PCIe is not a bus in the strict sense, it is actually point-to-point. So such analysis is meaningless for PCIe. So if you have a NIC and a SATA PCIe card, both will be directly connected to the system using dedicated x1/x4 etc. lines instead of sharing a common "bus" like the old PCI used to.

You can make an educated decision. When you find your system slow, check if RAM is fully utilized. See some simple guides like this to figure out if almost all memory is used at those times. Get more RAM only if most of your slowdowns correspond to full memory utilization at those times...

Hi guys, What do you guys do to play video files (possibly images and music too) on your TVs? Wireless streaming from a computer would be preferable, but if it is too expensive, I might even go for a USB hard drive based solution temporarily. Any advice would be much appreciated. Anyone having...

In the US, there are Verizon Android phones sold that have Bing as search engine instead of Google. So Google makes absolutely zero from those phones, not even search traffic. Yahoo might be doing a similar thing to those phones - sending search traffic to Yahoo. Even though they use the same...

Hi, most of the information you need has been provided by gurus here. Just wanted to add that since gaming is a primary requirement, iPhone might be better for you. Though its hardware is inferior to many Android phones here, but the number of games playable on iPhone is still significantly...

Thanks, now it becomes tolerable.

Seems there is no distinction between apps and games in this Market version. So looking for apps is going to be a task of manually separating apps from games - quite inconvenient since majority are useless stupid games.

Man, I would have travelled from Hyderabad to Chennai for this deal, had it come a week ago. Anyway, ordered from Ebay/ICCWorld now at higher price and no looky touchy feely before buying.

That's one more reason to go with DEFY. If retailers are against it, it means they are getting less margin for DEFY (and Motorola in general). That means you are getting more of your money's worth.

I guess iPhone is the right choice for you and it seems to be a great phone, but just for the sake of discussion, take this argument of yours : Either you consider Samsung to be a brand, or Samsung Galaxy SII to be a brand. In the former case, Samsung by far outsells Apple. So if outselling is...

You post 5 sentences about why they should not be compared. Then say "cpu/gpu is inferior than many phones out there", which is a comparison. This proves my point - that you cannot not compare.

Currently both are available in similar prices in India, both are smart-phones, satisfy largely the same needs - mainl phone, web and other apps. Both are current flagship models of their respective series. Comparisons are unavoidable. If iPhone competed with SG I, SG II is out, where is iPhone...

Covering only uncovered points. Note that I was a fan of Symbian, before Nokia (practically) abandoned it. For the moment, assume that virus and malware are the same thing, then yes. Only known source of harmful software currently on Android is Applications you download and install yourself...

I hear Atrixes that are available have signed bootloader so cannot load custom ROMs onto them. Not only that, AT&T installed bloatware on them, which are open pop-ups to upgrade them and some of these bloatware cannot be deleted. Make sure before buying.

Please read my post. I never said quad core LGA 775s were not powerful. I said they were practically not available in 2009 - all my attempts to buy them in India failed, online retailers in US also didn't stock them, couldn't see any consumer review of these too. I never said anything about...

@Hades and exremegforce, I may be wrong about this in this case, but Intel is known for bait and switch in such matters. In 2006 or so, Intel announced that LGA 775 motherboards will be compatible with quad core Core 2 series processors. Asus sold LGA 775 motherboards with stickers "Quad core...

Hi guys, I have a 10 months old Spica on which I have installed custom ROM. The earphone jack has become loose hence any earphones give very weird noise. I want to try to get warranty repair of this phone (I hope warranty should be good for a year). Will the service centre create problems in...

If you don't have any specific requirement, other than mentioned in the first post, you practically don't need the latest Android. As for bug fixes - any detailed review of the phone (and TE comments) will tell you if the phone software / hardware / drivers have any serious bugs. So you would...

Agn, official updates are nice and all, but I don't understand this obsession with latest Android. Though only you know your true requirements, so pardon me if you do have a specific requirement, but .. Initially, Android was lacking important features (Apps only on phone memory, no bluetooth...

I was in a similar dilemma 6 months ago. I finally settled on Nokia C1-01. My budget was also higher than the Rs. 2,500 that C1-01 cost, but more expensive phones are more complicated. C1-01 has relatively large sized fonts so good for mom. Keypad could have been better, though she is ok with...
