    RAM divider i7 920

    I've OC'ed my 920 to 3.5ghz so far with a divider of 2:8 for 1600mhz RAM. Should I bump the divider up so I'm running my RAM at 1600mhz? I'm wanting to OC to 3.8ghz.

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    I use the Firefox search bar, I can't just keep a Bing tab because I frequently have <40 tabs open at any given time. I only quote search times as a whole, in a year this is how much extra time I spend etc. But you're right, in the end the loading time doesn't effect anything in a major way for...

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    FF3, Vista. I takes about 1 sec for Google to load, and almost 2 for Bing. If I were to add in my lost time due to bum search results from Bing, my number would be higher. If you have a really fast connection then the difference is negligible. Google is trying to be as snappy as possible on all...

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    A 2 second difference in loading time doesn't seem like much, but consider this: I do on average about 130 Google searches per day, if each search took just 2 seconds longer, (due to loading times, lack of relevance) I would spend an extra 13 hours per year (assuming just 300 days of searching...

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    A nice feature Firefox has is this, you can type just the name of a website in the address bar and it will do a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search in the background. And it seamlessly brings up the page you want 99% of the time.

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    I'm on 3Mbp/s DSL, I notice a difference. Google is still more relevant, for example the other day I searched for a way to limit the download speed on a Mac computer. Using the search string "limit internet speed osx" in Google, it gives me the answer in the second link down. I tried to find a...

    Crop Circle Predicts End of the World

    Yeah, the images are stunning. But seriously if this is the work of ET beings, why would they come to earth just to imprint funky images in fields? Nah, these are pranksters. Albeit talented pranksters.

    Anyone else like EVGA?

    I'm loving EVGA, I've had 2 EVGA mobos, and 4 EVGA GPUs. CS is excellent, never had a problem.

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    It's personal preference, I don't believe sticking with something you know works well equates to being afraid to try new things. I try every new thing I can get my hands on, some things stick, some don't. Bing just isn't good enough to supplant Google as my search tool yet.

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    It's search interface is cluttered, and a little slow compared to Google. And I don't see the same relevance in search results, especially when searching for more obscure items.

    Is Google Afraid of Bing?

    Bing is just a fresh name on a crappy product. I'll take good old Google thank you.

    Is this normal for a CPU?

    That is not normal, something is wrong with it. Send it back for RMA and hope you get an undamaged CPU back. It's hard to tell without being able to see it, but maybe the bot that was stamping the plate on dented in the edges.

    iTunes on windows 7, AMAZING!

    I like iTunes, I've used it on many slow computers without a problem. And now that I have a blazing fast rig, it's only gotten better.
