    Bitcoin - What Goes Up Must Come Down

    Ditto, Those of us that started any time before June last year have already ROI'ed on our equipment many times over. I personally took the low risk approach and sold as I mine and didn't start hodl'ing until September. Even then I am still at 200% return on investment. For us early birds it's...

    Scientific Discovery Moves Racetrack Memory Closer to Reality

    Read about this in Scientific American years ago. Still got quite a way to go. This won't replace RAM just yet as the race track would still have to be implemented in effect as pages of bytes, introducing latency for byte level access. However this would still have potential for very high...

    The DIY Coilgun

    A faster, higher pulse SCR (or IGBT). Lower ESR caps to support faster charging can all help. Otherwise you add another stage to it. There's a limit to how much energy you can shift to the round however as it saturates magnetically.

    hardware video transcode on sandy bridge?

    Yes, but for us enthusiasts over clocked crap is still just that, crap. Granted given by the previews at Anand they are actually decent for once for the [H] demographic it is still pretty much irrelevant.

    Sandy Bridge Performance Preview

    As a 9550 user this isn't enough for me yet, I figure I can sit tight for at least another year and a half. The real target I'm looking for is probably the hex and octo variants. That and go from 8GB to maybe 16~24GB.

    NEW! ATI FirePro V9800 Professional Graphics

    SATADIMM: Enterprise SSD in a DIMM Form Factor

    No way to talk to the SSD as SATA and DDR memory interfaces are worlds apart, however you do raise an interesting point. If they make a module where there is some usable ram say 1~2 gig on one stick this it would be interesting from an integration point of view. With a careful section of SATA...

    AMD to retire the ATi brand?

    The whole point they changed to just using numbers is because all those XT's are MORE confusing. They said it themselves not that long a ago when they first did the transition and everyone here should be old enough to remember that.

    Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7b Headphone Review @ [H]

    No separate plug for power? It's one of those things that I find puzzling. It can't be that hard to make a NC head phone that has the option of being powered by a spare USB port when you are using it at home. Why waste the life cycle of the batteries when you are sitting in front of a computer...
