This may get you going: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2927 I know very little about it the whole thing, but I'm going to presume that the AMD SB850 supports it. Not sure, as this article was written in 1/10, and I assume that preceded the release of your motherboard's chipset. Edit: nevermind...

Laptops break all the time due to poor manufacturing and ill design. Personally, I don't think spending the extra cash on a Lenovo is a half-bad idea.

MS should give up the search engine race; they've lost.

Very important to get a good looking card. People really underestimate this type of thing. When your neighbors come over, you need to have something *good* looking to brag about, none of that vanilla stuff sitting on the inside of your PC case.

If it isn't due to user error or motherboard malfunction, a one in million thing occurs once in every million cards, a number that nvidia has surpassed.

Mechanical keyboards are pretty cool. They aren't soft and indistinct like the most of them.

If you had to whore yourself out for the 5970s, I wonder why you'd even worry about upgrading at this point.....

Apple can bite my iAss. :)

No, you shouldn't even bother.

I caught my neighbor's iPhone staring in my bedroom window, last night. Seriously though, a particular amount of privacy is a right, particularly with a product that you purchase. Maybe you all trust the police, but I sure as hell don't; from experience.

More cores are great for systems that do a lot of unrelated processing simultaneously, but I have a feeling that the consumer market will show less of a need for these. Consumer-oriented programs still don't take advantage of the threading/cores available on the current machines, in many cases.

Generally, the nuts around here and other PC enthusiast sites can't stand using somewhat older technology, so take that into consideration. Why don't you go ahead and use your system with what you currently own and see how well it runs? Memory hasn't had a whole lot of impact on gaming once...

Before long, instead of people mounting dead animals on their walls, as trophies, they are going to mount their purchases. (As if a twenty-point buck put up any more of a fight against their rifle than would a ten-pointer...)

Single GPU systems use less power and have, generally, fewer problems. They also have more predictable performance across games.

Hrm
