What's funny is that the 360 is officially going to be more expensive for consumers if they want features found on the PS3. Worse yet is that even with all the upgrades, the PS3 will still have more features. Have you guys heard of being able to play your PS3 games on the PSP anywhere in the world? I'm not confident about this since I read it in Game Informer but I do feel confident about being able to stream content to the PSP similar to how a Slingbox works, which is one example of a feature you won't be finding on the 360.
I remember this being discussed because people found manuals and found out the default password. This is pretty sad, if you think people are stupid enough not to try a default password, than you're stupid enough to be robbed. It's like writing down your PIN number on your ATM card. It's a retarded move.
That's why I see as their merger with ATI as so vital to the future of their company and computing as a whole. GPU are an untouched resource. I think that OS's like Vista are going to have to start using GPU's in order to recover ground lost in terms of speed and efficiency.
Maybe it's wishful thinking but a lot of people are going to realize that their PC's are garbage when it comes to gaming and that's thanks to Intel's chipsets. If AMD figures out a way to ship a cheap CPU and GPU bundle, things will forever change.
That's because you're not aware of the power of using the GPU in coordination with the CPU. Folding certainly shows GPU as a force not to neglect. You also fail to realize into your comment that quad cores are two dual cores. AMD and Motorola would do this sort of thing to claim next tier technology when in reality they were today's tech on steroids (They often fix GHz speeds with two CPU sets). Now, for some reason, AMD has opted not to do that and we'll see the true worthyness of this strategy with the release of the true quad core.
Interesting, only reason I said it caused damage is because after I reformatted the problem persisted and disk check revealed damaged areas. It was a Maxtor from 2000-01. Thanks for your thoughts, both of you.
In my years of being a computer user, the only times I've faced damaged hard drives was when I passed it's capacity. I'd notice Windows complain about being low on space and I'd scramble to delete something I didn't want. If I didn't finish in time, Windows would crash on me and clicking sounds or excessive load times followed. I always imagined the reader arms reaching the extreme end of a disk and doing a fishing motion as it attempted to go into the other reaches of nothingness, which in effect, destabilized the spinning disks or magnets. I know this is groundless, but does any that knows what they're talking about when it comes to HDD actually agree/disagree?
Closes his grip? The person with a strangle hold is George Bush with his policies. You can't travel around North America without a passport anymore.
*New flash to those that never knew you could*
And all your state ID's are about to go down the drain because a new National ID is set to ship in 2008. You won't be able to get anything you'd normally be able to get without it. And they all have RF chips in them.
I like how you used closes instead of closed since in Venezuela there's still hope, but here in the US, it's in past tense. Bush closed his grip on all of us, including those in Iraq who are going to be there for the next 10 years protecting corporate interests.

Because I was giving examples of pre-GHz companies and how they reached such speeds.

That's funny. We had to beg China to trade with us. Europe could careless about our economy. Why would they risk their bottom line for us?
