    Seagate 7200.12 1TB Drive

    Yeah for such a large density difference the performance increase is very small...it seems the .12 mainly improved heat, noise and power compared to the .11 series (and let's not forget the firmware horrors). I wonder if WD and Samsung are doing any better with their 7200 rpm 500GB platter...

    Seagate 7200.12 1TB Drive

    seagate 7200.12 1TB looks pretty good in this article: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articl...play/1tb-2tb-hdds.html I only wish there was a 3 platter 1.5 TB version...

    Need a new HDD and suggestions

    if you wish to go the Seagate way you could try the new 7200.12 1TB which has only 2 platters. reviews are here: http://techreport.com/articles.x/16472/1 http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1526 http://www.bigbruin.com/content/barracuda1tb_1

    Need help picking wireless router & adapters

    not taking into acount that the dlink is draft n v2, is the Zyxel X550 better than D-Link DIR-625 ? it's only about 5$ more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833127220

    Asus 520gu vs 500g Premium

    i'm in the same boat.... Hesitating between Asus 520gu, Buffalo WHR-G125....or pay a bit more for a DLink DIR 625 (allthough i guess the DLink DIR 615 is more in the league of the Buffalo and Asus). I am also wondering if should get the EDIMAX EW-7318USG wireless usb adapter...i heard they...

    Budget board that supports crossfire

    doing 4850 crossfire on p45 (x8 x8) is a waste of those sweet 4850's if u wanna crossfire, use X38 or X48 if u don't need crossfire, the p45 boards are great. forget nvidia chipset mobo's, they have sucked and continue to suck

    From 8800gts 320mb to HD4850

    don't buy the 4850 with a standardcooler.....wait for the 4850's with better cooling
