Exactly. What you guys are missing is that this forum is a congregation for the minority. We are the guys who, fifty years ago, said "Who would ever buy a Japanese car? They're no fun, there's no soul." We are the guys who said hot-rodding would be around forever- it still exists, but it's a...

I know the mantra, that cursors kill performance. However, in this case the dataset is enormous- I have a table with dozens of rows, and another with millions or more and the current (production) process iterates through the multi-million recordset once for each of the dozens. I know exactly...

I've got my one, not that I needed it. $25 AR was too good to pass up. :) (And yes, I've done multi-rebate screw-ups successfully before. Multiple times.) Being stubborn is key. :p

Too much of a specialty part, they aren't mainstream. No volume=no sale.

"at participating Canadian resellers only", and all prices in CAD. Link is US.NCIX...

Where do you see a $10 rebate on the 620? It's showing at $50 for me.

Meh. 80 Plus Vanilla, to be expected from a 2008 model. If you need that much power, don't cheap out; if you don't, get a newer, higher-efficiency supply. (Link requires manual editing since NCIX is blocked by [H].)

IOU 1 local bump.

From the sole Newegg comment: "Cons: There's only one PCI-Express connector. This is not modular. It is not as quiet as I hoped. But it is not loud." For a 400W, Platinum-rated PSU to be anything above "so quiet, I forgot it was on" is unacceptable- I'm eager to find out which fan they used...

I wouldn't look at "attaching" it to the linen, but rather making a laminated version that you could sew onto the label. (Laminating to make it waterproof if it isn't already.)

Sorry about that, I thought I saw some mention of you in reference to the new AX1200i. Consider me properly shamed for my confusion. :( http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1039008000&postcount=14 Corsair? And if you can go into it, why such an emphatic response to the Antec "accusation"? :p

And currently of Antec, apparently...

I suspect that the 3GB version doesn't have this mixed-mode memory, and just doubles up on the optimal design that you'd see if NVIDIA had gone with a 1.5GB reference board. The performance difference going from 2GB reference to 3GB here will be HUGE in the 1.5-2GB texture range, if that's what...

FYI: HDMI port only does 720p, unlike Pi's 1080.

Returning a bump. :)

SOLD! (Thanks for the bump!)

Just remember that while it'll run, the K-chips don't have Intel VT-d or a few other features, which limits their virtualization functionality- limited peripheral accessibility in a virtualized OS, for example.

65w (low-power) bare CPU, upgraded my HTPC to Ivy Bridge and Z77. $200+S&H CPU, $260 shipped with board (I/O shield with SATA cables) PayPal or local exchange in NYC, Heatware at bottom of sig. Bumps appreciated, PM me!

Question is, did you test with ECC memory as well?

Onboard video means it supports the CPU's built-in graphics. No CPU graphics=requirement for an external card. Also semi-confirmed that the Z77 version works with a Xeon, though still not sure about ECC:

Because the Galaxy rep is officially recognized, and I suspect that Galaxy pays Kyle some much-appreciated advertising dollars.

"Mommy, why'd the potty tell me to take a taxi?"

My only concern is the heat transfer across the junction between the heat source and the moving part of the heatsink, but they seem confident that they've overcome that. The motor itself is loud for my taste, but I'll probably still get one just for the novelty of having it on my shelf.

It's 45. I'm running one. Glad they're finally available on these shores.

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/performance-chipsets/x79-express-chipset.html Looks like Intel has un-certified that socket+CPU combination for PCIe 3.0.

I was using a 32" TV as a monitor for about 1.5 years, five years ago, then moved up to a 40" without moving further away from my desk. I highly recommend it. I'm also moving in two weeks, and will be using a wall-mounted 55" LCD as my only screen, meaning both TV AND computer. For the...

I disagree with p3sty, onboard sound has gotten pretty damn good- I'm not quite audiophile, but the Realtek ALC898 codec is pretty damn good. The single biggest difference as far as strictly motherboard differences go is memory support- there is NO ITX board with more than two DIMM slots, which...

There is a fan and vents. And re: door, I already said I'd prefer a BYOD (Bring Your Own Disk) version. If it's not BYOD, there's no reason to make it user-serviceable. http://www.pcper.com/image/view/14301?return=node%2F54653

Damn, you beat me to both of my points.

http://www.pcper.com/reviews/General-Tech/Western-Digital-My-Net-N900-HD-Router-Review I love the idea of single unit bundling a quality N900 router with built-in 2TB NAS (though I'd prefer BYOD and put in a 3TB Green instead). The only thing stopping me from buying it already? Lack of...

Synchronous vs asynchronous only determines one aspect of performance. Every consumer drive you can think of, and about half of all enterprise drives, use MLC (multi level cell) flash, meaning each cell in the die has four or more possible states. It's slightly lower performance, but more...

http://communities.intel.com/message/158716#158716 Confirmed by Intel (with corresponding refund on Intel 520 drives), SF2281 controller is physically incapable of higher key-length encryption. This is a controller limitation, all manufacturers/firmwares affected with a completely new respin...

http://communities.intel.com/message/158716#158716 Only relevant for a VERY small minority, but if you actually NEED AES-256 (AES-128 works fine), Intel will allow a full return of your 520 SSD. Note that this is a controller limitation, which means all SF2281 drives are affected regardless of...

The 6790 is really something like a theoretical 6830- it's a 68x0 with stuff disabled, not related to the 67x0 family at all; co-incidentally, the 6770 is actually a rebadged 5770. The 6790 has newer features, and is generally faster anyway- it's a no-brainer...

That's kind of a pointless statement, isn't it? Micro and full-size are two different products, it's not like you can trim down a full-size and stick it into your cell phone. "$20K for that car? Really? Wow!" "Yeah, but it's only a good price because it's a Fusion. A Focus would suck for...

That's SD, not Micro SD. Doesn't work in phones, MP3 players, etc.

Too late now, but technically 4-pin CPU connector from the PSU would work fine. The 8-pin is only needed for high-draw usage, like heavy overclocking. The second set of 4 is run off the same rail anyway (assuming multi-rail PSU), so it's only there for higher amperage.

D505. I heard something rattling as soon as I opened the box. Popped the cover off of the LCD hinges, and saw that one screw was just sitting on top of the hinge, not screwed in at all. Six months in, half of the keyboard stopped registering. Overnight shipping and I have a new keyboard...

Not as a standalone entity, but as a driving force to keep Intel motivated. The last good thing they did was the Athlon 64, and considering how radical that was, I still believe that was Ruiz saying "I want to go out with a bang, so make sure everything in the pipeline comes out while I'm still...

Dell beat out Acer more than 2:1? Sad, sad day. :( My Latitude- Latitude, mind you- was a smoldering pile, after which I started cautioning all of my friends/family off of Dell.
