    Microsoft Annual Sales Drop For First Time in History

    Perspective: 14.57 billion in profit, (which is sick BTW) is still more than 99% of companies REVENUE. If 14.57 billion were REVENUE they would be #176 on the Fortune 500. There are 4 companies with more profit. EXXON CHEVRON GENERAL ELECTRIC JP MORGAN & CHASE They still have more...

    Razer Mamba Experiences

    Glad it helped. BTW, I noticed that sometimes my cursor was still tracking upward when not in use as if propelled by a mysterious force. This was an issue with v1.04 of the driver software. It is fixed in v1.07. The issue I was seeing was caused by fan vibration. A fan I have...

    Two programmers I know told me NOT to overclock...

    Fair enough. I think its the "Two programmers I know" thing that kind of sounds like mischief. Again I see their point, and for lots of people its probably not worth the trouble. It took me about two weeks to get my system rock stable on my particular board and to sort out some hardware...

    This is a definite troll topic.

    Two programmers I know told me NOT to overclock...

    Is what I am claiming not immediately evident in what I have written? For the benefit of your understanding, what I stated is that my overclocked x2 3800 will best a LOT of stock core 2's, maybe the entire duo range. But in your defense, the duo can be massively overclocked. However...

    Computer Freezing Intermittently - What's wrong?

    Having bad ram can cause all kinds of screwy things to happen to your computer. And what is "bad" may not mean non-functioning, but just poorly functioning. I learned this from overclocking some ram too much, it became poorly functioning. I purchased new, higher performance memory and it ran...

    Two programmers I know told me NOT to overclock...

    I have had my 3.5 year old AMD64 X2 3800 OC'ed the whole time I have owned it and it is faster than much of the "core" generation of chips that followed it. Look, you can't argue with making the processor faster, the gains are tremendous, sometimes as much as 30% in real world performance...

    Do you guys shut down or sleep at night?

    I shut my desktop down because its been running a 36% overclock on air for about 3 years and I sincerely am shocked at how stable it still is. Running windows RC7 has made the system feel new again. My notebook just goes to sleep after 30 min plugged in or not.

    Razer Mamba Experiences

    I am posting this as a reference for anyone with a bricked razer mamba. Overall I find that it is a good mouse, but I learned that it is also finicky. I purchased the Mamba from Amazon earlier this month and it came with old firmware, so I attempted to update it on Windows RC7 64. This...

    AMD Phenom II 955 (3.2 GHz) Benchmarks

    These graphs are from a review that used an OC'ed 940, not an actual 955. There are supposed to be other upgrades to the 955, like an enhanced memory controller, that will drive performance further than a simple overclock.

    Need to be educated on AMD P2 Black Edition

    I have decided to wait for the 955BE, I believe this processor will be a bargain for the money. I've managed to hit up AMD at their highpoints over the past decade and I think AM3 is going to be another highpoint. I want to ride this AM3 horse into the future and beyond!!!

    Need to be educated on AMD P2 Black Edition

    Hello, I am thinking about building a system around the Phenom 2 X4 940 Black Edition currently $214.99 at newegg. Am I a fool for even thinking about it? I have experience overclocking so I can do that. From what I hear, price performance is again pretty compelling on these AMD procs. Do...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Ok I probably shouldn't say "bad" reviews, rather, reviews (on newegg and elsewhere) that mention a couple of caveats such as poor text rendering and an unusually high number of units having issuess with panel uniformity. Just playing the devils advocate that would say, buy a solid monitor for...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    This monitor gets lots of bad reviews. Text fuzziness, and poor back lighting seem to be the major issues. Color accuracy on this particular panel according to test reports I have read is not as exceptional as one would hope, though it is very good. For $600 I wouldn't want to make any...
