the 150s aren't SATAII either (it really doesn't make a difference), but they are an update relative to the 74. I doubt there will be any more Raptors. There just isn't a need for them. Newer high capacity drives with extremely large caches can almost match their performance and SSDs will...

It was on the "Hot Deals" last week, now it's 365 not on sale. It will drop shortly everywhere as it already has in some places. Not everyone's pricing schedule changes at exactly the same instant as the vendor posts their new volume pricing. If you need one right now and want the best deal...

Because Intel JUST lowered the price this week on volume shipments. Newegg has a larger inventory than just about anyone, so they keep their prices in place a little longer. It'll drop soon.

it's about the same as the 320 for 95, so yeah

LOL No, Tom's not nearly this normal

W00T! Stuart!! Thanks for posting the series Kyle. Strange as it seems, the Stuart columns are what made HardOCP a regular stop for me. I was and still am a hardware enthusiast, but those quirky stories are what made me visit the site. Here we are 6 years later and Kyle and HardOCP are a...

...but a 37" monitor is perfectly acceptable. right.

I tend to look at it the other way. This appears to be a product with a limited lifespan. With 4+ core processors visible on the roadmap, I think it would make since to simply write the app to take those cores into account. Sure, you can play the game with 1 or 2 cores, but if you have 4 or...

Count me in as well! Just brought her home from UPS. YE FLIPPIN GODS this thing is HUGE! The ole 20 seems kinda insignificant. Gads, what a monster!

The short answer is that it isn't exactly easy to do. Now, for a slightly longer answer, but not too long. multiple core CPUs are fairly easy to link together. You use some sort of connector (crossbar, etc) and some memory scheme (shared, split, and so on) and figure out how to package it...

Not to mention that the standard is still not ratified. Sure, it probably won't change much, but that's why you aren't seeing any cards. It's a sad state of affairs.

Yeah, same goes for the 170. It's a dual core with 1mb a side for 400. Hard to beat given its overclockability. Many people have reached 2.8 and above. When you consider that it's two cores, an onboard memory controller, and a meg cache per core, that's one hell of a cpu for $400.

Yes it's a good deal. Is it the best deal you can make? Probably not, but if you look around for a good coupon or the right combo, you can probably knock a little bit off of that. Dell is undergoing a kit reset right now, so now's a good time to find a good deal. As for performance, it IS...

That's what I've been saying as well. I'm anxious to see the 2407 to see if it suffers from the same lag as the 244t.
