    4870 x2 vs 2 gtx 260 Sli/285 ?

    I always find item 4 to be an interesting point. Yes, nVidia were numbskulls and attempted to do something that seemed dishonest. But any company put into a position like nVidia was where they had a clearly better product, and the consumer responded by making them the market leader by buying...

    Windows 7 System Requirements

    I've ran Windows 7 on many different hardware configurations and let me say this, I'm seriously wanting to cry foul on these 'minimum' requirements. I had issues with Windows 7 on older, DirectX 9 compatible graphics cards, even after disabling Aero. A video card even as recent as a 6800 GT...

    260 vs 285 SLI - Which to choose?

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'm gonna go the single GTX 285 route for now and when necessary look into adding a second one. Thanks!

    260 vs 285 SLI - Which to choose?

    What about the option of getting one 285 now and another later when prices drop? Still think 2x260's is a better option?

    260 vs 285 SLI - Which to choose?

    I've been beating my head against a wall for the past few days trying to decide between two 260 GTX or two 285 GTX for a new build I've got going on. I've seen Hot Deals for the 216 core 260's the past few days where I can get both cards for about $360 whereas the 285's are running about $325...

    Apple Secures Multitouch Technology Patent

    Call me crazy, but I'm getting an urge to patent the 'I used Charmin to wipe my bum' motion.

    Circuit City to Shut Down

    Looks like that management decision to layoff experienced employees for lower paid ones back in 2007 really worked out. :rolleyes: I personally hated going to Circuit City stores after that decision was made. I always felt like I was walking into a fast food restaurant, not a high dollar...

    WD 640g needed a partition to install vista for the first time??

    When you're saying it wasn't recognized, do you mean it just wasn't showing up in the list of available drives during Vista setup? Did you try and load any drivers for the device it was connected to (motherboard, raid controller, etc)? I've had issues myself on SB750 systems where if I don't...

    iTunes DRM-Free Upgrade: Full Price, All or Nothing

    In some ways I really like Apple; but when it comes down to creative ways for a company to nickle and dime you, they are the King. I still haven't paid the $9.99 to upgrade my iPod touch to version 2 of the software. And now they want to charge me for this? Pfft.

    Resolution: Switching to Linux for a Week

    I didn't get that impression at all. He sounds like an average joe that knows enough about computers to get himself into trouble with Linux. But to each his own. :)

    Resolution: Switching to Linux for a Week

    Sorry, but I disagree. The average computer user knows nothing about boot loaders, partitions (active or otherwise), and many other basic concepts us computer geeks take for granted. Most people can't navigate through a DOS like interface to save their lives. This is one of the primary reasons...

    Resolution: Switching to Linux for a Week

    I do try Linux pretty regularly. The Live CD's are awesome but still so many issues. I'll be giving it a try again in the next month or two.
