Surely it is the fact we have only just got past Christmas and the Economy is struggling may have something to do with Samsung and Acer's Laptop sales... oh and the fact that their build quality and...

This is true! I went from an ASUS P4P800-SE to a P5E3 and the quality of the X38 based P5E3 was awful, it had a lot of issues with the BIOS too and design, using a 4Pin 12V connector to power the...

It is looking like this could be a potential errata/defect with the i7-38xx and i7-39xx line of CPUs

Have a look at the following information on intel's site and see what you think?

Intel Xeon...

Well it seems that now nVidia are finally releasing a Linux 3.1 Kernel for Tegra2 and Tegra3 devices, oh and they are working on 3.4!!!! (For Jellybean!)
Coincidence?

Any power saving technology is a good thing, however as most have already mentioned within this thread, the real killer is the display! Those high resolution backlit displays eat up a lot of battery....

These are extremely fast cards, Kudos to ATi for pushing up the Mhz.
However I think the GTX 680 is a more feature rich product, you get CUDA, PhysX, 3d Vision, and better OpenGL support than what...

Intel also had a similar issue with PCI-E 2.0 on the X38
All nVidia forceware drivers newer than 190 disabled PCI-E 2.0 on X38

Nope, I have 8GB and I admit that even 1600Mhz is not stable as I am running a Quad, but I can get close to stability, however am wary of frying things due to the voltages required to stabilise the...

I think the power consumption would be through the roof! This would surely have to be a dual PCB design to even work?

EA cheapens the word Games which follows thereafter.
Steam sales are great revenue money spinners for the devs and also great money savers for the end users, it also gives people an intensive to try...

Those points are fair enough, and I do agree that I think Linus was unprofessional and went a little over the top singling out nVidia.
What about Creative?
I am sure that most hardware vendors to...

Hi Rollo
I hope you do not think I am trolling you or anything, but I just thought I would like to say that just because you do not know who Linus is, just not mean he has no significance in the...

I am sure it has already been mentioned, ATi's linux support is far far far far far worse than nVidia's, why he chose to single out nVidia is baffling.
However what I will say is that nVidia are so...

It seems that quite a few manufacturers are not moving to the new C1 stepping X79. I asked ASUS and they said not for current boards as the new stepping only resolves SAS issues?
I was under the...

While we are on the topic of discussing High resolution displays (marketed as retina displays by Apple ;) ) You might be interested in this beauty called the vp3280-led by View Sonic

I hope Saaya is ok too, he is a nice guy and helped me quite a lot. We chatted a bit through PM too.

Thanks Andrew, that is VERY interesting :)
I guess what remains to be seen is how Apple implement the use of this display on their OS. There is speculation that only the text and UI elements are...

On a lighter note....

How true is that?

I think 1366x768 is 1080i the resolution which was used by early HD Ready HDTV's (slightly better than 720p, but not as good as 1080p)

Thank you zalbard and Trinibwoy for clearing up some of the confusion I was having with the display in the new MBP.
One thing is certain, the display itself is a great feature, I would love to have...

I have, it appears that the display IS capable of 2880*1800, but the Mac is not, so it uses a scalar to scale images to 2880x1800 at default
However some people are talking about various hacks to...

You are right that Lenovo et al do tend to use screens which can be shoddy Kallenator, the only thing I like about Apple is that they use IPS screens for most of their laptops. IPS is certainly the...

Have ASUS moved onto the new stepping of X79 yet?
John

I agree 100% Windows 8 as it stands is NOT for me.
IMHO Windows 8 is specifically targeted at those all in one touch screen PC's and tablets. The UI looks a lot like the Nokia Lumina phones and it...

Yet another over hyped, overpriced and underwhelming Apple product...........next!


It is also not very reliable or secure. I am shocked that Apple did not include a Ethernet port, there are many...
