    memtest 86+ fails on a month old DDR1 module. Should I RMA it?

    If the computer ran great, why did you bother running MemTest on it?

    Microsoft's new ads... guess we're not cool enough to be Mac persons ;)

    Yes, Silverlight bashing being the new "What? QuickTime? Forget it" is just ridiculous. Hardly could expect Microsoft to use Flash on their own website.

    Microsoft's new ads... guess we're not cool enough to be Mac persons ;)

    Her line "guess I'm not cool enough..." sounded scripted and seemed used to purposely thicken the division line based on "hip" factor when the line should've been, "...guess I'm not rich enough to be a Mac person." That would've struck home the point far better imho.

    Adultish games?

    Hook up with the old Leisure Suit Larry games.

    Converting 8 GB to 6 GB for Nehalem

    I have 8 GB of DDR3 1333 (2 GB x 4), same manufacturer, same model number, same timings, all 1.5v. Any potential issues I might run into with using 3 of the sticks as triple-channel for a non-overclocked Nehalem build?

    The only question I have about the 150 GB VelociRaptor is...

    Is there an audible "whine" to it? Disk access noises I don't care about, but a "whistling" or "whine" from the drive would drive me nuts.

    Avira 9 system hit?

    I clean installed it again early this morning, and I guess I somehow either didn't seem them, or fast-clicked through the real-time spy/malware scanning options last time. I unchecked all of those components as a test, and blamo, the "snappiness" returned.

    Avira 9 system hit?

    I'm an Avira Premium user, but man, the new version 9 (clean installed) seems to have gained quite a few pounds in terms of system impact. There was never any appreciable slowdown or stutter with version 8, but just dragging a window around is choppy since installing 9. Anyone else...

    is the Core i7 worth it? (compared to Quad)

    As with anything, if you don't have the money for the package, save a little more.

    Upgrade to i7, C2D, or C2Q from AMD 4400+ (S939)?

    If you have the money, might as well go with the latest tech, which is Core i7. (EDITED the AMD comment, misread the thread title)

    Max Payne 3 - Announced

    If Sam Lake isn't back as the Max Payne inspiration, forget it. (It'll probably be a Wahlberg lookalike model)

    Should I get an iPhone?

    I have an Eternity. It's pretty much weaksauce. Texting is nice on it, but the UI is a total doltberg and connectivity software is HORRIBLE.
