    AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 Ready by August

    If it is engineered correctly, it should remove the AA/AF bottlenecks at resolutions higher than 1080P, so, 24" + displays can actually use AA/AF without getting bogged down because it cant store all of the texture data in the cards ram like we are currently seeing with cards.

    AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 Ready by August

    If it is built more on the hyper-transport model than the crossfire link, every game probably will. Maybe some to a much lesser degree, but all games should benefit from it.

    AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 Ready by August

    Actually, there have been rumors and leaks referring to a redesigned switch that makes it act more like a hyper-transport connection than a Crossfire bridge, if thats true, it will be like a dual core processor sharing the same ram.

    Wireless Hospitals Systems Can Disrupt Med Devices

    Actually, RF is very much a Black Art, just like Electricity. We understand some of it, and know most of what they do, but we understand next to nothing about why they work, or why they do what they do. We can manipulate them, and attempt to control them, but we are really just children playing...

    Just Made the Swtich

    actually, anything you delete that comes in the base install can be reinstalled just by running the CD that came with the mac. pretty simple. And you can customize an install by selecting 'customize' during the install process off of the disk.

    You guys do know that the Penryn MBPs use the Santa Rosa chipset as well? the only difference is the processor itself. The rest of the system is pretty much the same.

    PC TECHS! What software tools do you run to fix a persons computer?

    Depends. If they know you charge 50 an hour, and they say "I dont want a reinstall", thats their problem, so long as you explain how long it could take. I dont mind spending 6 hours on a fix at that point. As for the guy wondering if there was anything else he could have done, you could have...

    Kids Are Failing, It's All Wikipedia's Fault!

    PornoSatan, most people are not saying wikipedia in and of itself is bad, but using the article AS A SOURCE, is bad. Sure, use it as a starting point, check the sources it links to , and go from there, but if your using Wikipedia articles themselves as a source, then your just being lazy.

    Crossover Games 7.0

    WINE just takes some configuration and optimization for your system, something that you need to do. That is a benefit of the commercial packages, they do that for you. Course, that also bloats the program a bit, but hey, whatever. I personally like customizing, so I'll stick with WINE until...

    Crossover Games 7.0

    Mac, not MAC, its not an acronym. second, you realize CrossOver games is just a commercial implementation of the WINE platform. Cedega is merely a derivative of WINE All three are essentially the same thing. The only real differences are interfaces and support. You get commercial support from...

    Blackberry (Bold?) vs. iPhone

    I think you mean AT&T in that second sentence.. Also If you notice the other phones in the smart phone market, most phones are above 300. Most HTC phones are 400-600 without a contract, same with blackberries. And your not getting nothing with that 10 dollar price increase, you are...

    Blackberry (Bold?) vs. iPhone

    No other carriers wanted to give them a piece of each contract. Which was a stupid thing for apple to be expecting. Also, i dont think any other carriers would sell them unsubsidized.

    I'm curious about a couple of things, first of all, lets build an imaginary setup to base questions off of. There is a small tech firm providing support, web/mail server hosting via VM, as well as full backups of clients systems, taken weekly. The web/mail servers in VM are in a dual quad...

    Itunes new computer/phone

    moving from one computer to the next is just connecting the two computers either with a transfer cable or connecting them over the network, if the two computers can see each other, you can move files between them. you can also use an external hard drive to transfer the itunes library.

    Blackberry (Bold?) vs. iPhone

    the iphone's browser is essentially Safari with zooming added too it. You get the entire webpage, not some mobile version of it, though you can still go to the mobile version of sites. It is exactly the same experience as it is on a desktop computer, on a much smaller screen. Gmail and...

    Itunes new computer/phone

    The first question, there is an option in itunes to consolidate the library. It will pull all of the songs from where ever you have them and store them in the itunes folder. Then you can just copy the itunes folder onto an external, or over the network from one computer to the other. as for the...

    i was just thinking the same thing.. He should at least have that mirrored.. if not grab a third 750 and raid 5 it.. I would never put a backup in raid 0 (actually, i would rather use raid 6.. but the last time i built an array, i was using 10+ drives, so I could handle using two drives for...

    Help me build NAS

    Well, any case with 3 or more 5.25" drive bays can easily hold 4 more 3.5" drives. Just get a 5.25" to 3.5" bay. I would say, just get a case with a bunch of 5.25" drive bays and switch them to 3.5s

    PC TECHS! What software tools do you run to fix a persons computer?

    that does work as well, at times, again, depends on what you have handing. I have enclosures kicking around, but no extra drives at the moment, so for me, that doesnt work well. And most of the time, It is quicker for me to just fix the problem rather than doing a backup and reinstalling on a...

    200 Dollar Cooling Challenge

    It would be very difficult to get a good liquid cooling setup that will beat a high-end air setup for under 200 dollars. push it to 300, and yeah, you can get a pretty amazing liquid setup for a single processor or a single processor and graphics card. If you want to try for a liquid setup, go...

    depends on how much data. I dont have any clients that have less than 100gb of pictures, or music, or movies. Most of my clients are artists in some way shape or form. Backups are a must for them. Im trying to setup a NAS at my house where i can store monthly backups for them as well, if they...
