    'Subjective' Proof that the Human Eye Can Perceive More than 60fps

    Mind explaining this statement? A Hertz is simply 1/s. So yes 60Hz, technically, is equivalent to 60 FPS, or 60 m/s, etc... If you mean that the monitor's refresh rate has no bearing on a video game's framerate then yes and no... ever hear of VSync?

    Do we REALLY need new CPU's?

    While I am just a sample size of one, I have measured the difference and it is substantial... 2-3 times in the games I mentioned.

    Do we REALLY need new CPU's?

    Going from a E6750 at 3.2GHz to a 2500K at 4.8GHz doubled or tripled my framerate in BFBC2, StarCraft 2, MechWarrior Living Legends, etc. CPU-heavy games do exist, more than you might think. I think you're in the minority with your (completely anecdotal) assessment.

    Sager..worlds best NB?

    Sager is just a Clevo rebadger, nothing to see here, move along. The guys at the workshop you visited probably just use them because they're cheap, suit their purposes, and they got a volume discount.

    4lb 13/14" w/ hybrid graphics

    I was going to say Vaio Z, but yeah... You might be able to find one cheap, I got mine for $1500 and I've seen them as low as $999, even a few flukey ones for like $850 with an Xbox 360 last Black Friday at the MS store. I love mine, video card overclocks 30%+ which puts it into the same...

    Backlit keyboards on laptops

    Depends on the laptop... some can do it through a hardware switch, others can do it in software, others you can't. My Vaio Z has a light sensor so it's only on when it's dark, and there are software tweaks (registry edits) to disable it, leave it always on or adjust the light sensor sensitivity.

    Is 1366x768 really that bad?

    Or you know, people who actually use their machines for more than just farmville. 1366x768 on a 15.4 is an abomination. 1440x900 should be the minimum res for that panel, and 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 should be a lot more common than it is for 15.4" as well.

    Is 1366x768 really that bad?

    The Sony Vaio Z has 1600x900 and 1920x1080 options on a 13.1" screen. It's amazing. I have the 900p and it's perfect for me.

    Any P67 boards that have space for air-cooled SLI/Crossfire?

    Using 2x reference GTX 285s in a mATX case side by side, no issues here. They run at ~45C idle and ~83C load, normal operating temps for these cards. Granted they are external exhaust which is what the case mfr. recommends. Harder to find external exhaust cards this generation.

    Remotely monitor computer hardware?

    AIDA64 has a shared memory feature so writing your own using its readings would probably be fairly easy if you're a programmer. I am not aware of a preexisting application but that's not to say it doesn't exist. Actually the Business Edition has a built-in remote monitoring/control feature but...

    What game settings can you change if you are CPU limited?

    In my experience, not really. Most game settings relate to visual fidelity, not underlying game subsystems like loading, streaming, AI, game logic, netcode, collision detection, physics, animation, occlusion culling, sound, mouse/keyboard input, etc.
