    the best damn wifi router money can buy!

    Apple Airport Extreme. Stable. Works. Set and forget. Put your wireless router on a small UPS too to make sure the power it gets is clean. This often helps stability.

    GA-990FXA-UD3 + 8120 Bulldozer = freezing

    Have you run Memtest? How are you checking CPU temps? BIOS? Or some program? I recall reading that some temp reading software is unreliable. If hot northbridge suspect: try running it with case open and fan blowing on NB Machine freezes: no blue screen? If you don't have...

    Why does Intel still make celeron?

    Me. Works great. Helps with electricity costs (AMD's big disadvantage right now) YouTube/Videos: no problem whatsoever. No lag/skipping/sound problems. Runs cool and very quiet. (Where have I heard that before?) I upgraded from a fine Opteron CPU, the 170--at the time is was...

    could I use something like this - high power outdoor AP

    Rob's out--he's at a meeting! Again, the question is: range, and also: line of sight. "Down the block"--no trees, telephone poles and wires, houses, walls, etc?

    [allthingsd.com] AMD getting ready for another round of Layoffs

    For any of you too young to have seen it, the movie "Office Space" is THE best documentary film on consultants, what they do, how they "think", and how they operate. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/ http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/office_space/ It has Jennifer Aniston in one of her best...

    Why are Intel CPU's better than AMD's at the same clocks?

    Ouch! Low blow. I think it's referred to as "Itanic" in many circles. Intel was going to compete with nVidia and AMD in discrete graphics, and decided against that--maybe because of low margins? But: of course they have a huge share of the graphics market with all the on die/IGP systems...
