    Intel Chips Still Rule

    as you can see here it was not a problem with heat..If heat was the problem it could easily be solved with better coolng. Don't you think Intel would have fixed the cooling problem without having to recall the chips and then laying them to rest forever. These chips come (came) with mega...

    Intel Chips Still Rule

    hdd partitioning question

    Assuming you are using FAT32 (Windows 95 had FAT16 and it would not recognize partitions larger than 2 gigs; if I remember correctly)there is no performance gain from using multiple partitions in Win98 because windows demands to be on your primary Dos partition on your primary drive and this is...

    Rambus is good!!

    The only reason people aren't buying Rambus is the price. Everyone seems to hate rambus, except me, but I didn't pay alot for my system. I bought it used from a friend who went for a real high end upgrade (also Rambus.) Here are links to two diferent articles (one right here on Anandtech) they...

    Do we really need these large hard drives??

    yes, of course I have MP3, and MPEGS and the such, but I don't store them on my hard drive, I keep them all on CD's. The more stuff you have on your hard drive the slower it goes.

    Do we really need these large hard drives??

    I have a 20 gig and I never have more than 3-4 gigs used. I store everything on CDR's. If there is software I want to use I install it, use it then I uninstall it. So why should I get a large Drive? Most of us are gamers and we know that having alot of stuff on your HD can slow it down. So...
