    CPU/Mobo XP Mode trouble for Intel CPUs

    Except that this feature has hardly been heavily hyped (it was under wraps till a week ago!), and is only targeted to Enterprises (hence no presence at all on Home Premium) and the minimum requirements for it are specific....

    Window Aircon - Switch off or leave it running at a higher temp

    Well, some years ago, I had a health issue which required keeping the AC on 24 hours a day for a month. Turns out the bill was no higher than keeping it on for 5 hours a day. This is because the AC was rarely actually running since the moment the temperature started rising, it would wake up for...

    CPU/Mobo AMD's next-gen Bulldozer is a 128-bit crunching monster

    It isn't a new architecture as best as I can tell - they just seem to be implementing the XMM registers and associated instructions better. But that won't make a difference to most scenarios.

    NTFS vs FAT32

    I can hardly comment as to why others didn't think the same way as me. Half of the pros of NTFS listed here aren't even taking everything into account (cluster size is really not the only issue here, rather it is the inability to have constant cluster sizes across filesystems). I critique...
