Actually it is. If you looked at the leaked roadmap for the HD7000 series that has just came out AMD clearly intends for the 7950 to succeed the 6950. This is why people are having issues with the price I imagine. You are succeeding a ~$300 video card from last generation with a ~$450 card...

My biggest dig against the Kindle is the lack of ePub support. The eBook market is definitly in its infancy right now but at least the publishers have standardized a format so you aren't locked into one device which is a plus. The other nice bonus I like about the Sony Reader is I can check...

In English as far as I know you us "an" whenever the following word begins with a vowel, an h that is not pronounced. As far as acronyms its based off of how it sounds like you suggested. If when you say it it sounds like a vowel starts it then yes you use "an" so let say you MRI well you...

I couldn't get mine to work either...and then when I went to go check the wire connections I noticed that I could not get the network cable to "lock" into the plug and it was not all the way in. Maybe this is the case for you as well?

Not making it any easier :-p

Darn it I just installed my motherboard. Oh well besides looking cool (Which I don't have a window so it matter less) I doubt I need a nForce 200 chipset I just need to resist that Heatsink thats all............its....so....shiny......

Yup I thought that too...PII=Pentium II

Q6600 - $189 4gb Crucial Ram - $55 Gigabyte Mobo - $115 Sapphire 4870 - $200 Total - $564 With the money saved from not wasting money on a Phenom II DDR2 system (Because an AM3 system will cost just as much as an intel i7 system when it comes out) you can even afford a better graphics...

Must have been at the end of its lifeline it was a fortune when i was buying sticks fo 512mb I was paying like $150 for a 1gb 2x512mb. Thats was when I built my Athlon 64 3500+. But that was like 3 years ago I don't think prices will change quite that much in a year. Regardless the cost of...

uhhhh Lets fix that shall we Intel: 478, 775, 1366 (And 478 was already out by that time but I am throwig a bone here) AMD: 754, 940, 939, AM2, AM2+ (And soon socket AM3) if you want to compare servers then: Intel 604, 771 AMD 940, F But since we are discussing desktop processors and...

When people were buying DDR ram most people were using 1gb set ups. And by the time you needed 2gb you either bought two more sticks of 512mb or you were moving onto DDR2 which the 1gb sticks were cheap. 1gb DDR 400 ram was prohibitively expensive at the time and you wanted dual channel...

Except a Core 2 platform is cheaper not the same price. And as for your selling memory arguement I got 8 sticks of DDR400 ram that disagree with you. I can't give those suckers away if I tried let alone sell them. New ones sell for like $10 on the egg I am sure used is a fraction of that...

I stand dorrected I was reading the Guru3D articel it was talking about AM3 processors being able to work in a 780/790 board I thought the Phenom II was an AM3 processor and thus figured that it would only work int hsoe boards as well. It looks liek it will need to support AM2 and be on the...

Unfortuantly they need to do a lot better then this. keeping a current small base of customers happy is not helping them. I mean you need to have a 780/790 board in order to even use a phenom II so they already cut down their existing market. Thats not going to do anything for them. If you...

Yes. Thats how AMD got to where they were witht he Athlon 64 line by thinking outside the box and improving and Intel just couldn't keep up. Users have hardly any brand loyalty really the extreme loyal people are the tiniest user base. Most people jump ships if somethign better faster comes...
