    Graphic Cards Partners still don't have Fermi final specs

    We know you love NVIDIA. But there's already a Fermi thread, and you have created at least 2 or 3 more. It's confusing to most of us. Why not post news of Fermi in one, centralised thread?

    Graphic Cards Fermi is here but not here

    Your avatar says it all, which is why I wondered about a reference to Diana. Anytime you need an English lesson, ask puttar...

    Graphic Cards Fermi is here but not here

    ^Did you know her personally to know she was shy, or just freakin shooting your trap off? Meaningful comments, not BS you dreamed of err probably creamed off. If true, I'll take you seriously :P Nicely spotted Muzux2, I wonder if it may be some pre release taiwanese edition. We all know how...

    Confused in choosing a Amp/DAC

    Eeesh. Those are warm rubbish headphones. You buggers need to audition an SR225 at least.

    Graphic Cards ASUS ROG Ares spotted

    ^Lets hope they do. The stability issues suck. Right now, for a large monitor an X58 board and two 5850s makes the most sense. Only a fool would buy the 5970. Lets hope NVIDIA can keep their GTX 480s as cool as Cypress ;)

    ^What stability lol? We've had two 5970s, both running in a/c environs. Both crash with 3D apps, one every half and hour, the other every hour.

    Storage Solutions Wanted: A good backup solution, which?

    ^Memories_dv thanks, I kinda agree. Usage once a week for an hour doesn't warrant a fan. Stalker - kinda agree too. ^mediahome no offense, but surely you're overstating things with the lots of dust part. I'm sure my HDD wouldn't be untouched for a month or so to catch dust, and it'd be in a...

    Storage Solutions Wanted: A good backup solution, which?

    And is the mechanism reliable? I mean, is the device long lasting? I'm sure Prime ABGB or someone in Mumbai should have stock of this, or is newegg my only option?

    Storage Solutions Wanted: A good backup solution, which?

    How the hell do you use 6x HDDs, you mean you plug in, back up and remove then plug in the next HDD? Isn't that a pain? Does the dock support 2 TB drives? Thanks guys, keep the suggestions coming.

    DAC discussion

    As I told Faheem, and I reiterate - they need amping, very badly. You can't use a 200$ amp to drive that load. The fact that they're not very sensitive also doesn't help. Try em with a WA6SE, you'll knock your self out trying to steal BF1983s pair :P

    FX 5051 or MX 5021 which one is best

    Re: Altek lansing mx 5021 or fx5051 which one is better?and some other audio doubts MX5021, its very good for movies, just without the surround thing. Also no shite cables snaking around everywhere ;)

    DAC discussion

    A very good link. You deserve to be repped! I surprised I didn't come across it on HF. But then I'm not hunting for a DAC. At least, not yet :P I need a Sophia Princess rectifier tube. Can you get one? Don't ask which amp :P it's top secret

    Confused in choosing a Amp/DAC

    This is never the case. When you cross 1000$ for headphone amps, for example, the performance difference between a 50 percent costlier amp will be 5 percent, or if you're lucky, 15 percent. However, for cheaper 100~300$ stuff, the difference will be more, but never proportionate, unless you're...

    Storage Solutions Wanted: A good backup solution, which?

    I'm looking for lots of space - 1.5TB would be a good place to start. I cannot spend a lot, not as much as the 3.5" external solutions cost. Assume budget to be 7K max. Wouldn't mind trying out an internal HDD + casing, but don't know much about reliability. Could spend up to 8 if I were to get...

    CPU/Mobo Core i7 930 shows up in retail

    Now they have no 9 series numbers remaining. I hope we don't see Core i7 945s and 955s, that would be too much :P 2.88 GHz, nice clocks though, fractional multiplier obviously.

    DAC discussion

    Totally misleading... So a Lavry could replace my ST? lol ^Sound is so subjective, and depends on your benchmark, which is the best you've heard. It also depends on the music, have you listened to a studio recording with monitor speakers for example. That is an example of true neutrality...
