lol somehow i just laff when i see pics of hot womans holding computer hardware ... most of them (probs all of them but dont Quote me on it lol) would'nt even know what DDR3 1333mhz even means so why they holding hardware? just make them look stupid lol ... sorry just my opinion.

 

[Guest]

toms hardware site must have to much money to throw around is all i can think, i'd even go as far as to say the hardware looks better when placed nicely on a display table lol

 

[joeblow1010]

[catswold]

aha i sus'd the pic of the woman laying on the floor with her hand on her hip with an motherboard laying on the side of her was really an accident ? did her boi friend come rushing in with his latest purchase to be installed in his PC when in his rush to get through the door bumped into the unexpecting girl friend knocking he to the floor and motherboard luckly landing on her and hopefuly undamaged by the fall, that could explain why she has her hand on her hip with a unamused look ?

 

[Guest]

yup the close up shot of the motherboard confirms luckly it is not damaged, nice catch girly phew.

 

[Guest]

i'd be well pissed if i was her as it's just an micro-ATX board ! although she would of been more understanding if it was something like the Asus MAXIMUS V FORMULA ROG Intel Z77 Socket 1155 Motherboard i guess.

 

[xonic]

some of those parts look so huge on the models. I like picture 12 the best, it's a nice looking hard disk

A modest "Sport's Illustrated", hardware version.

I am waiting for the earth to shatter when women's lib gets wind of this ...

Then again, they have "udderly" failed to make a dent in this area, except may be to rip pictures from walls.

 

[_Cosmin_]

In picture 7 you put the wrong close-up !

 

[thegambit1337]

only a true "NERD" could tell what parts are in the pictures. although you can get your daily porn fix and get some shopping done. HE-HE!

Umm....When did Toms Hardware turn into the damn Spike network? What's with all these stupid models? How low-brow and tacky is that? Judging by the comments on this article, the average IQ level (and age) of readers has dropped significantly since the last time I was here. Tom's Hardware used to be a place to get honest no BS reviews on computers and hardware, not a pubescent skin-show... These models, while attractive, have absolutely no place in these articles. And they just look *incredibly* stupid, holding computer components like they're fashion items or something. Frankly, it's insulting to the readers, and the models. The credibility of this this site just flew into the toilet. More depressingly, I have come to the realization that I have aged outside of the target demographic of Tom's Hardware. Goodbye Tom's Hardware....goodbye.

Wow. The models are the only reason I stick around. kidding.

They are really nice to look at though. The fact that they're holding hardware in provacative poses is more humorous than anything in a Benny Hill-ish sort of way.

You can't take life too seriously. I don't feel too insulted from a site I choose to visit. For the most part we get a lot of tech from Tom's. This is my primary reason for being here. Switching it up once in a while isn't so bad and I find it funny. Who the hell wants to stare at a piece of hardware anyhow?

 

[casperstouch]

Do the models come with the Gifts, or are they the gift themselves?

The 7850 is not made to handle "Higher Resolutions" like triple monitors or above 1200P because the Graphics Core is not powerful enough. 2GB of Vram is a waste from what I have seen.

As the 7850 outperforms the 6970 in a lot of situations I question this while also agreeing the 7850 isn't a tripple monitor gaming card. I get the feeling the 2GB buffer is only usefull in CFX
