    Intel blasts $100 laptop

    You couldn't sell that for $100. However, you COULD sell it for $200, and they'd sell in massive quantities. A 1GHz Pentium III is still quite snappy for everyday use. I know I would buy one. Also, the hand crank is a GREAT idea. Huge parts of the world have no central electricity. For...

    AGP is DEAD (agp r520 cancelled)

    Something's wrong when I have reason to sell my Socket 940 FX-53, a very solid performer. No one makes a decent Socket 940 PCIe motherboard. I'd have to sell my CPU (which is not worth as much as the performance would suggest), and replace it with a lesser Socket 939 CPU. That's bullshit...

    Dream PC 2005

    Drop the Raptors. Add a good SCSI card and pick up four Seagate Cheetah 148GB 15,000RPM; put them in a RAID 10. Also, if you want to overclock, cut down to a pair of 1GB Ballistix modules, since you're always limited by the slowest stick you get, and there's no use for 4GB ram anyway.

    How do get more RAM???

    You'll never get acceptable Doom 3 performance with a PCI video card. :( With a Radeon 8500, you *may* be able to run some older FPS games like UT2004, but Doom 3 is very demanding on a video card; the minimum to run it acceptably is a Radeon 9500, or maybe a GeForce Ti4600 or something...

    Strange things going on at ATI...or so it seems...

    Reminds me a little of 3dfx. :(

    X800 XL / XT vs. 6800 GT

    The X800XL and 6800GT are roughly even in performance. The X800XT performs substantially better than the other two due to increased clock speeds. I'm very happy with my All-in-Wonder X800XT.

    Extra PCI slots open or closed?

    Closed, for sure. Open PCI slots are dust magnets, and they detract from the general airflow of a case. If you need extra airflow for your graphics card, put a blowhole over it.

    Bang for buck system, Sempron?

    If you're really strapped for cash, a 3000+ is fine, too. Any Athlon64 can provide solid performance. Also, don't waste your cash on SLI. Cut back on the motherboard a little, and get a 6800nu, 6800GT, or an X800XL. SLI is really for people who want next-gen performance NOW, and it really...

    Problem with F.E.A.R demo, help please...

    It seems to me that the FEAR demo is poorly optimized, and full of memory issues. I'm running it on an A64 FX-53, 1GB of RAM, and an X800XT, and it stutters pretty badly above 1024x768. I'm sure that 2GB of RAM would help, but I really don't think it should be necessary with decently-tweaked...

    Queries about Pentium M/3 archietcture

    Regardless, I think Pentium M is a major step in the right direction for Intel. All we need now is a fully-featured modern chipset for the Pentium M.

    Queries about Pentium M/3 archietcture

    We was robbed. The initial buzz when P4 came out was that the architecture would stretch to 10GHz. The hype machine kicked into overdrive, and everyone picked up 1.5GHz P4s, just to learn they were slugs compared to their 1.26 and 1.4GHz Coppermine P3's. Pentium 4 was one miserable...

    Best card for a 3200+ XP system?

    I wouldn't sink too much cash into AGP at this point. Go with a 6800nu or something inexpensive, then buy a new PC in a year or so, when Socket M2 and DDR2 become the standard.

    All quiet on the ATI front

    I'm starting to think ATI's success was a flash in the pan; they've been milking one basic core design (R300) for 3 years now, and they can't come up with anything to beat nVidia. I guess they don't realize that making a lightning-fast card, which R520 is reported to be, does not matter if you...

    OMG, I Fried My 6600GT!

    Just out of curiosity, how do they determine if you fried it overclocking? It really looks like your 6600GT was toasted by a crappy power supply. Also, it is not prudent to overclock parts you can't replace. It is not prudent either to buy $150 cards for $250, but never mind that.
