    New Web layout - Articles have no print option?

    That is great to hear, thanks for taking the time to respond, Anand. I will patiently wait for the print function to reappear and build up a backlog of articles to enjoy later.

    New Web layout - Articles have no print option?

    I REALLY miss the print option, I printed about 75% of the articles you posted to read when commuting. I often passed them around to coworkers who did the same. I really hope you bring it back!

    Is there that much of a difference between a 21.5" and 24" monitor @ 1920 x 1080?

    Actually, if you look at screen area and not just diagonal, you are getting 25% more area not just 11%. See the calculator links above.

    Temps and impressions of Scythe Infinity on a E6700

    I agreee, there is not much clearance to push the pegs down. but you should only need to twist if you are taking it out. To install, turn the pins to the locked position with the heatsink in your hand (not in the case) then put the bottom of the pins in the holes then just push down each one...

    the *OFFICIAL* core 2 duo midnight release thread 2.0!!!

    Well, I couldn't wait for shopblt anymore either, so Friday afternoon I went and picked up everything at mwave (I live in the area and they have a will call department that I really like). I wound up paying an extra $70 but I had everything up and running Friday night and got to play all...

    Ok fellas I got $300 for a video card upgrade..

    That is the best 7900gt now, it is the "reloaded" one so no artifact or stability problems. In the recent tests here at anandtech, the factory overclocked 7900gt (like this one) was very close in speed to the x1900xt though IIR, it was a bit slower on a few more games than it was a bit faster...

    mwave now has the e6600 in stock too but they are still asking their preorder price of $425. If they lower their price to beat newegg by a bit like they usually do I may have to order one for pickup tomorrow :)

    It may not be an error at all (depending on where you live). I live in southern California, and often when I get things shipped from the east coast, I will see my status as having left some east coast city and it will stay like that for 2-4 days while the truck drives across the country. The...

    the *OFFICIAL* core 2 duo midnight release thread 2.0!!!

    It could be, you never know. shopblt has been very helpful and responsive to my email questions so far, but of course that does not guarantee they will get the processors when they have been told. And it's actually $40 less for me since I would have to pay Cali tax if I did the clubit deal.

    [Pics] Core 2 Duo Retail HSF

    Not the best price, but mwave does have the 6300 in stock here for $229.00 They are a good company who I have done lots of business with for over 5 years, so it makes me sad to see them price gouging on C2D :(

    6600GT & Dell 2007fpw/2407fpw

    I have a 6600GT, and it will support 1920x1200 on the VGA connector (dsub 15), but since the 6600gt's DVI is only single link, it will not support that resolution over DVI.

    RAID 0: Put both HDs on one IDE cable? Or seperate?

    Yes, if you are not using the CD it should not affect performance. I would make the HD the master and the CD the slave just on principal, but it shouldn't really matter. As long as your motherboard supports raid on both interfaces it should work fine.

    how filled should a hard drive get?

    As noted earlier, if you can split the load between two drives (windows on one, apps and app scratch space on the other, some apps on one, some on the other, etc) then 2 drives is faster since they can each access diferent data at the same time. RAID 0 is faster only in sustained transfers...

    Conroe buyers, when will you buy and which model?

    Yeah, that's exacrtly what I plan to do too. Start off stock then upgrade HS to better air one or maybe even water after a few months. Who knows though, if the fan on the new GPU is loud enough I may have to do it sooner though :)

    Conroe buyers, when will you buy and which model?

    That is certainly a possiblity. My guess though is that the workloads Anand ran don't use much FP or Integer math but rather have lots of move/store/branching where Core does not have an advantage.

    Conroe buyers, when will you buy and which model?

    Initial reports show they overclock quite well on air, but I have not seen anyone using a stock HS, so that is a little harder to say. As you note though, they run fairly cool, so I would guess you will get a decent overclock on stock HS, we'll just have to wait and see if that is 50% or 80% of...

    Acer 24" AL2416Wd 6ms

    Costco has the D version with the DVI-D input for $899. They have an excelent return policy, you can buy it online and return it to any store for basically any reason ("I just didn't like the way it looked" works fine). Here is a link

    Any good trusty US online store will do assembling?

    mwave.com is quite good. I've bought components from them for five years and I've had friends and co-workers buy 4 different assembled computer systems and they've all been happy with them and their support.

    New moniter choice.

    If you don't mind "widescreen" most reviews (including here) have said the Dell 2005fpw is a faster (less ghosting) and overall better monitor. It is however 1680x1050 instead of 1600x1200 due to being a widescreen.
