    Who'll be the better president?

    I am voting for McCain, but because of Palin. She is really an intelligent woman who can relate to the average person, IMHO and who is an Washington outsider who hasn't been bought out. The obama camp complains when the McCain camp returns with the facts rather than the rhetoric bull the...

    politics section in forums

    I am sick of politics, but looking at Palin isn't all bad. I agree with Polaris573 though.

    AMD and ATi Remorse? Does it exist on TPU?

    I just ordered the DFI LP UT 790FX-M2R (opted for this one over the DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH)and have on the shelf a 9950BE that will go into it. I also have 2- 4850's that I will run in Crossfire and 4GB (2X2GB) of Corsair Dominator @1066. I will say my expectations will be met and I won.t...

    AMD and ATIC of Abu Dhabi to Create New Semiconductor Manufacturing Company

    This is good news for AMD and their consumers. OEM's will start investing again with confidence, with better hardware support for the AMD platform. Kudos to the thinkers at AMD and for ATIC for investing in a company they believe in. As for Ruiz....he is like a bad penny that keeps...

    I want to switch back to ATI, but have ???

    My 2-4850's are running great in cat8.8 The only concern I have is all the hype about ADM/ATi playing havoc with their drivers. I read the 8.8 release notes and found nothing about what is discussed concerning this issue. What I would like to know if someone can link me to some creditable...

    ATI Deliberately Retards Catalyst for FurMark

    I would dare say no game in the next 6 months will push it that hard, besides in 6 months we will be talking about another range of ATI and Nvidia cards anyways. To me this is just another bitch session about ATi, not with standing that we excuse Nvidia and there sub par build quality as of...

    Whats better?

    Well right now NewEgg has the Phenom 9950BE for 176+ and Zipzoomfly has it for 179+, so I just ordered one from ZZF. Great price to performance ratio IMHO. Hell if your a gamer at higher resolutions for the most part, the GPU takes over. I was weary getting the phenom at first but for that price...

    ATI Deliberately Retards Catalyst for FurMark

    Well my 2 4850's from diamondmm have been running great. I bought the pair for 138 each after the rebate. They run hot but I don't OC either. So is this limited to powercolor and their card bios? The life of a graphics card isn't that long anyways. With improvements, upgrades and so on...

    Phenom - is it good?

    can you share the bench test(s) that supports this statement? I would like to review it myself.

    Phenom - is it good?

    I read hear and over at Nordic Hardware they linked that Hardspell review (translated by google to English) of the 45nm AMD cpu. While it looks promising, I have become very leery of pre released reviews. I only wish that AMD would give out the hardware to western bench sites for an all around...

    Microsoft Spins Over a 'Mojave' Approach to Grow Vista User-base

    Mussels what makes you right and others wrong? You were negative with eastcoasthandle for presenting the other side of the coin, and me, you sir need a lesson in etiquette. I listen to your opinions ....such as this one excerpt from your first post in this thread; Quote by Mussels...”90% of...
