I noticed it when you were just shy of the million. I forgot to follow your progress afterward. Congratulations. LiamC will join you in the seven figures soon too.

BTW, the Freezer 7 Pro usually sells for quite less than the price asked by Newegg.

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is probably the best value for an LGA775 heatsink. It isn't near of the cooling prowess of the category leaders like the Thermalright Ultra120 Extreme, but it's cheap, relatively quiet and a lot better than the stock Intel heatsink. It isn't too heavy either...

Eugene posted a review of the same 750GB WD drive a few days ago. It is the second-fastest Western Digital drive in SR benchmarks, second to the 150GB Raptor. It lags the 1TB Hitachi by a good margin though.

Here's the link. I hope your french isn't too rusty.

nForce 4? Don't install the Nvidia Firewall. Don't enable NCQ/TCQ. Try a PATA drive instead of a SATA drive. P.S. I buy my hammers locally, not in Canada.

You obviously lack the talent to correctly configure this computer. Get rid of it by shipping it to me and let me alleviate your suffering. I'm such a good guy that I would be willing to pay for the shipping. ;-)

That's what I read on a French site. I have no idea if the source is reliable or not. If true, AMD is in business. A 2.8GHz Phenom X4 will beat anything Intel will be able to push to the market until the end of the year. The timing will be crucial for AMD though. Phenom has to ship not too...

My own E6400 can't overclock at all on my GigaByte GA-965-DS3. I have 2GB of OCZ Gold 800MHz DDR2. I don't know why, but the system won't even boot if I try to run the CPU over the stock speed. I have the F11 BIOS flashed on the GigaByte board. With a 2.76GHz E6420 with twice the amount of...

Power supplies are a lot less efficient at 10% or 20% load than they are between 30% and 80%. The 1200W toy would be a waste for an average computer and certainly a lot less efficient for anything else than the most powerful gaming rig. Even an AMD FX-74 with HD2900XT in Crossfire wouldn't...

RAM price increased a lot during the last two days. +7$ for 1Go DDR2 667MHz.

You mean futile.

Thanks for taking the time to make the P35 motherboard list, Wavemaker. Out of the 16 boards, the MSI Neo2-FSR packs a lot of features for the price. The Gigabyte boards are expensive. Asus boards too. 135$ seems like the bottom price to get a good board with decent overclocking features. I...

Go Daddy! ;-)

He wrote the least interested, not at least interested.

I'm sure it was love...love of money.

E.O.T.Y.

RAM went up slightly. 2$ more for a gigabyte of DDR2 667MHz. Higher speed grades became a lot cheaper last month, but now the progression is flat. Regular DDR dropped during the last two weeks by ~10%.

August. No price info, sorry. I gathered the info about the new Seasonic from several sources.

Is this only a comic way to say "announced" or is it another english word I've never encountered before? This is the second time I noticed you use this word.

Another one bites the dust... :D

The Core 2 Quad Q6600 drop 100$ on my price lists today. Still not the July 22nd price, but one third of the road is done.

What wasn't clear with my previous formulation?

No. Several Hitachi models, leaded by the new 1TB drive, have performances close to the Western Digital drives.

Seasonic M12-700W. It is noisier than the Energy Plus models, but it is quieter than almost anything else in this power range and it has modulable cables. Efficiency is upward to 80 percent too. If you can wait, Seasonic is about to release a newer model and IIRC, the efficiency is supposed...

Put some well spotted dynamite bags in the Yellowstone caldera and you should have your major natural disaster.

The machine he didn't know what it was for is called a printer. It puts the soldering paste on the PCB before the Fuji, GSM, or other insertion machine places the surface mount components on it and then it goes in the oven where the soldering paste is melted. I used to know how to calibrate a...

Review. According to their tests, the drive is very fast. It gives the 10Krpm class a run for their money. The new Caviar is advertised at 250U$.

I finally found a reason to use the ignore feature of this forum. Thanks. No need to reply : I won't be able to read it.

It IS an SFX power supply :

I was sure the NSK3300 uses an SFX power supply. If it ever breaks, Seasonic makes an excellent 300W PSU in that form factor too. It is easy to service (SFX power supplies are normally retained by only two screws).

Your pizza thread cost me one this evening, despite the fact that I have no money. You are all evil.

My car has the same age as Pradeep's and it is even less thirsty (albeit slightly). I can do 730~750Km on a full 50 litres tank. It isn't an Eco/Yaris. The particular make/model isn't your freaking business.

Bush a lesser evil than Al Gore? You can really read anything in our forums.

I've been advertising P35 motherboards for at least two weeks now. I don't know if it has been released, but I know for sure it is for sale.

Go spend a few weeks with Paugie helping the kids. At least they'll see that wealth doesn't buy happiness. Giving hope to someone else is a good way to get some for yourself. Or you could climb mount Everest and brag about it for the rest of your life... Too bad you're not as overweighted as...

You gotta be kidding? Even in liquid nitrogen, I don't think a PII can make it up to 2.66GHz.

I think law makers should be pushing bio-diesel instead of ethanol. Bio-diesel is easier to produce, is less damageable for the environment, works in more fuel-efficient diesel engines and could be cultivated inland. I read something about a new type of culture that allows to grow...

I'm not religious by any mean, even though I often sacrifice a white virgin (an beige box) to the god of computers. I wasn't offended at all by Paugie's link. He is giving hope to young people in difficult situations. What he is doing is very commendable. I can understand the need to believe...

In the X-bit Labs article, it is written that the capacities other than 1TB will be 320GB, 500GB and 750GB.

I must be thick, but I don't get it. Read that guide. Vista has to be activated within 30 days before it goes nuts. Activation delay can be rearmed three times. So let say you have 30 days free, then you need to rearm once (+30 days), then a second time (+30 days) and you're allowed to rearm...

That's what I've been doing today. Unfortunately, the motherboard apparently didn't support the core stepping of the PIII and PIII-derived Celery I tried on it. I'll do more experimentations tomorrow. It must be something that can be fixed with a BIOS update.

Mine or his? I usually don't read his posts, but I made an effort that time because he received praises for it. Let's say he won't have any from me.

Paugie, I knew it existed, but I feel sad every time I see people in that situation. She seems to be happy anyway, which is good. And her house is kept cleaner than mine (which is sad for me). You know what's ironic? She earns 3$ a day and she has a house and apparently enough (although...

F Y I read my posts in that thread and there's nothing racist in there. You don't seem to know what racism is. If, for instance, I would say that you sound like a frustrated puny little egg yoke with no life, that would be racist. In the Ford thread, the only time I talked about the...

Anyone else has problems with unit 2652? I can complete other units without issue, but the 2652 always fail after 7 steps. This is the cause of my recent drop in points.
