PCI-Express is a bit different than a memory standard, PCI-E was clearly better. kinda like SATA vs PATA. IIRC, it didn't cost much more to buy a board with PCI-E/SATA such that it was that or spend the money on a better video card or faster processor... the problem of future proofing can be come at at other angles too:
1. there are several boards made (X38, P35 and X48 based that I have seen) that support both types of memory. if you wanna hedge your bet, and don't mind payin a bit extra, its not a horrid solution, though because of 2, I wouldn't bother.
2. how high of an FSB would you need to have to take advantage of say, DDR3 1600? I'm not sure, but its gotta be very very high, currently most of Intel's stuff runs 1333 FSB - which I would expect them to raise to 1600 fairly easily if AMD pulls the stick out and gets competitive. and DDR2 800 will keep pace with a 1600 FSB without being a bottleneck. and then, Intel will be phasing out the FSB soonish (beginning within a year they say) and at that point your old mobo is worthless anyway for upgrading. so, DDR3 on socket 775 motherboards would be useful only if you wanted to carry it on to your next rig (nothin wrong with that, but I'd rather save the money now or buy a more expensive video card or processor and just upgrade the whole thing once the new sockets come out.
seriously, complaining that OH NOES PEOPLE WITH 20GB models can't upload mods. then getting proven wrong and trying to say he really meant to say that hes pissed that he can't simply download the mods from the interwebs. faggot. man the fuck up you little bitch, you were wrong. I tend to agree that not being able to d/l mods straight from the internet is lame. You were wrong about the first thing you said (20GB and 40GB owners can't upload mods at all) and the fix is trivial - you bought a fucking $400 game system, pony up the 15 bucks for a flash drive, if you don't already have one you wanker.
tl;dr: admit you were wrong. admit that the fix is trivial. then bitch that its inconvenient.
yeah, because I never see anyone else on Warhawk. ever.
seriously will this "the PS3 isn't used for gaming" meme just die already? no, its not the dominant system, but I am not unhappy with mine, and neither are the other people I know that own one. The fanboyism, it burnss us.
throw in the fact that I got my orange box preloaded before you could buy it for console and I paid $15 less for it because I pre-ordered and the PC version is just plain win.
I laughed, but I don't have mod points:( man, why can't I get cases like this for my jury duty? instead of drunk driving and petty assault stuff... I know it sounds elitist, but maybe at least part of the jury pool should be assigned based on competence in the subject matter in cases like this? Medical professionals, Computer techs, Construction workers, engineers and the list goes on all have specialized knowledge that may not transfer well to those not trained in the field, having at least 1 or 2 on the jury might be the thing the jury needs to keep them from falling for the **AA from spewing buzzwords, putting up bullshit screenshots etc.
Yes, if only we could segregate those people of different ethnicities, we would be safe. there are far more pieces of the equation that actually have something to do with the crime rate than some tenuous at best link to ethnicity.
Yah, as of July 22 all of this changes. but then Overclocking would change the results now too. Interesting test, but the results are definitely to be taken with a grain of salt. man I can't wait for the 22nd, E6850 here I come.
because the quality of them tends to be pretty mediocre at best. PS, there is no goddamn way I am gonna mount anything near the size of that TT cooler on a motherboard without using a backplate. seriously wtf TT?
They tested the regular Thermalright Ultra-120, not the eXtreme (the extreme is actually a bit better, and so far as I have seen elsewhere is generally considered the best air cooler around) the review sucks for a variety of reasons, they used different fans for every cooler (and no mention of how many CFM they push) which makes their cooling results useless, they did no noise testing, and there were errors in several places I looked (for one: the thermalright is listed as being AM2 incompatible, but there is an adapter for it) They whine about the difficulty of installing many of the coolers (waa, we had to take the Mobo out) I dunno about them, but I generally install the cooler when I am building the damn system. ridiculous metric to mark down coolers for, at least the way they tested it. then there is the wretched 12836521 page review that could have been shrunk to 5 or so, but I guess that wouldn't have been enough page views for them or something.
You could go ahead and make that anything by L. Ron too:p I made the mistake of reading Battlefield Earth. at least I didn't pay for it.
and I would submit that Das Kapital is an important historical work (those that do not study history are doomed to repeat it and all that)
you may wish to check the source on that: http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_ id=858 Ford themselves say it got between 13 and 21 MPG. And it weighed 1200 lbs and had 20 HP, and had a top speed of ~45 MPH. have fun driving that around. apples/oranges comparisons are crap.
It won't be with Penryn - Penryn will be using a FSB (1333 on desktop procs, 1600 for server stuff), IIRC it will be part of the full architectural update and new socket that is coming after Penryn.
Agreed in general, but it sure kicks the hell out of damn near everything thats not racing coverage on Speed. And it kicks the hell out of NASCAR Racing coverage too.
The DMCA is/was a good policy? The DMCA is just one of many pieces of domestic legislation I loathe that he he signed and hasn't been allowed to sunset. lemme guess though. its really all those damn republicans fault, right?

unless there is no competition, yes I live in the sticks, and if I really Reallly wanted better interweb service I would move, but it isn't quite worth it to me. yet. this has been my experience with TDS telecom. (nicknamed by me Tedious Telecom, imaginative huh? )
I pay $35/mo for a plain phone line with no long distance and $50/mo for DSL service.
The DSL is supposed to be 1.5M/256K service but the connection won't download from anywhere at over ~350K/s down (bittorrent, file planet, wherever else, it doesn't matter, nothing will d/l faster than that) and chokes at about 55-60K upload.

"1.13 TDS Telecom residential Internet customers are restricted to 50 Gigabytes of bandwidth consumed (uploaded or downloaded) per month. If You exceed this limitation for two consecutive months, You may be required to purchase an upgraded Internet service for an additional monthly fee. See the TDS Acceptable Use Policy for additional bandwidth use restrictions."
They ship my traffic from Northern CA to Madison, WI. seriously. I couldn't manage a ping less than 150 ms to any west coast server, and was wondering what the hell for a while, then I did a reverse IP lookup.
The DSL goes down nearly every night between 2000 and 2300 for anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. there is no scheduled outage at that time that I can see on the website they maintain. (its really pretty random whats gonna happen each night. hasn't happened yet tonight. makes online gaming real frustrating at times though)
mostly because it beats the hell out of dialup, I still haven't called them about any of my problems, so this is really just bitching. maybe I will have time on my vacation time around Christmas.

this gets modded down before the OP... wtf?! *prepares for his own mod-down*
seriously, who pays for his crap? shouldn't everyone know that hes so far beyond bad its ridiculous?

compare Top Gear and 5th Gear to anything on the speed channel.
