Just to follow up, I didn't test this drive too much. CrystalDiskMark does run the same test 3 times in a row though, so there's a little consistency there?

I bought this drive a few days ago for a refurbished Toshiba laptop. Performance is great, much better than the 750GB 5400 RPM drive in there before. It's kind of funny that we've come to a point where someone would label the performance below as "horrible". If you need to upgrade a...

I would not recommend a usb+ethernet combo device. I've gone through a lot of USB 3.0 hubs recently until finding the iXCC ® 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub w/ VIA VL812 chipset. The other hubs would randomly disconnect things or Windows would report the device "has a problem" chronically all day long...

None. Until Windows gets it's act together with proper scaling, you're just wasting processing power with a display greater than 100 - 110ppi. Even with OS X proper scaling, I don't think the image quality benefits are worth the increased processing power.

If your fan rattles, layer four pieces of electrical tape, then cut into a 1cm x 1cm square. Stick it on the outer edge of the face of the fan. See if this resolves the rattle. If not, try more or less layers, different sizes and different placement areas. This seems to have resolved the...

The phone I got developed a vertical blue line down the right side of the screen which would not go away. Looks like others have reported this issue with other Nokia Lumia models. Luckily HSN is sending me a new phone to exchange.

Supposedly these security software rebates that TigerDirect constantly promotes are rather sketchy.

Your actual clock is 533Mhz, while the effective clock is 1066Mhz since DDR/DDR2/DDR3 transfer data twice per cycle. Basically any DDR3 SODIMM 533/1066Mhz or above should work fine. Your Windows Experience Index may go up a little, but it's unlikely you'd really feel a difference between...

...and what is stopping you from buying a PATA PCI/e card? SATA was finalized back in 2003(8 years ago), PATA was long overdue to be replaced.

Depends on how much it costs? $100 w/ shipping, sure, why not?. If it's above that it's probably not worth it. You could end up wasting a whole lot of money on the CRT + shipping only to find it has a scuff right in the middle or has a slightly yellow tint you can't get rid of. If you could see...

Sure something hasn't be switched to surround sound by chance?

Yes I imagine it would, but remember they are not the same as nVidia stream processors. They are a bit more simplified than nVidia's stream processors, so you cannot compare them directly. Programs will need to be re-programmed to work with OpenCL. This is probably not going to happen for a...

Why is CUDA important to you for multimedia? Are you going to be programming your own multimedia software? I am not personally aware of any worthwhile CUDA video editing apps(there is Badaboom, but that's conversion not editing and has it's own limitations). CUDA is unique to nVidia. OpenCL...

This would be a good project if you like wasting your time. There isn't much point going to a 9800GT. Have you tried just overclocking your 8800GT?
