It should probably be important to point out that the reason they didn't pay their fees to the server companies is b/c all their assets were locked as part of the legal action against them (this is pointed out in the BBC article). It's not that they simply decided to save some money, users be...

I think the issue is that the word "plague" is associated with a certain level of importance/severity that is not really representative of / uniform with this problem.... I'm not familiar with all the technical aspects but it seems like for a lot of people (those opting for ddr2, those not using...

The thing for me is... this stemcell computing, changing everything you know stuff sounds like it has to be either pure marketing hype of the worst kind or something truely huge. Now the things I have to wonder about are; a) Is something that huge really likely to come from a company...

Well, remember I said if Vista had a slow adoption rate. I don't follow that stuff close enough to really know what the actual adoption rate was like but the point was that the two are directly tied and I have heard the complaints, MS moaning about people not switching over, and personally...

At times you seem to be of the mind that the dying of Physx as Nvidia is pushing it now equates to the end of physics being handled by the GPU... I doubt this is the case. physx is just a physics devkit, same as havok. What Nvidia is doing is combining it with their CUDA to allow for the work...

I don't mean to seem like I'm picking on you or anything but I wanted say something about the DX10 comments... one thing people need to consider is that DX10 was tied to vista which a lot of people didn't like. So it shouldn't be any surprise that DX10 had a slow adoption rate if Vista had one...

It could have not been Nvidia only but when Nvidia developed this I'd be hard pressed to believe that it wasn't developed for their cards and that they wouldn't always retain some upperhand here (it would make sense for them to do this). When you consider that alternatives were coming about...

That would make it fall apart if I was arguing that AMD wanted to push physx if able but I wasn't... it's like I said, Physx won't take off unless ATI supports it b/c of the whole chicken and the egg thing and ATI just doesn't want to support it. And I can't see why they would. Physx started...

Physx is not going to kill anyone... it's dx10.1 all over again. No one is going to make/sell a game relying on this thing if it's gonna screw over a good portion of the market, or leave them left out of any significant part of the game. Unless AMD/ATI support physx it will never be anything...

That third last picture makes it look like a miniture barbeque ready to wait out the winter

It doesn't have enough logo tags on it. I want to make sure that anyone looking at my PSU knows I'm a hardcore professional gamer incase the zalaman fatality billboard (opps, I mean case1!) didn't already get that point across. On a more serious note though, on the 700W version, is that...

If you prefer one poweful gpu that's your call but I don't think it's accurate to say ATI can't get ahead with a single gpu when it's pretty clear that they don't want to. You may not like the x2s or eventual x4s etc. but ATI seems keen on the idea and so far it seems to be working for them...

Lol... Don't most of these boards also have crossfire capability? And wasn't it revealed the other day that it costs like $5 bucks a board to licence SLI? "Leading Motherboard Manufacturers Turn to NVIDIA SLI for new Intel Bloomfield" could just as well read "Leading Motherbaord Manufacturers...

http://www.auzentech.com/site/company/press.php#hdmi_lineup http://www.auzentech.com/site/company/press.php#combocard I think that might be along the lines of what you're looking for. Auzentech (iirc) was supposed to release that in Sept and pushed it back to Oct. With just over a week...

Isn't that quote essentially saying we were able to meet all the design criteria set out for a new cooler, and these were.... ie: they were actually able to make a lighter, cheaper and better performing cooler? Also, I'm not familiar with the Vapochill tech you were talking about but from...
