Hopefully PC monitors will finally start catching to the DPI race, though the GPUs needed for gaming on them scares me.

I highly doubt the average consumer would understand dual booting anything. It seems niche at best.

I assume this is going to be $100 cheaper than whatever the 290X price is, which is a pretty good deal since it doesn't seem like a major step down.

A Q9550 is probably limiting you on games nowadays.

Can anyone show me where the supports to take out the tower are?

Current gen CPUs won't really be much better than a 2500k @ 4.5-4.7.

I'm disappointed I'm right outside the the limits of a local fiber deployment. I wonder if I'll ever get it...

For processors, I'd say it's almost guaranteed to be user error.

Even if it's not 64 bit only, it's nice that games are finally getting 64 bit versions at all.

Hm... it seems like your clocks don't actually boost itself above your set OC. The fluctuations might be from thermal/power throttling, though I'm not positive it still does that with manual clock settings.

I have reds and while the keys themselves don't make a lot of noise, it's pretty hard not to bottom out with them. It's possible to type nearly silently with reds, but it's not practical.

Except... HTC made a profit from that. Beats bought themselves out for more than HTC paid for their share.

Pretty much all modern high end smartphones can take pictures instantly nowadays.

I usually just test the difference if I'm hard up on space. Some games load a lot faster on SSDs compared to HDs, while others barely change at all.

Game pretty much seems like a slightly upgraded BF3 to me, though at least I'm not having any technical issues.

13.2 reduces frame latencies, not 13.1.

Firmware and driver thing... and the 7900 series already has it.

I don't think the chance of hard drive failure and lack of replacement is high enough to overcome the cost difference since externals often seem ridiculously cheaper than internals.

And in contrast to your story, I've had Newegg wait for a UPS investigation into a damaged $5 PCI bracket adapter they sent me. It was basically put directly in a bubble mailer and the bracket was bent badly along the way. They wouldn't send a $5 replacement immediately even though it was...

PCI-X != PCI-E And Intel processors don't really drop in price, so you might as well get the 3770k if you didn't get the MC deal for the 2600k.

The ~$75 premium for a 3570k and Z77 doesn't seem worth it at all. Going with a 3770k definitely doesn't seem worth it.

On the tests that the Agility 3 "wins" against the Vertex 3 at the same capacity, it's always within 1%. That's well within normal variance. Not only does it seem like you're comparing drives of different sizes, which makes the comparison invalid, but you're also cherry picking the tests that...

It's been useless for me on webpages and pretty much everything else. When I read webpages, I want to scroll bit by bit as I read. There aren't many situations where I want to scroll far quickly.

Video cards idle at higher speeds with multiple monitors with mixed inputs or mixed res/refresh rates to prevent flickering. http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=29667767&postcount=3

Except the Newegg review breakdown for that board is actually 46% 5 stars and 20% 1 stars. You have it backwards.

Just use your new SSD on SATA 3 Gbps. Only benchmarks or lots of large writes will show any difference compared to 6 Gbps.

There's always something around the corner. If you need the performance now, buy now. If not, buy when you need it. Seems simple enough.

IB seems decent if you're only doing moderate overclocking. It'll probably save some power compared to SB.

Pretty steep price. I wonder how many people are actually going to get it.

Probably also marked up a bit because they're targeted at professionals.

Some of the Asrock Z77 boards, like the Extreme4, use Asmedia instead of Etron.

You two sound like the AMD fanboys who were denying the early reports of how badly Bulldozer performed. Just like the Bulldozer early leaks, there's enough people claiming how Ivy Bridge overclocks badly to make it most likely true.

From a reply to a commenter in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/01/05/virtualizing-storage-for-scale-resiliency-and-efficiency.aspx So it sounds like 1 parity drive per space. You could create multiple spaces to get multiple parity drives, but each space would still only...

Bleh, such bad write performance for parity mode. Not to mention the data is striped, so all data is lost on multiple drive failure. I would switch to FlexRAID for storage pooling, but it's turning into a paid product and it doesn't seem stable or supported well enough to warrant paying for it.

Again, it's not a server crash. The person I quoted says it's because of server crashes, when it's clearly not if other people I know are still playing on the server. I was just trying to rule out one potential cause.

Um, no. I've gotten those kinds of CTDs while playing with friends, and they confirm that they're still in the server playing. It's not a server crash.

THANK YOU. I was getting really frustrated when none of the apps worked. Still seems pretty laggy/crash prone in my VM though. VirtualBox, W8 64 bit.

In a related note, Seagate's 4 TB drive with 1 TB platters is now available for purchase. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/external/external-hard-drive/desktop-hard-drive/?intcmp=bac-en-us-home-hero1-goflex-desk-4tb

If have enough spare space or one spare hard drive, you can use that hard drive (or remove one from WHS) and put a fresh install on it. Copy some data to it. Remove another drive from WHS and put it in the new build. Copy more data over. Repeat. Of course there's some risk doing this as your...

Desktop drivers straight from AMD and Mobility Modder. I checked my laptop with a Mobility X1400 and it has a rotate option.
