IndignantSkeptici have no idea why people would care for new PC hardware now. there is no point in getting new PC hardware until shortly after a new generation of game consoles is released. Eyefinity setups, 3D setups, or 3D surround setups. Not everyone is simply using a single 1080p 60hz...

scatmanWhy oh why there is never a good low end integrated or at least reasonably priced GPU given for comaprison in the charts. The numbers are quite helpless until I understand how much money I must spend to get N time the performance. People buy card only very rarely - and mostly are coming...

wolfram23I always find it almost shocking that the 6950 1gb and 2gb models have basically identical framerates even at 2560x1600 in all of these super demanding games. Do we really need more than 1gb VRAM? I always think about going triple monitors, and always think my 1gb is going to be a...

The biggest draw for the elder scrolls series the incredible devotion and quality of the modding community. Turning the series into a MMO would effectively kill the modding community as easy to mod= easy to cheat. There's a reason why no MMO has a good modding community (and I don't mean UI...

It's only SF that's really been having major unresolved issues. The Intel drives are fine, and the 8mb problem has been solved, and their Marvell based drives have zero issues. The Crucial Marvell drives had a error on release, but that was quickly fixed in a firmware update. So in...

@flong The article is title best SSD for the money though. Sure some people want the absolute best damn the cost and if this article was title best performing SSD's out there, your argument is valid. However, in a best SSD for the money article, an average 20% performance increase on...

@flong you obviously read a different review than the rest of us. Straight from the hardware canucks article http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/45718-crucial-m4-256gb-ssd-review-13.html Real world results shows very little difference between the best and worst SSD's...

molo9000Any word on MAC address filtering?Can you scan for the MAC addresses? It's probably easy to get and fake MAC adresses, or it would have been mentioned.*scans networks*12 networks here,1 still using WEP10 allowing WPA with TKIPonly 1 using WPA2 with AES only (my network) MAC address...

WhysoBluepandabearAnd the dude that said water cooling is loud, needs to re-evaluate his knowledge on water cooling. There's a difference between quiet and silent. There are many effectively silent PC builds out there ( < 20 dba). None of them are water cooled. Water cooling will only get you...

Current Cost per GB on newegg for the reviewed drives OCZ agility 3 120gb $1.50/gb (includes rebate. $1.75/gb without ) OCZ solid 3 120gb $1.62/gb (includes rebate. $1.79/gb without) Crucial M4 128gb/256gb $1.67/gb Corsair Force 3 120 $1.75/gb Intel 320 120gb $1.83/gb AData s511 120 $1.91/gb...

Yes, because clearly we should base all current relationship upon historical conflicts....so clearly we should be bombing the Brits right now for what they did to us back in the 1700's, or did you forget? It's because of idiots with a mindset like yours that entirely pointless conflicts over...

LuayRV-03 pushes more air and cools better than the 02, but it's also louder. According Silverstone's Tony Ou, the RV03 at stock cools equivalent to a RV02. Also not sure where you're getting the louder from since it's 2 AP181's instead of 3 like the RV02E...

joshyboy82False Ubercake! I have an Asetek and it works great. My overclocked processor is never over 55c. Benchmarks are quite conclusive. The best closed system water is still louder and worse performing than the best air. It cost's more and at best, requires a much higher fan speed and...

Well the future need of games really depends on the console market. Until they push out next gen consoles, all the major games being made won't take advantage of modern GPU capabilities simply because the games are designed to work on the 5 yr old hardware on consoles. To date, Crysis 1 is still...

Thanks mjmjpfaff. I really don't understand why flong is the one person trying to push the OP to buy a 1200W PSU when everyone else here is stating the opposite.
