Actually, you can use a regular RE drive in non-RAID applications. The only caveat that you'll face is the drive will only spend up to seven seconds attempting to recover data from a bad sector. Regular desktop (SE) drives spend up to several minutes attempting to recover data from bad...
I remember hearing rumors about this over six months ago. The latency issues of DDR-2 amongst others is a real deal-killer for AMD. G-DDR3 looks like where AMD will probably take its future processors, however official memory standards need to be hammered out as well as general memory pricing...
I run at 1366x768. If there is any blur, it's probably because that photo was a 1/4-second exposure in a dimly-lit room (hence the orange tint). I tried using the flash but I got a huge glare strobe in the lower left corner of the monitor when I did that.
No, I actually sit about 3-4 feet away from it most of the time. It totally changed how I used my computer. I don't sit in front of my machine and type away, now I lay back in an office chair and put my feet up on the keyboard tray :D
About the desk: I think I got it from Staples back in...
I bought the same thing for my LCD TV. Works great as it comes with a spray bottle of cleaning solution and a pretty big cleaning cloth. At work I got a set of microfibre cloths and a Kensington LCD cleaner. I think Staples sells it for pretty cheap--it works creat for cleaning laptops!
Hope this works: Sharp LC-37G4U LCD HDTV. I have a Shuttle SN45G hidden behind it but I'm thinking about replacing it with a Mac mini. That would only be slightly larger than the audio control of my Klipsch 5.1 Ultra speakers.
BFG 6800 GT with the reference heatsink. I've been running mine with the Leadtek Ultra bios since the middle of July. Mine idles at 53C and about 82-84C under load.
That's not a bad idea and I poured over that suggestion a lot several months ago. I came to the same conclusion that I did about the SN95G5 - sure it's faster but my games still look the same. Yes I know it's $60-100 for the chip vs a whole new system with the SN95G5 but if I wait a little bit...
OK, I reread the article where I had originally got my information. If this information is correct then it looks like the upcomming dual core processors will share a single memory controller (I had thought it was two).
Go here for Overclockers.com impression of that same article.
That...
Socket 939/940 dual cores will basically be a dual processor setup with only one chip that has direct access to the memory. Actually we already have this now as some of the early dual processor Opteron motherboards featured that limitation. Performance wasn't hit that bad but at least it...
There are fixes but mainly it is because the nVIDIA drivers forcefully adhere to the EDID and its' limitations. I've received some feedback from some people at nVIDIA and they said that MS requires them to utilize the EDID data if they want to pass WHQL certification. Don't know if it's true...
I too am waiting for SFF 939 + PCIe. I'm currently running a Shuttle SN45Gv1 with a Barton 2500+ @ 2000MHz and a GeForce 6800GT (ultra bios). I would get a nice speed boost if I upgraded to a SN95G5, however since I'd be running the same video card, my video games would be faster but they...
I've used a Sharp LC-37G4U for about three months now and the only problem I had was that it took a lot of work getting it to display at it's native resolution on nVIDIA cards. Other than that it works like a dream. :)
