    Hype about Apple Pay

    I also have a Chase Freedom card, and have just done extensive googling trying to find a support document that says anything about how they handle the Google Wallet passthrough credit card. Nothing. Did find this interesting blurb on Venturebeat. Sounds like a horrible system that I wouldn't...

    iPhone Pre-order

    I assume you arent using the JUMP program to finance? Since they are prioritizing them over their other customers... Sounds assholish to me.

    Hype about Apple Pay

    google wallet is free. That 2.9% fee is for sending someone a cash advance on credit card. No first hand experience, but per their documentation, Google Wallet is far less transparent. You may get neither cash back, nor insurance...

    Advice needed on new parts

    Uhhh your system is pretty high end already, not much you can do to upgrade that's cost effective... Care to be more specific? What game(s)? Most modern games only use the harddrive when loading. After that it nearly plays entirely from RAM. Maybe a large open game like Fallout3 uses...

    Has anyone gotten AHCI working on X58 on Windows XP

    Brand new system, 7 year old outdated OS. Does not compute. You wont even be able to use all of the 6GB of RAM for the new system if you don't go 64...

    Tennessee Governor Signs Campus Downloading Bill Into Law

    It could be seen as a morality/social issue. Similar to how some campuses are supposed to be "dry" campuses, no alcohol. But how many students sneak alcohol in any way? Or how some campuses, like Virginia Tech, are "gun-free" zones. Where only criminals intent on attacking the...

    OLD nvidia still powerfull in low resolution, beats HD4850 even 4870 ?

    No, looking at those numbers, even at the lower resolutions the ATI cards were posting playable, enjoyable, frame rates. I would still opt for the 4850 no matter the resolution there, depending on price of course. It also means the 4850 may have better longevity for newer games.

    The board will run in dual channel. Which is just fine, just less memory bandwidth.

    Core i7 and Games, Memory Testing 6GB vs 3GB

    Crysis itself never used more than 800-900MB of RAM IIRC from my testing. So your claim of 1.3gb total used for system sounds reasonable. STALKER used alot. Idle in windows, windows sidebar reports 27-29% usage sitting normally in windows, web browsing, and junk like that. Would hit 97%...

    xp 32 bit 4gb ram

    Yes. The OS can only address 4GB total memory. A chunk of motherboard resources digs into that, videocard, other PCI bus devices, etc. Most people on a 32bit OS and 4GB memory, windows can only use between 3.1 and 3.6GB. It varies based on system components.

    P45 Asus vs. P45 Gigabyte... at same price

    Both should be quality boards from a reputable vendor, I've used both brands with good experiences. Overclocking? both should do well, but that's mostly luck of the draw. You'll find some fanboys either way on these boards based on their personal experiences. ASUS: I prefer their bios...

    Have 6 gigs of ram installed. System shjows 6, but taskmgr shows 3?

    Disregard, completely irrelevant. Some old buggy AMD based motherboard. iiick. Check this setting and get back to us. As of SP1, Vista computer info reports amount of memory installed. So it's seeing that you have 6gb of memory modules installed. Task manager is showing how much the...

    Barcelona and Penryn and futre of CPUs

    Built so many systems, for myself, dad, friends and family on that VA-503+ with K6's because they were so cheap. Within a few months, they all had issues, blue screening, various features failing. Headache after headache. Specific order to install drivers to get AGP busmaster or whatever to...
