

    To me it interested more than other knowledge if the filter to anti-glare is heavy or less, in order to avoid l' effect sand on the white man

    What is going on with my system???

    RMA'd the drive, new one coming Monday. That said, I don't think it's the drive. Or not only the drive. I reinstalled on an old drive, and am getting some of the same problems I was getting before. Monitor signal not coming through consistently. Fan on graphics card not working correctly...

    System: i7 920 Asus P6T 6 gigs of RAM (could look at specs if it matters) Corsair TX750 PSU DVD-RW drive 150gig Raptor HD 5870 Win 7 Pro x64 Long story short, the system was water cooled, I had a leak, but everything seemed fine. I had some minor issues with my GTX 260 (the leak...

    Ding on mid 2010 Macbook Pro. How to get ding out?

    For those saying go with PDR (paintless dent removal), or any PDR techniques (ie. suction cup, dry ice, etc.), that won't work. Aluminum doesn't have the same memory qualities as steel, so a suction cup won't work. I know few people that don't have some kind of marks on their MBP's. I...

    Discussion of past vs. current TN+film technology

    Ok, I'm going to jump in here and see if I can use the forum expertise in this thread to get some input. There are two things about monitors that absolutely drive me nuts 1. The anti-glare sparkle coatings that Defbringer mentioned a few posts up. I am very sensitive to sparkles, and pretty...

    32" LG 32LF11 S-IPS 1080P $399 + S/H ($360 + S/H with 10% Bing Cashback) @ Newegg

    Tempted by this, but worried about Newegg's dead pixel policy. I want to be able to return the monitor if it's not perfect. Maybe I'd be better off at a B&M?

    Intel 34nm SSD will have a 60% reduction in price!

    No, but it did come with a little black plastic bracket to slightly increase the thickness of the drive for some applications. Oh yeah, it also came with an "SSD's Rock!" sticker (seriously :D ).

    Intel X25-MG2, Newegg auto RMAs?

    Got mine this morning. FedEx sucks... It sat in their hub (about 4 miles from my house) all weekend, and they refused to let me pick it up, even with me offering to pay to do so. That was with paying extra for FedEx priority overnight. Worse, one of their customer service reps was incredibly...

    Intel 34nm SSD will have a 60% reduction in price!

    JimHsu, Hmm, seems the only major difference was the 4k writes almost being halfed. How much of the drive's capacity are you using. Wonder if trim would fix this once implemented...

    Intel 34nm SSD will have a 60% reduction in price!

    Ordered a 160 gigger last night from Newegg. Rush order + overnight shipping, total was like $475. Expensive, but I've been wanting an SSD for a good 8 or 9 months, and have been tracking the technology for almost 10 years! Just wished they had gotten them in a day sooner so I could play with...

    Intel new SSD 34nm?

    Just funny that such a narrow topic turned so broad. This topic was started about a specific SSD line from a specific manufacturer, with specific dates for a product refresh. It's turned into what I see as the best debate to date on this forum for the actual merits of an SSD. I applaud you...

    Intel new SSD 34nm?

    Interesting how this thread has turned into the general SSD discussion thread. I don't mind, but find it funny. I've been lurking for months on the DSS forum, watching the evolution of SSD's. Almost sprung for an X-25M when they were first released, then again a few months ago when Newegg...

    No choice, have to use wireless

    Just to add my $.02, if you want to run Cat5e or Cat6 through your air return, you need to buy "Plenum" cable rather than "Riser". Plenum is rated for running through central air ducts, as it gives off no toxic fumes when it melts/burns. It is, however, about 3x as expensive.

    I7 X58 Mobo help, with a twist.

    First, I did a search and spent a lot of time reading up on various threads, so I'll try to make this a little different than all the generic "which X58 mobo should I buy?" threads. I picked up an i7 920, Asus P6T, and 6 gigs of Corsair 1600 ddr3 last night at Microcenter. I'm happy with the...

    Microsoft Takes Aim At Search Spammers

    I sent an email to Orbitz with the link and a message saying I don't approve of their indirect support for Spam. I spend probably $10,000 per year through them on airline tickets and hotels (some business, some personal), and I think it important they get the message that their customers...

    Going WS. Want some advice.

    No offense, but I'm halfway tempted to call you out for trolling. Of course dual 7800 GT's in SLI with a 4000+A64 and 2 gigs of RAM can support a 22 inch LCD. That would be like me asking if a core 2 duo E6600 with 3 gigs of RAM and an 8800 can play WoW...

    A couple of questions about my new Chimei Panel

    So I pulled the trigger today on a 22" TN Chimei panel from Microcenter ($269). I was looking heavily at the Samsung 226BW, but I came to the conclusion that none of the 22" TN panels are perfect, and I went by price, plus the Chimei panel gets great reviews. After a few hours with it, I can...

    pretty [H]ot! a decent radar detector for under $25 at Wally World (YMMV).

    This is flat out wrong. Unlike laser, radar is emitted from the radar gun as a cone. The cop points it at oncoming traffic, then checks the reading. The radar waves that bounce back from the car will tell him the speed. However, there are two issues involved. #1, the car is never going to...

    Possible HD: 160 GB Maxtor SATA 40$ no rebate.

    Yes. Problem is, sometimes they look online, and don't see it. But there must also be some sort of store inventory tracking system, because after a couple places told me they didn't have it, two different places were able to tell me the stores that did have it. So the answer is yes, at...

    Possible HD: 160 GB Maxtor SATA 40$ no rebate.

    Just picked up the last one at the Falls Church store in NOVA. I checked the DC and Arlington stores first (Arlington sold their last one today), none had any in stock. Getting the one from the Falls Church store was a PITA. FWIW, I was told the Maryland stores (New Carolton, Wheaton) still...

    Cable or DSL for on-line gaming ?

    If FIOS is available, you'd be crazy not to get it. It's cheaper than cable, and offers 15/2 speeds, which blows everythinge else out of the water. I'm considering trying to get 30/5, but will need them to negotiate on the price.

    Databases for Dummies? Help!

    Yeah, the database size is big (it's going to start with over 200 million, and we'll add more every quarter). However, I believe the data in it will be fairly limited/simple. We're only collecting like 30-50 pieces of data for each account. We know the data very well, and how each data...

    Databases for Dummies? Help!

    Ok, first, please keep in mind you're talking to someone who's pretty familiar with computer hardware, but not so much with software or coding. That is, I could probably configure a proxy server or definitely build a computer, but not write code in java or anything. Anyway, here's my problem...

    How long did it take to download the BF2 demo?

    I downloaded through fileplanet. I've been absolutely thrilled with the download speeds if you're a full member (I signed up last fall to get a bunch of the MMORPG demos). If you're into gaming, I figure the cost is less than a MMORPG subscription. I just got FIOS, and was averaging 15.3...
