price tag, while the Core 2 Solo SU3500 will run at 1.4GHz and cost $262
- 7 Intel Core i7 X58 Motherboards Tested and Compared -

Extreme and the Gigabyte X58-Extreme, both motherboards targeting the
high-end enthusiast market.

support and Crossfire capabilities. Those looking for a nice upgrade for
their existing socket AM2 processor now have HDMI, HDCP and a half decent
integrated videocard at their fingertips.

demonstrated ultimate performance in certain tests,
it's apparently a king of 3D graphics, the fastest graphics card these
days.

(1.6GHz), 512MB of RAM, GMA950 graphics, a 4GB solid state drive (plenty for
surfing the web, checking e-mail, office apps) and a 4-cell battery.

require QuickTime (or a freeware player such as VLC) to view.

interesting to hear about the actual scientific side of things in Watchmen

Also, why buy as soon as released? Wait until folks 'beta' test it and then read feed back. It's the same old scenario with software (games etc) nothing new. Besides what do folks do to break a laptop hinge? I've had my Dell for nearly a year and can't for the life of me think i could break the hinge accidently. Bizarre | |
