    Why is it so hard to create an account here? It's turning a lot of people away.

    I've been subscribed to this forum for a while now and have always enjoyed it. I also spend a lot of time on reddit's /r/buildapc subreddit for advice and recommend people coming to hardforum to seek out advice as well. An overwhelming majority of users have stated that they've tried to make an...

    Pulling the trigger: 760(SLI) vs 770.

    Then why do people recommend a more expensive single GPU card than SLI'ing cheaper cards. SLIing provides better performance for less cost but I see it time and time again people recommending not SLIing and just spending all they can for a single card.

    Pulling the trigger: 760(SLI) vs 770.

    This seems like a good time to ask why people choose the more expensive single card than going SLI? According to that logic you would rather spend 1k on a titan than SLI 760's, no? What's the reasoning for this when SLI'ing 760's or even 770's that blow the single card out of the water for a lot...

    Putting together a gaming rig after quite a while

    Danny, can I ask why you did not recommend to "pro" series of the samsung 840? I use to see it recommended in every build to push for the pro series but now I don't see it anymore. Could you shed some light on this reasoning? Thanks.

    Monoprice 27in zero g 2560x1440 $339 + $15 shipping mass drop Updated price

    Sorry for the stupid question but why are people saying 4K TV's are going to be very cheap "around the corner"? They're not even mainstream yet, how can they be cheap when they first come out?

    Lol, no problem. That's what I figured you meant but then I held out hope that you were serious and I was about to get a new 680. Damn :(

    Advices for a new (Gaming) PC

    This may be a dumb question but why are you getting a 3470 for $240 when you can get a 3570k for $219? Gives you the option to overclock if you want and it's cheaper. Am I missing something here?

    Buy.com @ eBay: Samsung 840 256GB $140

    This is a really stupid question but I got my SanDisk Extreme 240 last July for $150 with average read/write being ~500MB/s, why haven't the prices for SSD's dropped much since then? New hardware/technology keeping the prices up?

    Out of the Loop - New Build ~$1000

    Could you explain a little bit why the Samsung Pro is so highly recommended around here for double the cost. Is it all about the bump from ~260 MB/s write to ~500 MB/s write?

    Why do you buy Apple products?

    Apple isn't leading in customer service and quality for no reason. Their products are great quality and work right out of the box while being so simple to use them. Although they are a little pricier, you are buying amazing quality and customer support, which is very hard to come by with any...

    2008 White MacBook with 240GB SanDisk Extreme SSD Slow Read/Write

    It's actually only a SATA I connection. Link and Negotiated Link Speed are both 1.5Gb/s. I am on Snow Leopard and have done the "hack" to get trim enabled. I really wish I had a SATA III computer around to try and test its full potential.

    Different Benchmarking Numbers Between W7 and OSX

    Which numbers are these and how can I tell of they are good or not for SATA I? I guess a better question would be does the fact I'm locked the SATA I limit the random read write speed or the fact I don't have ACHI?

    Different Benchmarking Numbers Between W7 and OSX

    Yeah I've seen those and they come at a cost, which sucks. Anyways of this drive is performing that fast I'm impressed. I was really put off seeing 120 on my Mac side because my old hard drive was around 80 so it wasn't really much of an improvement in my eyes.

    I'm using latest version of snow leopard and I have installed trim via a guys hack to get it running.
