Soler, if you want a super-fast computer, regardless if you get a pre-configured one or build a DIY one, the most often ignored component that has a HUGE impact on performance is the hard-drive. If you're going to be shelling out that kind of $$$, then spend an extra $200-300 and get 15k-rpm SAS...

The thing to get is ball-bearing fans. That's usually the part that fails first in a PS and then the whole thing overheats and self-destructs (sometimes taking out the MB with it). On any computer I get, I always open up the PS and check to see if it's got a ball-bearing fan. If not, I'll...

The 2007fp is a regular 4:3 format while the 2005fpw is 16:10 widescreen format.

Personally, I would go with dedicated and specalized hardware. Such as a Castelle FaxPress 5000. http://www.castelle.com/products/fp5000.htm Nice thing is it routes faxes based upon email-address so no manual sorting needed. BTW - GPU isn't used in any way with fax-software. The queue is...

Yeah, empathy is hard to convey. For the friend's son, I'd say instead of tears, use the analogy of "Imagine you're waiting for your parents to come home. And you have to tell them that you crashed their cars into the lake. And burned down the house." Now imagine having to face that each and...

Sometimes, you lose the entire mattress as well: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1244371059980&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull As for the Fisho, there's that saying about a fool...

The problem with Intel's multi-core design is that each core shares the same memory through the FSB. Yes, even two cores on the same die goes through the FSB to access memory. With AMD's design, each CPU has its own memory bus and memory. On my 16-core machine, the 8th VM runs just as fast as...

The thing you must keep in mind with various benchmarks is that they are testing a SINGLE application. It's tough to make a SINGLE applications scale linearly with additional processors. However, what quad-core CPUs will do for you is let you multitask MULTIPLE applications faster. If you're...

Thanks Brent, I was looking for something along the lines of an accounting package really. Once we get that set up, I'm sure we'll be looking for data-feeds and charting software as well and will check out what you've got. :)

My investment club is getting more sophisticated and getting into doing options strategies. We're looking for software that'll manage the allocations for each member as well as track trades. Anyone know of an options package that's usable for clubs (less than 10 people). Also is there a...

Stay away from the Atom CPU, it's dog-slow. They traded away too much processing power for battery-life. Come on, who's going to be using their laptop for 8-12 hrs straight without needing a break? I'd rather keep mine plugged in and get some decent performance out of it. Stay with the Core2Duo...

Exactly, excess carbs/proteins that's floating around after your glycogen stores are fully replenished will end up as fat, no way around it. I'm not sure what you mean by comparing mass of muscles to liver? All I was pointing out was that the muscles store a lot more glycogen than the liver. And...

Hmm... well that's the old policy, I'm sure the new policy doesn't say anything about needing votes to implement changes right? It's like Prohibition, what was once legal is not illegal. Are they gonna go back and arrest everyone who've ever had a drink? That's it the past, it's over with...

Yeah, your body prefers glucose (carbs) first for energy. But isn't the substrate-utilization of your body primarily dependent upon muscle- and liver-glycogen supply? If you're fully stocked up with glycogen then ingested protein won't be converted to glucose for energy, like at the beginning of...

I don't understand what you mean by this. What happens to protein when it is digested? And where does it go? Does the speed of digestion affect where it ends up?

Well, I've been watching the foreclosure auctions on the S.B. courthouse steps and the volume has increased tremendously this past year. There's easily 2-3x as many homes being auctioned off this year compared to last. But I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet, I think there's still a lot more...

Performance is great on a LAN at full 32-bit color. Even across a WAN, I check up on about 50 computers at remote locations. Using basic 8-bit (256-color) screen settings, it can be quite useable across the internet. :)

I don't pretend to know what women want or even think that I have them figured out. I just go by what they say: UK - Women think a man's a catch on £50,000 a year I follow the Jeet Kune Do philosophy of dating & trading where there are no pre-set strategies or formats to follow. Just...
