New Z77 tech, very interesting

[HCCA]

^^Nuh THAT new. I remember using a RamDisk software back in dial up days

Dey just improve on the GUI and the capacity of ram utilized.

+1, ram disks only recently become practical because of 8gig dimms and they will continue to play a bigger role as density increases, but they out long time

Toshiba Qosmio, Asus ROG have very good configurations as well.

Toshiba Qosmio

THIS. 18.4" is just the tip of the iceberg

[altec]

I am looking at these two and wondering if the extra price is worth it for the first?

Actually it woulda be best to wait for Ivy Bridge type laptops to come out.

You could check amazon and newegg to see the new releases.

good read on internet development in south korea, dated though it may be

[Elyon]

read that a while ago, and honestly i'm not surprised south korea treats e-sport like how europe treats football, but that article was in 2010. Ever wonder how much things has changed?

in unrelated news amazon has a radeon 7970 for $460 usd

http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-P ... 95&sr=8-10

what this likely means? gtx 680's going to be stocked either this week or next week.

Amazon done listing availability dates as the 25th and 26th april.

The prices atrocious doh, more than $600us.

D only cheap one i find today is this:

510 not bad, they should all be around that price, but yeah seeing alot of reselling putting it around 600 so, and amazon pricing scheme is crap anyway, I remember when i was looking for ram, amazon had it @ $60 after there 'savings' but even there resellers had it for $45 after shipping, eventually it drops.

Newegg more likely to have the accurate msrp when they get though.

It's all supply and demand in the end though.
