While I will agree some movies appear better with 120Hz disabled, 120Hz is the best for sports.  It's a great feature of modern-day LCDs, and you shouldn't knock it unless you've lived with it for a period of time.

>>LCDs are crap for color correction in videos and photo editing!<<

Who does this with an LCD TV?  I think you're the one confusing computer monitors with LCD TVs.  You really need to read up on the technology before you call the author "lame."

To be that thin, it's an edge LED backlight.  Edge backlight designs cannot perform local dimming and do not have as good uniformity as full-frame backlights.  So, to get razor-think bragging rights you have to trade off image quality... and pay a premium to boot.

A fair comparison would actually be matching the price point.  If Intel can deliver 8-cores for the price of AMD's 6, then that's what matters.  OTOH, if AMD can deliver a dual 6-core system for the price of a single Nehalem EX, it will be an AMD 12-core vs. Intel 8-core server slugfest.

24 (4 CPUs x 6 cores) procs showing up in task manager, but it pales in comparison to Nehalem EX.  Eight cores with HT, a four-way server will show 64 threads.  This is what that looks like: http://tinyurl.com/5skrec

IBM has a 8-way Nehalem EX in the works.  That will show 128 CPUs in task manager!

Who cares about her choice of PC... redheads are hot!  I'd hit it, reboot and hit it again.

As far as I can tell, my netflix subscription, which is the cheapo-one DVD/blue ray at a time, has not gone up.  Still a lot better than Blockbuster for me.

No really, I want to know if it can play Quake III.  Or do I need to dig up Castle Wolfenstein for this overpriced, underpowered & overweight disappointment?

Can it even do smooth blue-ray playback?

Eagerly awaiting MPC's review,

Sounds waaaay too much like Adama.  I will have to kill them all.

The suggested workarounds are stupid.  You only need to unregister the vulnerable .dll until patched.  Instructions are here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/961051.mspx

Divorce the biatch, get youself someone 5 years younger and a helluva lot thinner like I did.  Believe me, it was almost a relief not to have to have sex last night and finally get a good night's sleep!
