    Future of SSDs Not So Solid: Research

    This research is kinda loosy.The technology is evolving sooo fast, that it is a stupidity to predict what will happen in 10+ years from now, most likely until they get to 6,5nm fab process, the SSD's will be more or less obsolete. Also you should already know that the NAND Flash isn't a...

    AMD FM1 and FM2 Packages Pictured Side-by-Side, Incompatible

    And which package/design is not archaic?That's sounds way too ala fanboy you know. And yes it makes sense these to be incompatible, there are going to be changes in the new APUs force AMD to make them incompatible, so ppl don't start to make experiments and end up with dead CPUs or MBs and then...

    AMD A-Series APU Smashes IGP Performance Records...Surprise

    WOW, wtf performance @_@ This thing is really eating the sh1t out of Intel, seriously.I wonder if you can do Hybrid CF-X with a discreet 66xx/65xx desktop card..... True indeed. Do we have to mention that Llano can be OCed even in the lower models, where SB simply can't.Another chop off the...

    Gigabyte Readies 990FXA-UD5 Socket AM3+ Motherboard

    The only thing the board is missing is a nice buldozer inside :D That will come soon anyway, seems like a good buy to me :)

    ASUS Working on MARS II Dual GTX 480 Graphics Accelerator

    The only way this can see real world "life" is if they supply it together with 1000+ W PSU and a water cooling system.From all the GTX 480 I`ve seen and tested, I`m certain that there is no way to consume anything under 600W under load (if not more).Yes it will be heck of a monster performer...

    AMD Raises the Performance Bar With Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

    With all the antitrust shits that Intel has come out, its wonder that AMD didn't "die" yet, its heroic from their part that they are managing to make such a nice CPUs as they are doing it since first A64 'till PII.Only an idiotic Intel fan could deny it.Period.

    Jen-Hsun Huang (NVIDIA): ''We Underestimated RV770''

    Its always been like that and in the end its the end-user who benefits the most. Only those fanboys lose cos of staying on the same coast.The situation is now the same as it was with 5900 Ultra and 9800 Pro/XT.NVIDIA will take an year or smth to recover as usual, then I guess they will release...

    Radeon PhysX Creator: 'NVIDIA Offered To Help Us', 'Expected More From AMD'

    More like NVIDIA was behind it since the start?I don't rly belive they just "made it work". How come noone made AVIVO work on NVIDIA cards?I know I know its a different thing but its either they reverse engineered the drivers or more likely someone "gave" em already working ones.Its good that...

    Best server OS for a school network of 90 clients

    For me there`s no clear answer to this. It`s highly dependable on the level of knowledge of the administration. In one case freeBSD may is the best choice but it requires years and years fighting the complicated monster called UNIX + some specifics that fbsd brings. In other hand Windows...

    New Linux Distro, Vixta, Looks Surprisingly Like Vista

    UNIX`s X wil never be as flexible as the M$`s one .... simpy the kernel and the modules architecture doesn`t allow that.Yes it may be made to "look" like something but never can be made to be used by my mother for example. I guess it will take the developer community like 10+ years to develop...
