    Bricked OCZ SSD, any ideas to fix it?

    Has anyone sent one of these red light of death / panic mode OCZ Vertexes to a data recovery service and have had success?

    T7200 vs T7400 vs T7600

    thanks everyone for your input, it's great to be able to get such fast and helpful responses here at [h]ard. yea, i knew about compatibility already, but it was a huge pain to look up all the info about socket m and 945 and core 2 duo stuff, so that link is a great timesaver. danke. i went...

    Asrock 939 dual. Daughter card cpu?

    The latest official processor the AM2CPU board supports is the Athlon X2 6400+, at 3.2GHz, I believe. I run a 5000+ BE at stock in mine. However, there is a sort of intermittent project going on at ocworkbench to mod the bios to support Phenom and Phenom IIs in it! There's a beta bios up but...

    T7200 vs T7400 vs T7600

    I'm looking to upgrade my older socket m dell with one of the intel t7x00 merom processors. To the best of my knowledge, they only differ in clock speed, with same everything else, including TDP (35W), bus speed (667mhz), cache size (4mb). It seems to me that the extra speed of the 7600...

    Nvidia's next "big bang" September

    i was just about to post that. let's get all the charlie disclaimers and hate out now: yes, he seems to be really biased to ATI and hates nvidia, but he seems to be right about this (and other things). and concerning the sli multi-monitor thing: if it works in quadro, then it should work in...

    What Are All You 8800GT Owners Doing?

    i don't own a 8800gt myself (i went from 3870 to 4850) but i have a friend who plays mostly WoW and TF2 but dabbles in the new games from time to time, plays at 1920x1200 and he told me that when he got the itch to upgrade he'd probably just get another 8800gt for cheap and sli. i hadn't thought...

    I did it, i chose the 4850

    exactly my thinking... i got mine at bb with 12% off (rewardzone) for 190 after tax

    How do we account for the review sites, listing the 4870 faster than the 280?

    ya, no one claims the 4870 is outright faster than the gtx 280. the only times i've seen it claimed for certain benches/games are at like 2560x1600 8xAA, where some sites have given numbers that it is. Given that the 4800 series seems to take little hit for 8xAA (MSAA), it seems plausible, but i...

    Why did you choose the 4850 over the 4870?

    the 150$ at BB was a nice coincidence when they had 25% off visiontek cards, and the 4850 came out then at 199, so it was reduced to 150. but that promotion is over now... =(

    ATI 3870 512MB Atomic/Toxic VS ATI 4850 512MB

    i'd go for the 4850 definitely. i have a 3870, not sure how much better than a 3850 it is...

    4870 @ the Egg

    that's what i'm saying man, it was supposed to be a paper launch but isn't one (to our benefit)! bad thing is ati gets a bad rap for supposedly not delivering, but they technically have 'til july 8... so we should all chill out when we don't find them in stock now... hopefully they'll get more...

    I'm very excited about the 4000 series but...

    yea, the OP at 1680x1050 probably won't see much of an incentive because 8800gt is plenty of power for that res. agree on the bump in AA you'll get if you do go 4800 series. i myself would love to get a 4870 since i want to run everything at 1900x1200, for which my current 3870 is not up to par...

    4870 @ the Egg

    well, i guess it technically is a paper launch... ATI launched it the 25 jun, but i think the 4870 was actually specified to be available July 8th, right? so paper launch was intended... So if we can actually buy it now... that's good? haha. a few quotes below, but if you search for it you can...
