    AOpen Motherboards

    Experience while I was playing around for a couple of years in VIA Arena forums tells me that, at least for VIA-based mobos, Abit gives speed whores above everything else. And I know many other dudes in my immediate enviroment who have been able to o/c them successfully to high ratios. Are you...

    Maybe you have to channel your hate elsewhere, though, cause for the time being there is no real alternative. Windows, Office, Internet Explorer... all are top apps. Nothing works that good and has such support/compatibility with 3rd-party content. I've said it in the past and I won't get...

    Beating Dell

    Hi, sorry to pop in... :) I'm sure small ma'n'pa shops can still beat big retailers in prices in respect to what you get. The situation is basically the same in Italy and in Greece too, so I can confirm Mercutio's and Tea's claim... ...but, is it possible the difference in price to be...

    Shhhhh... fortunately I don't live there. :mrgrn: Well, even if I lived there I would be OK. It will almost sound unreal but I was too much lucky: my father was the 1st person (yep, they told him that over the phone) that asked for the pilot ADSL service in my city (Thessaloniki) 3 years ago...

    [NEWS] - Ultra-fast downloads : The Fast TCP system

    Indeed but remember that some of the best and most-used broadband ideas (DSL) where put in practice using the existing infrastructure. There was speculation in the beginning that everything had to physically change to have access to broadband and DSL proved the twin copper wire had a long long...

    [NEWS] - Ultra-fast downloads : The Fast TCP system

    Yep. That's true. Swedes make us rest of EU nationals blush with those broadband solutions and long-term Internet investment thinking. But Fast TCP is a packet protocol, not a connection method. They can coexist.

    [NEWS] - No more "Built by ATI" cards

    This is sad. But then again: how many of you having Intel- or VIA- chipsets buy the respective mobos from the chipset manufacturers? Sure, compatibility and performance should be optimal, but you'll miss the bundled goodies the independent manufacturer (ie. ASUS) places in the mobos-graphics cards.

    Well you're right but still most people can't understand the difference between 80 and 78F, instead (sensible enough) they can if it changes from 27 to 25C, as you said. This is IMO a plus. For everyday life Celsius is perfect because of its perfect scaling. Moreover, digital or quality analog...

    There is one big difference P5... People deliberately sap the enviroment! Exhausting the IPs before implementing the new standard, means businesses and persons which for a short time CANN'T be served, thus... revenues lost. I would say that the IP thing is more like the Y2K bug. Businesses...
