Thats a good point... Do you prefer those clients over Outlook (other than cost)? Maybe I should just start using Outlook but I want something to sync better than IMAP...

Is there a webmail service better than GMAIL?

I've had a gmail account for like 8 years and I'm still trying to get a sense of its capabilities... I'm sure most of you are fairly familiar with these complaints. 1. No wildcard support (ever feel confident doing a search without it?) 2. No sorting (good searching requires it once you...

Can you MOVE a RAID1 Array on a P8P67?

Thanks! Thats exactly what I want to do, but its a new SSD so I'm going to change to RAID then install windows first... Does it make a difference as far as whether the mirror should be recognized? I didn't think so but thought I'd ask. Also, what free tool do you recommend for cloning my...

Can you MOVE a RAID1 Array on a P8P67?

Getting my replacement P8P67 tomorrow and I'm wondering if I need to move my data off and re-do my 2TB RAID 1 mirror. Since its the same board and same controller, but I think its hardware raid, what do you think? Just going to keep it on the same sata2 intel ports so I should be able to plug...

Intel says flaw in Series 6 Sandy Bridge chipsets

Exactly... I'm not for being an early adopter if I have to pay out the nose for bleeding edge performance, but I got my 2500k and P8P67 for 330 from Microcenter the day it came out. it sucks that I have a 5400rpm 2GB mirror on the Sata2s, but a 25$ PCI-ex controller fixes it for me...

P8P67 RAID issue

Well, I know the Marvell's not as good as Intel's ICH sata3 controller. But my question was, my boot drive was built on the Intel configured as non-RAID and a sata hard drive. Now that the Intel is configured as RAID, booting to it results in a blue screen. I fixed it simply by...

P8P67 RAID issue

So finally got my 2500k setup on a regular P8P67 board. I had two sata hard drives, both plugged into sata2 Intel ports and one booting. The other drive... I just bought an identical one thinking I'll mirror it for data. Got the mirroring set up, then tried to boot to win7 64 bit...

To 2600K or not to 2600K : That is the question

This typifies a philosophy which is very alien to many people. Your motherboard limits you on many fronts from using current technology, be it Sata3, USB3, faster DDR3, etc... Even if it doesn't, early implementations are usually buggy, slow, and not 100& compatible. If you're on your...

Ask all your 2nd generation Intel® Core Questions here for our webcast on Jan 5, 2011

The answer to that is that you need to output via the IGP to at least a secondary display in order to use quicksync, and there's no display out hardware on a P67. Which leads to the better question of whether intel will release a driver or something to enable the hardware without requiring...

Is Sandy Bridge REALLY worth the wait?

I'm saying it can go both ways. During the initial 3-6 months of obsolescence commodities like hardware will likely fall in price till the glut is gone. Then it will steady and even rise as it becomes rarer and harder to find. Then it'll go in both directions: you might pay a pretty penny...

Is Sandy Bridge REALLY worth the wait?

Not sure if this falls under common sense or micro-econ, but once demand drops on older tech and production ceases and begins on newer tech, the glut of older tech for mainstream folks drive the prices down because what replaces it can be had for the same price. For something like DDR2...

1366 is absolutely the worst way to go unless you need absolute top of the line right this minute and have cash to spare. You're still paying 175-250 for a mobo and getting locked into triple channel ram with negligible benefits. You can go 1156 and get an i7-87X and save 50-75 bucks on the...
