Coolaler.com has an early look with some benchmarks with an engineering sample of an Intel Penryn X9000 cpu. It is a 2.8GHz part and includes 6mb cache, 800mhz bus, and is made on the 45nm process. Original Chinese Translated to English

Hello everyone! Well, my buddy is ready to upgrade from his old rig (3.2GHz Northwood P4, 1GB DDR-333, BFG 7800GS AGP, etc.), and is willing to spend around $700, though he said he's willing to go a little higher if needed (MAYBE $100, but he'd rather not). He already has the hard drives, the...

Hello all. I currently own an XPS Gen 2. I was under the impression that the Gen 2 supported SATA-150 hard drives, so I purchased a new Hitachi 200GB 7200RPM SATA-150 2.5" hard drive for it. But, upon cloning my old stock 100GB 7200RPM Hitachi, I discovered that it was ATA/IDE with some sort of...

Wow. I was looking around for a high capacity non-RAID external hard drive (my 300GB Maxtor One-Touch II has reached it's capacity), and came across this smokin' (IMHO) deal at Provantage.com It's an Iomega Professional Silver Series 750GB Triple Interface External (8mb buffer, 7200rpm) drive...

OK, so I priced this rig out, looking online for the best possible deals I could find at at least semi-reputable online places. Please give your opinion on any inconsistencies, any incompatibilities, or any better deals/suggestions you may have. Obviously, the CPU wouldn't be bought until the...

My first Hot Deal post. Got this in an e-mail from ClubIT.com. They had other C2D's, but the E6600 was a pretty good deal. INTEL E6600 Core 2 Duo Processor 2.40Ghz 4MB S775 Retail...

I was bored in class (yes, I said in class...), so I decided to put together the ultimate computer for $4000 and under. It's from my own perspective, but I am a total nerd and actually do one of these every few months or so as a "what if" that I can drool over. Anyways, it's all in fun, and...

I'm looking to spend no more than $70/shipped on a new, nearly-new, or just plain scuff-free LCD monitor that is 17" or larger and has a refresh rate of 16ms or less (AKA good for gaming). The brand should be recognizeable (eg. Dell, Acer, NEC, HP, etcetera), but that isn't really THAT...

OK guys, I am reposting this from a long time ago along with some other stuff I want to get rid of: ----------------------------------------------------- 1 - Dell/nVidia GeForce Go 6800 Ultra. This card...

I'm just curious, I keep seeing these roadmaps with desktop GPU's, but what about mobile GPU's? I am a laptop man, and I am most likely dumping my iXPS Gen 2 once I can get my hands on a Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo laptop when they come out (2Q '07). Now, this is right around the "normal" 6-month...

I come along and tout drivers every once in a great while when a certain one is good enough to motivate me to post about it here. Well, the time has come, and that great new driver is 93.71, made even better by Tweaksrus.com and their XTreme-G series. Take a look HERE for the MobileForce...

My question is: if desktops are ramping up their cores so quickly with quad-core and even dual quad-core processors appearing soon, why are we to be stuck at "only" dual-core for notebooks for so long? As far as I have seen from my own "research" is that notebooks will be stuck at dual-core...

1 - Dell/nVidia GeForce Go 6800 Ultra. This card was pulled from my Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2. It was a replacement card, as the first one that came with the laptop originally was defective, and was used for about 3 months. I bought a 7800GTX Go and popped that baby in, so I have no use for the...

This card was pulled from my Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2. It was a replacement card, as the first one that came with the laptop originally was defective, and was used for about 3 months. I just bought a 7800GTX Go and popped that baby in, so I have no use for the Go 6800 Ultra. It is revision A01...

Hello all! My buddy has a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 Northwood witht he 800MHz bus and is Socket 478. My question is: Is it worth it to buy a (around) 3.2GHz processor upgrade? And if it IS worth it, should I stick with the Northwood, or will 3.2GHz be enough to show the Prescott's strength...

My buddy would STILL be on his GeForce MX if it wasn't for me, LOL! Awhile ago, I helped him pay for a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT for $140 shipped (it was an AMAZING deal at the time), and he still has AGP, but is looking to upgrade, as F.E.A.R. and such has brought his system to its knees (it is...

Hey all! Well, let me start off by saying I have been a Mac guy for my entire life, though I know how to use PC's just as well, and think it is about time to build my own PC. And yes, I know what I am doing... For the last couple years or so, I occasionally (read: monthly-to-bi-monthly) go...
