    Can you list reasons why Windows 8 is bad other than UI?

    Software can "support" something and still have bugs right? The fact that one DPC latency measuring tool had a bug with the way it operated under Win8 increases the likelihood that *other* DPC latency measuring tools will have similar bugs that may not have been fixed yet. This is the point...

    NVIDIA Kepler GeForce GTX 680 Video Card Review @ [H]ardOCP

    This makes it sound like it will be a while before we see a midrange kepler card. Really want to know what they plan to offer in the $300-$400 range. The 680 is just so much overkill for us 1080p people. I wonder if we can get a carefully-worded, NDA-safe comment from someone in the know... ;)

    Source upgrade: Xonar vs Fiio

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! Sounds like the Xonar DX is the better piece of equipment for me.

    Source upgrade: Xonar vs Fiio

    Hello [H] audio folks, I'm in need of an audio source upgrade, so I've come to seek your opinions and expertise. I've got some M-Audio AV40s and a pair of Sennheiser HD555s. I believe I've narrowed my search down to either the Xonar DX card or the Fiio e10 USB dac/amp, the prices of which are...

    Anyone see a problem with this layout?

    Well a quick google shows that the DAP-1522 is actually a bridge/AP, not a router. It doesn't have a WAN port, but that's actually good. However... 1) I assume these systems are running Windows. Windows doesn't have built-in NIC teaming. 2) The killer NIC probably doesn't do NIC...

    NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX Pictures

    You know something is wrong when people need to say something like that... Seriously though, with the BFG 8800GTX available for $370 (or $320 after rebate), the 9800GTX will really need to do some magic in performance or price to be worthwhile.

    External harddrive/music/network question. (Not sure which board it belongs in.)

    Check out the NSLU2 from Linksys: http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Product_C2%26cid%3D1118334819312&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2 I personally don't have one, but I have a couple of friends...

    Can I use DDR 266mhz in a system that takes PC-133?

    I'd recommend using www.crucial.com. On the front page they have a "memory advisor tool" with an extensive list of makes/models. It should be able to tell you exactly what your optiplex needs. Their prices usually aren't the best, but at least you can find out exactly what your system's...
