    Fusion-io SSD Setup Screams Along at 1 TB/sec

    nonxcarbonxWhy doesn't the author name the price? "If you have to ask..."This isn't a review, it's an article about a curiosity. These news stories shouldn't be so vague that I have to go fishing for info on my own. "If you have to ask then you can't afford it"

    New Intel 34nm X25-M SSD Firmware Brings Impressive Performance Gains

    Is it just me, or are these specs not-so-special for SSDs? A 70mm RunCore [MLC mind you, in an EeePC] will clock 250MB/s read and 180MB/s write. Please explain how these are so awesome? Just the usual hype and price gouging by Intel, when the alternatives are simply better.

    4870x2 Performance

    Slap taken :D. Given that my last rig was a 2.66 Celeron with 1GB DDR400 RAM and a 128MB AGP gfx card, basically all of this is new to me. I'm still wondering why it OCs only one GPU and not the other from what I can see, or is that all automatic too? Well, I have quite a few games, but first...

    4870x2 only in Windows safemode?
