    iPad Swapping out the Charge?

    A lot of people missed the point of this. You swap you iPad at the store for a new one immediately. Seems like a good deal really, as a new battery for a laptop is generally at least $100. This doesn't seem to be saying anything about defective batteries, just those that wear out over time...

    PS3 Quality Graphics in your Pocket in 3 Years

    Everyone is so pessimistic. I think it will be great to see that kind of improvement. If you consider PSP to have the best [pocket] portable graphics today, PS3 like graphics would be a hell of a step forward. Obviously, it is just marketing PR, but it would be cool still. The PSP is a...

    Class Action Suit Filed for ODD Price Fixing

    how is a dvd-rw for $30 or less price fixing? ODD's have been remarkably cheap for the past several years IMO.

    Why TCase higher than Core temp?

    The CPU Temp sensor is adjusted depending on the CPU installed on certain motherboards. I tested this extensively on a GIGABYTE p965 board. With the board out in the open, on a workbench, with an E8400 installed, the CPU temp was 10 C higher than with a E4300 installed. The temp was measured...

    Need advice on an upgrade.

    Not looking up any numbers here, but I remember when I got my GTX 280, it was supposedly "twice as fast" as the 9800X2. The GTX 295 is maybe 30% faster than a 280 on a large panel (1920x1200 or larger). The 5870 is closer in performance to the GTX 280/285, and the 5970 apparently is the...

    Why TCase higher than Core temp?

    I assume that by Tcase you are referring to the "CPU Temp" that you would see in the bios, or reported by a windows utility (like SpeedFan or HWMonitor) that pulls the value from the bios. Since you have a newer Core2Duo part, perhaps the calibration is not present in the BIOS for that chip...

    Which processor "guarantees" a 4ghz overclock?

    ZALMAN CNPS10X Flex CPU Cooler Review

    I would like to say thanks to [H] for the great reviews on everything. I do agree that it might be a nice addition to include the "core temperature" (or at least delta to TJunction) as reported in software like CoreTemp, RealTemp, HWMonitor, etc. All previously stated inaccuracies inherent to...

    New X-Fi Titanium Drivers for Vista x64 Cause Standby Problems

    Wow, I have had the same issue since getting a new x-fi card, and I couldn't figure out why it seemed "intermittent." I had replaced pci xtreme music with pcie titanium. Not sure if it is the pci-e versions, or just the new drivers (I had an older driver version with the other card)...
