    Apple Dodged Paying Billions In Taxes, Subcommittee Says

    Then the companies would just move their "headquarters" out of the country. As an example of this kind of effect, just notice how many ships are registered in Panama.

    HD playback from Hard Drive.

    The only way to do it with newer versions (including 8) is to rip the disk to an ISO. Then you can mount it with Daemontools or equivalent.

    Commodore Rocks...Because I Said So

    He didn't just say they were 30% faster, he said they 30% faster using 3DMark as a benchmarking tool. Kyle asked for the specs and the test data and the guy essentially said "trust me". And since when is a number not quantitative?

    Cat 7.7 drivers released (7-19-07)

    I went from 81 fps in CS:S stress test to 61 fps. I ran it three times on each just to be sure. It also had some seemingly random jerkiness in places with 7.7

    Cat 7.7 drivers released (7-19-07)

    I took at 25% hit in CS:S. I thought they were supposed to get better, not worse?

    Radeon HD 2600XT 256MB PCI Express Video Card $106.99

    Kind of weird. It debuted on Newegg at $106, then it went out of stock with an expected stock date of 7/23. Then it disappeared from the site entirely. Then it reappeared yesterday A.M. at the $106 price in stock, now the price has been raised. I can only guess that they figure demand is so...

    ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT @ [H]

    I think that is a misunderstanding. According to many posts over at AVS, it works fine on XP. I think what was meant here was that the drivers do not currently work for the 64-bit version of Vista, not that it doesn't work on XP.

    Anyone know when NDA on HD2600 is up?

    I know they said "late June" but it's late June and there hasn't been a hint of anything.

    xfx credit

    If you're talking about the use of the word "credit" in the e-mail they send you after testing your card, it means they are going to replace your card. Been there, done that.

    Love your socket 754?

    If you're only doing HDTV and not getting into the HD-DVD/BluRay thing, your current rig (with a new proc of course) is plenty.

    OC'ing Athlon 3000; question about FSB/HTT

    Make sure when upping the frequency in clockgen to only click the increase arrow only 2-3times. I have a K8NE and I had to take very small bites to avoid lockup. I eventually made it to ~277MHz. I have the same processor as well.

    Problem after installing XFX 7600 GT Card, Need Help!

    Is it possible you accidentally selected the chipset drivers in DC and deleted them, causing your other issues? In DC, you only need to select "NVidia" and not "NForce" IIRC. And it is best to do it from safe mode. Also, if it is possible to set the integrated to "disabled" rather than "Auto"...

    What is up with XFX RMA!!! Not good!

    I'm not sure about "quite apparent", as this was certainly not my experience. The guys I talked to on the phone were very helpful and seemed to be trying very hard to accommodate my requests.

    X1900GT stolen!

    I know. It was just that several people have acted like this is a Fedex problem. I was just using your example to point out that it is a general problem.

    X1900GT stolen!

    Just so that everybody notes the story two posts up -- UPS does the same thing. Unless a signature is specifically requested by the shipper, either company will just leave it at the door. The best thing to do to avoid all of this is to make sure you can have it delivered to someplace where...
