Any processor. The boards that I was looking at previously were dual Opteron.

Why did they ever leave the original Quake and Unreal Tournament behind?

Do we really want something that eats "i"s? Speaking of which, I'm *with* i....

So why would this make the system more stable? All of the power comes from the same place.

Megahertz myth, meet the megabyte myth.

They already make an HDTV chip for set-top boxes. They'd just need to put everything together in a way that works.

So are those extra four pins just so that the processor can have it's own tap on the power supply? Maybe I'm just not seeing the point of this.

"I haven't missed a tailgate party in six years. I'm not going to miss one now just because we don't have a team." - Mike Vranic of Mentor, Ohio, after the Browns moved to Baltimore

That's my thought. Then why specify a standard?

I was putzing around, looking at workstation motherboards, and noticed that most of them require an EPS12V powersuppy. This was a new stardard to me. Turns out, all that the EPS12V standard does is provide additional connectors for the +3v and +12v rails on the power supply. Given that the...

I believe that declaring the South "won" is a bit premature.

The proper frame is to remember that the world wasn't made; it just came into existence. Therefore, the world wasn't made for anybody, let alone you or me.

Gigabyte? I'll keep that in mind for a future purchase....

At the Driver's License Bureau: Sally: Cars must have some huge power we haven't discovered yet. Look at this, the lines, the waiting, the testing. Harry: Can you imagine what you must have to go through to get a gun? -- 3rd Rock from the Sun

Another meeting of the lonely storage geek's club?

Fast fact: The banana tree is an herb.

Well, there are a lot of people out there trying to figure out why the Sandra scores on their RAID 0 is so low....

It's a lot easier than Thanksgiving. It isn't a national holiday, and you aren't expected to visit *and* get along with your family.

"As for me, I have no idea why language was invented, but I strongly suspect it caught on because it was an effective way to spread gossip and tell nasty jokes about the tribe on the other side of the river." --Cindy Kandolf

I think that they should call it "Mozilla Browser" It's simple and hard to confuse with something else.

"When I bite into a York Peppermint Patty, I get the sensation that I'm floating on a bowl of tangerine Jell-O, as marsupial nymphs cleanse my soul with moist towelettes."

Remember that an external supply has to be hardened against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune....

"The Internet is a good tool to use to get on the Net." -- Bob Dole

How much would an external 300W power supply cost anyway?

"Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here." --Dan Quayle during a visit to Hawaii in 1989

So Alabama is becoming more like Kansas?

They should really consider designing these things into some kind of heating blanket. I'm sure that it would sell.

Licensing is a great idea. Not only can we force people to have a clue, we can make money at it! I'd also vote for removal of the "reply to all" button for those not meeting a minimum competency.

I've actually had Windows bitch about NTFS partition x being corrupt, but read and write to it perfectly. And you can hard-reset your computer as much as you want, and Windows will still boot!

Hardware, n.: The parts of a computer system that can be kicked.

You can do that?

One must realise that there is a difference between those who do RAID 0 because they can, and those who think that there will be some monumental change in performance.

No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney

So, how would this thing go into a tower case? My impression is that this is good for very hot Intel processors, and bad for everything else in your case.

Stupid megahertz myth.

And they can't seem to admit it....

When angry, count a hundred; when very angry, swear.

If you're buying, let me know.

Where do they get off calling it football anyway?

That's just poor game design. Unless you're optimising your computer for Halo, there's not much reason on that front.

True. But it's not Microsoft Flight Simulator players who are going to RAID 0. It's FPS and RTS players.

On ne meurt qu'une fois, et c'est pour si longtemp!

For most games, everything is loaded up when the map starts. For multiplayer, any good game would give no advantage to those who can load the map faster. So, really, you just change what you're doing when you wait, not that you wait.

Yes, but you're digging on the flat part at the top of the S-curve.

I think that the issue is lot more subtle than it comes out to be. In one of the press conferences, someone asked why this hadn't come up in testing. The reply that was given makes me think that how the files accumulated is as important as how many of them there were.

That would be a separate apps disk....

It's amazing what a little hair gel can do....

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

I predict that I will not be watching the game.

I was thinking about something along the lines of Rice Krispies boxes with 50-pin connectors....
