    Vista 64 is coming and I'm feeling the itch....

    I've switched to Vista 64-bit, with a new Q6600 @ 3.2GHz, 8GB DDR2, and 9600GT. I'm not going back to XP. All of my video editing applications work fine and fully utilize all four cores. Vista and all applications run smooth as butter on my system. Sometimes I wish I would've bought two...

    Realtek ALC888 onboard audio

    I have a Gigabyte GA-EX38-DQ6 that has onboard Realtek ALC889A audio. My old computer had an Audigy 2. I'm running Vista 64-bit, and the ALC889A sounds good for listening to music. But the mixer is lacking an equalizer and treble/bass controls. So everything sounds muffled to me. The mixer only...

    Vcore - BIOS, CPUZ/HWMonitor report different voltages

    I have a Q6600(G0 stepping/VID: 1.2875v) that I am overclocking to 3.2GHz(8x mult x 400MHz). In the BIOS I selected Vcore of about 1.32, but CPUZ and HWMonitor show a lower value of 1.29v. Should I trust BIOS value over what's reported from CPUZ/HWMonitor? I have loadline calibration turned...

    Rocketfish by Lian Li Aluminum Full Tower Case - first impressions

    Can I install a power supply that has a large fan on it? Like this Antec. It appears that the mounting holes only allow for this power supply to be mounted with the fan down. The case has a raised area in middle to support the supply. I'm not sure if bottom facing fan is good...

    G.SKILL 2GB DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

    Wow! Nice deal on 1066 memory! I ordered too soon. I ordered the Mushkin HP 2x2gb instead. Hopefully they will also go down in price, so I can get some money back. Newegg will give money back within 30 days of price drop. These are 2.0v. Standard is 1.8v. Personally I'd rather have lower voltage.

    Rocketfish by Lian Li Aluminum Full Tower Case - first impressions

    I'm not sure what to think about this case. Got it for $50, so I probably shouldn't complain. I was originally going to purchase a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000. It is a heavier case, with padded side door to keep the noise down. I also have an Antec case that is a lot heavier, due to it being made...

    Intel X38 - Can it run memory faster than CPU bus?

    I'm getting a Q6600 with a X38 board and plan to overclock it to 3.6GHz. At 3.6GHz, I've read that the memory would run at exactly DDR800. Is there a way to bump up the memory speed faster, while leaving the CPU speed at 3.6GHz?

    Rocketfish Full Tower Case (similar to LianLi PC-A71B)

    Has a door on it. Why do all these new designed cases have doors? I don't want to be opening a door, everytime I eject and put a CD/DVD in my burner! Where are all the good cases without doors? Otherwise, a good deal for a media center PC, where you want to hide the front.

    Nvidia 9600GT vs ATI 3850/3870 Power Consumption

    I've recently read several reviews that compared these cards. Every review shows different power consumptions. One review shows 9600GT with lower consumption, while another has ATI in the lead. I currently have a 7600GT which only uses approx 100 watts max. I'd like to find a replacement that...

    Did the search but not satisfied Q6600 vs Q9450

    Where exactly are you seeing Q6600 for $199? Current prices are $250-279 everywhere. You don't need 3rd party cooling for Q6600. The retail heatsink is good enough, even with an overclock of 3.6GHz. Mine is running 56-58c on stock cooling. Low enough temps and 100% stable.

    AMS Venus T4U 4 hard drive external enclosure ($90 shipped AR)

    The problem with that AMS enclosure, is that it requires a specific RAID controller chipset to work with. The ones that Fry's have, includes the pci card in the box. This means you can't take the AMS to different computers and plug it in without that pci card. It does not have built-in hardware...

    Sans Digital MS2UT for $139.99 @Frys today (and online)

    That review was for the MS2C1, a different enclosure. But I'll tell you my story on this MS2UT.... I would like to comment on the MS2UT that I recently purchased. It is a mixed bag of problems. I have two Maxtor 7200 Proline 500GB drives in it, in a RAID-1. Sometimes when I power up the...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    I bought both the Samsung 225bw and 226bw. I ended up returning the newer 226bw. I ran LCD gradation and banding tests on both monitors and could see no difference in quality. The 226bw had the same amount of backlight bleed as the 225bw. The 226bw has a "dynamic" backlight that adjusts it's...

    Free Harman/Kardon CD Visor Wallet

    Yes people. Listen to weepul. Look at the address. Never sign up for anything "free", unless it comes directly from the manufacturer using the manufacturer's official website.

    Monarch Computer BEAT THE CLOCK Sales Event

    I'm not sure why Monarch is so big on these forums lately. They were never a second thought, years ago. Are some of the employees now posting these deals? If so, they need to fess up and buy AD space on Anandtech. Not use Anandtech as a free ride for their sales. Monarch isn't the only one...

    Creative Gigaworks 7.1 291.67 AR={$100}

    Thanks. btw...there sure is an increase lately in Monarch "hot deals". Do any of you work for Monarch? Did Monarch cut a deal with Anandtech to advertise their deals this way? Sort of reminds me of Dell on here. It's bound to be Dell employees posting all the deals on here.

    Memorex DVD+R / 50 Pack - $14.99

    Warning...Don't use these to archive stuff you want to keep. Like family photos, etc... Memorex usually is CMC or Ritek. I had some Memorex discs that went bad after a year in storage in my closet. Could not retrieve the data off of a lot of them. These discs are good only for temporary usage...

    Ultimate DVD Writer - $54

    Isn't BenQ = Acer? Like they bought out Acer? Acer was always low quality and cheaply made in my books. But I'll try this drive if someone can point me to some good reviews of it. I want and need quality burns with quality media that lasts. I use mostly TY MIJ and Maxell MIJ. Does this drive...

    Panasonic DVD-S97S for $239.99 Shipped

    There is no way upscaling DVD players can "extract" more quality out of a DVD. DVD's will always be 720x480. What these players do, is first convert the frames to 720p/1080i, then smooth out the jagged edges, which make edges smoother in appearance. They don't magically give the image more...

    Panasonic DVD-S97S for $239.99 Shipped

    That seems pretty high price for just a DVD player these days. For $250, I can get a Lite-on Recorder with HDD. I have the Panasonic S47S, which I bought for $99. It is an older model, but basically the same as S97S without HDMI. You are paying $100 more just for added connections HDMI and...

    FREE Ford fusion $50 gift card

    Hmm...Looks like Ford finally opened their eyes and hired new interior designers. The inside looks very similar to a Honda Accord. Sleek gauges, rounded dash, etc. No more hard edges. But I wonder if the plastic they used is of the soft-type plastic and of heavy strength? My parents have always...

    News story you see on main stream tv news

    This is why the U.S. needs to construct a heavly armored wall across the entire border, and post armed guards all across it. If someone tries to cross, shoot and ask questions later. These people that cross into U.S. have no respect for their own country of Mexico. They also have no respect for...

    EPSON Stylus Photo R200 -Refub from EPSON $59.00

    I had this printer at one time. It eats ink for lunch! Everytime you turn it on or off, it goes through an initialization phase. It does a cleaning of the heads and uses ink in the process. After only about 15-20 times of turning it on/off, it will have wasted 1/4 of the ink in each cartridge...

    Pop/Soda $2/12-pack (YMMV - regional)

    You don't really believe Splenda is safer than aspartame? It isn't. It is basically chlorinated sugar. (Chlorine). Chlorine is a known poison if you don't know. Yet it's being used in many ways, in many products, including our water over the past 100 years. You need to read up on Splenda before...

    Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Pre-Order Collectors Edition $49.99

    $49.99 still wasn't what I would consider "hot". Especially if you tack on the shipping. In store, it will be roughly same price, and you get it the day it comes out. Now maybe if it was $39.99 with free shipping, then that would be hot.

    ZoneAlarm PRO 2006 for FREE AR

    20" Widescreen LCD 1680/1050 $359 AR

    I would not take a monitor even with ONE dead pixel. I consider that a defect. If you get one with 7 dead pixels, then take the front apart, and make another one dead yourself. There...you can return it to Newegg. I'm tired of all this Pixel Policies. One dead pixel is too many IMO. Good thing I...

    World of Warcraft PC game and card- Mac/Windows 49.98 is Back

    Looks like no one is interested here on Anandtech. I don't blame them. Having to pay for the game plus monthly is ridiculous. Game should be free if they are going to charge you monthly to play it.

    Logitech MX610 cordless laser mouse - $19.99 AR + free shipping

    Nice price for a good ergonomic mouse. I have the "old" MX500, which is an optical wired mouse. It works great, and personally I don't see any reason to go to a laser nor a wireless mouse. My mouse is as precise as I need and no worrying about charging it up. Good find for those that are...

    Star Trek Enterprise: Seasons 1-3 - $45 each @ BB

    Half-life 2 Aftermath pre-order $11.99 shipped! **Dead**

    Hot or Not

    I agree. This is a great price for those wanting to hold on to AGP for another two years. I have a 9800 Pro 128MB, and it has played everything I wanted also. It's lived up to my expectations and surpassed them. I play Doom3+expansion, Half-Life 2, and others. All at 1152x864 which is acceptable...

    Symantec Norton Antivirus 2006 - OEM $19.99 Shipped
