    That was hilarious! Thanks for making me laugh so early in the morning. :laugh:

    Gotcha!

    Thank goodness!! I would have been lost without the video card reviews that you put together W1zzard. You got me good on that April Fools joke... but it is hard to be mad because the relief of knowing that you are staying put was just to good. :toast: Thanks again for all your work!! TPU...

    I will be leaving TPU!

    I may check Techpowerup on a daily basis, but I do not post comments very often. But, out of the respect W1zzard has earned from me I have to post a comment. :respect::respect::respect: I trust W1zzard's video card reviews more than ANY other in the internet. He tests every card with the...

    If this means we will be getting new All-In-Wonder videocards, then this is GREAT news!! :toast:

    Intel Losing CPU Market-Share to AMD

    With the current state of the economy, the lower priced AMD processors are MUCH more inviting... even if they offer less performance in some areas. Heck, if I am encoding a movie I really do not care if it takes 15 minutes or 30 minutes... I usually walk off and do other things or set up a...

    VIA Delivers Stunning Hi-Def Video and DX10.1 to Pico-ITXe

    ** The S3 Graphics 4300E is designed to offer extreme power efficiency with a total graphics subsystem TDP of less than 8 watts. ** Only 8 watts to handle the HD video... WOW!! Nice job VIA. :toast:

    Rivatuner 2.23 Released

    If you take the time to figure out how to use this utility, you will be amazed. It allows you to keep an eye on your video cards' vitals and sooo much more. I will admit that it does take some time to figure out though... not as easy as ATI Tool, but ATI Tool is really outdated and no longer...

    Phenom II X4 940 Tested at Stock Speeds

    Why they are running SuperPi on a multicore system!?!? Last I knew, SuperPi was not multithreaded... so the extra cores do very little to lower the time. To lower the time in the SuperPi test, you need to raise the speed of the CPU. There is one test you can do with SuperPi to show off the...

    Phenom II X4 Overclocks to 6.00 GHz on LN2

    True... but with this awful slump, almost ALL stocks have been going down. :ohwell:

    CHIEFTEC Launches L-type All-in-One PC Chassis

    Hmmm... I never seem to be part of the 'in crowd'. LOL. I actually think this case does have some good points. I doubt that a 120mm/800rpm fan would be noisy at all. And most motherboards can throttle down the CPU fan if you are doing simple things like web browsing. So, I think it could...

    OCZ Technology Launches New Low-cost Core Series Solid State Drives

    The thing that worries me most about SSD drives would be all the caching that Windows does. Don't SSD drives have a limited number or writes that can be performed on them before problems arise? Would the constant caching from Windows cause these drives to fail within a year or two? Or would...

    Microsoft Windows XP Downgrade Program Extended by Another Six Months

    Some of the eee's only have a 2 or 4 GB SSD drive. I am not sure if Vista could fit on those. But, dang... that surprises me. Vista beating XP with only 1 GB of memory. :o Thanks for the information and the link!! :)

    Microsoft Windows XP Downgrade Program Extended by Another Six Months

    I think the popularity of small laptops (like the Asus eee) is increasing the usefullness of XP. The defualt OS for these new laptops is Linux... or Windows XP. Vista is just to beefy and demanding to run efficiently on those little things. As the demand for the eee and its competition...
