you are right, Indians are smarter in at least one respect, given a choice a gora will choose to screw an indian, Well so will an indian.

ATI stakes claims on physics, GPGPU ground By Scott Wasson - 11:09 AM, October 11, 2005 One of the more surprising aspects of ATI's Radeon X1000 series launch is something we didn't get a chance to talk about in our initial review of the graphics cards: ATI's eagerness to talk about using its...

I would like to see what the hardware testing groups say about these as well. Considering the ATI is only a few % slower than the best Nvidia boards, if they did anything to cut corners it will fall far behind in performance. Even though the ATI uses an entry level GFX chipset still cut down...

Its missing the Chinese edition available now in India... 9. Windows Vista Super Edition Includes all previous 8 versions on 1 DVD and extra Office wares...

You can always use an old PCI GFX card until you get the PCI-E one. I am happy with the MSI built in one. Now NVidia also has theirs? Not sure how good that is and can overclock up to 240MHZ? MSI is only 220 and 229special mode. The Sony DVD does not come with the BENQ CD full of extra tools...

I hear the Honda is the most cost effective one in the world. It is spiffy but not overly so. It has power to stay up but not enough to be dangerous and the latest colors and models makes one stand out in the crowd. And the price is not so high either, it is in the medium range compared to many...

Dr orca uses Sun Java while the update to it, Avant browser uses Microsoft Java. I prefer Microsoft java because it is much faster than Sun Java where you can see flickering when you scroll even on my AMD 3000+/MSI computer. Also the fonts are different in Sun and Microsoft. AND the avant...

I suggest you file a police complaint for theft of your laptop by Acer. Hire a lawyer and file a case in the justice court for compensation for loss of work and wages. Once papers are served their lawyer will contact you probably in the next few minutes. I am serious. Maybe not about the police...

Ultimate Boot CD is completely free for the download, or could be obtained for a small fee. If you had somehow paid a ridiculous amount of money for it, you have most likely been fleeced. The least you could do is to make as many copies of the offical UBCD and pass it to your friends, relatives...

You can now overclock this MB with either CPU cool @ 229MHZ or ClockGen for ICS951412 @ 220MHZ. I am running an AMD3000+ with 2-512MB PC3500 in dual channel and using RMClock to do the cooling. So it now normally runs @ 1150MHZ and ramps up to 2060MHZ at load. You do need a heat sink on the...

With Windows NT you can do Raid0/1 in software and dont need anything special. I been doing it since NT came out. Yes it does increase performance a whole lot. In boot up times and things like file copy etc. The best thing for the average user is, using 2-40MB drives and getting 1-80GB drive...

Actually HP is better than many companies. But customer service is only one small regard in that matter. HP has also merged with others like Compaq which was much worse. One of the main reasons they do not provide support is, HP like many others do not fix their products. They replace the...

The yuden came with the drive since it was a retail box. But it trashed the disk. Liteon makes the worst absolute worst DVD writers in the world. Although it seems their latest the 1635S or something (not my 1653S which is much older model to replace the 812/853 and just as bad except it makes...

No free channels in the US :) well there are the basic channels for a price but everything else costs. They are all encrypted of course. So you do need the box. I think they are now even encrypting the sat channels, the free channels IE like ABC, NBC etc because people were watching shows aired...
