    Ram Bottleneck?

    I'm afraid I do princess. 1333mhz is slowest memory that intel recommends for the processor. He's buying a high end motherboard and an unlocked cpu, why would he want to pair that with the slowest memory available? (unless its temporary of course). That is the definition of a bottleneck.

    Ram Bottleneck?

    I actually have the same board and processor, awesome combo. 1333Mhz is on the low-end of the spectrum and you're going to take a performance hit with it. How much will just depend on what app/game you're running. Personally I'd go with something in the 1866-2400 range (you'll get diminishing...

    Gun With Real World Auto-Aim

    Seems pretty cool but I would be very nervous about using a gun that fires automatically. What if someone walked infront/behind the bad guy after you tagged him?

    OnLive Sold For Only $4.8 Million

    It's an interesting idea but it's just not practical. Even on a local gigabit network, streaming a game (via vnc) is subpar at best.

    Is 91% Isopropyl Alcohol Still Alright for Thermal Paste Cleaning?

    I bought some of the fancy ArctiClean stuff for my last build and to be honest...it didn't work nearly as well as 91% alcohol. It took much longer to clean/dry and still look 'meh' after 3 applications.

    Judge Rules Facebook Passwords are Protected Under Law

    Any organization/business that demands your passwords or tells you what you can and cannot say (on your own time) is corrupt. Some of these businesses honestly believe that they are their own government and have that level of authority over you. The US constitution is irreverent to them and...

    DOOM 3 BFG Edition Screws PC Users?

    Walmart Announces New Search Engine to Power Walmart.com

    Well the old one didn't work, period. I don't even think it's searches the db...it just generates random products. I think they'd been better off going 3rd party. I can't imagine an in-house "walmart coding team" being very good. They probably pay them horribly and the only ones that stay are...

    Fired Toyota Coder Trashes Systems, Steals Data

    Ehh I'll play devils advocate :) If you treat your employees like a commodity...don't be surprised when they retaliate...especially when they have the means.

    Start8 Beta Restores Start Button to Windows 8

    That was true with Win7 and older OS's - but not with Win8. Microsoft removed the ability to turn on the start menu with Consumer Preview and then went after 3rd party menus with the RTM. That strong arming is what annoyed alot people. Even if you love metro, your still going to be using the...

    New Version of Classic Shell

    There is a pretty cool feature that was added to 3.6.0. You can now remove the metro "hot corners" without disabling metro all together. This is pretty important for people that prefer the desktop as disabling metro did have some unintended side-effects. http://classicshell.sourceforge.net

    Say Hello to Microsoft.com’s New Look

    I've been using it since release preview came out. You are constantly switching between ui's because metro apps will only run in metro and desktop apps will only run on the desktop. Even certain websites won't work in metro and you have to switch to the desktop (netflix for example). After...
