    Less time in front of PC = Ipod Touch ?

    I love my iPod Touch, it's a pretty good music player (not best) and the number of apps it can run is amazing. I'd love to own the iPhone but I absolutely refuse to give money to ATT if I can at all help it.

    Zune Ad Kicks The iPod in The Money Bags

    I see the problem that people have with losing some of their music if their subscription ends. However, I'd gladly subscribe as that's how I try out new music. If I like it, I'll buy it. Otherwise I'd just wipe it off the player and download something else. If it were just a subscription and...

    Zune Ad Kicks The iPod in The Money Bags

    I really like Amazon's MP3 store as well. I follow them on Twitter and they'll occasionally have good deal of the day. I'll be heading there after work to pick up that The Crystal Method album. I have the iPod Touch and I'll agree with a previous poster, all of the applications and programs...

    XFX Radeon 4890 consistent ticking sound.

    I've got the same card. It makes a squealing sound when benchmarking via ATITools but no ticking sound.

    partition program for vista 64bit

    I know this post is old but just wanted to update that 0.4.4-1 works just fine on my vista 64-bit OS. The stupid built in partition manager would only let me split my 1TB drive in half. I now have it set up as 300GB OS and the rest Games. I was very, very generous with the OS partition but I...

    MEMTEST*? and core i7

    I'll second with memtest86 not working with i7. I tried it on my 920, I have 6GB of OCZ Plat. (1600MHz) and it froze once at 7% and the second time it wouldn't start. I ran memtest86+ v2.11 and it ran like a charm.

    Megahalems installation question/concern

    I was using Large FFT's and 8 workers so that might be why my temps were higher but I'll see how they are running the same setup as yours. Also, running Prime95 for 12 hours, everything ran fine and temps stayed in the mid to high 60's. I know some people recommend 24 hrs but I want to test...

    Megahalems installation question/concern

    Well, so far so good I suppose. At idle it's around 40 (+/- 2-3) and I used Prime95 to stress it a little and it got to about 60. Now I haven't put everything in the case yet (CM HAF 932). I have it on a test bench so I'm not sure how the temps will be once I have everything in there. I'm...

    Megahalems installation question/concern

    A little update, I went ahead and installed the heatsink and fan (had two but the mobo won't let me install two) and it appears to be secure. I guess it's just pretty loose until everything is installed. Once I get everything up and running I'll post temps.

    Megahalems installation question/concern

    So I just received the parts for my new computer in the mail and am working on installing the prolimatech megahalems. Well, at least the bracket. My concern is when I started attaching the backplate to the motherboard. I screwed in the shorter end of the double end stud to the backplate...

    Aftermarket cooler for 4890

    That thermalright T-rad2 won't fit the 4980..at least that's what they say (may fit unofficially): http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/vga/vga_page/trad2-Attached%20file%201-Graphics%20cards%20Compatibility%20List.html Scroll to the bottom, says they have one coming soon.

    One Heat Sink Fan or Two?

    Well, I bought two fans to go with it as I read a review showing good numbers with two. The review, however, didn't show the difference if only one was installed but probably only a degree or two anyways. I'll probably just install one at first and if the temps look good I may or may not...

    One Heat Sink Fan or Two?

    Another thing I've seen is how to mount the heatsink. Most places show the broad side of the heatsink facing the back. However, I've heard some people have it facing up (since they have a top-mounted fan). Would it really matter either way? I have the CM HAF932 and figure the 240(230?)mm fan...

    Deciding on a new video card

    I'm definitely aware they are different monsters. It's just at first I wanted to get the best card out there (which varies by who you talk to) but then I realized that I probably don't need something that powerful based off of what I want to do, hence the post. I'm not really on a budget...

    Deciding on a new video card

    The more I think about it, the better the 4890 would work for me I think. I'd love to get the 295 but the cost concerns me a little. If I get the 4890 for around 220-230 (less than half of the 295), I could then upgrade to one of the newer cards coming out down the road...or pick up a 295 when...
