I know they are obnoxious, but right now I have no idea how much of a boost they will generate for my Tech Tips budget. I don’t want to do anything to annoy you guys without asking you first, so please tell me how you feel by voting “like” or “dislike”

NCIX Tech Tips #17 – Eee PC 1000 vs 901

Well another day another Tech Tips. This one was actually able to launch while I was gone. I realize we’ve done a lot of coverage on these sub-notebooks, but honestly I think it’s a very relevant topic because the product category is so new and exciting to many people.

We’ve got a lot of exciting things coming up for Tech Tips and we’re making constant efforts to improve our release schedule. Thank you for your viewing and the feedback that has allowed Tech Tips to keep improving.

NCIX Tech Tips #14 – DDR2 vs. DDR3 Memory

Linus — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:10:15 +0000

This was a tough topic for me to approach. On one hand I’ve got the state of the memory market right now, which is >99% DDR2, but on the other hand, I’ve got to consider that that’s about to change. DDR3 is quickly becoming a viable option. X38/X48 and 790i were designed for use with DDR3, whereas all of the previous chipsets were designed for use with DDR2 and DDR3 support felt like something of an afterthought.

I’ve been criticized a little bit for calling out Corsair’s marketing names for their products and ignoring the others, but when it comes down to it, A) Corsair is a GREAT choice for system memory and power supplies (and anything else they make), and B) They were the ones who ponied up the RAM for us to showcase in the Tech Tips. If anyone else had asked to have their RAM featured, we would have been happy to oblige. It all comes down to support, and I’ll support whoever supports the Tech Tips project.
