RADIO_ACTIVEAgreed I don't know why people buy factory OCed cards, it seems silly to me Amazingly enough, many people greatly fear overclocking anything, but are OK if a company does it for them. That and very often factory OCed parts have better fans/heatsinks which sometimes covers the price...

Gotta love the close competition...now if only ATI and Nvidia would agree on a 3D standard, physics support standard, and data process streaming standard it would be nervana for software devs and gamers alike. ;)

While I definitely agree some of the anger is over the top unreasonable. Some of it is also very well explained. You post a title, and I spend the time reading. If I feel my time was wasted, naturally I'll feel annoyed. The alternative for the frustrated readers of course is to stop reading...

Jagocat pretty much summed it up for me. People with real hardware software knowledge often like to see people get the most for their money and see the most efficient and cost effective solutions rewarded so that such trends are reinforced and continued. A company that designes everything it...

On a side note, in general I have to aggree with what seems the majority consensus. With the exception of very demanding tasks (video editing, compiling, heavy file manipulation, etc.) there's hardly a reason to purchase an i5/i7 when you can get a sub $100 processor that will easily handle...

Would have liked to see the x3 720 OCed next to the x3 435 OCed. It would make the OCed benchmark more meaningful since the 720 is even easier to OC and its more likely that buyers of it will over clock it. In general showing non overclocked black edition AMD processors is silly. Most people...

Man...with halloween around the corner you'd think he would have just found the ultimate costume prop... "Its time to make this party EXPLODE!!!!!"

Eccentric909Quite a few of the 10" and 11" netbooks are starting to come with a 1366x768 display. I've forced myself to hold off on purchasing a netbook until 1366x768 was more of a standard netbook option. I'm still holding off though, until after the holidays, hoping to find either a great...

icpjbThe Memory cartel knew that Rambus patented technology was far superior to anything out there and decided to steal it instead of pay for it and drag it out in the courts for 15 years. ALL memory currently in use is based on Rambus patented technology. And as far as coming up with anything...

Rambus is like this evil zombie that never dies.... You always hope that it will somehow get turned to ashes and launched into the sun...but no...it keeps rising and jacking with things. They are clearly pretty proud of themselves...maybe if they are so smart...they could... 1) come up with...

[nom] replace Scientology with all organized religion Trust me. Scientology is a whole different level of evil vs. pretty much any other religion. Most religions at least in some manner try to tell people to be nice. Scientology teaches you to be an @sshat and like it. They have some...

It just floors me that battery overheating keeps on cropping up in laptops for the last few years. Sony...apple...dell...hp Wtf are the engineers doing? "Well gollie mr manager we just kinda expected that our laptops would sorta mystically not suffer the same problems as others despite having...

Getting people to "donate" $.13 may be petty but I can understand where they are coming from. I honestly wouldn't have a shread of respect left for some company that decided they wanted to send me to jail and fine me some absurd amount of money for hosting a server but never actually breaking...

jsloanw7 appears to be more stable than vista ever was...it certainly runs faster and ties up less resources... Hrm... so far (granted I didn't install it until sp1 was out) I have yet to have a vista system crash. Not mine, not my wife's none of our friends. While I'd certainly agree that...

Saying that pirated software was used d/not = software sales lost. Someday these analysts will get a clue on that.
