Zalman rules.

Me, before clicking the link to read this article: "Hmm, I wonder how Hitachi and Samsung scored?" Me, after reading article: "Not surprised at all."

theshonen8899You underestimate Zalman sir.http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/produc [...] sp?idx=116 I want this case, but for my modern dual-Xeon motherboard, with at least an 800W EPS12V PSU. That case is absolute perfection, IMO. Now if I could just get one that works for my system. Perhaps the...

Zalman makes cases. Zalman makes CPU coolers. They should combine the two. When I look at all the aluminum on my case, I shake my head at how much work it could be doing, but isn't. Currently, a case is not much more than a metal box for containing all your components and the hot air that they...

JonnyDoughI buy the CPU that has the best performance for the money. Performance/value ratio is everything. Why should we even care about overclocking if the chip is already capable and a solid purchase? Exactly. All these people whining simply because they won't be able to make the chip run...

Brand loyalty is a mental deficiency, so I'm tired of hearing from all the fanboys, AMD, Intel or otherwise. Buy whatever is the best product at the best price at the time; who gives a flying fig about who made it. Staying loyal to a brand means subsidizing that brand whenever they are not...

Kinect will go the way of the Kin. The casual gamer market is tapped, and they will not move to the Xbox simply because MS has released the Kinect. Especially considering the price of the Xbox, plus the price of the Kinect, plus the monthly charge for the "privilege" of using your Xbox online. A...

OC'ing is pointless anyway, and it has been for years. Flame away.

Been using Opera since version 3.2. In response to people who claim it does not render properly: Opera is fully W3C complaint. If a page does not render properly in Opera, it is due to a failure of the page designer, not Opera. That said, I have not encountered any reputable sites that do not...

To hell with CoD and their expensive DLC. Not buying it, or any other game that follows the same price scheme.

gamerk316I was wondering when this biased stuff was going to show on Toms.Taking the two primary points of the investigation:1: PhysX isn't multithreaded by default2: X87 is old and depriciatedMy response:1: DirectX, OpenGL, C++, JAVA, etc are not multithreaded by default2: While NVIDIA's...

PhysX has always been shady. This should come as no surprise to anyone. I'm not sure why it's still around. Well, other than the fact that Nvidia wants it to be around. But with multi-core CPUs the norm now, why would I want to dedicate part of my graphics computing power for physics...

So close. I would get one of these if the keyboard's layout was closer to my mini-keyboard layout, containing all the function keys and arrow keys. Splitting up the function keys and putting the arrow keys on the keypad ruins the possibilities for this design.

I have a 6 year-old Savin that has the same capability. And my DLink DP-301U print server at home can add this capability to any USB printer. Yawn.
