Exactly. What you guys are missing is that this forum is a congregation for the minority. We are the guys who, fifty years ago, said "Who would ever buy a Japanese car? They're no fun, there's no soul." We are the guys who said hot-rodding would be around forever- it still exists, but it's a...

I know the mantra, that cursors kill performance. However, in this case the dataset is enormous- I have a table with dozens of rows, and another with millions or more and the current (production) process iterates through the multi-million recordset once for each of the dozens. I know exactly...

I've got my one, not that I needed it. $25 AR was too good to pass up. :) (And yes, I've done multi-rebate screw-ups successfully before. Multiple times.) Being stubborn is key. :p

Too much of a specialty part, they aren't mainstream. No volume=no sale.

"at participating Canadian resellers only", and all prices in CAD. Link is US.NCIX...

Where do you see a $10 rebate on the 620? It's showing at $50 for me.

Meh. 80 Plus Vanilla, to be expected from a 2008 model. If you need that much power, don't cheap out; if you don't, get a newer, higher-efficiency supply. (Link requires manual editing since NCIX is blocked by [H].)

IOU 1 local bump.

From the sole Newegg comment: "Cons: There's only one PCI-Express connector. This is not modular. It is not as quiet as I hoped. But it is not loud." For a 400W, Platinum-rated PSU to be anything above "so quiet, I forgot it was on" is unacceptable- I'm eager to find out which fan they used...

I wouldn't look at "attaching" it to the linen, but rather making a laminated version that you could sew onto the label. (Laminating to make it waterproof if it isn't already.)

Sorry about that, I thought I saw some mention of you in reference to the new AX1200i. Consider me properly shamed for my confusion. :( http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1039008000&postcount=14 Corsair? And if you can go into it, why such an emphatic response to the Antec "accusation"? :p

And currently of Antec, apparently...

I suspect that the 3GB version doesn't have this mixed-mode memory, and just doubles up on the optimal design that you'd see if NVIDIA had gone with a 1.5GB reference board. The performance difference going from 2GB reference to 3GB here will be HUGE in the 1.5-2GB texture range, if that's what...

FYI: HDMI port only does 720p, unlike Pi's 1080.

Returning a bump. :)
