    the Athlon 64 a actually a very cool CPU. but I bet the P4 is a Dell. they seem to always under cool their CPUs to keep the systems quiet, in the last upgrade n my office, we had 10 out of the 50 Dell systems die on us because the CPU over heated.

    Water cooling in the PC world that is used for OCing is Water Chilling. the water that is run over the CPU area is chilled before it is sent there so that it can lower the CPU temp below Room temperature and make it possible to OC it higher than normal. the apple method is simply running a nonconductive liquid over the CPU area and then condensing the heat out of it and sending it back like a radiator in a car. no chilling.

    you could have fooled me. when ever a story comes on the boards there is invariably PC fanboys bashing the mac.

    as to the water cooling. the water cooling IS NOT A CHILLER!!!!! it is simply a system to QUIETLY remove heat, not a system to lower the temp of the chip to below room temperature.

    my point about apple is the double standard that exists in the PC community with regards to apple.

    I don't consider them until they are in the 150's and even then, unless it is a huge upgrade, I will wait for the 100 range.

    Doom runs great on my friends 2400+. what matters most in games is the GPU features and the GFX card Memoery size, hell, a GeForce FX 5200 with 256 MBs or RAM is good enough to get 30 FPS (Doom 3 is capped at 30 FPS, or is it 60?) at the second highest settings.

    hm, well considering all the processors from the 2400+ to the 3000+ have nearly the same clock speed, the only difference is the amount of cache and the FSB, does it surprise you?

    the name gimik worked great for AMD, they make it look like they are making progress, but in reality their chips are all clocked the same. funny how AMD fanboys bash the G5 for only going 2.5 GHz.

    oh, hi, I have a 7 year old son who has his OWN DVDs. gee, so I am gonna make him ask me to watch one of HIS MOVIES? see, it is a learning experience for him. he scratches a disk, he loses it and does not get another one. that teaches him to be responsible with his things.

    I refuse to take parenting advice from some pissant kid who's only experience is to help out with the kids his parents take on.

    NEWS FLASH!!!! being a parent is more than wiping butts and interacting!!!!!! when you do have kids, you will understand. you cannot complain about your kids to your mom and have her take care of it like you do with your siblings. you are the final word and your kids cannot appeal to some one else. you do not have to spend weeks in a hospital because your brother was born with a congenital disease.

    get it yet? probably not but you will one day.

    yeah, so basically a blog is as useful as an editorial so blogs will remove the power from the editorial pages.

    just wait. 20-30 blogs will rise above the fold and become popular international reads and have as much influence as NYT and Washington post editorial pages.

    what the hell do you think editorials are? they are opinions that are as false, bullshit and trolls as a blog can be.

    Besides that, Blogging has some high profile and respected blogs now and it is only a matter of time before more pop up.

    Blogs will replace editorials because they are an editorial but the people can have instant feedback. plus people can find a blog they like, they are not locked into a single source like you are with news papers.

    what possible reason would you have for not just using the CTRL Click on an apple laptop? your left hand is always on the keyboard, it took me a bit, but the ctrl click combo is not hard to use, and I prefer it and the up/down arrows rather than a right button and a scroller.
