updates. @ddrueding He will be upgrading to CS4 semi-soon. I also saw this page: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405711&sliceId Will CS4 make use of your computers GPU for processing power? I wonder if that applies to Photoshop or another app in the CS4 suite of...

Appreciate all the comments/suggestions. I'll check that mobo out as I've always liked MSI stuff. I do believe that he will upgrade to CS4 sometime in the future. I want to future-proof him as much as possible, hence the i7, lots of memory, and beefy power supply. I'll definitely have to...

I kind of suspected that to be true. Thanks for the info. I need all the good info I can get. If he gets the full 12 GB and sets up an 8 GB RAM-disk of some type...I wonder if that would help. I don't think he can afford a high-end SAS setup, but perhaps some 10k raptors? A little...

Core i7 Mobo 8-pin ATX connector. Thanks for the quick response. According to this page... http://www.corsair.com/products/tx/default.aspx (then click the resources tab and scroll down) ... it shows a picture of a "EPS/ATX12V 8-4 pin" connector. Is this the correct 8-pin connector or is...

A friend is building a new system and sent me his specs. I would greatly appreciate any input from the experts here. - This system will be used primarily for Photoshop CS3. No gaming. - $1400-1600 Budget (incl tax/shipping). - Wants a RAID-1 setup. I have some concerns regarding CS3...

That's a big number!!!!!!!!! http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ Will this number ever be less than 14 digits long? Can the national debt keep on growing indefinitely? Can we begin to get this monster under control or is all hope lost?

How many of you guys come across this stuff at your IT jobs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ7RkyBoBc Hilarious video.

Give your 3 year old computer to me. It will be 3 years newer than what I have now.

XP SP3 installed. NO problems so far. I read SP3 was killing old AMD systems (check my sig) with certain ASUS boards. Luckily for me it seems that the SP3 induced self-destruction only applied to certain vomit boxes. I finally grew some balls and installed SP3. I downloaded the network/full...

Not to be picky or anything but 600k rpm equals 0.05ms of rotational latency. 3.6k=8.33ms of rotational latency. 4.2k=7.14ms 5.4k=5.56ms 7.2k=4.17ms 10k=3ms 15k=2ms 150k=.2ms 300k=.1ms But yeah, SSDs are the future as far as performance is concerned. Conventional HDs will still be...

We've seen it all before. Some huge company sends a "cease and desist" letter to a small company claiming some dubious patent infringement. The small company can't afford a team of lawyers to defend itself, and is forced to cave in to the demands of the huge company. The huge company selling...

AT article quality Gary's article is a step in the right direction. It seems a review site's article quality is INVERSELY proportional to the amount of advertising on the site and AT is a prime example. While AT is still a pretty decent site, it doesn't "seem" to be as "good" as it was 3, 4...

Creative's second try... Well the Poop hit the fan, wall, ceiling, Fido the dog and even the garage door. Creative has backpedaled a bit with another statement. Too little, way to friggen late. YEARS TOO LATE. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=11330

The two stories below illustrate how utterly retarded Creative is as a company. Lousy drivers and customer support that's worse than their drivers. These bozos are on their way out and it can't happen fast enough...

A friend went ahead and bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115034 Not from newegg.com but a local shop (PC Club). Yeah, he should have bought a 2.4 GHz and overclock, etc, etc. Anyways......he has an EVGA 680i chipset motherboard that is NOT COMPATIBLE with the...

Video Card upgrade for AGP system. OK, thanks for the information. I'll get the cheaper x1950pro, 512mb. But of course the card linked above is no longer listed on Newegg.com....sigh. Anybody have experience with "HIS" brand Video Cards? Or any other quality, x1950 pro/XT, AGP, 512MB...

Hello all. Long time lurker of these forums, and before that, the SR forums. Lots of interesting topics with intelligent/thoughtful replies by knowledgeable and will informed folks. OK. I'm piecing together a system from old/donated parts. And I have everything except an AGP Video Card...
