Portability (assuming you mean an external that runs off only USB port power) is not a function of the size of the drive, but the type of drive. Portable ones are typically 2.5" (laptop) drives due to their lower power requirements, versus 3.5" (desktop) hard drives like your 750. I've yet to...

Boot camp is a pain only because of rebooting. But it works rather well, Windows is quite snappy. And yes it's really easy to get rid of, without affecting your OSX partition.

WD 320GB internal drive - 7GB free WD MyBook 500GB backup - 153GB free I just ordered a Seagate 7200.12 1TB to replace my internal drive today, it should be here Monday. They're so cheap now I figured what the hell. I'll upgrade my external with either a new drive, or just buy a bigger...

I always liked to associate new names with a new generation of products. Like in the last few years a new generation introduced a die shrink, or directx10 support, or something like that. Now something like a GTS240 is actually a card two or three generations old, but they make it seem brand...

Sure hope Xbox 360 gets some DLC too!

I've found crossover works for some things good, not others. Team Fortress 2 runs perfect at high settings and full resolution, although not as smooth as in XP; but HL2 does not run well at all, even though they're the same engine (and the latter is older!). The Left 4 Dead demo was completely...

So is this actually going to be a new chip, or just another modified 8800 like the 9800GX2

The FOXCONN link leads to the Sparkle page.

Loving the DVI-to-VGA adapter. You'd think they'd at least demo it with a digital monitor. I think ASUS is onto something with these. I can think of plenty of people who want a simple and cheap internet PC, and get stuck with a piece of crap from a major manufacturer that has Windows and a...

I wonder how much it will cost now that it has OS license fees.

It's all about doing better, but with a bigger budget. With overclocking, there's always that little bit more juice you can get out of it. Not just for benchmarks either. I can make a different between what resolutions you can run a game at acceptable framerates, which is more important with...

This whole time I'm really wondering, what the hell is Sony thinking when it makes all these decisions?!?

Most schools have license deals included in your tuition. I can get XP Professional (which includes 32 and 64 bit versions, two discs) for $5.35 USD. It's a completely legit license, however it's not for resale or OEM use. We haven't made the campus-wide switch to Vista yet so I don't know...

I was hoping for more actual interviewees in the video.

I freaking love my Mac, and OSX, and everything about it. The OS is rather intuitive and only seems to be difficult for power users (like most of this site) to get used to. The majority of my friends have recently made the switch, or have tried mine and go "wow that's pretty sweet". I still...
