mouse24cool! but im wondering how much higher this will push prices Reading fail. This is a bundle deal and not a standard offering. You'll be able to buy a bare/OEM CPU without a packaged cooler for years to come.

ironmbMilk the idiots for more money. I'm guessing you didn't see the part about the proceeds going to charity.

NapoleonDKWill Premier use less ram? Ableton? Crysis?I'm really hoping to see something FAST, something NEW. Um, the OS is in charge of how much memory the OS uses. It is NOT in charge of how much memory other applications will ask for.

I see all this chatter about BD in the server market, but none of my customers have even mentioned interest in it. When I can make a phone call and get an Intel rep out to host a free "lunch-n-learn" event within a week, I can't even get the regional AMD reps to return calls when a major...

Don't count on there being functionality added to the HDMI port. That port is just part of the motherboard they ordered for the system and not something they had designed as an extra. Holding faith in it being functional is similar to holding out for that port on the bottom of your original...

"Question is, how will it handle Crysis 2?" Wasn't it not six months ago there was multiple headlines by Tom's on posting guidlines? I see we are back to writing articles to troll the ancient and lame memes right out of people. Anyway, I'm glad to see these coming over to PC, albeit a bit...

mlcloudAlways best to look at stuff outside the box. Imagine if you gave the people with the creative minds at Sandforce the workforce and R&D budget of Intel.... I would be willing to bet they would become Intel. I know what you are driving at, but once that level of money is in the game, it...

Does the author know what 'bait and switch' means, or is he just applying it randomly to put more words in an article?

The best answer is a horrible answer. Build the system, install Win7, then loop 3Dmark and Prime95 for about 48 hours to make sure your stability is absolutely perfect before you go in jacking up the base clock and tweaking memory timings. That way you won't be running back to the forums in a...

If you are used to the color gamut of a CRT, get a HP2475w IPS panel. They can be had for $400 on sale most of the time. Mind you, if you are using a CRT for color accuracy and don't have a hardware color calibrator, you are probably fooling yourself into thinking it is more accurate. My Sony...

That was about as helpful as sneaking up behind him and beating him over the head with a stick.

Wow, someone will be pretty annoyed if they take the professional vs gaming card blurb seriously if building a CAD workstation. You left off stability, ECC memory, OpenGL acceleration, running temperatures, support for CUDA only being available in certain models for pro usage, and how annoying...

Hmm, a choice of three flavors of mass-produced plastic bits? That really doesn't touch the artist inside me. Though, if I were a chick, I'd probably do flips over the pink one.

LLJonesMaybe now people will start to see how lousy intel graphics are. Their cpu's can't be beat, but I would take an ati gpu any day of the week. Will have to check these out this fall. Note to all, try to not drop your laptop when it is open or you will be waiting for fall sales like me...
