    Sandisk ReadyCache 32GB SSD Review @ [H]

    Just got one! The nice thing about this drive is that it doesn't replace an existing drive - at one given moment in time I probably only have around 20GBs of stuff that I care about and that I'm actively using. I want that to be cached, not the extra drivers in system32 or what not. The...

    P8Z68-M PRO not picking up all RAM

    Hi guys, I have a P8Z68-M PRO that I've been using with a corsair 8GB kit for about a year now. I decided to raid my other build and grab the 2x2GB kit that had been sitting there (patriot I think?) and add to my P8Z68-M. During POST, it only picks up either 6GB or 8GB depending on the...

    Android: quad core, what is it for?

    First, we gotta consider that if a CPU runs at 1GHZ and it uses X amount of power, then if it runs at 2GHZ it will not necessarily use 2X, usually more. ( The extra voltage you gotta apply to have that guy run at 2ghz will make the power consumption be exponential) 4 cores might let to OS clock...

    Windows 7 AMD Bulldozer Hotfix

    I was under the impression that the Linux guys have been running with similar patches already (and the cache changes that were so polemic a few months ago), and while it does improve, it's not enough to tilt the scale.

    Apple Has 1,000 Engineers Working On Chips

    Apple doesn't develop their own designs, their PA Semi team takes ARM designs and does implementation/integration around them. Only like Qualcomm and maybe Nvidia does their own design I think? Everybody else is just implementing the ARM A9 cores AFAIK

    Terrible Read speeds with RAID0 SSDs

    Watch out, I think 6gbps SAS controllers don't negotiate at SATA3 speeds with SATA devices. That being said, I would honestly doubt that's the problem here.. What if you have single drives, do you get better performance? What's your stripe size? What about a single drive on the controller? Are...

    Intel's Core i7-2700K to cost more than 2600K

    In all fairness, these "aren't our parents megahurtz". With ahead-of-time execution, deep pipelining and all of that good stuff that we have now, that changes the game quite a bit. Plus, from 100mhz to 133mhz it's a 33% bump in "things we can do per second". And that's why chips are cooool :)

    Getting Cable Requires Four Visits and the Police

    Let me throw my 2 cents and bitch about TWC also. The worst part is that there's no competition! ATT's DSL is a joke, no other cable providers. I had to transfer my account from my roommates name to mine, they charged me an early termination fee on my roommate's account, half a month of...

    Delivering Fast Boot Times in Windows 8

    That seemed to come back faster than my S3 suspend o.O I wonder why people haven't come up with something like that before, plus what happens if you change the hardware topology? Interesting, but sounds like a 'steady state' feature.

    Intel Discloses New Itanium Processor "Poulson" Architecture Features

    Funny that they're putting that out when HP support has been dropped by Oracle. Probably as upgrades for in place stuff ? Anybody know what type of business uses Itaniums (except those one-off HTPCs)?

    getting a Masters in CS at school thats weaker than your undergrad school?

    A lot of places care only about your title. You should check the fine print in the tuition reimbursement, usually those programs force you to stay with the company (probably making your non-masters salary) for a while. Do a masters if you feel that will make you more 'complete', but if you...

    Mac Pro ATX Conversion

    Much envy.. I've had a similar project to that for a few months now, but so far I have not been able to find a way to mount my motherboard trays to my liking. I tried a mini atx lian-li case, that was shipped a bit too banged up to my liking (frozencpu? pc perf?), and a mountain mods mobo tray...

    HSM for Windows

    First, a little description of what I meant by HSM: HSM usually means hierarchical storage management, and was originaly offered on IBM mainframes to move 'aged' data from fast storage(tier 1) into slow storage(tier 2,3,etc). Back then, it meant from disk arrays to type. Does anybody...

    Good Book(s) for Computer Organization?

    While not a hardware book, Andrew Tenembaum's OS books are really good. Knuth's art of programming computer is THE reference on that, but it's kinda 'thick' to read.

    Any experiences with Coax / Powerline?

    Hi all, I moved in to a new apartment where running cable is beyond my skill level. Every guide on ethernet cabling I've seen online mentions running cable down from the attic or through the basement, but I have no attic or basement... I could hire somebody to run the cables, but I bet he's...
