Depending on the performance, I am thinking of buying one for a virtualization/cert rig.

I just bought a Thunderbolt for the very same reason. I plan on doing a lot of streaming. I doubt I will be able to afford it once its tiered out.

Well we will have to just disagree on that. I think tethering is the excuse, but streaming is by and large starting to dominate bandwidth concerns. There are many ways to stop tethering without instituting bandwidth caps.

You are arguing things "nobody_there" that I did not discuss. Using devices built for streaming and advertised as such is != using your mobile service for your home capacity. There are many good reasons to use it in its advertised form without even touching tethering. Say I am taking a trip...

My big problem with the them and other providers, is all the new features they are trying to sell on new phones are Bandwidth hogs. How are you going sell phones and tablets designed to output 1080p and then try and institute caps. Netflix was just the start, now even hbo has their own...

If was was trolling, I would have insulted you. Dual channel is about the pipes going to and from a memory bank. Before Dual channel systems we basically had 1 bank of memory which typically held up to 4 dims. With dual channel we have two banks each with its own dedicated pipe. What you seem...

I think your misunderstanding what dual channel is.

the coolness factor

I honestly do not see it. What I see is a lot of good indie games out there that are grabbing my money. So EA and Activision want to release crap, well I just buy cool/cheap indies. PC gaming is just changing is all. Despite all the talk about consoles, there is still money to be made in pc...

I like xfx because they have always been solid products when I bough them. I like the 6990 because of all the monitors I can run off one.

I like the all the features to make dust more managable.

I like the fact its a nice clean way to do water cooling, without all the mess.

I had a q6600 overclocked to 3 ghz and then moved to a 2600k. It was like night and day in some cases, in games my fps went up like 30% using a ati 5770. This is not a rigorous measurement of course. I did not think i was bottlenecked before, but I was. I think the q6600 is approaching end...

I just got mine up and running. I was tired of waiting so bought the gigabyte one. So far I am very pleased. its definitely better then my atom system. When 3+ terabyte drives become cheap this will definately be a contender to replace my NAS.

Was the n550 using a Broadcom Crystal HD video accelerator, because all the atoms I have toyed around with are horrid in flash. I do think however you under estimate the growing importance of graphics acceleration. Flash really is just the beginning not the end of its importance. Internet...

I was thinking ~200 for specifically netbooks. I have looked at the atom systems but I know my nephews and nieces. While they wont play top end games or do things as demanding as a hardcore user, the anemic graphics is just not up to the task. I am really looking forward to seeing amd...

I would really like it for a homeserver/nas and basic computer tasks. big things for me though are going to be linux support and cost. If i can buy a 200$ netbook with one of these, I would definitely buy them for my nieces and nephews to use for school

nothing

The moment I liked corsair memory was way back when I upgraded to a athlon xp. When I looked at the corsair it cost more the normal generic, but I had heard good things about it. Later on my friend asked me when was the last time I had needed to reinstalled windows and I could not remember. He...

blah blah something stupid

I visit the hotdeals forums for checking to see if any of the things I plan to buy are going for a cheap discount

this would give me an excuse to upgrade and give my old game system to my nephew. not a good excuse but it will work :O.

You missed my point greatly, so I will be more specific. Comparing gaming populations between PC and console on this game with one sample taking during working hours is greatly flawed. Why? because most PC gamers are older and work, ie they aren't taking a day off for just about any game...

ya because current players on a game just released taken during a workday reflects it success :O, much less PC gaming in general. Yep no money to be made on PC i mean just look at how few bought starcraft II.

please pick me :)

I could use a invite as well if anyone has one my email is chester.moon at gmail dot com

why spend money to protect people, when they are doing something outside the scope of their warranty. It makes no sense for intel.

I used to hate the seals from the original halflife. I dreaded everytime i fought them

I have downloaded a few off of emule, however I never have actually been infected by one. I try never to run any executables and do not click attachments.

me and two guys from work recently upgraded. me and the other gamer got a q6600 and overclocked. The non gamer got a 8400@stock. At the end of the day we were all happy with what we got. I think thats the most important thing when you do a upgrade. If you buy either for your upgrade, I...

lol thats the truth. the christmas before last I ordered a mp3 player from them. When I got the package it was empty with a hole covered in tape on it. When I contacted their customer service they said they had talked to UPS and that the shipping weight equaled the delivery weight. So I...

I have been thinking about this question myself, for my own upgrade. For me it really comes down to upgrade cycle vs future games. IIRC supreme commander is the only current game that takes advantage QC, however future games like alan wake will be increasingly able to take advantage of those...

thanks for posting that article man. It was very informative to me.

I got vista on my desktop because it was free. Honestly going forward the only reason I will buy vista over xp is the memory limit. For my laptop I use ubuntu and xp in a virtual machine. I really do not see anything so great about vista that I want to get it. I used to think it would need...

I have been looking into grad programs too. From what I have learned is they are all basically the same thing, with just nuances on the naming. Like for example, I was looking at UC Berkeley and they have a masters in information, however you can get it with a emphasis on information...

If that is your case I suggest you do either one of two things. You can do a dell install or you can go to the ubuntu forums and see what hardware options can create issues with ubuntu. here is a thread I found on their forums regarding the xps 1330, I am sure with a little more searching...

I just ordered a xps 1330. I considered getting ubuntu preinstalled, however when looking at the ubuntu section I realized they limited the options I could select and the prices seemed a bit higher. I ended up buying it from the dell outlet. I do recall they did not offer a dual-boot option...

I want it!

I really do not see whats wrong with the conviction. She had a horrible case and should of been convicted. There is a big difference between someone that can prove ID theft or being hacked, then her. From the sounds of it all the evidence pointed straight at her. Whether you agree or...

ya I noticed that, but i was hoping for some real world benches. Does not matter much now though. I will get all I can handle Monday.
