    Benefits of having OS on SSD beyond boot times?

    Ok so I did it, I got a 60GB Vertex 3 drive and I'm not using it as a boot drive. It was an absolute torture to get it working, I had to do this linux boot thing and secure erase it before it was visible, drove me nuts trying to figure it out. But here is a problem I ran into and a solution...

    AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 Processor Review Comment Thread

    If they can sell a lower clocked 8 core for close to $150 and a quad core for $80 or less I think these chips could actually do well. they can't compete at the 175-300 price point though. those prices reflect more of a "well I'm stuck with AMD so will be cheaper to get the best AMD chip than to...

    AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 Processor Review Comment Thread

    Well I dunno I feel that's within the margin of error. Those games look GPU bound to me, it's sorta impressive it can do so well at shogun, but why does he have 8xAA on in the other tests? that's not going to affect CPU load in the slightest and only makes the results more reliant on the GPU...

    AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 Processor Review Comment Thread

    You say GPU bound but if you have GTX 580 or any sli combination equal or upwards it's going to be the CPU that makes the difference. You could have two GTX 580s but if you run a FX-8150 your not going to get 60FPS in GTA IV ARMA II or Shogun 2 maxed. I don't think it would make the AMD look...

    AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 Processor Review Comment Thread

    Can i ask what the reasoning behind the games you picked? Why not test F1 2010/11 or Bad Company 2? those games are known to scale well with additional threads. Or how about Shogun 2 or Arma or GTA IV, games that are known to be some the most heavily CPU dependent games around. I really hate the...

    How are they going to continue to develop bulldozer if they go bankrupt in six months?:doh:

    AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 Processor Review Comment Thread

    WOOT WOOT! I just switched from AMD to intel and I'm trying to sell my phenom II 945. LOL it's scores just barely behind the fx8150 in most of the gaming benchmarks. phew dodged a bullet with NCIX sending me a broken AM3+ board, I would have been infuriated but now I'm just kinda giggly. AMD...

    Benefits of having OS on SSD beyond boot times?

    Basically I'm getting an SSD and don't really see any reason to reinstall my OS on it. I don't really care about my boot times, my computer just stays on. But there are applications I want to launch quickly, mostly my Adobe suite, and i want to use it as a scratch/cache disk. But yeah, I...

    Gigabyte Z68XP-UD5 Motherboard Review Comment Thread

    truly ugly software and BIOS So really there is like Zero difference in overclocking potential with more phases? Like in theory it means higher voltages will be more stable? But it never seems to translate into letting you run the chips at lesser voltages.

    Why you think the 3rd core gets so much hotter? Mine does that too.

    Why no Freon cooled systems?

    the Hardware canucks reviews seem to imply they don't work any better than a equally priced tower cooler. I suppose it's pretty impressive they work at all.

    Why no Freon cooled systems?

    What if I took that cooler and put it in a freezer chest? would the water freeze or would the whole freezer warm?

    Why no Freon cooled systems?

    As anybody ever tried hooking up a compressor and running Freon through their system? Like take apart an old refrigerator or something. Lukewarm water is still only lukewarm water regardless of how many radiators you have. Oh how about a sealed Air case with one Exhaust and one intake where...

    Want to Buy Phenom II CPU

    I'm probably going to be selling my phenom II x4 945 soon. Probably going to list it in the local classified. It's 3.0Ghz but it runs at 95w which makes it compatible with a lot of lower/middle end AM2/AM2+ boards. Actually the fastest processor you can put in a AM2 board. It does overclock if...

    FX-8150 vs 1100T vs 2600K Chart

    Really they would just surprise release it like that? Have they even officially said anything about Bulldozer in the last 2 months? I have such a low level of confidence that it will come out this month. like October 12th is the date they'll announce the date? How could it possibly come out with...

    Why is everybody a Voltage wussy!

    That would be neat if they released all that information in their press kits when they release K series chips. I doubt they'll hand out more information than they've already given.

    Why is everybody a Voltage wussy!

    My evidence is intel saying 1.52v. I'm simply stating that recommendations to run at a maximum lower than that amount are baseless conjecture. I'm just saying your statements should be backed up, mine already are by the engineers.
