I've got an MX revolution and I've been spending some time today thinking about my mouse bindings. I think I have a good setup now and I want to hear what other people have come up with. I only use my mouse in firefox and adobe products, when navigating the rest of my computer I use the...

Well, as with all of my stock buys, I am looking for the long term payout. I am not an AMD expert or analyst, but I have read the analyst reports. Basically, I think that AMD+ATI is undervalued. I've always thought that the ATI purchase was insane, but nevertheless, a market cap of 4.68B for...

Whaddya think, am I a visionary or a fool?

nt.

CPU names are ridiculous. This is the least surprising research finding of the day.

I have heard of NewEgg but never re: macs. I went and looked and it seems fine. Maybe it's cheaper for the 512 modules but it's not for the 2GB modules, it's actually a bit more. However I'm sure it will be fine. Good luck.

Ok, and maybe it'll be fine. I've never heard of those companies though, which is why I mentioned that OWC is reputable. :p Yup, I wasn't going to say it, but there it is. Good luck with your purchase, and like you say, there is always the option of buying more later. edit: and don't listen...

Here, just buy this memory. The cheap stuff on the right supposedly works fine (I'll find out for sure in a few days). This is a reputable vendor that won't hassle you if for some reason it doesn't work. I personally recommend 2GB modules so you have room to expand later, however you won't...

Yea, I'm deducting this. To whoever wanted to know, companies don't have to pay taxes on capital investments that they make in order to conduct their business. You only pay taxes on your net profits (basically...I don't actually know the technicata anymore; I have an accountant, and I'm not a...

I finally just ordered it. The badness of Vista is what initially got me to start thinking about the switch. Then I priced the Mac hardware and ran screaming back to doing research on another WinTel box. However Vista continued to suck. What finally pushed me over the edge was when I sat...

Whoever was complaining about this game being a remake of SC1 probably checked out the website but not the gameplay trailer. You might have missed the *Colossus *Wall jumping units *Nidus canals outside of creep *protoss units warping in anywhere *:eek: THE MOTHERSHIP:eek:

It's worse performing, it's louder, it's more expensive, and it draws more power. Where's the upside?

Anyway, who's saying that a new mobo is required? They're only saying that you'll get better performance from a new mobo. In fact they're keeping their backwards compatibility, which is very nice.

idiot

This is installment art. It's not a real invention. Don't take it too seriously.

You are not looking ahead. Not long from now, all good content will be released exclusively with DRM attached. When that happens, the warez movement will quickly die because no one will have access to a clean file. Personally, I don't think this is a bad thing. But make no mistake: DRM may...

Your FSB is 400*4= 1.6GHz not 1.2GHz. The stability of the FSB at a given speed is the function of the chipset, the coolness of the chipset, and the quality of the mobo. Most people are able to get a stable 400*4 FSB on your board, so I don't think that is the problem, however it *could* be...

I think it's a Photochop Download the jpg of goofy grin man. Zoom in on the cards. The cards seem to be at a lower resolution than the rest of the image. If it's true, means they're from a different picture. However, the pixelation could have been caused by overzealous jpg optimization...

This is ridiculous. Where did I claim that we shouldn't divide labor? In fact in another post on this thread I've explicitly advocated for greater specialization in the cirriculum. However, there is a difference here. I don't expect every engineer to be able to design both a racecar and a...

Why would nv drop prices if they've still got the best product? Shit, nv is RAISING prices right now with that goddamn stupid Ultra. Mark my words, nv prices are not going to drop on May 14th. If the 2900 is a realistic competitor, then they might drop in a few months. If the 2900 is not a...

This is flawed logic. It doesn't go both ways. It only goes one way. Anyone who can design a CAD program to assist in the planning of speaker cabinets is going to be able to use that program to design speaker cabinets. And because they understand the principles which underlie the design...

Good point. I absolutely agree with this. Forcing kids who shouldn't be there to take calculus is half the reason why calculus classes are getting so dumbed down. Our system still produces marvelous concert pianists because we don't force our engineers and english majors into piano class (and...

Some engineering group had to write the program that you're using to design your cabinets. And I guarantee you that they understand the fundamental mathematical principles which underlie the concept of "acoustically correct." And guess what? Their knowledge is the kind that is most useful to...

:p that works, since I'm already setting up linux to use linux software raid. In fact, I guess I'd have to do it on Linux! Thanks for the links. I got linux running last night, now I just need to get a test array set up, but in order to do that I have to shrink some NTFS file partitions...

Now that I've figured out the hardware and the platform, I realize that I don't know anything about setting up an intranet file server. I think what I want is a domain server. Is that correct? Can anyone point me to a good primer on setting up a domain? I have macs and windows in my house...

I am never sending my kids to school.

Thanks so much for your suggestion to go with software. After reading this post I've done a little research I think that's definitely what I'm going to do. For server applications that need a very high throughput, hardware RAID is the only answer. For workstation and gaming platforms, you...

Hi there. I'm trying to configure a home file server. I will use the server to store a large library of assorted types of media content, including high-def video, which I'll be serving to my TV's via myth TV (or something like it). I'll also use it in conjunction with folder-synching software...

it sort of depends on the machine's application. If the quad will be useful to you, just get it now. Here are a few conditionals for you. Just stop at the first conditional that applies to you and get the proc I recommend at the end of the conditional. IF your budget includes room for...

:p :p

:rolleyes: Ok - you just keep waiting for a miracle. The rest of us who've been waiting are going to the store.

GTX blows it out of the water. I reconfigured my wishlist, took out the BX2 board and put in a 680i board, put in an 8800GTX, and pulled the trigger. I really wanted the radeons to be good, but they're a failure. edit: Daily Tech: 2900 XTX, Doomed from the Start

nVidia may indeed drop its prices in the coming months in order to compete with AMD's new cards, but don't expect it to happen the day of the 2900's release.

Will Barcelonas fit into the current mobos?

You know, the latest version of OpenGL supports pretty much all of the relevant features of DX 10, and it will work on XP and OS X. Which means that any DX 10 game which has an OpenGL mode will take advantage of "DX 10" parts in XP and OS X

...I know they will function in a 975 board, but will they be interface bottlenecked?

It seems like there is a big problem for those who are considering setting up a new rig using two r600's in crossfire: As far as I can tell, there is no motherboard which supports an LGA775 socket, AND crossfire in dual PCIe x16 mode. Sure, lots of boards have two x16 slots, but when you run...

Ok, thanks. And what is the ostensible advantage of a 64-bit OS? And is there a downside?

I read somewhere that "only Vista supports DX 10". Does this mean that only vista will ever support DX 10? I.E., Mac OS X, XP, and Linux aren't going to support it at any point? Or in other words that if I want to play DX 10 games, I have to get the hated Vista?

Which OS do you get with a Q6600? How about with an E6600?
