    So seems like AMD/ATI totally missed it this time

    Greed. To make u change CPU and motherboard every time you plan on upgrading. Either that or incompetence.

    So seems like AMD/ATI totally missed it this time

    And who's to blame them. They wanted to play good capitalists (talking about AMD here), sitting on their good product (Athlon 64) for far too long with virtually 0 innovation, enjoying rise in sales, profit and share prices. K7 architecture is what, 5+ years old now? I've been using AMD...

    Suggestions on building Ultra SILENT Computer

    My ultra silent PC recipe: - Any PSU with 120mm fan bottom mounted (facing the cpu), I used LC Power (german generic brand, quality) 500W (I removed the fan already present in the PSU by simply unplugging in, and placed a Coolermaster 120mm fan I had laying around, that does low rpm (round...

    Totally AMAZED by Sony's 17" 1920x1200 WUXGA screen on a BX series lap-top.

    To keep this short, I own and tried most of the popular laptop brands except for Dell, including: - HP ZT1290, 1.8ghz northwood, 15" 1400x1050 - Toshiba P100, Core Duo 1.6, 17", 1440x900 - Toshiba U205-S5002, Core Duo 1.66, 12", 1280x800 - Asus F3F, 15", Core 2 Duo 1.66ghz, 1280x800 -...

    How come Graphics cards are getting more powerful, but require more power than ever? Where's the efficiency?

    Graphic cards (and we're talking advanced 3d graphic cards, not embedded 2d) are machines on their own. CPU by itself can't do much without RAM, northbridge etc. A GPU has a dedicated processor, dedicated ram, controller, everything, hell, if Nvidia/ATI wanted they could attach a hard drive and...

    S'all good. I like the fact that you can run 4 slots of ram on an intel platform and not sacrifice performance as with Nforce4. Asus P5W DH Deluxe (bios: 1401) E6600 at 3400mhz (9 x 378) 4 x 1GB Geil Ultra 5300 at DDR756 (3-5-5-10) EVGA 8800GTX Apple CinemaDisplay 30" x 2 Coolermaster...

    Only people with 110V power grid (USA?) suffer from PSU problems?

    One weird thing I've noticed is that only people from the states have PSU issues. Like blown PSU, not enough wattage to run a system etc. Locally, we're on a 220v/50hz grid and its very rare to see someone with this kind of problems. Most of the dealers assemble configs with no-name, almost...
