Don't pull a Fox. Watch the report and all will be clear...

Bitches be crazy.... :D I have no respect for this individual. How, as a responsible journalist, can you comment about something you never researched or have no knowledge of? Just shows you the state of media in the US,

I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between the Striker Extreme or the P5N32-E other than the heatpipe setup.

Very, very wrong. You can't compare Intel to AMD when it comes to manufacturing capacity or capability. AMD isn't even in the same ballpark when it comes to the number of fabs Intel has or their track record when it comes to nailing manufacturing processes. Die shifts are one reason behind a...

I'm waiting for a faster response time...

They might be having problems securing panels or maybe whoever they're buying from is having manuf issues. Shame it isn't out yet. Starting a new job a week, be nice if I could pick one up and write it off while I'm still self-employed.

What's the response time on that thing?

Spread that over 200,000 - 300,000 machines and tell your investors its retarded. Margins are slimmer and slimmer in the tech industry, lot of this stuff is done out of necessity. What's on the other end? Layoffs and more cutbacks... so the product manager in me understands. Doesn't get much...

He was only trying to explain why you can't use DDR/DDR2 with AMD. Socket upgrades are a great way to ensure your revenue stream continues. Be interesting to see how DDR2 works out with AMD. Given the fact that AMD doesn't change sockets as much as Intel, I don't have an issue with an IMC.

Every OEM computer you buy these days has a ridiculous amount of bloatware on it. Why? It's an alternate revenue stream. I don't think that should come as a surprise, especially to folks at the [H]. That being said, as most others here, I either reformat OEM PCs or strip out all the crap...

Great way to expose yourself to some rather toxic chemicals. Best to avoid doing the first couple of weeks while your system burns in. You can never have too much cooling. I always use some Papst fans, wired to 7V, Thermalright XP120 HS and a 120mm fan should serve you fine.

I see n00b is an appropriate title for you. Memory controller alone dictates the need for a new architecture. New architecture doesn't guarantee earth shattering performance increases versus the competition. It does provide a platform to address future API, app and hardware needs. I, for...

Worst case... motherboard is PCI-E, buy a X600 and drop it in. Definitely worth it when you take into account performance, ergonomics and reliability.

Before you go out and buy another gig, reduce the resolution and figure out if you have stuttering at the lower resolution. If you do, could be drivers or several other things. If you don't, RAM might be the answer, but no one can say with any certainty.

Good post and all true. Except I'd rather look at the Pros and Cons :D It would be very shortsighted for ATI and nVIDIA to not release AGP versions because they are missing out on the biggest piece of the pie. Installed base of AGP is many orders of magnitude larger than PCI-E. ATI just...
