    RIM Unveils iPad Competitor

    Hopefully RIM will release a 10" version in the near future, but 7" is nice because it is so portable. I'm anxious to play with the new QNX OS, once RIM has a radio stack this will be the OS for the future.

    Help, AM2/Nforce4 motherboard won't POST with Radeon 5750 installed

    Yeah, a lot of the older motherboards have problems with 5 series cards. If you're running the latest BIOS and it's no-go then there isn't anything you can do. You *could* return the card, or just get a new motherboard. AM2+ boards can be had for under $50 these days...

    Please try again at a later time

    I left my flash drive at home and had to download drivers earlier - I got the same message. I did get the drivers from somewhere else, but thanks, nVidia!

    Does AMD have a response to the 3D craze?

    The visuals in Avatar were great - it really was an 'experience,' even with the silly glasses. Seeing a couple of films in the theatre is OK with glasses, but is something that would be unforgivable at home. The wost part about Avatar was technical - there was damage on the screen that stood...

    Patriot Memory's Box Office Media Player Review @ [H]

    ** NONE ** of these devices are for the non-enthusiast types. The Western Digital media players seem to be the best of the lot (just don't update the firmware on the WD TV Live) but none of them are really great. Anything with a network port doesn't seem to work well if you're not connecting...

    Nvidia delays Fermi to March 2010, new chip speculation.

    The 'fact' is that we don't know any facts, which is highly unusual for nVidia. Since you want to eat the pudding, you'll need this...

    Nvidia delays Fermi to March 2010, new chip speculation.

    You know that nVidia is no longer making chipsets, right? nVidia hasn't made a good chipset since the nForce4 (my ASUS A8N-SLI Premium based PC is now my HTPC) so nobody really cares. Anyone who bought a nForce based Intel system lived to regret their purchase - thanks Bumpgate. Tegra is a...

    5xxx cards who's NOT having problem.

    Sapphire 5850 here, 9.12s, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - bought the card the first day it was available. No problems other than glitches in the initial driver (which was expected).

    Voodoo and Voodoo 2 price?

    As I recall, I paid $179 for my 4MB Voodoo (Diamond Monster 3D). I wonder what that would be in today's dollars?

    4890s getting no love!

    Why would you not want a DX11 card? Just because there is little support for it now doesn't mean there won't be.

    O 5800, 5800, Wherefor Art Thou 5800?

    I'm losing money because AMD can't ship enough 57xx and 58xx series cards. AMD just has to do better, this is turning into a real fiasco.

    5850... Problems with WinXP?

    If you're running XP then it's time to move to 7 anyway.

    DX11 - will it actually matter?

    This is Microsoft we're talking about, right? ;)
