    Wireless G400 type mouse?

    My G400 was having disconnecting problems, so I bought a G400S, after 6 months the same issues arose. I tried using the deathadder and the sensei but they felt wrong to my hand. I went back to using my 12 year old MX500, but it's too slow for me, my MX518's(1600 and 1800 DPI) are dead. I love...

    Any mouse have the G400's shape?

    But is not from logitech? I've been in love with the shape since I got my MX500 almost 12 years ago. But the reliability has slowly gone to shit with each generation. I've gone through 8 mice. MX500, MX518(1600 DPI), MX518(1800 DPI), G7 x2, and G400 x3. My original MX500 after 12 years still...

    Tempted to buy the G400. But....

    I'm still pissed at logitech for having my G930 and G500 fail on within the same week. How reliable is the G400? I still have my MX500(Original) that's fast approaching the ten year mark. All other mice I bought from logitech have lasted me less than 2 years at most.

    Need a new Mouse, Keyboard, & Headset.

    My G500, G930, and G15 all failed within one week of each other. And all are less than 2 years old! Logitech support is useless. I am no longer a logitech fan. Mouse must have an Optical Sensor, Adjustable DPI or 800 DPI flat, and must not have that god awful sandpaper grip like the G500...

    I am going to physically destroy the disk anyway, but I need to make damn sure that noone can get to the files. What's a good erasing program? At work I usually handed my disks off to the tech department, but I no longer have that privilege. If you must know. It's pictures of me and my ex.

    So when will Amd offer something like Optimus for Intel laptops?

    Because I'm sick of waiting to buy a new laptop. I passed by on an amazing deal with for a SAGER with HD6970m because the battery life was poor. Nvidia pisses me off because it charges oems to turn on optimus, and the 69XX radeons beat their nvidia counterparts in price and performance.

    What exactly is an 'Execution Unit?' Is it just a type of 'Shader Unit?' Or is it a TMU and ROP as well? Clock for Clock comparison which is faster, Execution Core or a Cuda Core? For arguments sake they both have the same Cache, Mem Size, GDDR5, etc.
