How is that not like any and every other OEMs out there?:confused:

Links in my previous post, though it was not the original article I read (because I remember the picture used). It was a LONG time ago, when Google was still rocketing post-IPO. The gist of it, iirc, was not that enterprise drives weren't better but that they weren't better given the cost...

There was an article detailing Google's tech infrastructure, and how they used consummer-grade hard drives for storage (raided of course) because they didn't detect any significant price/performance advantage to go enterprise. Edit: I think it's this...

Got mine today. A02 Jan 2012 from China. Pretty decent, though my WPF2007 seems to have better color.

How do you get your tracking number? Dell's order page is a mess :mad: Edit: Found it. How do you delete a post?

Odd :confused: Mine shipped the next day.

Thanks for the heads-up! Impulse-shopping at its worst. Oh my wallet!

Doh!:eek:

Man, I so regretted not getting the 2209WA :(

275 and I would've pulled the trigger, probably for 2!

Copied and kept in a txt file: Right now I'm in Preset > Custom Color with Red>96, Green>93, and Blue>87 @ brightness of 45 and contrast of 75. This seems to match the white up to my NEC and the rest of the colors look decent as well, just looking at test images.

Imo you'd be better "balanced" if you have 1x 6950 and less of a penny-pinching monitor. I'm not saying that 400$ is too little. I'm just saying that you need to loosen up the budget limit on the monitor requirement, because I don't see how 2 6950s will get "pushed" much with a 24/27" monitor.

Feels off. You have 2x6950s (over 400$ for GPU alone), yet you're not laying out more than 400$ for a monitor?

What are 10e's settings? I wish this type of info would go in a wiki or the first post, I'm setting up 4 of these babies as soon as I receive them.

So it only works for GTA? Dayum another thing to add to the "Montreal is jealous" thread...

Looking for a decent discount too. Since it's Dell, you know it's bound to come down sooner than later.

Wow, I somehow wish I could unread this thread. The tech industry will miss him.

What's the lowest CDN price people got, if anyone was following religiously? (not reading 43 pages of posts)

Anyone know what monitor they use for Valve's Dota2 tourney? They looked sweet.

Ewww, non-detachable cable? :(

Where? Can you post the url? Edit: Doh, can't believe I missed this deal :( Oh well, I already have the 2007WFP which has the same resolution, but damn :(

Decided to test it out over the weekend, nice to see how seamless the process is. Thanks for the info though!

Thanks!

Anyone played Starcraft 2 on the latest drivers with the hotfix? When I'm protoss, the area of effect of pylons appear on the low ground, thus invisible whenever I'm on high ground

I rotated the ram, only to find out that I probably mis-inserted one of the chips (though how did Windows see it?) I couldn't easily access the HSF, and it being the U12P, there's a bunch of screws to unfit. So far it's showing 8gb, hope it remains that way. Thanks anyways though! I...

New rig (in signature) with the Gigabyte 6850 that diverges from the reference design (2 fan). Overall not as quiet as I hoped, but not too shabby.

Sorry if this has been addressed, but I did a search and couldn't find it. Basically, we are 2 people playing sc2 in this house and I just finished building my new comp. Are there any router and/or game settings I need to do to be able to play together? (AT) Thanks in advance

Has anything been found on this? I just set up a new PC, with 2x4GB ripjaws, but see 8gb (4 usable) in win7. I have basically the same problem as the OP (aside from the # of sticks)

Couldn't you have paid for a 6870 instead? :eek:

Dammit the Gigabyte dual-fan models aren't on the canadian site :(

You're forgetting one factor though: Price. If the 460 1gb underperforms a 6850 for the same price, but can match it with an overclock, why not just get a 6850 in the first place? That's my argument. And yes, I am looking at 6850/GTX460 1GB price range. I want to limit myself to a ~200$ card.

maybe but oc-ing adds heat and power draw. I'd rather have matching performance on stock rather-quiet settings.

3 more days NDA is the 22nd apparently

22 is the new 18 :p

Hope someone will pull out a dual-fan design like the Gigabyte GTX 460

Past midnight, no flood of reviews. Guess it wasn't the 18th.

I'm not saying that you can run SC2 with a 2mb vga graphics card from the Pentium 1 era. I'm saying that the CPU can bottleneck SC2 a lot faster than it would an FPS game. Another thread on this: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036281319

Next Friday now? damn :( Have a reduced GTX460 1GB in my cart that expires Wednesday (++++ Canada) I hoped the reviews would pop on Monday.

Indeed, SC2 is known to tax the CPU (being a strategy game and all) more than the GPU (who are more taxed by the FPS genre) If SC2 is the only game you want, then I'd suggest going for something less than a GTX460 1gb and spend the spare cash on a CPU upgrade.

The nearest competitor won't add 50% to the MSRP, or at least won't sustain that price for too long.
