Also, Intel's kind of been in a holding pattern with light improvements between Conroe, Penryn and Montevina platforms (basically stepping up the FSB). But their next platform, Nehalem, is supposed to be a rather large performance increase. So I'll probably get back into the upgrade game when...

Phew, I've survived another round of Apple Upgraditis! My 2 year old 2.33GHz MBP is still plugging along quite well. I guess it helps that I loaded it with 4GB of RAM and replaced the HD with a 200GB 7200RPM drive. :D Until the processor speeds jump up to 3, or move to quad core, and the 4GB...

Oh man, Apple branded HDTVs would cost a grip! (given their standard markup) I'm not sure this would be a smart move given the economy. However, the Apple Displays are long overdue for a new version. iLife and iWork: Yes the event is about notebooks, but inevitably these programs "come with a...

The way I had it explained to me by a techie was that the theoretical limit of USB2.0 was greater than Firewire400 (480Mbps vs. 400Mbps) but in actual practice Firewire400 average throughput was faster. My own anecdotal evidence comes with two different external drives of 500GB each, both were...
