Whatever. Mac elitists are elitists, and any type of elitist is an asshole. This survey surveyed the most elite of the mac elitists (it was at macworld, right? These are people paying money to hear what the prophet Jobs will let them buy soon). Maybe the mac people would describe some people...

Hmm... I've found a decent amount about this subject, but a lot of it is conflicting. There are many reports of 20 pin psu's working fine with the NF4 Ultra-D, despite the DFI-Street admin claiming that 20 pin psu's are a recipe for disaster. Something tells me that it is just a response to all...

Same here.... can't wait for the Battlestar Galactica and Forgotten Hope 2 mods. Good luck with your upgrade, whatever you decide to do.

Single core opteron wouldn't be a bad choice if you were planning to OC it, though the 3700 deal probably makes that a bit more cost effective. However, some games are getting dual thread patches (like Quake 4)... I've seen benches where the X2 3800+ was riding neck and neck with an FX-55 in...

Hi everyone. I have a DFI UT LanParty Ultra-D on the way, along with an Opteron 165 which I plan to overclock the hell out of. I also have a 7800GT on the way, so power consumption will be pretty high. The problem is that I have an Antec True 550 with a 20 pin motherboard power plug, if I...

Oops.. didn't see the post in the middle there describing the cards you've tried. Disregard question about chipset/codec. That's odd that it happened with the Audigy as well.

I get the static in BF2 too :( ... every sound gets a layer of static on top, no static when no sounds are playing. It also happens in Civ 4. I'm using nForce 2 Soundstorm sound with Dolby Digital encoding to Optical out.... do you know what you're using? I have another nForce 2 mobo from Asus...

I had a chance to talk with an Intel graphics engineer at a career fair, and he said that they were working on making integrated graphics that would compete with nVidia's low/mid range offerings. He seemed very excited by the idea, and seemed to say that large changes were on the horizon. Looks...
