I've heard of people just getting a small sheet of teflon and using that. I prefer cloth which are pretty much all the same other than size.

I normally use Win7 backup utility if I have a HDD in the PC that I can temporarily store the backup on. Otherwise I use gparted to copy the partitions over.

There are lots of alternatives...

You can't blame OCZ for sandforce's problems. I hope the Vertex 4 with the indilinx controller does well for OCZ. They seem to get a majority of the hate while numerous other companies have/had...

You are missing about 30gb somewhere. A pretty normal Win7 install with hibernation, system restore, and page file disabled takes up around 25gb of space. Add your games and you should be around...

Either option A or D depending on how much space you need. Option B isn't possible (max 64gb cache drive) and C doesn't save you that much money over D which would have a lot better performance.

An actual multiplayer bf3 test with 60+ players, unfortunately not in english....

I hate how they still test BF3 in single player, and then say the results would be way different in multi-player and don't show us that. The only reason to play BF3 is multi-player. They are pretty...

970 chipset has less pci-e lanes, most run crossfire at x16/x4 and a few will do x8/x8. 990FX chipset will run x16/x16.

I didn't realize the price difference between the 2500 and 2500k had dropped so much, it has been a while since I looked at them.

For the PSU I was thinking more of a non-modular PSU, the haf is...

If he isn't overclocking I would suggest getting the non-k i5 2500, don't bother with a heatsink, and drop to 8gb of ram. Also the Corsair AX PSUs are awesome but expensive, I'd look at something...

It is pretty simple to do, you just have to create a cfg.ini file that will tell it the partition size and to ignore requirements. Then put it on the install disk....

I hope this means better pricing. I looked into getting a small msata ssd for my laptop so I could keep the hdd and dvd but the few options were very expensive compared to regular SSDs.

120GB is $120 after MIR, 80GB $80 after MIR and comes with $10 GC. In case anybody doesn't need 160gb of space, but at this price who doesn't?

It is an Intel rebate, so newegg isn't to blame. ...

Depends on what games you play. Search and find out if they are CPU or GPU intensive and then upgrade accordingly.

I still can't believe they didn't add more squads.

You could look into an SSD, maybe upgrade to 8gb of ram since it is so cheap.

I would do a fresh install of Windows anyway because of all the crap that comes pre-installed.

Yesterday there was a squad of players that would get their MAVs together and go on an attack. Hilarious at first but it got old since they kept owning me. It is hard to shoot down 4 of them while...

I'm not saying it is right, I'm just saying OCZ did the same thing everybody else did with the sandforce and jmicron controllers. Yet they get a lot more blame because their name and advertising is...

Again that was a controller problem, JMicron. OCZ should have tested it and said yeah these suck we aren't going to sell them to our customers but they didn't. Neither did Kingston, Patriot, etc.,...

Microcenter has 2500k for $180 and if purchased with a z68 board you get $60 off. The cheapest combo costs...

For office and BF3 there is no difference in x6, x4, or even x2. Video transcoding/encoding will see better performance with more cores and/or higher clocks. For x6 money though you could get an i5...

At Microcenter you can get an 840 for $60, maybe even $50 (there was a $10 facebook coupon, not sure if it is still running). Yes, it has a locked multi and no L3. However, you can still overclock...

What does the monitors OSD say? You should be able to press menu on the monitor to bring up its settings, somewhere in there it should show the current refresh rate. That will tell you for sure...

Don't get a Corsair Voyager, thing is giant. I knew it was larger than most flash drives but I didn't expect it to be 3-4x the size.
