Yes, proprietary.  I can only install OS X on (yes, overpriced) hardware I buy from apple.  Proprietary.  Before Windows 7, I would have said I'd be using OS X if I could install it on real hardwar ...

The install doesn't care about your old windows XP/Vista keys.  You just have to have an activated copy of windows on your system to use the upgrade version, then you can use your Windows 7 upgrade k ...

I love that they pitch is as being cheaper than a new system since they can't distiguish it in terms of competing with comparable SSD offerings.   I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that any minor upgr ...

I went from 32 bit RC to 64 bit upgrade version.  It does require a clean install, so back up anything you care about.  If you try to use the 64 bit upgrade disk from the desktop of a 32 bit vers ...

Did you also hear about those new core i7 chips that offer 1200% performance improvement over those Athlon 64 FX procs from 4 years ago... ...

You mean to tell me that your 2 systems running AMD's flagship proc released this year are faster than the one you have with a 3 year old mid-range intel proc!Stop the press!!  I mean, Yawn. ...

After 6 months, it's just an "upgrade", right? ...

GDDR5 is memory used soley for graphics.  It only runs as fast as it does because it sits within inches of the GPU.  It wouldn't work on DIMMS for CPUs and sacrifices capacity for bandwidth. ...

Will this successfully push netbook prices into the traditional notebook range as well? ...

One problem I see is that even though SSD prices are going down/capacities are going up, capacities are not increasing as fast as I'm increasing my storage needs.  With HD video and high res photogra ...

AMD cihpsets don't care which memory is being used since the memory controller is in the CPU.  If they are mentioning this as a feature, it must just be to avoid explaining to the average consumer ho ...

Core i7 integrated the memory controller, but PCIe x16 was still connected to the x58 chipset.  i5's will move the PCIe x16 controller into the CPU as well, so they won't be compatible with i7 bo ...

Just reusing the Pentium BRAND, not the design.  They'll likely be procs with power consumption and performance somewhere between Atom and Core 2 Duo. ...

Count on a colossus price tag with marginal performance gains over a traditional drive. ...

That's what the definition of desktop replacement is.  It's a laptop that sits on your desk where your desktop used to be and is plugged in almost all the time.  And on the occassions that you need ...

I think you're point would be then, that no one needs an ipod that big for just music.  ...

Definitely this was my reason for steering clear of Sony.  Always tender to see someone have a change of heart, *sniff* but you don't win back customers just by admitting you're stupid.  If they we ...
