I agree with nirdes, I use Chrome because I like the layout/style of the browser, also my experience being portable between work MAC, home PC and my MAC and PC laptops is sometimes crucial to what I do for work. I am well aware of memory issues with Chrome, I overlook them for the benefits of...

just bought the cans! what a deal!

Sorry for opening up an old thread, but need to throw in my two cents because I "had" the same problem and Gigabyte is slow to help. Originally I had a DVI-HDMI cable and toslink cable from computer to my Denon 3808ci receiver, and then monitor to my Sony KDS-50A2020. Slow on the build, I...

Zingam4 cores with 2 threads per core is more than enough for the general purpose desktop for the next 10 years... "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -Bill Gates

I am using the HP MediaSmart, and like it. It does exactly what I need it to do for now, which is maintain backups, and in the future when I want to use it as a file server, it is ready to go. I also have an HTPC, using an old athalon xp 2600 and Windows XP Pro, inexpensive sound card, and...

I talked to Bill this morning, and apparently these WILL BE a Diamond edition. It is only $300 dollars more and has a time limitation, but you can extend the time by getting your friends to buy Windows 7 releases: 4 Months for Diamond, 3 months for Ultimate and Business, and 2 months for Home...

Weren't these thingys originaly called SATA150? When did SATAI and SATAII become standard nomenclature?

I had forgotten to write about the solid state drives (somwhere around the third time I had typed "waiting...") yeah those WILL offer a jump in performance; we can finally be excited about hard drives again! Remember when having a 20 MB hardrive was the ultimate in speed and unused space? then...

Waiting...waiting...waiting... sata (current implementation) will fade away like betamax. like you said, the actual transfer rate from the platters will not consume more than the 3gb bandwith allocation. marketing bs. anyone want to debate as to WHY this (seemingly worthless) implementation...

Whoa. I think you MAY have your models criss-crossed. Double check, but I believe you are referring to the 4 series when you speak of the Xfi series not being much of an improvement. The 4 series was not much of an upgrade to the 2 series, but I would say the Xfi is a MAJOR upgrade...

You didn't mention which motherboard you are using...Tom's did a comparo of motherboard sound versus add in card, ie Audigy. Guess what, motherboards didn't hurt gaming performance enough to make a difference and the sound quality was indistinguishable. The Creative Extreme boards have a lot...

Before you start flaming each other on what is smooth and not, the FPS that is listed for games/graphics cards is AVERAGE fps. In other words, there will be fps below and above the listed number. So a higher fps would yield a smoother playing environment since their will be less fps below the...

Looking for some opinons. I assume most of you have read TG Daily's article, so how about some input from the non "experts". Me, I do not care if the PS3 comes with Blu Ray, HD-DVD, or either. I don't see the advantage or the need. Sure in the future there could be games that need 25GB worth...

Is that the best you can come up with? I hear your mother calling you, go home. By the way, I can afford them.
