Whats really ironic is that nVidia's much hyped dual channel DDR archtitecture, arguably the most unique feature of the nForce platform, only really adds performance in specific non-gaming situations.

I believe that Quantum was merged with Maxtor lately. I'm not looking for the highest performance, just reliability.

Thanks Saem, you replied excellently to both my posts. We also show the least amount of RMA's with Seagate, mostly due however, to the fact that we have sold very little Seagates to our customers. What we are looking for is a solid, high performance IDE drive for our mid end video editing...

Slightly off topic, but as a graphic designer, I find the logitech dual optical to be the best mouse I've ever used. Its nice for games, and combined with my LCD, I get per pixel precision when I'm mousing around in Photoshop and the like. I tried the MX series, and while nice, it seemed...

I work at a computer store currently, and Seagate is an enigma to us. As far as we can tell, they used to sit in the server market for HDD's, then they tried to make it big, go crushed by the competition and crawled back into the server market again. What I would like to know, is whether...

Is it just me, or is the latest news pertaining to HP's plans to sell Opteron based systems strike you as strange and unusal? As far as I know, this is the company that invested million alongside Intel to develop the Itanic. Why all of a sudden are they pushing the Opteron? Perhaps, I...

I live in canada caff, everything is expensive here. what I meant about rich sort is the frame of mind they have when they come in the store. They usually want something cute and small and dont care how much it costs.

I noticed this as well, Its like a hard line right wingers convention in here sometimes. Then again, most programmers and highly technical people I know are conservative right wing bastards who voted our crazy PC government into office. Strange eh?

yeah, the desknotes are neat, especially when you get those rich sort of people that don't want a full size computer, they just want something small and cute to put in the kitchen. then you dont feel bad selling them a full out laptop, knowing it will be sitting in the same place for most of...

Chipsets are one thing, actual motherboard quality is a whole other tomato. The reason Intel is perceived as a higher quality is that they tightly control the quality of parts used on the motherboards. Remember that nasty capacitor scandal? Intel used the old type despite the extra cost and...

you know what I like baseball for? long car rides. nothing like the white noise banter of radio announcers and the baseball crowds on the AM band to sooth the ears and shrink a long car trip down. try it sometime, its awesome. the hours just melt away. otherwise, baseball sucks.

same situation as you up here in southern ontario epic, simply depressing. odd thing is, I went up to blind river last week (near sudbury, moose country, far up north in canada) and the further up north we got the nicer the weather got. Up there it was sunny and 27C every day. In fact, as we...

excellent, I was wondering about yours. I was also wondering about K.I.L.E.R's nickname.

As the the title says, how did you come up with your posting nickname on this board? Personally, mine comes from a particular brand of Curling broom that I liked the name of. Also, I hate it when people think my name means Bender or Sender, its just "Eight Ender" dammit. Anyways, with...
