    FS/FT: LGA775 PC, Dell 2407WFP monitor, Ergotron arm, Logitech k750. Chicago pickup

    I have a few items priced to sell, and for pickup only (60616). Quick rundown of the components on the pc. Abit ip35-e, Intel e6750 (running stock voltage @ 3.2) 4gb g.skill RAM, Seasonic x650 gold psu (with extra modular cables & bag.. think it still has a few years warranty left)...

    Comcast Credits Customer For Wasting His Time

    I went through hell with at&t for 2 months, trying to get my installation, trying to cancel installation and service, trying to get a return label for their equipment, etc... Earlier today, I decided to just get it over with and just pay off the $70 bill they wanted for the modem that they...

    Connecting subwoofer to Swan M10s?

    I would put the LPF as low as it'll let you. For a typical Polk audio sub, this'll be around 60-80hz.

    Linux Won't Work On Systems Running Windows 8?

    ?? I'm not sure if you were trying to support my point or argue against it. You pretty much said what I was too lazy to say(points 1 & 2 in particular), except those points were going to support the fact that market share was exactly the reason why windows is dominating over linux. Nobody...

    Turn a PC Off or Leave It On?

    I'm surprised that most are categorizing into the on or off crowd. 30 min to hibernate for me. Not because of startup times , but cause I'd hate to clear my current workspace every time I get off my computer, mid day or at night.

    Intel Scores Home Run with 10 Petaflop “Stampede” Supercomputer

    Don't be silly, I'm talking about cpu bound vs IO bound processes. Normal applications you'd use on a home computer are interactive and exhibit "bursty execution" - cpu burst -> IO burst -> cpu burst -> wait for io -> etc.. You're not going to be browsing the forums, playing minesweeper...

    Connecting subwoofer to Swan M10s?

    It depends on what kind of equipment you have and what kind of input/output your subwoofer provides. Take into consideration that while the included bass unit, while it doesn't go very low, covers most of the frequency range a typical subwoofer is supposed to cover. If you really do want to...

    Intel Scores Home Run with 10 Petaflop “Stampede” Supercomputer

    I can't sense the sarcasm. Its like asking why the fastest cars are made by british people when the leading automotive manufacturer is XYZ (toyota atm?) the computer's for data crunching.. Not very much I/O going on.

    ***Official ASUS ROG Connect Poll***

    I've been looking at a upgrade once I offload a bunch of textbooks, and here are some reasons why a midrange RoG board was at the top of my list - * Asus' participation and presence on the forums like these inspire confidence.. (big plus) * Little inclusions like the q-connector and shield...

    Linux Won't Work On Systems Running Windows 8?

    Linux as a kernel might be solid, but your router, phones, server equipment, etc are all commercial products that are tailored for a specific purpose. Operating systems built on linux however covers a much larger scope and are severely lacking in polish. I attend a tech school where 99% of...

    LF New Mouse, like Deathadder

    Another recommendation for the G500. However, I wouldn't say it's "deathadder-like" at all. My brother has a deathadder and I wasn't too fond of it. While it looked slick on the desk, It felt like a clunky and clumsy under my hands. I didn't like the high-arc of the butt, the smudgy...

    erm...decision on mouse

    I think you're looking for the G500. - on the fly hyperscroll - shouldn't be a problem - Has a extra thumb button if you can set a macro or have the software for it - good on all counts.. precision, speed, on the fly dip adjustment, wired.. - indented scroll wheel - check... - ? I think...

    Info on data plans? thank you!

    AT&T's data coverage + network is only average... Perhaps marginally better speeds than tmobile, but worse coverage. Verizon is probably the only provider with a real significant advantage as far as data speeds + phone coverage. AT&T is probably the last provider I would go with.. ever...

    Cable sleeving

    seller "furryletters" on ebay. I've purchased from them before and they always keep a good stock of techflex. You can get 2 rolls of 25ft for ~$17. They also carry multifilament nylon of that size for around the same price.

    What Sata 6 controller for P67?

    what about them? I think the controller and bandwidth enough for a single pcie-x16 lane is integrated into the CPU and not the chipset.. Single pcie-x16 slot is simplest/cheapest to implement for budget motherboards, while other motherboards may find ways to split the bandwidth (x8/x8 or...

    What Sata 6 controller for P67?

    afaik, Intel sata 6.0Gbps controllers were integrated into the p67 chipset. If the p67 chipset only supports 2 ports, than you need to find other means of providing additional sata6Gbps ports which is where the Marvell controller comes in.

    Gigabyte new top of line Sandy Board?

    I've skimmed through the article, and I don't think anywhere does it explicitly say that the g1.killer is actually a sandy-bridge motherboard.. Also, the picture shown in the article is the same x58 g1-assassin that's pictured in other articles and not a different p67 version. I could be...

    Are you skipping 2500K/2600K?

    I might just try and see if I can pick up a rampage formula(x48) or maximus formula(x38) + a g3 SSD and see if I can resist the urge for a big upgrade for another year..
