Shouldn't that subtitle be: "3D XPoint at the last Xroad."🤔 But seriously, it's a shame. I only ever used it seriously in one system but it was incredibly useful when you really needed that memory density, or an intermediate caching layer with extremely durable writes. It's failure kinda...

Article title should be "Bergamo", not "Begamo" Gotta teach that spell check Italian 😉 Thanks for all the great content and hard work you put in🌹

pjmelect is right about the ability of Windows 7 to read any file system that DOS could have possibly written to that disk. It's pretty obvious to me that the disk, or at least the file system has been damaged. Luckily, it is still seen as a drive by the OS, so you've got a pretty good...

Honestly, most of the standard video editing applications on the market (like, Adobe Premiere Pro) have optimizations for nVidia's CUDA GPGPU technology. Nobody uses AMD cards for video editing. As far as gaming goes, they're extremely competitive, but for video, it's a much better plan to use...

The Xeon E3 CPUs are based on the Sandybridge architecture. That whole architecture can not be run in a dual-socket configuration. If you want a dual socket (8 or 12 core) System, you have to use a Xeon 5500 or 5600 series CPU (Socket 1366). The question is: Can your apps take advantage of...

Super, You're absolutely right that the 570 is a much better deal than the 580. In the case of HDVideo11's build however, it's still somewhat overkill IMO. Lucid's Hydra implementation allows a third party video card to play nicely with the Intel Integrated video processor built in to...

Ok, so here's how you can repay me: When you get this monster-rig, please post your impressions of the parts / build quality, and do a couple of benchmarks on the Revo and the storage array. You're using pretty new components, so there's not as much feedback out there as there could be. Yours...

Ok, so here's my response list: ____________________________________________ ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Model #: P8Z68-V PRO Item #:N82E16813131730 $209.99 $209.99 9x Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s...

If you're just editing content from a camera that shoots MPEG4 then all this stuff is honestly overkill. For >$4000 you can get one absolutely obscenely fast machine. Additionally, using Premiere Elements is going to significantly limit you from a performance, as well as feature standpoint...

Where does all the storage go? Who needs 1TB 2.5" HDDs? - I have a netbook for taking on service calls, troubleshooting, music/video on the subway, mobile office, etc. 120GB is fine here. - I have a Dell XPS - 17" @ 1920x1080 4GB RAM, etc for taking to clients and doing Photoshop / 3D stuff...

"hopefully by way of a completely OS overhaul." Marcus: The *last three consecutive* news articles I've read of yours have had weird stupid grammar / spelling errors... Dude. Spell check won't solve all your problems. Either shape up or get someone to proofread your work. It reflects very...

I know that everyone here doesn't have the same technology understanding, but it's still amazing to me to see people with no grasp of the topic at hand weigh in with ignorant near non sequiturs. Wozniak (who lends serious credibility to this project by his mere presence) is quoted as saying...

Although at the moment it seems to be a non-standards-based connector, it seems that the eSATA + USB port is the future for this type of device, as it provides the ability to get (at least 150MB/s) SATA and 5v @ 500mA USB power in to a single interface. Evidently there were murmurings of a...
