Cheers, mate. You too.

What do you think of Windows Metro?

A new dSLT camera - the Sony SLT-A57. Should be arriving Jan 2nd or 3rd :D

So... what does this measure? GPU power? Overall power?

Dunno - I don't think it means that much. I didn't connect McAfee to the antivirus until it was explicitly mentioned that that was the case. I don't think it matters that much - if anything, it...

Are you just looking for a good CPU/Motherboard combo? That's really the only thing that needs to be AMD-based.

I think if you're looking to go the AMD route, you really have to get a cheap...

Hey y'all -

Merry Christmas, or Hanukkah, or whatever you do or don't celebrate. Whatever you're doing or wherever you are I hope you enjoy the 25th and the rest of the holiday season.

I...

*deep gasp* Oh? How?? Too much time w/out the machine!!!! *at this point start hyperventilating*

Gotcha thanks.

CDsDontBurn, how'd it work out for you?

It totally isn't - I imagine that there are tons of spammers, trolls, etc. that make life hard.

smp?

How does that work? Do you swap the video card out when you go to bed or something?

Oh sweet. Thanks for the freebie, PP Mguire.

Geez. If his lawyer is smart, he should say that McAfee is unfit to stand trial. Or something along those lines - at least there's a lot of evidence to back it up.

As for how interesting a movie...

Ahhh. I just use Windows tools to capture screenshot - snipper or print screen. Is FRAPS totally free?

tga?

Didn't he get a camera crew to film and record him during his arrest? Weird.

Nice screenshots. How do you guys manage to get such good screenies? In general, the image quality on mine is very low. I just use Print Screen.

Lol nice. The Vertex 2 is kinda old... that is, for a rig w/ the specs you have.

Great. That's a nice rig to have folding.

LOL.

Dang Pablo - got any other cash that you want to throw around for kicks and giggles? I've got a real nice Radeon 5450 :D

LOL I guess. Sometimes I feel it's OK to get "trapped", if you're a tourist. Although I have to say - doing your research and seeing the really good stuff is way better than going to places like...

I guess that's true. Black Friday is actually downright dangerous. I bet there are 10+ casualties per major store (i.e. Best Buy, Wal Mart, Target, etc.) Although stores are getting better at...

Lol yeah - they were tourists - it's like a disease, whenever you go on vacation (for some). I know I've done it a few times. :(

Really? People use 64GB for SRT? Seems dumb... just use mechanical for programs and you'll still get the lightning startup (which is the main motivator for me).

The SSD with the Smart Response lost lifespan?

I bet that's true - if it's being used as a cache, a lot of read/write is going on. That'll obviously wear on it and it'll probably lose performance.

I once read a story in a book on social psychology phenomenon. A storeowner working a tourist gift shop had some "American Indian" jewelry - topaz or something like that. Anyways, she was going out...

Ooooh yeah that's a good one.

Also, the dropdowns at the top get hidden by the ad in IE 9. Hasn't been a problem for me b/c I only use subscribed threads option which is, thankfully, above the ad.

More expensive is better... generally a good rule of thumb. Until you get scammed. :lol:

Right. So if you're already using an SSD.... not gonna make any difference.

In general, I don't think it's really a smart investment. Sure, you get the boost, but you have to get a board w/ the...

I guess I'm sorta after the sale, but if I had cash (I don't :*( ) I would probably have looked for a nice 23" monitor or memory or SSD deal.

Thanks mate.

Did you just run an output cable into the Vixia and then transfer the Vixia footage to your computer?

What's the advantage of doing that?

Yeah but a full dSLR is guaranteed to be +400 or more than a camcorder w/ the same capabilities. It's a shame I guess.

Quoted b/c it rhymes :D

Personally, I'm using Prime95 32-bit (or at least, whatever was around a few years ago). I don't think it really matters. I'm not really benchmarking in Prime95.

I'm kind of sad that I didn't see this post earlier.

Just for future reference (if anyone really cares), there are a few things that matter.

1.) Build Quality (you should really just check this...

I'm using the iPhone 4s. Good phone. Solid and powerful.

1) Processor - Intel (1), AMD (2).

Intel b/c they're the best. AMD because they're budget friendly. And also b/c there're only two choices.

2) Motherboard - ASUS (1), AsRock (2)

ASUS...

Why would your use differ from an average user? What, are you benchmarking your SSD every day? It doesn't seem to me like the stress on your SSD would be any different. (This post isn't mean to...

Probably more die in the bigger chips.

There are a lot of great SSDs out there.

There are, as always, considerations to be taken into account, but I think that if you go with any of the following manufacturers, you'll be perfectly...

Lol that sucks bro. 20.2mbps ftw here! :D

Yessssssss. AWESOME BUILD! I love it!
